Chapter 2287
Nicholas woke up early in the morning. He was going to the school to check on some matter that day.
He was preparing to go to the gym to run. When he opened the curtain of the balcony, he saw a graceful and beautiful figure on the opposite balcony.
Cecilia was also awake. She was holding a comb and was gently combing her long black silky hair. She has thick bangs on her forehead, a small and delicate oval face, and a pair of black eyes under her long eyebrows. Although there was no light in her eyes, her skin was fair and her lips were red. She had no lipstick yet she was as beautiful as spring peach blossoms. Such beauty was rare in the world.
Nicholas couldn't help looking at her a few more times. Georgely speaking, she was the type of girl he would fall for. She was quiet and well-behaved, giving off an ethereal feeling.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Nicholas couldn't help but wanted to take pictures of her using his phone. He took a picture of Cecelia combing her hair and looked at her carefully. Her picture looked like a painting.
Nicholas glanced at the time, quickly put on his clothes, and then went downstairs.
He wore a black suit and a white shirt with a tie. He looked formal and mature with this outfit.
"Arrange someone to send over two sisters' breakfasts."
Nicholas instructed Hendrix at the dining table.
Hendrix looked at him suspiciously and asked, "No way, Mr. Nicholas, are you really going to take care of them?"
Isn't this a little hasty?"
Nicholas rolled his eyes at him. "Can't you just see it as my kind gesture?"
"The two sisters are in a difficult situation. I want to help if I can help. Take it as me doing good deeds."
"Okay, okay, okay. You're the boss. You make the decision. I'm just expressing my opinion."
Seeing that Nicholas's face turned black, Hendrix immediately listened and didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Only then did Nicholas let out a sigh of relief. After breakfast, Nicholas and Hendrix left by car.
The school they registered at was one of the best schools in the world. Worldwide's elites would come over to further study. Nicholas wanted to keep a low profile and not expose his identity by making as little introductions as possible.
Nicholas was just visiting that day as there were still a few days left before the official semester starts. Nicholas and Hendrix walked around the school trying to familiarize themselves with the environment. They met and had lunch together with a few children from rich and powerful families.
There was no arrangement for the afternoon, hence Nicholas and Hendrix planned to walk around the city.
When it was getting dark, Hendrix's phone rang. He glanced at it and felt an instant headache.
"My cousin called."
Hendrix's cousin's name was Rebecca. She was from an extraordinary family that was involved in both business and politics. The purpose of her calling this time was very obvious.
Nicholas frowned and said, "You can pick up the call."
Hendrix had no choice but to answer the phone. He heard a girl crying from the other end of the phone. "Cousin, where are you?"
I just got off the plane. I... I'm very scared. Can you come and pick me up?"
"What?
"Rebecca, where are you?"
Hendrix was stunned.
Rebecca told him the address. It turned out that she had booked a flight by herself to find Hendrix or to be exact to look for Nicholas.
"Are you out of your mind? Who told you to come here alone? If Uncle knew, he would definitely scold you to death."
Hendrix was furious. He didn't know Rebecca could be that bold to sneak out of the country without telling her family.
"This is because I miss you... you're here. Cousin, come and pick me up. I'm really scared. It's getting dark, and my English is not very proficient you know."
Rebecca's voice quavered. It was obvious that she was scared.
"Wait for me at the airport. Stay wherever you are and don't go anywhere. Wait for me to come and teach you a lesson."
Hendrix was really angry, what if something happened to her?
Hendrix anxiously told Nicholas about the situation after he hung up the phone. Nicholas said, "Then you quickly go pick her up. I'll head back first." "Mr. Nicholas, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect Rebecca to be so bold. I will definitely scold her when I see her."
After saying that, Hendrix immediately drove the car to the airport.
Nicholas on the other hand took a taxi to go home. As soon as he arrived home, he glanced over to the direction of Cecilia's bungalow, where only the first floor lights were left on.
Nicholas hesitated for two seconds, but he couldn't help walking over to Cecelia's bungalow.
He knocked on the door politely and heard Cecilia's nervous and uneasy voice. "Who is it?" "It's me, Nicholas."
Hearing her voice, Nicholas was stunned. "Is her sister not home at this hour?"
"Oh, it's Mr. Ling. Please come in."
Cecilia's voice relaxed, and then she got up, trying to open the door.
Nicholas heard a loud sound. Seems like she had hit something along the way. She let out a cry of pain. His heart clenched and he immediately reached out to push the door open. However, the door was locked from the inside. He could only wait for her to come over.
As Cecelia opened the door, she looked up and continued to pretend to be blind. Her acting was flawless. She set her vision far and not focus on anything. Her innocent act instead made guys fall for her.
"Mr. Ling, are you off work?"
Cecilia's voice was very pleasant, very crisp, and was suitable for her age.
Nicholas responded with a deep "hmm" and looked at her from head to toe.
Looking at her from a closer distance, he found that her skin was great, fair, moist, and chubby.
She had baby fat on her oval face, which made her look more lovely.
"Mr. Ling, do you want some water?
I... I'll get you a bottle of water."
Cecilia was anxious and nervous, but she still asked politely.
"I'll take it myself."
Nicholas wouldn't let her take it. What if she hit something again?
"Did you hit something just now? Were you hurt?"
Nicholas took a bottle of water, opened it, took a sip, and then asked her with concern.
Cecilia subconsciously moved her left leg backward, which obviously implied that her left leg was hurt.
Naturally, Nicholas could tell that she was trying to hide something. He immediately walked over and crouched down to check on her.
"No, no, no... No, I will wait for Leana to come back."
Cecilia looked frightened and quickly stepped back. However, she didn't know that there was a chair behind her. She tripped and fell back.
"Ah..." Cecilia screamed. The next
second, she felt her waist was grabbed by an extremely strong arm, and her whole body was caught in time. Nicholas exerted a little strength, and pulled her body towards him.
