All Chapters of Tangled Desire: My Daddy, My Professor: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Cater's POVAfter the intense moment with Tessa, I made my way out of my office to compile fresh air outside. I was surprised when I saw Rebecca about to open the door to my office. I squeeze up my face, wondering why she was there."I was about to knock on your door," she said to me, and I raised my brows. "Why are you here?" I asked, unable to comprehend why she kept monitoring my movements."I'm just here to ask you a few questions," she replied. "I saw a student coming out of your office earlier, and she seemed to be sweating. I don't know what happened, but I think I should ask you why a student is sweating after coming out of your office." I was astonished. Is she monitoring me and Tessa? Why is she doing this? Why is she being a devil behind me?I screwed up my face. "Are you surprised that a student is coming out of a lecturer's office? How are you bothered that the student is sweating because it's hot inside the office," I asked, playing naive as if I didn't understand what s

TessaWe waited patiently in front of the emergency door, anticipating the doctor's update. My body was still shaking, but less than when we first arrived. My mom continued to weep, her tears a testament to her genuine care for Mr. Carter.I sat beside her, consumed by guilt. I regretted my actions, sleeping with Mr. Carter. I couldn't understand what had drawn me to him, but now I regretted it. My mom's heartbreak state was evident in her reaction, she seemed so lost, and I feared how she would react if she discovered my relationship with him.Tears welled up in my eyes as I sat on the floor, lost in the memories. The emergency room doors swung open, and I stood up with my mom, rushing toward the doctor."Doctor, what happened? How is his condition? Is he okay?" she cried out not giving the doctor a chance to answer the questions one after the other, desperation was evident in her voice. The doctor nodded reassuringly. "We're glad to say he'll be able to go home soon, although his

TessaI rushed to call the doctor who had attended to him yesterday in the operating room. He came and performed some tests on him, I watched him do everything.After a while, he raised his head with a gentle smile."What happened, doctor? Is he awake now?" I asked, and he shook his head, which slumped my shoulder."But he will soon," he said. "He has shown signs that his situation is improving, so keep hope for the next two days, he should be out of bed." He explained with a bright smile."Thank you, doctor," I bowed my head."Keep a close eye on him," he uttered before quickly leaving the room.I stared at Mr. Carter before walking toward his bed and kneeling beside him, gently grabbing his hand."Wake up quickly. Mom and I miss you," I spoke, unaware of when the words slipped from my lips, but I didn't care.I stood up quickly, walked to the side, pulled out my phone, and dialed my mom's number."Hello, Mom," my voice boomed with happiness, and I knew she would be wondering why I w

TessaI watched him swallow his words and stormed out. I knew he was angry, but if he didn't want me to call him Grumpy again, he should just say his name out loud or else leave me to keep calling him by his nickname generated by me."Tessa," I heard Mr. Samuel's voice dragging me back to reality."What?" I raised my gaze, and he gave me a keen look as if he had an idea of what I was thinking about."I saw those eyes," he said with a puckered mouth, and I scoffed continuously."Which eyes?" I hissed inwardly, but he didn't get angry at me, instead, his reading face increased."The eyes you gave to the doctor. Don't tell me you have a thing for him?" He pointed to the direction the doctor had used earlier. I quickly stood up with a loud gasp. "No, how could you say that?" I waved my hand in the air. The person I had something for was the one lying on the bed, not Mr. Grumpy. How I wished I could say that aloud. Too bad I can't unless I want to get myself into trouble."I don't have my

TessaThe next morning, I woke up with a tired body, my eyes on my mum, who was still sleeping peacefully beside me. My gaze shifted to Mr. Carter, whose eyes were still closed.I clasped my hands together, closing my eyes as I whispered a little prayer. When I opened my eyes, Mum had already woken up, her eyes on me."Praying?" she asked, and I nodded happily."Good," she whispered.I stood up from the bed, stretching my body tiredly. The usual morning coffee smell filled the air, and I'd love to buy some, but the fact that I would have to line up for more than 30 minutes made it frustrating.My phone suddenly rang from the stool where I had put it."Your phone is ringing," Mum said, even though I had already heard it.I walked over to pick it up, and it was Leah calling. I had saved her number since yesterday when she called.I slid the green button and put it on my left ear."What's up? Hope you don't forget about the practical?" she asked, and a gasp escaped my lips. I had totally
