Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1169

Chapter 1169 Celebrate in Advance

Gregory’s expression became serious as well after noticing the stern look on his father’s face. “I won’t do it again.”

He nodded with the look of someone who was properly chided. Although Tessa couldn’t bear to see him this way, she didn’t say anything.

Nicholas was strict with Gregory, but it was for his sake. Gregory was destined for a future that was unlike other children.

Ever since he was a child, he was raised to be the future successor of the Sawyers’ family business. Thus, he couldn’t behave in an unprincipled manner. Just as Tessa’s mind filled up with thoughts, Nicholas’ voice rang out again.

“In addition to that, although I arranged for you to learn self-defense, you must remember not to use what you’ve learned to harm others on purpose. Understood?” “Yes, I understand.”

Gregory nodded again. Nicholas’ expression relaxed as he praised, “You did well today, but if I were you, I wouldn’t have given them the chance to call the teacher over.”

Tessa hadn’t fully registered what Nicholas meant yet. It was Gregory whose eyes sparkled as he looked at Nicholas. “What would you have done, Daddy?”

“First of all, I wouldn’t have struck them in public. You lose the ability to steer things in a favorable direction that way. Secondly, I would have told them that only cowards and weaklings tattled to the teacher.”

Nicholas taught Gregory the art of being cunning. Tessa finally figured out what Nicholas meant. She didn’t know how to react, so she smacked him lightly. “Don’t teach Gregory the wrong things.”

She turned to Gregory and asked caringly, “How did the competition go?”

Needless to say, Gregory wasn’t concerned about the competition at all. However, noticing his mother’s concern, he patiently advised her, “Relax, Mommy. Don’t fret so much. Just wait. You’ll be hearing good news soon enough.”

Tessa chuckled, but she did agree that she was fretting quite a bit.
