Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1184

Chapter 1184 A Storm Is Brewing

Meanwhile, Tessa had been held up by Gregory the moment she returned home. “Mommy, play with me, please.” “Sure.” Tessa naturally wouldn’t say no to the little one. However, her mind was on Reinhart Group’s issue the whole time, for she found Timothy and Sabrina’s behavior suspicious.

Later that night, Nicholas returned home to find Tessa spacing out on the couch alone. With that, he sat next to her, pulled her into his arms, and asked, “A penny for your thought?”

“You’re back.” Tessa smiled lovingly at Nicholas after coming to herself. At that, Nicholas tapped her nose dotingly and reiterated, “What’s distracting you so much that you didn’t even realize I’ve come back?”

“I was just thinking about how you compete for a project and if someone can steal it from you at any time.” The young woman thought out loud as she looked at her beloved, who gladly explained it to her when he met her expecting gaze. “It’s usually a fair competition for all. But because the market is ever-changing, it’s very normal for any company to lose their advantage.”

At that, he paused and gazed quizzically at Tessa. “Why would it suddenly come to your mind?”

“I visited Timothy at his company in the afternoon, and I happened to hear one of their managers say another one of their projects had been intercepted again. But after hearing what you have just said, let’s hope I’m just worrying for nothing.” Tessa recounted her afternoon briefly to him.

To that, Nicholas nodded before reassuring his wife. “Since Timothy said it’s nothing, then it should be fine. No need to worry.”

Despite saying so, he, too, thought something wasn’t right. Thus, after dinner, he gave Edward a call while dealing with work in the study.

“Look into the recent situation with Reinhart Group’s projects.”

“Yes, sir.” Edward obliged, then investigated the situation at once, only to find something amiss.
