Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1216

Chapter 1216 As Hard as Nails

“According to them, it’s in the hospital,” Tessa replied as she rested her head on Nicholas’ shoulder. As soon as Tessa said this, Gregory, who had just arrived downstairs, coincidentally heard her.

Gregory immediately assumed that she was feeling unwell and was going to the hospital, so he rushed over and asked in a panicked tone, “Mommy, are you sick?”

She couldn’t help but feel a sense of warmth flowing through her heart when she saw the undisguised concern on his chubby little face. “I’m not sick. I’m just saying I’m going to the hospital to work this Friday.”

“Then, I’m going with you. I will accompany you while you work,” Gregory resolutely announced while throwing expectant glances at her.

When Tessa heard his words, her mind wandered. There will be many children coming that day, and if Greg comes along, he will be able to play with those children. At that thought, Tessa nodded, agreeing to allow Gregory to follow her to the hospital this Friday.

On the other hand, Wanda was very displeased after she, too, received the news that Tessa was soon to be appointed as the official ambassador for the Charity Foundation for Children with Congenital Diseases.

“This b*tch! How dare she?!” Wanda hissed through gritted teeth, her resentment utterly boiling over the cauldron.

It’s even worse when I recall that not only is my reputation as Miss Wanda of the Mullers now tarnished, but I can even hardly hold my head high among my relatives and friends just because of that pest.

Wanda’s gaze turned even more sinister when she arrived on that train of thought. No! Tessa will bask in glory over my dead body!

Just as she contemplated bringing Tessa down once and for all, the butler suddenly knocked on the door and entered. “Miss Wanda, Mr. Oliver is here.”

Wanda frowned upon hearing that. Even so, she still reluctantly got up and went downstairs to greet Oliver. Meanwhile, Oliver was waiting in the living room with a bouquet of delicate roses in his arms.

When he saw Wanda, who had made her appearance, he made his way over while holding the bouquet. “For you, Wanda.”

“Thank you.” Wanda took the bouquet of roses with an indifferent expression before she handed it to the butler next to her.

For these past few days, Oliver had been personally sending her flowers every day in an attempt to please her. Alas, it didn’t quite work out for him.

Despite her apathetic stance toward him, he didn’t mind. All was good as long as she didn’t call off the engagement.

He followed her and sat on the couch. Then, he valiantly ignored the detached look on her face as he invited her with a smile, “I’ve made a reservation in a French restaurant on Kings Avenue. We’ll be just in time if we go there to have our meal now.”

“What’s going on here? Why have you been asking me out every few days? Are you done dealing with those two lovers of yours?” Wanda asked imperiously as she raised her eyebrows and gave Oliver a dismissive once over.
