Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1227

Naturally, Nicholas figured out what Tessa was up to. Meanwhile, Wanda’s face grew even darker as she glared at Tessa, who was rebuking her. “What do you mean by that?”

She clenched her fists as she fired back at Tessa. “You keep saying that Nicholas doesn’t care about the relationship between the two families, but he wouldn’t have come here today! if he didn’t!” Tessa declared icily.

She paused for a moment and her tone grew sharper when she continued, “You, on the other hand, keep banking on the relationship between the two families as you carry on doing even more and more reprehensible things. Don’t you feel embarrassed of yourself? What makes you think you have the right to stand here and criticize someone else?”

Wanda was livid and she trembled with rage. “As if you know anything!” She glared at Tessa as if she was a predator who was about to pounce on its prey.

Tessa wasn’t afraid. She looked Wanda straight in the eye as she said, “I may not know much, but I know what it means to have a sense of

propriety. You know very well that Nicholas and I married, and yet you still keep trying to break us up. That’s called being shameless. Aren’t the Mullers supposed to be a prestigious family? I’m sure the children are raised with a strict upbringing. Mr. Muller seems like a sensible and reasonable elder, so I have no idea how the family produced someone like you who’s immature and lacks a sense of propriety!”

In all honesty, Tessa felt bad for Horace. On the way over, she heard the news that Horace was hospitalized out of his vexation at Wanda.

“Miss Muller, I know having a prestigious family background and family elders who dote on you gives you confidence and a sense of security, but it doesn’t mean you have the right to do whatever you want. Mr. Muller is protective of you because you’re his granddaughter and he loves you.

He doesn’t want you to suffer in any way, but what about you? Haven’t you besmirched your grandfather’s reputation enough and wasted his love for you?”

Tessa’s unrelenting castigation made Wanda feel as if all the most shameful sides of her were on display.
