Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1230

Horace nodded with confidence in response to Wanda’s question, and at the same time, he felt grateful toward Tessa. Earlier on, when he saw Wanda running into Nicholas downstairs, he came down as well out of concern, but he ended up overhearing what Tessa said.

Tessa’s words were a little harsh, but Horace felt that she was pretty remarkable. She was able to knock sense into his stubborn granddaughter. It’s no wonder Nicholas likes her so much.

Why would Nicholas take a liking to his granddaughter when he had such a bright and positive young woman by his side?

However, Horace believed that Wanda would change for the better too after everything that happened. He glanced down at the couple who were leaving hand-in-hand before gently patting Wanda’s shoulder.

“Stop looking at them. Come. Let’s talk.”

Wanda nodded. She glanced at the couple one last time before sitting down beside Horace. Tessa didn’t know that Wanda had been enlightened by her words.

She happily followed Nicholas back to the car and left. Meanwhile, at the police station. Oliver was released after being detained for a day.

When he got home, he saw his parents sitting in the living room with grim expressions. “Mom, Dad,” he greeted. What he received in return was not his parents’ concern but his father’s slap.

Oliver had not seen it coming. He ended up stumbling to the floor. Even so, Francis was still furious as he roared, “Don’t call me Dad. I don’t have a son as reckless and impetuous as you!”

On the other hand, Belinda was distressed.

“He’s not a child anymore. You shouldn’t hit him. Can’t you just use your words instead?” Belinda chided as she came forward to help Oliver up.

That only made the flames of Francis’ fury spread to her. “It’s your fault for being so benevolent and soft-hearted that this rebellious boy behaves as if he’s above the law. Look at what he’s done!”

Francis glared at Oliver. He was heaving with rage.

Oliver had never seen his father this furious before. He was somewhat terrified.
