Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124
Kieran seemed like he was prepared for a battle.
How dared these people lay their hands on Gregory? Were they tired of living?
He was going to make sure that they wouldn’t be alive to spend the money!
In a short span of time, Kieran had arranged everything that was required.
Following that, the fleet of cars dispersed to the different locations previously agreed upon, each with a portion of the money.
Whereas for Nicholas’ group, they proceeded to get Gregory out, following the path marked by
Timothy. To avoid raising suspicion on the part of the kidnappers, they took the most covert and hidden routes.
Halfway through, Nicholas’ phone rang. He was slightly stunned when he saw the caller ID. After a while, he regained control of his feelings and answered the phone. “Mom? What’s the matter?”
“Nicholas! How dare you have the audacity to ask me what’s the matter? You should be the one telling me what is happening now! What happened to our Gregory? Why was he kidnapped?” Stefania asked
angrily.
Even though she had retired and spent most of her time in the house, the connection she had built over the years remained. Additionally, there were also many people who fawned over her in light of the Sawyer family’s growing influence.
As a result, she was informed of Gregory’s kidnapping within a short period of time.
When she first heard about it, she assumed that they were just kidding. However, as more people approached her for the same matter, she began to believe their words, which caused her to be so worried that she nearly fainted.
Nicholas knew that he couldn’t keep this matter under wraps any longer, and it was within his expectation to receive her call. Hence, he didn’t panic for long.
He, too, knew that this matter was a big blow to Stefania. He didn’t want anything to happen to her, especially when Gregory was still missing.
Thus, he comforted her, “Mom, it’s alright. We know his location now and we are going to get him out. I promise I will bring Gregory back in one piece.”
Hearing Nicholas’ seemingly calm tone, Stefania was furious.
“Gregory was kidnapped, so how do you expect me to be calm? He’s my grandson! Let me tell you, I’m
e go easily. If Gregory was hurt, no matter how slight it is, they’ll suffer! And
causing him to be kidnapped and to suffer unnecessarily. This is the one thing that Yana is right about -Gregory will suffer as long as this woman is around. Does she hate Gregroy or something? She’s really a jinx! I don’t care; when we get Gregory back, that Reinhart girl must go!”
All this fuss made Nicholas’ head hurt, and he couldn’t help but pinch the area between his brows.
Feeling slightly annoyed, he said, “Mom, calm down. We can talk about this after Gregory returns. It’s pointless to talk about it now. Throwing a tantrum wouldn’t solve the problem or save Gregory.”
Despite the fact that he did not use the speaker mode, Tessa was able to hear what Stefania said, which made her even more upset.
Her face, which was already pale, became even paler.
She wanted to defend herself and say that she was not a jinx, but she was indeed the one who brought Gregory out, and she was also the one who left him in the guest hall. Gregory had run out on his own also because she was not present…
Remembering these, she couldn’t think of anything to say to explain herself, no matter how much she wanted to.
It was all her fault.
And no matter what, she was the one to blame.
When Timothy saw Tessa feeling guilty, he felt sorry for her. He held her hands tight as if he was trying to pass on his strength to her.
“President Sawyer is right, Tessa. Stop blaming yourself and having these useless thoughts now. You are only making things worse for yourself. The most important thing now is to find Gregory. Don’t worry, the location I’ve found is correct, and President Sawyer has also made all necessary arrangements. As long as they remain at that location, it’s just a matter of time before Gregory is rescued. Believe me, will you?”
Hearing Timothy’s words of comfort, Tessa felt better and nodded. In truth, she was still filled with guilt, but she didn’t dare to express it anymore.
