Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 13

Seeing Nicholas’ message, Edward thought for a while, then decided to only send part of the information. He would discuss the rest with Kieran, and they would investigate further for confirmation before doing anything else.

…

Meanwhile, Nicholas received information on Tessa. From what he saw, Tessa’s birth and experiences were typical, and he couldn’t find anything out of the blue.

After graduating from college, Tessa frequently followed the orchestra on their tours. There was once when she chanced upon Gregory, but the two didn’t seem to have any interactions.

After that, Gregory was the one who specifically asked for her to perform at the birthday party, clinging to her and refusing to let go.

Nicholas’ brows furrowed in contemplation because he couldn’t understand what was going on. While he was deep in thought, his son crept quietly onto the scene. “Daddy, can I discuss something with you?”

He stared at Nicholas with his bright eyes, an expectant look on his face.

Nicholas paused his train of thought and ruffled Gregory’s hair, nodding at the child. “Go on.”

Gregory was hesitant as he asked tentatively, “Daddy, can I… sleep over at the pretty lady’s house?”

Nicholas didn’t even think before he declined. “No!”

This child is getting bolder by the day. He hasn’t even known the lady for long, but now he’s asking to sleep over at her place?

“I knew you wouldn’t agree to it!”

Greg humphed and lowered his head dejectedly. He even had a pitiful look on his face.

Nicholas didn’t want to see his son sad, so he gathered enough patience to ask, “Greg, can you tell Daddy why you like the pretty lady so much?”

After all, Gregory had gotten to know Tessa only recently, so he was being a little too chummy.

In the next second, however, Greg said something shocking.

He said in full earnestness, “I don’t know either. I just feel that she smells like Mommy. I want her to be my mommy!”

What did you just say?!

The identity of Gregory’s mother was unknown to both of them, and even Gregory had never seen his mother since birth.

Nicholas merely heard from Remus that this person would never exist in their life. At that time, Nicholas was in a hurry to return to the special forces, so he couldn’t care less.
