Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1451

Chapter 1451 You’re Not to Blame

"No need. I'm going to wait here."

There was no way that Nicholas would even bother changing because all he cared about right now was Tessa. He wasn't going to let her out of his sight for something so low on his priority list.

Edward didn't press the matter and merely waited with him in the hallway, which became as silent as the grave.

None of them noticed how long it had been until the sounds of scurrying footsteps echoed in the hallway—it was Tobias and Stefania who had brought Gregory and Gordon along. They were a mess as they rushed over to them.

"Nicholas, I heard that Tessa is injured!"

"What's with the blood on you? What the hell happened?"

The elders asked simultaneously, and Gregory wailed with bloodshot eyes, "Daddy, what happened to Mommy?"

Nicholas was well aware that he couldn't sugar-coat the truth from them in such circumstances, so he told them everything that he knew at this point. "Zachary and the others colluded with someone to kidnap Tessa. They have set us up, and Tessa was pushed off the cliff by the kidnappers."

The information he provided horrified and infuriated Tobias and Stefania.

"How could they do that?!" Stefania hissed angrily, her teeth clenching tightly.

Tears welled up in Gregory's eyes, and he choked, "Is Mommy badly injured? Will she leave us?"

"No, Mommy will be fine," Nicholas said, assuring him solemnly.

However, Stefania was far from convinced by his words. How could a person be fine after falling off a cliff?! Still, when she noticed how sad Gregory looked, she couldn't bring herself to voice her doubts.

Nonetheless, her dubious thoughts were written all over her face, so Nicholas naturally knew what she was truly thinking. So, he added, "When she rolled off the cliff, she tried her best to stop herself from falling too fast in order to save herself. So, she suffered a lot of superficial injuries but not any fractures."

Stefania only breathed out a silent sigh of relief after hearing that explanation.

Then, Nicholas' phone started ringing, and it was none other than Timothy ringing.
