Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218 

Nicholas thought back to the time when Tessa resigned from her position. She mehe not return on her own initiative as things stood, but she might be willing to return if Gregory took the initiative to ask her. When it came down to it, the right to decide was in her hands.

Hence, he said, “You can video call her. If she agrees, I’ll send you there.”

“Okay!” Gregory nodded repeatedly in delight. He had been worried that he might annoy Tessa if he kept disturbing her, so he had not contacted her recently. “I miss Miss Tessa. I’m sure she misses me too.”

Tessa was at home talking to Timothy when she received the video call notification. After hiding for so many days, she suddenly felt her heart pounding a little faster at the sight of Nicholas’ name. She was reluctant to answer the video call.

Her reaction puzzled Timothy. “What’s wrong, Tess? Why aren’t you answering?”

Not wanting her brother to overthink about this matter, she gritted her teeth and accepted the invitation to the video call.

Gregory’s face instantly appeared on the screen of her phone. As soon as he saw her, he greeted her sweetly. “Good afternoon, Miss Tessa! Have you eaten? Did you miss me?”

She did not answer his questions. Instead, she asked faintly, “What’s up?”

He was so elated to see her at this moment that he failed to notice the change in her attitude. He happily exclaimed, “I missed you, Miss Tessa. That’s why I asked Daddy to video call you. Are you free later? I want to play with you, Miss Tessa.”

“I’m not free.” She lowered her eyes to conceal her emotions and gave an indifferent answer.

He was taken aback by her words. Although he seemed slightly disappointed, he still looked at her hopefully. “I see. What about tomorrow? Or, the day after tomorrow? I’m okay with any time as long as you’re free, Miss Tessa.”

“I’ll be busy in the near future. I have something to do, so I’ll hang up if there’s nothing else.” Her expression was cold.

Reading between the lines, he understood the meaning behind her wordshil

widened his eyes in disbelief. “Miss Tessa… is something wrong?”

Her reply was frosty. “No.”
