Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 219

Chapter 219

She… even offered to resign. Why did she do that? Am I missing something in the middle?
When Nicholas fell into contemplation and did not answer, large tears fell from Gregory’s eyes. “Daddy, please let me meet Miss Tessa. I really want to meet her. I’m sure she’s not serious about leaving me. Daddy…”
Nicholas’ expression sank slightly when he saw Gregory wailing so sorrowfully. He is too dependent on Tessa. This is not a good thing.
He solemnly said, “Stop crying. You have to respect her. It doesn’t matter whether she is busy or not. Even if she is free, you cannot force yourself on her if she doesn’t want to meet you.”
Gregory froze on the spot. Daddy said… Miss Tessa doesn’t want to meet me.
It was one thing to speculate on his own. However, it felt as though those words became the truth when it came out of his father’s mouth. Miss Tessa doesn’t want me anymore. I’ve been abandoned by Miss Tessa! No! It can’t be! It can’t be real!
He stood there for a while before he looked at Nicholas’ lowered eyes with reddened eyes and sniffled. “I understand.”
After saying that, he turned around and left. He only paused in his tracks for a moment when he passed by the music room. Nevertheless, he did not enter the music room and quickly returned to his own room instead.
Nicholas heaved a sigh of relief to see Gregory walking by the violin room without entering
Greg has matured a lot recently. He knows that he can’t compel others to do his bidding. He didn’t complain even when I tried to separate him and Tessa. All he said was that he doesn’t want her to hate him. He has always been very obedient. Even now, the reality of the situation has probably dawned on him.
Although Nicholas felt sorry for the sensible child, he stopped worrying that the child would kick up a fuss at home. Thus, he left and headed to the company.
Gregory was standing at the window when he heard the sound of Nicholas’ car leaving. He stared motionlessly at the car until it vanished into the distance. Immediately after that, he swiftly packed his stuff and sneaked out of his room when Andrew and the servants were not paying attention. Avoiding the surveillance
cameras in the house, he ran to the garden behind the villa.
His father might have sealed the route he last took to escape, but he had already found a new route. It was the perfect route to escape from home without crawling through a hole in the wall or going through the main gates.
He once again succeeded at escaping from the villa, but he did not show the slightest hint of joy. His head was lowered as he walked to the side of the road, stopped a taxi, and gave the driver Tessa’s address.
Although Tessa had lied that she was tired and wanted to sleep, she simply lay on the bed in a daze until Timothy left home for work. She could not fall asleep as her mind was filled with Gregory’s hurt expression. At the same time, the sound of him calling her ‘Miss Tessa’ echoed in her ears. She could sense just how sad he was. She herself was miserable too.
But, what else can I do? This is what I previously promised Stefania. I am also the one who mentioned my resignation to Nicholas and actively cut off all opportunities to interact with Greg. In that case, there’s no need for us to keep in touch anymore, right?
Nevertheless, she did not reject Gregory’s attempts to visit her afterward. She even allowed the father-and-son pair to stay overnight at her house. Therefore, she was the one who had violated her agreement in the first place.
She was the reason why things had progressed to this point. Although Stefania’s actions were overboard, it was not without reason. Besides, the status of the Sawyer Family was not something a person like her could hope to compete against. She was satisfied that she could even act as Gregory’s teacher for a short time.
Just as she was ruminating over these thoughts, she faintly heard her doorbell ringing. She opened the door only to see an aggrieved-looking Gregory standing in front of her. He shouted aggrievedly, “Miss Tessa!”
Tessa was shocked to see Gregory until she recalled her previous attitude toward him. With his personality, it was a given that he would come looking for her. Thus, she said nothing
It was just that she did not see Nicholas anywhere when she looked around. In fact, she didn’t even see anybody from the Sawyer Family. Puzzled, she brought Gregory inside and asked, “Who brought you here?”
Gregory was also brimming with questions, but he could not bring himself to ask
anything when he saw her as it seemed like she, too, was very sad
