Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274
When Hayley saw that Gregory acquiesced to her staying, she was delighted. Yes! I’m one step closer to success!
“Greg, I have bought your favorite pastries for you. You should take a break first. Come over and try these pastries.” She placed the pastries in front of Gregory, one by one.
However, he simply glanced at those pastries and did not say anything. Then, he continued to pick up his violin as all he thought about was Tessa.
I have promised Miss Tessa that the next time we meet, I’ll master this piece and play it for her. I have no time to eat those pastries now. Moreover, the pastries made by Miss Tessa are a hundred times better than store-bought pastries!
Hayley’s facial expression stiffened when she saw that Gregory was ignoring her. However, she did not say anything to reprimand him. Instead, she just said softly, “I’ll put the pastry here. What do you want to drink? I’ll make it for you.”
Silence. Gregory still ignored her.
“Then, I’ll squeeze a glass of orange juice for you,” Hayley informed after a moment’s silence.
In the next few days, she came to the manor whenever Nicholas was away and left before he returned. She did not disturb the father and son bonding time between him and Gregory at all.
Also, Nicholas was not aware that Hayley had visited his residence on a daily basis.
Over at the Gingham Residence, Roselle looked at the private detective in front of her. Gritting her teeth, she clarified, “What did you say? Hayley, that b*tch, is entering and exiting Dynasty Gardens every day?”
Nicholas doesn’t allow me to get close to Gregory and Dynasty Gardens. I’ve always suspected that he had something going on with other women. I have been secretly following Tessa for several days but found nothing. So, I began to monitor the situation in Dynasty Gardens. As expected…
She gritted her teeth. “Hayley, that b*tch! She thinks she’s worthy of Nicholas?”
How should I deal with Hayley now, though? Suddenly, Roselle remembered the consequence that her mom faced after poisoning Gregory. She could not help but smile. I’m afraid Hayley will never be able to get close to that child ever again. It would be
best if the child died.
Roselle had been lurking near Dynasty Gardens for a few days. Finally, she spotted a servant with her eyes. So, she stepped forward and asked, “You must be working for the Sawyers, right?”
Upon hearing that, the servant nodded timidly. “You are?”
“It doesn’t matter who I am, but I’m here to give you money. Let me ask you: what is the relationship between Young Master Gregory and Hayley Stone?” Roselle asked.
“Miss Stone treats Young Master Gregory well. However, he keeps ignoring her for some reason,” the servant said.
Roselle nodded. “In that case, here’s 20,000. Do me a favor: help me hurt the child and frame Hayley for it.”
“Isn’t that harming people? N-No, I can’t.” The servant kept shaking her head in fear.
However, Roselle continued to tempt the servant with money. “After this is done, I still have another 100,000 to give you.”
After thinking about it, the servant eventually took the money.
Cha…
When the servant returned to Dynasty Gardens, she happened to see Hayley and Gregory talking at the stairways. Thus, she took the fruit from the other servants. After taking the fruits upstairs, the servant then pushed Hayley hard.
“Ah! Greg!”
With that hard push, Hayley lost control as she fell forward and her body directly landed on Gregory. At once, he rolled down the stairs from the second floor to the first floor and red blood started dripping from Gregory’s head within seconds.
Upon hearing the noise, Andrew hurriedly came out to check. The servants were in chaos, and he immediately shouted, “Quick! Call 911! Hurry!”
“Quick! Call Master Nicholas!”
• “Young master… Young master. Andrew whispered to Gregory.
The situation was chaotic at the manor.
At this moment, Nicholas had just picked Tessa up as he was planning to take her to
visit Gregory. He had promised Gregory that he would let them meet today.
When he received the call from home, Nicholas’ facial expression took a sudden turn. “Edward, go to the hospital! Quick!”
“What’s the matter?” Tessa asked as she was a little puzzled.
“Greg is injured,” Nicholas answered in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Edward stepped on the accelerator without saying a word. He turned the car around and drove in the direction of the hospital. By the time they arrived at the hospital, Gregory was already in the operating room.
“How is his condition?” Nicholas asked.
Andrew felt a little guilty. “Young master has just been sent into the operation room. He shed a lot of blood.”
