Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 361

Chapter 361 Secret

Nicholas frowned. “Cover me for a bit. I’ll be coming back in two days.” And he hung up.

Tessa noticed the dark look on his face, and she was worried. “Did something happen back home?”

“No. Just talking about work with Kieran.” Nicholas omitted the most important part, but he did tell her when he would be going back.

Tessa heaved a sigh of relief, but she also felt sad. The last two days had been a really happy time for her. She didn’t want time to go by so quickly, nor did she want Nicholas and the others to leave so soon.

Gregory felt really sad hearing that they would be going home in two days. “Daddy, can I stay with Miss Tessa?”

“No,” Nicholas refused without any hesitation. If Gregory stayed back, the Sawyers would know about Tessa’s existence, and that would disturb her peaceful life. She only got that after working hard for it. I don’t want to ruin it.

Gregory knew nothing about that, and he was disappointed and angry that his request was denied. But he couldn’t do anything about it, for he knew his father would never change his decision. “You meanie!”

Gregory was upset, but he recovered quickly with Tessa’s help.

As he would be going home the next day, he spent all his time with Tessa. After a lot of playtime and dinner later, Gregory looked exhausted.

Tessa wanted to get him to sleep, but Gregory wouldn’t leave her. “I’m not tired. I want to spend more time with you, Miss Tessa.”

Tessa couldn’t get him to give up, so she let him come along. They didn’t go anywhere though. Nicholas took them to the café for some coffee. Tessa and Gregory took one side of the table, and the lady played with the boy. The men took the other side and talked about the software.
