Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 488

Chapter 488
Initially, Hathaway apologized to Tessa for this incident, as it was her daughter who criticized her over and over again.
Not to mention that she wanted Tessa to let Kathleen go, which really made her a little uneasy.
“I owe you a favor for this.”
Hathaway looked at Tessa with a guilty expression on her face.
Tessa shook her head and said clearly, “You don’t have to. In fact, I have another request.”
“What is?”
“I want Kathleen to apologize to me in person. If she agrees to do it, I can treat it like nothing,” Tessa said of her condition.
Hathaway nodded. “Actually, even if you didn’t say it, I would have wanted Kathleen to apologize to you too.”

After all, he felt that Kathleen wouldn’t necessarily agree to apologize.
Hathaway didn’t know this, so after negotiating with Tessa, she went straight to the police station
. At the police station, when Kathleen saw Hathaway, she was immediately moved.
“Mommy, have you come to get me out of this hell?”
“I already discussed it with Tessa. As long as you personally apologize to Tessa, she can drop the matter and drop the charges immediately.”
Hathaway mentioned Tessa’s conditions, but she didn’t expect it to elicit strong resistance from Kathleen.
“Did that bitch actually ask me to apologize? What right does she have to do that?!”
She unrepentantly yelled, “I will not apologize!
As expected, Hathaway bristled at her daughter’s response.
“You did something wrong, shouldn’t you apologize?” She scolded Kathleen angrily, disappointment evident in her eyes.
What she found incomprehensible was how Kathleen became like this.
Kathleen wasn’t like this before.
Kathleen didn’t see the disappointment in Lathaway’s eyes as she yelled from the custody room, “I didn’t do anything wrong! It’s all Tessa’s fault! If it wasn’t for her turning a blind eye to someone in trouble, I wouldn’t have wanted to teach her a lesson. It’s all her fault!”
Hathaway hadn’t expected Kathleen to blame Tessa at this point. So, she was extremely disappointed in her daughter,
“Kathleen, if you think you’re right, then stay here. Let me tell you. If Tessa sues you over this matter, she will ruin your life.”
As soon as she said that, Kathleen, who was initially angry, immediately felt as if she was being strangled and she couldn’t say a word.
Hathaway grew impatient and left without looking back.
“Stay there and think it over!”
Tessa didn’t know what had happened at the police station.
After dinner, she played with Gregory for a while, then coaxed him to sleep before going to Nicholas’s study.
When Nicholas saw her come in, he scooped her up in his arms and asked, “Is Greg asleep?”
She nodded slightly and found a comfortable place to snuggle in her arms, but she wasn’t exactly in a good mood.
He sensed something was wrong and looked down to study her. “What’s happening? Are you in a bad mood?”
“I’m not in a bad mood. I just have a dilemma.”
Then she sat up and looked into his eyes. “Miss Hathaway spoke to me this morning and said that the orchestra is close to performing, so she was hoping that she would let Kathleen go.”
He was not surprised because he had already expected this to happen.
“So, do you agree?”
She met his dark eyes and suddenly lowered her head, feeling a little guilty. “I agreed.”
He raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, but he wasn’t surprised.
However, he just wanted to know her reasons.
He explained: “After all, Miss Hathaway is nice to me, so I can’t just sit by and watch her get into trouble.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Nicholas, then said with a puzzled feeling, “But am I being too nice to let Kathleen off so easily?”
After listening to Tessa’s comments, she gently tucked the hair that was falling on Tessa’s cheeks behind her ears.
He fixed his gaze on Tessa as she parted her thin lips slightly, and her voice sounded like a cello, low and magnetic.
“Why do you think that?”
