Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 606

Chapter 606
Tessa couldn’t bear to reject him as she saw his eyes that were filled with eagerness. “Okay, I’ll sleep with you tonight.”
After she spoke, she was worried that Nicholas would disagree and planned to appease this man calmly. However, she noticed that he didn’t look like he had any objections.
Puzzled, she peered at him and wondered, Since when did this man become so easy-going?
Naturally, Nicholas sensed her puzzled stare, but he didn’t plan to explain anything.
That night, Tessa accompanied Gregory to sleep.
The tightly closed door opened softly in the middle of the night, and the light from the hallway poured in.
Tessa was a light sleeper, so she woke up immediately upon hearing just a little noise, and saw a tall, familiar figure standing next to the bed.
She instinctively peered at Gregory before sitting up and asking in a hushed voice, “Why are you here?”
“I’m here to take you back,” Nicholas said as his eyes drifted to Gregory’s sleeping form.
Unfortunately, Gregory was soundly asleep, and there was even a smile on the edges of his lips, utterly unaware that Tessa was about to be taken away by someone else.
On the way back to the room, she circled her arms around his neck and giggled. “I’m afraid Greg will be mad at you again when he wakes up tomorrow morning.”
“It’s alright. I’ll just coax him afterward. Besides, I didn’t agree to let you sleep with him.”
He spoke confidently, and it suddenly dawned on Tessa that he didn’t argue with Gregory earlier because he had a contingency plan if Gregory were to pull something like that earlier.
Then, they returned to the bedroom and spent the night in each other’s company.
The following day, despite feeling sore all over, Tessa still got out of bed with Nicholas.
When Gregory saw his dad and Tessa appearing together, he was hopping mad, as expected.
“You’re a meanie, Daddy! You took Miss Tessa away while I was asleep!” He exclaimed in anger as he glared at his father angrily. He was so aggrieved that he was close to tears.
Unaffected, Nicholas answered calmly, “Did I agree to let Miss Tessa sleep with you?”
Gregory thought about it, and it seemed like the answer was no. All of a sudden, he felt the anger pent up in his chest had no outlet.
Tessa was amused when she obs
mused when she observed the father-son duo arguing. In the end, she held Gregory in her arms to coax him.
After breakfast, she sent both of them to the airport a little while later. Before boarding, Nicholas kissed her forehead and reminded ber, “No matter what happens, don’t forget to give me a call, and don’t try to deal with everything yourself. It will make me upset.”
Meanwhile, in the bedroom of a private villa in the suburbs, Jacob was having breakfast with Havlev when a butler dressed in a tux came in after knocking on the door.
“Sir. Charlie is here.”
“Tell him to come here straight away,” Jacob instructed without even looking at him.
Charlie was his close aide whom he had sent to keep an eye on Tessa, and no matter what information he had, he felt that Havley should know about it, too.
Soon, a tall and burly foreign man knocked and came in. “Hello, Boss, Miss Stone,” he greeted politely
Stoically, Jacob glanced at him and asked, “What’s happening with Tessa Reinhart?”
“This morning, Nicholas Sawyer left Vienna together with his assistant. Only Tessa Reinhart and a few servants are left in the villa now. Should we act?” Charlie reported, telling him the information from his surveillance.
However, before Jacob could pass his order, Hayley hissed through gritted teeth, “Tonight, get that slut back here! I want her to live a life worse than death itself!”
Charlie didn’t acknowledge it but glanced at Jacob instead. Naturally, Hayley noticed this and knew that it was unrealistic of her to give orders directly to Jacob’s men when she was unrelated to him now.
“You said that you’ll help me to deal with them.” So, she swiveled her head to Jacob abruptly as she stared at him fixedly.
Reruming her gaze, Jacob didn’t deny her statement. “I did promise you that I’ll help you to deal with them, but not now. The most important thing now is your injury. As for that Reinhart woman, we have all the time in the world to take care of her once you’re healed. Don’t you wish to do this yourself?”
