Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 816

Chapter 816 A Mother’s Sadness

“No worries.” Scott looked at Tessa and inquired, “Why didn’t you retaliate right away? It doesn’t appear to be the way you handle things.”

“I…” She paused, unsure how to respond.

While it was true that her character was not to be bullied by others, she did feel some remorse for Hathaway.

Scott could see her emotions through her eyes and made some educated guesses.

“Don’t overthink things. Kathleen’s death is unrelated to you.”

“Tessa, even Mr. Brooks said so. Please don’t take it so seriously.” Mona agreed with Scott and stated, “Those people are just jealous that Miss Hathaway values you, hence the green eyes. Ignore their snide remarks.”

“Please don’t think that way. You can’t blame yourself with Kathleen’s death. It’s her who causes the most harm to others. Had she not targeted and harmed you, there wouldn’t be as many consequences, so it’s all her fault,” Mona stated solemnly.

Although saying such things about a deceased person was inappropriate, it was the truth!
