Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 826

Chapter 826 The Untangled Knot

The nun looked at Tessa with leniency while offering her heartening words. “I’m not sure what has happened to you, but the people who care for you will be worried if you keep this up. You’re making it difficult for yourself and others. It’s not worth it.”

Right. It’s not my fault. Why should I punish myself because of someone else’s mistake?

Tessa’s eyes lit up when she figured it out after the epiphany struck upon her. Just as she was going to express her gratitude for untangling the knot in her heart, the nun was nowhere to be found whereas Nicholas was watching her intensely nearby.

Given the circumstances, how could she not comprehend the situation by now? Nicholas had asked a favor of the nun for sure.

In that fleeting second, every moment spent in the last two days conjured in her head. She was deeply touched to know that Nicholas had been trying his best to untie the knot in her so that she could cheer up.

He’s being considerate by paying attention to every single detail just for me. I shouldn’t make him worried.

With hindsight, Tessa scurried her way to him and hugged his waist. In a choked voice, she suggested, “Let’s go home. I miss Gregory.”

“Okay. Let’s head home.” He wrapped his arm around her waist and they left the cathedral to head toward the airport.

Since the flight took more than ten hours, they arrived home on the second day. As soon as Gregory saw Tessa, he scampered his way to her and gave her a hug. He was being a sweet boy today.

It was because Nicholas had phoned him beforehand to inform him to behave because Tessa was in a bad mood and hence the sight of the caring boy hugging his mother sweetly. “Welcome home, Mommy.”

His dazzling smile warmed her heart and lightened her mood ever so easily.

That night, Timothy found out about the incident that had transpired in Vienna after which he spared some time to pay Tessa a visit. Timothy and Gregory acted in sync and were being playful to make her happy.

The pall that had been plaguing her mind was now replaced by happiness and hence the frequent smiling face, which put Nicholas’ mind at ease.
