Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 855

Chapter 855 Reborn Anew

Mona had genuinely thought of Tessa as her friend, yet the others around her thought she was just putting on an act as they echoed Cindy’s statement at her.

Just as the crowd was about to get rowdy, Hathaway finally spoke up to reprimand them. “Everyone, shut up!” The group instantly fell into silence upon her words. Then, with an unfavorable gaze on Cindy, she said, “Mona is right about one thing: since you still have many shortcomings, rather than using the time to talk behind someone’s back, you should be reflecting and improving yourself instead!”

At this point, Cindy’s expression grew awful, but she reined back her emotions, as she didn’t dare to talk back at Hathaway. “I understand.” Though she had said so, her glare at Mona remained vicious as ever.

Pretending not to have noticed the glare at her, Mona continued her meal.

The others also went on with their meal without making any more remarks.

Later that evening, after Tessa was done accompanying Sofia for dinner, she asked to take an early leave with Gregory in tow. “Miss Sofia, it’s getting late. Do you mind if I leave with Greg now?” While she said that, the sleepy and tired Gregory yawned several times as he leaned against Tessa in her arms. Feeling sorry for the child, Sofia gestured her acceptance in allowing the mother and son to go home.

Just when Tessa had finished putting Gregory in bed after they got back home, she received a video call from Nicholas.

“How was today?”

“It was okay.” With a smile, Tessa shared today’s events, but briefly paused when she got to the part where she had dinner with Sofia.

Noticing that something was amiss, Nicholas asked in concern, “What’s wrong? Did something upset you?”

“I wouldn’t say so. It’s just that I ran into Hathaway when I was having dinner with Miss Sofia. I… I guess I’m upset. Although she seems to be in good health, she has lost a lot of weight.” Tessa told Nicholas her thoughts.
