Always Been Yours

Chapter 290

After this goodbye today, I wonder how long it will be until I see him again…”

Now that she was alone in the airport, Tessa finished with all the procedures and sat in the boarding hall quietly in a daze.

She would soon be leaving this city which she loved and hated at the same time but still lived here for more than two decades. She would also be leaving her considerate brother, the mess with the Sawyer Family and all the chaos here. Goodbye, Brentwood.

A few hours later, the plane landed.

After retrieving her luggage, Tessa went out of the airport and gave Timothy a call. “Tim, I’ve landed safely.”

“That’s great. I was just wondering why you haven’t given me a call yet,” he said.

Hearing the delight in his voice, she teased him on purpose. “Is it a good thing that I left? Are you happy that you’re no longer in my evil claws?”

Actually, she wanted to find out whether Remus had realized his promise to her.

“How did you know that I’m happy, Tess? It’s not because you left, though. I can’t bear to see you leave at all,” Timothy answered with a chuckle on the other end.

“What is it, then?” she asked again.

“Good news. The university just called me earlier, saying that I’m innocent after their discussion and canceled my demerit because of that. Mr. Tompkins has been asked to return to work and Leo is back

in our company.” A little excited, he added, “All the bad luck from before has disappeared. It’s such a happy day.”

Upon hearing all that, Tessa was also relieved. Old Master Sawyer has really fulfilled his promise, and everything is back on track.

She noted with a smile, “All these are good news, indeed. I wish all the best for us where we will have a safe and smooth-sailing life.”

“Safe and smooth-sailing life, Tess.”

After hanging up, a huge weight was lifted off Tessa’s shoulders, but an inexplicable sense of melancholy washed over her and gushed straight into her heart.

A bitter smile tinged the edges of her lips. Maybe she shouldn’t have contacted

Gregory and Nicholas since the beginning. Then, all these things could have been avoided.

It was not their fault, though. When Remus warned her the first time, she should have known it better and left straight away instead of dragging the situation on and off,

Fortunately, it was a right decision for her to leave now; everything had returned to its original situation, and all the unrelated people wouldn’t be unnecessarily involved in the mess.

Leaving the airport, Tessa found and checked into a hotel with a few stars and a nice environment in the city. After washing up simply, she lay down to rest on the bed to adjust to the time difference.

By the time she woke up, the sky was already dark outside.

With a click, she turned on the lights next to the bed, and the dark room lit up instantlyAll content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Then, her cell phone on the side started to ring and it was a video call from Timothy. When the call was connected, his handsome features appeared on the screen.

“Tess, did you already have your dinner?”

“I just woke up, and I plan to unpack a little before calling for room service,” she answered with a faint smile, sounding a little hoarse after waking up moments ago. “What about you? Did you have your meal yet? Are you in the office or back home already?”

“I ate in the office together with Henry, and I’m home now,” he answered truthfully and urged her to get out of bed to unpack and order room service.

A little while after Tessa had placed her order, she plopped onto the couch and continued to chat with Timothy.

“Tess, what are your plans afterward?” he asked.

Giving it a thought, she then responded, “I’ll find a place to settle down first, then I’ll report myself at the school, and if it’s possible, I would like to look for another orchestra band.”

Timothy nodded. “Don’t forget to send me the address once you get it.”

“Sure,” Tessa agreed with a smile, but her leisure expression became serious as something else popped up in her mind. “Tim, if someone asks about my whereabouts, don’t tell them no matter what. Don’t mention where I went or which country I’m in…”
