Always Been Yours

Chapter 325

At the same time, Tessa really wanted to return as well, but when

she recalled her situation, she suppressed the impulse in her heart.

“Greg, I still can’t come back yet, but I promise you that I’ll visit you

right away when I can,” she said, looking at him apologetically.

–

Even though he was disappointed, Greg said sensibly, “It’s okay, Miss

Tessa. You can come and visit me when you’re finished.”

As she saw how sensible Gregory was, Tessa felt her heart

wrenching slightly despite her relief. However, she quickly accepted

it because this short period of separation was for the sake of a better

future.

After hanging up the call reluctantly, she let out a huge breath.

Although her life was very fulfilling now, she didn’t know when she

would be able to meet Nicholas and Gregory in person again.

On the other end, Nicholas sent Gregory to play by himself

before he read Kieran’s text, but he didn’t consider the fact that his

family wanted to match him up with Hayley seriously. In this life,

besides Tessa, he had no interest in other women at all!

The next morning at Dynasty Gardens, Stefania walked into

the living room dressed in a white, lacey dress. When she saw

Gregory playing with a Rubik’s cube on the couch, a warm smile

broke out on her aloof face. “Greg, I’m here to visit you.”

“Grandma, what brought you here?” Surprised, he tossed aside his

Rubik’s cube and jumped off the couch before trotting to her.

She crouched down, picked him up into her arms, and chuckled.

“That’s because I’m missing my adorable grandson,” she said,

pecking him affectionately on his soft cheeks.

In her arms, Gregory giggled, and Nicholas caught sight of this

heart-warming scene when he came downstairs. His emotionless

face turned a little softer, and he asked in surprise, “Mom, why are

you here?”

Instead of answering him, she placed Gregory down and

instructed,

“Andrew, bring Greg for his breakfast.”

In reply, Andrew nodded and led Gregory into the dining

room. A small knot formed between Nicholas’ brows as he could

tell that Stefania had something to say to him by deliberately

drawing Gregory away.

“Just tell me directly what you have to

say, Mom.”

said, sitting on the couch and gesturing at him to take a seat

across from her.

However, Nicholas was motionless, and his expression turned a

little more grim from her words.

Not seeing the unhappy look on his face, she continued, “Both of us think

that she’s an amazing girl, and she was very considerate when you

didn’t show up last night. She’s a rare gem and a good, sensible girl.

So we think she’s very suitable for you.”

“Mom, did you forget about Roselle Gingham?” Nicholas snorted.

“Back then, you thought that she was a good girl as well, but look what

she did in the end. Did you forget all of that?”

The muscles on Stefania’s face stiffened, and she cleared her throat

as though trying to hide the awkwardness on her face.

“Roselle Gingham was an

accident.”

“Mom, no matter if she was an accident or not, I won’t accept anyone

that Greg doesn’t accept,” he said and left without even having

breakfast, not giving Stefania the chance to say anything else.

On the couch, Stefania sighed in exasperation; in her

opinion, this was only an excuse he was using to turn her down by

saying that he would only accept someone whom Gregory liked.

Just then, a tiny head popped out from behind the couch. As

Gregory was worried, he had slipped back into the living room and

was eavesdropping from behind the sofa.

When he saw his grandmother sighing, he quickly ran to her.

“Grandma, I don’t need a mommy. All I need is Grandma and

Daddy. It’s great like this now,

” he said, throwing himself at

Stefania’s knees, acting spoiled.

Truthfully, he had made a promise with Nicholas not to

reveal Tessa’s existence, so he was cooperating from all

aspects, but Stefania knew nothing about this.

She silently sighed again and placed Gregory on her lap

as she said gently, “Greg, I just wish for one more person to love

you.”
