Always Been Yours

Chapter 1511

CHAPTER 1511 YOU’RE NOT YOUNG ANYMORE

Since Edward claimed that there was nothing wrong with Mona, then there must be another reason.

With that thought in mind, Tessa suddenly had a mind-blowing idea and glanced at Edward with a teasing expression. "Could it be that you've fallen for Mona?"

However, she quickly realized that her conjecture did not make sense.

Mona was her friend, who barely had any contact with Edward. In fact, the one and only encounter between them was when Mona had last gotten drunk.

Don't tell me...

"Edward, tell me honestly. Did something happen when you drove Mona home that night?" Tessa looked at Edward with a probing gaze that was also filled with curiosity.

Her question instantly made him uncomfortable.

Just as Edward was struggling to answer the question, they arrived at the new house. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject. "Young Madam, we've arrived."

After saying that, he hastily unbuckled his safety belt and got out of the car. Then, he opened the car door for her.

Tessa got out of the car and deliberately glanced at Edward. She could sense his entire body stiffen

when she looked over at him.

It was obvious that something had happened that night, but he was not willing to tell her.

Therefore, she stopped pursuing the matter. Nevertheless, she couldn't help adding a few words as Mona's best friend. "My best friend is a good girl. I hope she can be happy. If you have an interest in her, you should act quickly. She is very popular overseas."

After saying that, she gave him a mischievous wink.

She would be delighted if Mona and Edward got together. After all, she had some understanding of Edward's character. He was an extremely reliable, responsive, and capable person.

Although Edward was nothing more than Nicholas' assistant, his personal value and social status were not low. That was because he was very good at managing money. He had several valuable assets and businesses across the country, and his annual income was upwards of hundreds of thousands. In addition, he also had his salary and the investments he often made with Nicholas. His total net worth would be several million at the very least.

Knowing that his employer had misunderstood him, Edward quickly tried to explain. "We don't have that kind of relationship between us."

She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed by his answer. "Alright. Let me know when you have good news for me one day."

After saying that, she turned around and entered the new house.

He couldn't help feeling very frustrated by the situation but thinking about what happened that night gave him an even bigger headache.

…

The days that followed were peaceful and uneventful.

As the wedding date drew closer, Timothy finally returned to his home country after his graduation.

On the day of his return, Tessa personally prepared a feast to welcome him home.

Sabrina came too. She helped Tessa in the kitchen and learned some recipes at the same time.

When it was time for dinner, Stefania and Tobias arrived. They even went out of their way to ask about his studies now that he was back.

Timothy chose to tell them only about his pleasant experiences abroad.

After listening to Timothy's stories, Stefania sighed in amazement. "You're certainly making your sister proud. Not only did you take over the family's business at such a young age, but you're also about to build a family. Your sister will have nothing to worry about in the future."

"Honestly, you're really amazing. I was just fooling around all the time when I was your age." Even Kieran looked at Timothy with admiration.

As soon as the words left Kieran's mouth, he was criticized by Stefania. "I can't believe you have the nerve to say that! Look at Timothy! Then, look at yourself! I honestly doubt whether you're my biological

son. Your brother is such a talented and excellent man. How is it that you're so unreliable? You're already in your thirties. Your career is barely passable, but you don't have a family or a wife, much less any children!"

Hearing that, everybody else eagerly turned to look at Kieran as though they were watching an interesting show.

Although similar situations had been happening frequently over the last two years, they had not gotten tired of watching Kieran being forced into marriage through various methods.

Naturally, Kieran noticed their twisted humor. He deliberately clutched at his chest in an exaggerated manner and pretended to be hurt. "Nicholas, Tessa, are you just going to watch me get nagged by Mom? Don't you have any love for your brother? Timothy, you too! Help me out here!"

Unfortunately, every one of them ignored his pleas.

Gregory suddenly interjected with words that added salt to his wounds. "Uncle Kieran, you're not young anymore. You should quickly find a wife to marry. Otherwise, you'll be all alone in the future. Won't it suck to see us leading happy lives with our families when you're so lonely?"
