Always Been Yours

Chapter 35

Hearing this. Tessa felt her heart constrict with distress. Nicholas stood on the side and his heart was moved as well. Al the moment, Gregory’s tearful eyes were full of longing, which made people ache for him and with the desire of giving him everything

Nicholas couldn’t say no, so he simply looked at Tessa and asked softly, “Miss Reinhart, if you don’t mind the trouble, will you stay here occasionally and accompany Greg?”

She was surprised that he would actually allow her to stay. Seeing Gregory’s face full of expectations, she couldn’t bear to refuse the boy, so she immediately nodded in agreement. The sadness on Gregory’s face instantly dissipated and his eyes brightened with joy.

Seeing that he was finally happy, she had visibly relaxed a lot.

Looking at this, Nicholas felt helpless, but his face was still serious. “Since the circumstance calls for it. I can agree to your request, but only for this time. You are not allowed to push your luck in the future.”

Gregory nodded quickly. “Okay, I won’t! I will listen to you obediently in the future!” Then, he asked Tessa, “Miss Pretty Lady, you will sleep in the room next to mine, okay?”

Tessa smiled gracefully. “As long as your daddy has no opinion, I’m fine with that.”

He grinned from ear to ear and commented, “Don’t worry, Miss Pretty Lady. Daddy won’t have an opinion. Absolutely not!” As long as I am here, Daddy will follow what I say!

Then, Nicholas’ gaze softened as he asked, “Can you properly have your meal now?”

“Yes.” Gregory immediately gulped his food in a well-behaved manner. When they were about to finish eating, a voice suddenly came in from outside. “My dearest Greg, I’m here to see you!”

He looked over and was overjoyed. “Grandma!”

After placing his bowl down, he ran over quickly and threw himself into Stefania’s arms. “Why are you here, Grandma?”

Stefania carried him with a doting smile. “Of course I came to see you; have you eaten yet?”

“I’ve eaten. I’m full now,” Gregory answered obediently and just after he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Yana and Roselle behind Stefania from the corner of his eye. The mother and daughter actually came!

When he saw this, the little boy suddenly stopped smiling and frowned, as if he did not welcome them. However, he still maintained a polite look on his face and greeted, “Hello, Miss Gingham. Hello, Mrs. Gingham.”

Roselle maintained a smile on her face, but her eyes held a sharp glare. When she entered moments ago, she saw the three of them sitting at the dining table talking and laughing like a family. That harmonious scene made her feel uncomfortable, but she didn’t dare to show it and could only hold back as a result.

Nicholas was slightly unhappy when he saw that so many people had suddenly arrived at the villa. After all, he was a private person and preferred serenity. However, he hid it well, but his tone was a little flat as he asked, “Mom, why didn’t you let me know before you came?”

“I came to see my grandson, so why should I let you know?” Stefania responded crudely. At the same time, she nodded to Tessa. “Miss Reinhart.”

Tessa got up and greeted, “Mrs. Sawyer.”

Then, she also nodded to Yana and Roselle. When they saw that, they felt indescribable disgust, but had to wear fake smiles. As Stefania’s attention was entirely on her precious grandson, she didn’t realize the duo’s reaction. “How was your violin class, Greg?”

When Gregory heard this, he said happily, “I learned a tune today. Do you want to listen to it, Grandma?”

A surprised Stefania responded, “Really? Play it.”

“Okay.” Gregory immediately went to get the violin and after striking a pose, he began to play the tune that he had just learned in the morning.

After the tune was over, she was elated and repeatedly praised while holding him, “Greg, you’re really good! You already learned a tune in just one morning. I like it a lot.”

Gregory’s little face was bright after hearing the praises, but then he turned toward Tessa. “Grandma, this is all taught by Miss Pretty Lady. She’s amazing!”

As soon as these words came out, the few people looked at Tessa with mixed feelings.
