Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527

Although Tessa disliked Kathleen, she could not deny the fact that Kathleen was Miss Hathaway's daughter.

Fine, I'll just think of it as visiting Miss Hathaway. Tessa finally decided, after a brief hesitation, so she asked Andrew to help her to arrange for her transport.

"Miss Tessa, where are you going? I want to tag along too.” Gregory ran over to Tessa when he found out that she was heading out.

However, Tessa rejected his request this time as she squatted down and explained, "I'm going to meet Miss Hathaway. It will be inconvenient to bring you along.”

"Why? I'll be a good boy, and I won't disturb you," he pleaded at her with a pout.

Unfortunately, Tessa had made up her mind this time. After all, she had no idea what Kathleen would do when they met.

After some time, Tessa, who had arrived at the hotel, knocked on Hathaway's door.

When Hathaway opened the door, she was shocked to see her. "Tessa, what brings you here?”

Tessa smiled and explained, "Kathleen is released from detention today, so I came to visit her. Is she inside?” She glanced into the room as she spoke.

A mixture of complex emotions appeared on Hathaway's face when she heard that. "Kathleen has returned to her room. Thank you for coming all the way here. Please come in.”

Tessa nodded and entered the room, closing the door behind her. After she took a seat, she asked with concern, "How is she?”

"She's still the same,” Hathaway sighed in disappointment.

Tessa could guess that Kathleen and Hathaway might have had some disagreement before she came when she saw Hathaway's dejected expression.

She suddenly didn't know what to say; the air felt heavy at that instant.

Fortunately, Hathaway soon managed to compose herself.

As she looked at the silent Tessa, she forced a smile on her face as she comforted, "Don't worry. Kathleen will come to her senses sooner or later.”

Although Tessa didn't buy it in the slightest, she still nodded so as to not cause her teacher to feel unnecessary worries.

Hathaway continued. "Since you are here, I have something to tell you."

"What’s the matter?”

"You may have to return to Vienna on your own this time. I'm worried that Kathleen may do something to you, so I think that it'd be better if both of you don't meet for the time being. I'll try to talk some sense into her first."

"It’s fine. I'm sorry that you have to deal with this." Tessa was unfazed by it. Instead, she was touched by Hathaway's concern for her.

After that, the two ladies talked about their subsequent arrangements before Tessa made a move to excuse herself.

That night, Tessa played with Gregory in the living room. One could hear a bubbly, childish voice accompanied by a girl's delicate voice from the living room from time to time.

When Nicholas returned home, he was greeted by the heartwarming scene, which instantly put a warm glow on his cold, chiselled expression.

Just then, Gregory, who noticed Nicholas standing in the foyer, ran up to him excitedly.

"Daddy.” He threw himself at Nicholas' leg and raised his little head; his dark pupils, which seemed to contain stars, were sparkling.
