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.

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.”
“Yesterday, your father and I met Hayley and her parents,” Stefania 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.
1 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.”

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.”
