Always Been Yours Chapter 731

At this time. Kylie, the housekeeper, suddenly came to the door and knocked on it. “Miss Tessa. Miss Mona is here to see you.”

Tessa was a little surprised and asked Kylie to bring Mona up. After a while, Mona followed Kylie into the room. Coming in, she saw Tessa‘s weak appearance and asked out of concern, “Tess, why is your face so pale? Have you taken medicine?”

“Miss Tessa has been refusing to take medicine since she came back last night. Miss Mona, please help me persuade her,” Kylie stood by and pleaded.

Mona frowned and looked at Tessa with disapproval. “You are so ill; how can you not take medicine?”

“I..”

As soon as Tessa opened her mouth, she swallowed the rest of the words that came to her mouth.

She wanted to share the news of her pregnancy with Nicholas first. Thinking about it, she made up a random excuse. “My stomach has not been feeling well for the past two days. I will have nausea after taking medicine, so I don‘t want to take it.”

After listening to Tessa‘s words, Mona sighed. She felt that Tessa was in terrible shape.

Thinking of this, she thought Tessa was alone in Vienna and had no relatives by her side, so she offered and said, “I‘ll stay with you tonight, so I can take care of you if your condition worsens at night.”

“Okay, sorry to trouble you.”

Tessa didn‘t reject Mona‘s kindness and was very moved.

The next day, at Dynasty Gardens, Gregory and Tessa talked on the phone. When Gregory knew that she was sick, he was worried.

“Miss Tessa, you must take your medicine obediently so that you will recover,” the little boy held the phone and told Tessa earnestly.

Tessa nodded with a smile. “I know.”

The two spoke for a while, then Gregory urged Tessa to rest. After hanging up the phone, the little boy was still worried about her.

“Daddy, I‘m so worried about Miss Tessa. Let‘s go see Miss Tessa, okay?”

Looking at his son‘s expectant gaze, Nicholas was also concerned about Tessa and wanted to agree. However, he really couldn‘t walk away from work. “Not yet. Wait for me to finish my work in two days.”

Hearing this, Gregory was very disappointed.

As for what happened, Wanda didn‘t know. She had decided to stay and start her own business. Of course, the biggest purpose was to charm Nicholas.

After her grandfather left, she started looking for a building for her new company.

When Nicholas heard about this, he took the initiative to arrange for a secretary to help Wanda, hoping that Wanda would not come to him too often. This secretary was Bailey Jules, who had taken Wanda around the company before.

Bailey‘s work efficiency was very high, and soon he helped Wanda find a good company building. But because of the floorplan layout, Wanda didn‘t like it very much, so Bailey took the initiative to contact the renovation company at once. Soon, the building entered the renovation stage. Wanda thought that it was thanks to Nicholas‘ help that these matters could be resolved smoothly, so she went to Sawyer Group on purpose one day.

In the president‘s office, Edward knocked on the door and went in to report, “President, Miss Muller is here.”

“What is she here for?”

Even though Nicholas said so, he still asked Edward to bring her up.

After a while, Wanda followed Edward into the office in her stilettos. She looked at the handsome man sitting at the desk, her red lips curling into a beautiful arc. “Hello, Nicholas.”

Nicholas nodded slightly and asked politely but distantly, “Why are you here today?”

“My company has entered the renovation stage. I thought that if it weren‘t for your help, the progress would not be so fast, so I want to invite you to a meal to express my thanks.”

Wanda smiled sweetly and looked at Nicholas.

However, Nicholas was uninterested and simply said, “There‘s no need. It wasn‘t much effort.”

Seeing the man‘s indifferent and withdrawn look, Wanda felt her eyes flash with disappointment.

She could actually sense that the man was deliberately keeping a distance from her. Hence, she decided not to push it too much.

Always Been Yours Chapter 732

After all, Wanda knew that some things couldn‘t be rushed. “If that‘s the case, we‘ll have a meal next time when you‘re free.”

Nicholas nodded. “Is there anything else?”

Knowing that he was hoping for her to leave, Wanda wisely took the initiative to see herself out. After walking out of the Sawyer Group, she looked back at the office where Nicholas was, feeling a little unhappy. However, she didn‘t give up. In the afternoon, she bought a gift and went to Sawyer Residence to visit Remus.

When Remus learned that Wanda was there to visit, he came out of the study and went downstairs happily.

“Why did you come here today, Wanda?”

“Old Master Sawyer.”

Seeing that Remus had come down, Wanda quickly got up from the couch and greeted him politely

Seeing such a dignified and polite girl, Remus felt even happier about the girl that he already liked.

“Why are you so uptight? Take a seat and make yourself at home.”

He greeted Wanda with a kind smile and sat down, then asked with concern, “Have you found a building for your company?”

He actually knew what Wanda was doing these days.

“Yes. It‘s being renovated now.”

Wanda gave a general overview of the company‘s situation.

Remus nodded again and again. “If you need anything, just go to Nicholas for help.”

“Well, Nicholas has already helped me a lot.”

Wanda did not deliberately reveal that Nicholas ignored her.

On the contrary, she said a lot of good things about Nicholas in front of Remus. “If it weren‘t for Nicholas‘ help this time, I might not be able to make decisions about the company so quickly. When I have time, I have to thank Nicholas too. I‘ve troubled you all too much recently.

Well, your grandfather entrusted you to us, so it‘s only right for Nicholas and the others to take care of you.”

Even though Remus said so, he liked Wanda more and more and felt that this girl was very sensible.

Halfway through, while Wanda was going to the bathroom, Remus asked lan to inform Nicholas to come to Sawyer Residence for dinner at night.

When Wanda came back, she happened to hear lan calling Nicholas.

“Master Nicholas, Old Master Sawyer asked you to come to Sawyer Residence for dinner tonight.”

Although she didn‘t know what Nicholas answered, after hearing what lan said, she knew that Nicholas had agreed.

Afterward, she pretended not to know anything and went back to the living room to chat with Remus.

That night, Nicholas arrived at Sawyer Residence. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Wanda sitting on the couch. Frowning slightly, he asked, “Why are you here?”

Wanda looked at the grim man who walked in from the outside, her eyes glinting with pleasure.

“I heard that Old Master Sawyer likes to drink tea, so I brought some over as a gift. I have to go to the company to supervise work later, but I didn‘t expect to see you here.”

Nicholas nodded casually. In fact, he already knew in his heart that his grandfather‘s intention to call him over was not just for dinner. However, he didn‘t care because no matter what Remus wanted to do, it would only be a waste of time. He would not and could not compromise on this.

During the meal, looking at Nicholas, who hardly ever talked to Wanda, Remus was a little annoyed.

With a stern face, he said to Nicholas, “Now Wanda is starting her own business in the country by herself, and she has no relatives to help her out. You should try to help her as much as possible.”

Nicholas didn‘t speak as he was very aware of what Remus was playing at.

Remus didn‘t care but continued to advise, “When Wanda‘s company launches successfully, you should help more with the business, and don‘t let malicious people bully Wanda.”

Hearing Remus‘ words, Wanda looked at Nicholas with anticipation.

Unfortunately, the man looked cold and didn‘t seem to care to express his intention.

In order not to offend him, Wanda took the initiative to reject Remus‘ proposal.

“Old Master Sawyer, there‘s no need. I would like to try things out myself first when starting a business. How can I rely on others for everything?”

Seeing Wanda showing her hard–working and adaptable side, Remus felt even more satisfied.

Always Been Yours Chapter 733

Remus feli that only such a career–driven girl could help Nicholas in his career and be a good assistant

A musician like Tessa? Remus felt that apart from appreciation, she was uscless, and she couldn‘t share the burden with Nicholas.

However, Tessa didn‘t know about any of this. After two days of recuperating at home, her health finally improved. On the third day, she returned to the orchestra, intending to continue training.

When the members of the orchestra saw her, they gathered around with concern.

“Tess, are you feeling better?”

“I don‘t think you look well. Don‘t be stubborn. Your health is the most important thing.”

“Yeah, don‘t worry about training.”

Everyone was worried about Tessa‘s health. In fact, they all heard of what Kathleen did, and they felt very sympathetic toward what happened to Tessa.

Seeing everyone‘s worried expressions, Tessa felt warm in her heart.

“I‘m fine. Thank you for your concern.”

After talking to everyone, she went to the practice room with the violin case on her back. At this time, Kathleen also came in from outside.

Looking at the band members gathered together, she immediately frowned in displeasure. “What are you doing around here? Do you have nothing to do? Have you completely memorized the scores?”

The band members looked at Kathleen, who suddenly appeared and became angry, and their gazes darkened.

“Let‘s go and practice.”

They didn‘t even say hello to Kathleen and left.

Kathleen didn‘t care either and entered the practice room on her own. Later, she also learned the news of Tessa‘s return from the members of the orchestra, and her eyes were dark.

For the next two days, the band seemed to resume their hustle and bustle as before.

Only Kathleen realized that something was different.

In the past two days, she found that many members of the orchestra looked at her differently. They appeared disgusted with her and defensive against her. In fact, it was not surprising that other members had such changes.

Compared with Kathleen, who was arrogant and unreasonable, they preferred Tessa, who was

talented and had a good personality. Thinking of Tessa‘s successive bad encounters, they also worried that if they offended Kathleen one day, they would also be the victims of those schemes.

However, Tessa didn‘t pay much attention to any of it. After resuming training, she intended to focus on her performance next month. As for the child in her belly, she wanted to wait until next month‘s performance when Nicholas visited before revealing the news.

Nevertheless, the future was full of surprises. Soon, Tessa began to have side effects from the pregnancy. In the beginning, she could endure it. But as time passed, her side effects became a little more serious.

One day, she and Mona were eating in the cafeteria, but just after drinking a bit of soup, her stomach was churning.

“Blech!” She covered her mouth and hurriedly rushed to the trash can.

Mona followed behind worriedly and asked, “Tess, are you alright?”

“I‘m fine.” Tessa shook her head weakly.

However, Mona didn‘t believe it. “You‘ve been like this for a few days; how could you be fine?”

At this time, other members also noticed Tessa‘s strangeness and came over.

“Tess, why did you throw up again? Why don‘t you go to the hospital for a checkup?”

“Go and seek medical advice. It‘s not normal to vomit like this.”

“Yeah, why don‘t I take you to the hospital?”

Listening to everyone‘s concern for her, Tessa felt their warmth. “I‘m really fine. It‘s an old chronic issue. I‘ll be fine in a few days.”

She thanked the kind–hearted members of the group, but she was actually very clear about her own situation and knew that this was a normal situation and that she did not need to go to the hospital.

However, just after she finished speaking, she couldn‘t help retching again, and her face turned pale as she vomited.

That night, Nicholas also saw from the video that Tessa‘s face was ashen, and he was distraught to see her condition.

“Why is your complexion so bad?”

“I‘m fine. It‘s just that I‘m a little sick and have no appetite.” Tessa‘s eyes flickered.

Nicholas frowned and asked, “Have you seen a doctor since you feel unwell?”

Always Been Yours Chapter 734

“No...”

“Why don‘t you see a doctor?”

“I don‘t want to.”

After Tessa finished speaking, she didn‘t dare to look directly at Nicholas because she had a guilty conscience. Nicholas didn‘t notice that, as all his attention was devoted to the fact that she was not feeling well.

“Then have you sought out medicine?”

Hearing the man‘s relentless questioning, Tessa couldn‘t resist, so she gritted her teeth and said, “I can‘t take medicine.”

“Why can‘t you take medicine?”

Nicholas‘ dark eyes were locked tightly on Tessa, his brows furrowed hard. Tessa bit her lower lip lightly, not knowing how to answer. Looking at the girl who had been silent for a long time, Nicholas couldn‘t help but ask again, “What‘s the matter?”

“Anyway... I just can‘t take medicine!”

With this, Tessa hung up in fear though she didn‘t know what she was afraid of. After all, she knew very well that even if Nicholas knew about the child, he would agree. However, she was conflicted.

She had achieved nothing in life, so could she really give birth to a child? Also, she didn‘t know what to make of the entire situation. Thinking of this, Tessa hated her indecision more and more. It was also because of these that she couldn‘t face Nicholas.

However, Nicholas didn‘t know this. Instead, he looked at his phone, his expression darkening.

Knowing that this was something Tessa had never done before, he was very worried that something had happened to her.

Thinking of this, he immediately called the housekeeper, Kylie, over there in Vienna. “Go upstairs to check on Tessa‘s situation but don‘t mention me to her.”

Although Kylie felt confused, she complied. After all, she was about to go up and ask Tessa if she wanted some supper. Soon, she came to the bedroom and knocked on the door. “Miss Tessa.”

“Come in.” Tessa‘s soft voice came from the door.

Nicholas was very distressed on the other end of the phone. Then the housekeeper pushed the door and went in. Seeing her, Tessa restrained her emotions and asked, “What‘s the matter?”

“I saw that you didn‘t eat much during dinner, so I wanted to ask if you would like a late–night snack?”

“No, I‘m not hungry.”

“Okay, if you‘re hungry in the middle of the night, call me anytime.”

Tessa nodded and motioned for Kylie to leave. After she went out and closed the door, she picked up the phone again and put it to his ear, saying, “Master Nicholas, she seems to be fine.”

Nicholas grunted, but the worry in his heart did not diminish.

“I want to know about Tessa‘s recent health condition. Is there anything wrong?”

“Miss Tessa has been in poor health recently.” Kylie did not dare to keep it a secret and answered truthfully.

Nicholas‘ face sank, and he said sternly, “Since Tessa is not well, why didn‘t you report to me?”

“It‘s Miss Tessa who forbids me to tell you.” She looked a little aggrieved.

When Nicholas heard that he stopped admonishing and continued to ask, “Is there anything else strange about Tessa?”

“Yes, during these days, Miss Tessa has no appetite for anything, and sometimes she vomits. I advised her to see a doctor, but she refused to go or take any medicine. I don‘t know what happened to her.”

After listening to the housekeeper‘s words, Nicholas was anxious, and he too, felt that Tessa had something to hide from him, so he was in a horrible mood.

At this moment, Edward knocked on the door and walked in. “President, Miss Muller is here to look for you again.”

“I‘m busy!” Nicholas‘ tone was irritated, and then he ordered, “Go and book a ticket to Vienna for me immediately.”

Edward was a little surprised. Why did the president suddenly want to go to Vienna? Moreover, his face is so ugly! Could it be that the president and Miss Tessa quarreled?

He let his imagination ran wild, but he did not dare to resist Nicholas and quickly asked, “Is Gregory going?”

“Just me. Go!”

With that, Nicholas had exhausted his patience, and his eyes were as sharp as blades shooting at Edward.

Always Been Yours Chapter 735

Edward was frightened, so he hurriedly went to book a flight. He didn‘t remember Wanda at all throughout the entire time and only recalled when the front desk called to ask him again.

“Mr. Jackson, Miss Muller would like to know if the president is free.”

“Tell Miss Muller that the president is in a meeting and has no time to meet guests.”

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

When Wanda knew that Nicholas didn‘t have time to see her, she didn‘t bother him anymore despite feeling disappointed.

2

That afternoon, Nicholas flew directly to Vienna.

On the other side, Tessa didn‘t know that Nicholas had arrived.

She tossed and turned in bed but couldn‘t sleep, feeling that her previous approach regarding the pregnancy was too immature. Even if she didn‘t understand what was going on, she shouldn‘t have treated Nicholas like that. She barely slept all night because of this incident, and she became , even more haggard.

Sebastian looked at her worriedly. “Miss Tessa, you‘re looking unwell. You should rest at home today.”

“No, I‘m fine.”

Tessa shook her head and refused. When she recalled how she had hung up on Nicholas last night, she planned to call and apologize.

However, after she dialed his phone number, she was told that the phone had been turned off.

Tessa proceeded to put down the phone, feeling very depressed.

Nicholas must be angry, but it doesn‘t matter. I‘ll wait for his anger to subside, then contact him again and apologize.

Tessa comforted herself before she put on some light makeup to cover her pale complexion. Then, she finally went to the orchestra.

Even so, she was in a bad state. While practicing, she made several silly mistakes.

Mona looked at her friend and was a little worried.

“Tess, are you alright?”

“I‘m fine, so don‘t worry.”

Tessa smiled and shook her head.

Mona was still concerned as she said, “I don‘t think you‘re fine. If you‘re not feeling well, let‘s go

back to rest.”

Hearing this. Tessa felt warm in her heart. “Don‘t worry, I won‘t force myself. If I‘m really ill. I‘ll ask for leave and get some rest.”

Since Mona could see Tessa‘s persistence, she didn‘t insist any further. Instead, she took good care of Tessa when the latter was resting.

After training that night, Tessa said goodbye to Mona and went home directly.

Sebastian said, “Miss Tessa, dinner is ready. Should I bring it to your room?”

Tessa nodded and went back to the bedroom.

After a brief shower, she began to eat. The dinner was delicious, but she still had no appetite. She had just eaten a few mouthfuls when her stomach began to churn again.

“Ugh...” She covered her lips and rushed all the way into the bathroom while Sebastian looked on worriedly outside the door.

Just before he came forward, he saw Nicholas coming up from downstairs.

“You‘re here, Master Nicholas.”

He looked at Nicholas in surprise.

The latter nodded and looked around the room, but he didn‘t see Tessa. “Where‘s Tessa?”

“Miss Tessa is in the bathroom–”

Before Sebastian finished speaking, Nicholas walked directly inside.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked over, he saw Tessa lying against the sink as she retched.

When Tessa was vomiting, she suddenly heard Nicholas‘ voice from behind. “What‘s wrong?”

“Why are you here?”

She was very startled as she looked at Nicholas, who had suddenly appeared at the door, and took a few steps back guiltily.

Nicholas saw her dodging gaze and furrowed his brows. Soon, his expression became uglier;

Tessa‘s state at this time was not just the average kind of bad. Her complexion was ghastly and blue, and her lips were bloodless.

“What exactly is going on?”

Nicholas stared at Tessa with his dark eyes, questioning her as he approached the woman. Meanwhile, Tessa looked at the serious expression that he never had before and felt guilty. She wanted to escape, but there was absolutely no way out since there was a sink behind her. In the end, she could only hold onto it anxiously while she lowered her head without saying a word.

Always Been Yours Chapter 736

When Nicholas saw this, he became more certain that Tessa was hiding something from him.

His eyes sank slightly. He knew that Tessa would not tell him no matter what he asked, so he changed his strategy.

“I don‘t care what happened. You are not feeling well, so let‘s go to the hospital first.”

After he finished speaking, he strode forward and directly grabbed Tessa by the waist.

The woman was stunned for a moment before she immediately began struggling.

“I‘m not going to the hospital.”

She grabbed the bathroom door with her hands, preventing Nicholas from leaving with her in his arms.

His face sank immediately, and he said a little angrily, “Why don‘t you want to go to the hospital? Is there something wrong with your body? Do you know that you‘re making me very worried?”

When she heard the man‘s annoyed voice, Tessa felt guilty and apologetic. Her eyes turned red, and tears fell from them drop by drop.

Outside the door, Sebastian could hear that something was wrong. Thinking of Tessa‘s recent physical condition, he couldn‘t help but come in and say, “Master Nicholas, Miss Tessa has been feeling weak over the past few days. Do talk nicely to her.”

Nicholas looked at Sebastian before shifting his gaze to the pale girl in his arms, and he finally softened

“You may leave first,” he said.

Sebastian hesitated for a while, but he still nodded and exited the room.

At that point, the room fell silent except for Tessa‘s soft sobs.

Nicholas looked at the girl who was crying silently in his arms, sighed inwardly, then gently put her on the bed.

Following that, he squatted in front of the woman, raised his hand in anguish, and gently wiped away the tears on the girl‘s cheeks. “Don‘t cry, I didn‘t mean to yell at you just now. I was just too worried about you.”

However, the gentler he was, the more uncomfortable Tessa felt in her heart. She felt that she was really selfish, so she cried even harder. When he saw Tessa getting sadder, Nicholas felt powerless for a while.

He stood up, took her into his arms, then patted her on the back again and again to reassure her. “It‘s okay. No matter what happens, I‘ll be by your side.”

For some reason, this comfort had an effect, and Tessa‘s mood gradually stabilized.

Eventually, Nicholas let go of her and asked, “Now, can you tell me what happened?”

Tessa looked at the man‘s serious expression and opened her mouth.

She hesitated as she still had no idea what to say.

Instead of rushing her, Nicholas waited patiently. Finally, Tessa closed her eyes and said, “I‘m pregnant...”

I‘m pregnant...

The girl‘s words caused Nicholas to freeze in place,

He looked at Tessa in amazement, the surprise and joy evident in his eyes. “Are you pregnant?”

Tessa nodded lightly. When she saw the man‘s happy expression, she felt a little complicated.

Nicholas didn‘t realize that at first. He was immersed in utter joy after getting Tessa‘s affirmative answer, and it took a while before he realized that Tessa didn‘t look very happy.

Combined with what happened over the past two days, he had some guesses in his heart, and he couldn‘t help but suppress the joy and tentatively asked, “Is this why you‘ve been abnormal these days?”

Tessa was stunned for a while, and it seemed as though she hadn‘t expected Nicholas to ask such a question.

The man looked at the hesitating girl and thought of other possibilities. His face darkened as he asked, “Why do you feel distressed? Don‘t you want this child?”

Tessa didn‘t know how to answer. She lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip in awkwardness, not knowing what to say. Nicholas saw how she was trying to avoid the topic, and his face became even worse.

“Why aren‘t you saying anything? Is that a yes? Do you really not want this child?” His tone was a little cold.

“That‘s not it,” answered Tessa as she denied it quickly.

Nicholas looked at her and asked again, “In that case, what is it?”

Always Been Yours Chapter 737

Tessa tightly grabbed the sheets on the bed, feeling the pressure.

“It‘s not that I don‘t want our child; it‘s just that this child wasn‘t in my plan. My career is still on the rise, and I don‘t think I‘ve reached my highest potential yet. That‘s why I‘m in a mess.”

Nicholas looked at Tessa, who seemed to be releasing everything she had been thinking about. Surprisingly, he was quite calm as though he also understood Tessa‘s thoughts.

Even so, he was angry at Tessa for not telling him such big news in the first place.

He had a feeling of being distrusted, and another thought popped up in his mind.

“I have a question for you.”

“What is it?” Tessa looked up at the man.

Nicholas looked back at her with deep eyes. “Since this isn‘t part of your plan and you didn‘t want to tell me about it, were you planning to secretly abort the child?“.

“No.” Tessa immediately shook her head in denial.

Nicholas‘ eyes flickered, and he said coldly, “But that‘s how you felt just now, and you didn‘t intend to keep it either, so you chose to hide it.”

“Nicholas, I really didn‘t mean that. Believe me.” Tessa looked at Nicholas sincerely, hoping that he could believe in her.

The man‘s heart softened for a moment, but thinking of what Tessa had done during this time, he suppressed it. He took a deep breath, turned his back against Tessa, then said solemnly with some anger, “I don‘t care what you think. Since you don‘t want to have this child, don‘t give birth to it. Go and abort the child.”

After speaking, he slammed the door and walked away.

Meanwhile, Tessa looked in the direction where Nicholas disappeared and felt extremely miserable.

“I really didn‘t mean that. It just felt rather sudden, and I didn‘t come to my senses for a time,” she muttered to herself while sitting on the bed, her tears falling like pearls breaking off a string.

Moreover, she herself was reluctant to give up the child. No matter what, this was her and Nicholas‘ first child.

After Nicholas left, he went directly to his study.

He sat at the desk with a cold and frightening face, and the air around him seemed to have frozen.

Speaking of which, this was the first time they had quarreled since they got together.

He got angry when he thought that if he hadn‘t come, Tessa wouldn‘t have told him about the pregnancy Worse. she might‘ve even secretly aborted his child. The more he thought about it. the madder he became. He was so infuriated that he couldn‘t stop himself from taking a cigarette out from the drawer and lighting it up.

In the past, he only smoked to relieve himself when he was in a very bad mood.

Even so, he was still livid.

Under the light, the man smoked cigarette after cigarette, and the room became cloudy after a while.

Meanwhile, Tessa remained sitting on the bed.

At this moment, her emotions had calmed down, and she knew that her previous actions were indeed easy for Nicholas to misunderstand.

She began to think about how she should explain to Nicholas next.

Sebastian also saw the quarrel between the two and felt a little anxious in his heart.

He looked at the closed doors on both sides, thought for a while, then walked to the study and knocked on the door. “Master Nicholas, can I come in?”

“Come in.”

Nicholas‘ cold voice sounded.

Sebastian pushed the door open and coughed twice due to the pungent smell of smoke inside.

He hurried to the window and opened it.

A gust of wind blew in, and the smell of smoke in the study dissipated significantly

Nicholas‘ thin lips parted lightly, and his voice was a little hoarse as he said, “What are you doing here?”

Sebastian thought of his purpose. Then, he immediately stood beside him respectfully and persuaded, “Master Nicholas, Miss Tessa has not been feeling well these days, and she hasn‘t eaten anything for a whole day. If this continues, her body will definitely collapse, so please don‘t be angry with Miss Tessa anymore.”

Hearing this, Tessa‘s haggard face flashed in Nicholas‘ mind, and he immediately felt distressed.

“Go to the kitchen now and have someone make some light food for Tessa.”

Always Been Yours Chapter 738

“Of course.”

The butler smiled and nodded before he left directly to the kitchen.

He asked the chef to cook some light food, then took it to Tessa‘s room and knocked on the bedroom door.

When she heard someone knocking, Tessa thought it was Nicholas and hurried to open the door.

As a result, when she saw Sebastian standing outside, her bright eyes dimmed instantly.

“Oh, it‘s you. What‘s the matter?”

Sebastian looked at Miss Tessa‘s disappointed expression. With a faint smile on his lips, he then explained, “Master Nicholas knows that you haven‘t eaten much today, so he specifically asked me to bring you some food.”

As he spoke, he lifted the tray in his hands, then walked into the room and put it on the bedside table.

Seeing this, Tessa knew that Nicholas still cared about her, and her initially miserable mood improved a lot.

“What about him?” she asked.

“Master Nicholas is in the study.”

Sebastian deliberately hesitated, then added nervously, “I think Master Nicholas seems to be in a bad mood. He is smoking a lot of cigarettes. He doesn‘t usually smoke much, you know.”

Tessa felt a little complicated upon hearing this.

Sebastian observed Tessa‘s expression and felt that he had done everything he could, so he quietly retreated.

Tessa didn‘t know that Sebastian was fretting over the two of them.

She ate the food, but it tasted bland in her mouth, and her mind was chaotic once again.

For a while, the room became quiet.

After a long time, her phone ringing broke the silence with a call from Gregory.

Tessa hesitated while holding the phone, but she still answered the video call nonetheless.

Once the video call was connected, Gregory‘s anxious voice sounded from the other end of the  line.

“Miss Tessa, I heard that you are sick. Are you feeling better?”

Tessa could tell that the little boy was worried about her through the phone, so her originally depressed mood lightened a lot.

As she listened to the little boy‘s soft, concerned voice and remembered his cute face, she suddenly figured out the problem in an instant.

In fact, what‘s wrong with having a cute child like Gregory?

At this moment, Tessa completely thought it through, and her mood became brighter.

She felt that she must have been blinded before to think that the arrival of her child would be inappropriate.

“Greg. you really are my lucky star.”

She looked at Gregory gratefully, then kissed the little boy through the phone.

Although Gregory felt that Tessa‘s mood changed so quickly, it did not prevent him from kissing her back.

The two laughed for a while, then Gregory urged Tessa to rest..

After all, there was a time difference between the two countries.

Before hanging up the phone, Gregory reminded again, “Miss Tessa, you must take good care of yourself.”

“Don‘t worry. I will,” said Tessa while assuring Gregory, and her heart was warm because of the little boy‘s concern.

After hanging up the phone, Tessa had some appetite after figuring the whole thing out and ate all the food brought by Sebastian.

She then took the empty bowl downstairs. Thinking of what Sebastian had said before, she took the initiative to go to the study.

Meanwhile, Sebastian had been keeping an eye on the situation between the two.

At this moment, he saw Miss Tessa taking the initiative to find Nicholas, so he had a relieved expression on his face.

It seems that Master Nicholas and Miss Tessa will be able to reconcile tonight.

On the other hand, Tessa didn‘t know that her every move was being watched by Sebastian.

She quietly came to the study and found that the door was not closed properly, so she pushed the door and walked in.

After entering, she smelled a strong odor of smoke, and her brows could not help but furrow.

She searched for Nicholas‘ figure in the room and found that the man had his back against the door, and he was standing by the window while looking at the night sky outside.

Under the moonlight, the man‘s back was tall and sturdy, but it was also a bit lonely and cold.

Tessa‘s heart throbbed slightly when she looked at him.

Nicholas naturally noticed that someone had come in, but he didn‘t turn around since he assumed it was Sebastian.

“I‘m fine, you don‘t need to worry about me. Has Tessa eaten anything?”

Always Been Yours Chapter 739

Hearing that the man still cared for her even when he was angry, Tessa was both moved and guilty.

She bit her lower lip lightly and walked toward the man step by step.

When Nicholas heard the footsteps behind him, he felt something was wrong.

Just as he was about to turn around, Tessa hugged his waist from behind and pressed her forehead against his back. When Nicholas felt the softness coming from behind, his whole body froze.

At this time, Tessa‘s soft voice came to his ear.

“Don‘t be angry, okay, Nicholas? I‘ll give birth to the child.”

Nicholas was shocked upon hearing this. He turned around suddenly, looking at Tessa in surprise. “Aren‘t you afraid that it‘ll affect your career?”

“I‘m sure it‘ll be fine.”

Tessa looked at Nicholas with a smile, then continued in a very firm tone, “My dreams can be realized in the future, but the child is a life, so how can I take it away? Besides, I can‘t bear it. The reason why I felt confused before was that I didn‘t know how to welcome him.”

After Nicholas listened to Tessa‘s words, his eyes became a little complicated.

He thought that Tessa was unwilling; he didn‘t expect her to make such a big compromise in the end, and he didn‘t know what to say for a while.

In fact, he wasn‘t going to insist that she have this child, but he just didn‘t like Tessa carrying all the burden by herself. Now that she had compromised, he was very moved by it, but he didn‘t want her to give up her dreams for him.

“I don‘t want to use the child to tie you to my side, and I don‘t want you to make such a big sacrifice. On the contrary, I want you to do what you want to do happily.”

When he said this, he paused and said in a distressed voice, “Also, pregnancy is a difficult task, and will require you to devote a lot of energy.”

Hearing that he was concerned for her, Tessa was deeply moved and felt indescribable sweetness.

“Trust me, I can do it.”

As she spoke, she stepped forward and hugged Nicholas again, pressing her face against the man‘s firm chest.

His powerful heartbeat came to her ear, causing her to smile a little.

Nicholas held Tessa with both hands, feeling very touched. He rubbed his chin against Tessa s black hair, and his voice was indescribably gentle as he said, “It‘s not that I don‘t trust you. I‘m just

womed about you.”

“Don‘t you know that one will become tough when they become a mother? I think this is quite truc. Every mother will become very strong for her children. This way, I can have you by my side too.”

Tessa raised her head and looked at Nicholas firmly, whereas the latter lowered his head and stared at her, feeling moved again.

“You fool.”

He hugged Tessa tightly, the tenderness on his face seeming to swallow her whole.

Under the moonlight, the image of the two embracing each other was warm and beautiful.

After a while, Tessa looked at the handsome man in front of her again, then said softly, “Let‘s not quarrel in the future, okay?”

“It‘s my fault. I shouldn‘t have been angry at you.“.

Nicholas stared at Tessa and took the initiative to apologize.

Tessa shook her head. “I also did something wrong; I shouldn‘t have hidden it from you and cause such a misunderstanding.”

Hearing this, Nicholas thought of what happened this time and said with a serious expression, “Don‘t hide anything from me in the future, or I will be very worried.”

“I know. I won‘t.”

Tessa looked back at the man gently.

Nicholas met her starry eyes, felt moved in his heart, and lowered his head slowly.

As the hot and humid breath came close to her face, Tessa looked at the handsome man who was getting closer and couldn‘t help closing her eyes.

Their lips pressed together, and Nicholas kissed her very gently.

After a while, Tessa felt weak all over and could only stand while being supported by Nicholas.

After a long time, the two parted breathlessly.

Tessa calmed down and glared at Nicholas slightly. “You smell of smoke all over, and you deliberately passed it on to me.”

Hearing this, Nicholas remembered that the room was full of smoke and hurriedly left with the woman.

Always Been Yours Chapter 740

“Sorry, I didn‘t think about it.”

When she heard the man‘s solemn apology, Tessa couldn‘t help laughing.

She followed Nicholas closely. Thinking of the dangers of smoking, she deliberately looked serious and demanded, “No matter what, you mustn‘t smoke in the future.”

Nicholas naturally agreed. His deep and magnetic voice was indescribably indulgent.

“Okay, I‘ll listen to you.”

Downstairs, Sebastian watched as the two walked out of the study while holding hands, and he retreated with a gratified smile on his face.

After returning to the room, Tessa pushed Nicholas into the bathroom while urging, “You smell of smoke. Hurry up and go take a shower.”

“Shower with me.” Nicholas pulled Tessa without letting go.

Of course, he didn‘t really want Tessa to accompany him. He just wanted to tease her, but Tessa was unaware of that. She thought about it for a few seconds before hesitating. “I‘ll accompany you if you promise not to mess around anymore.”

Nicholas laughed and fondly rubbed her loose, black hair. “How can I let you work so hard? Go to bed. Rest and wait for me.”

After speaking, he turned around and went into the bathroom.

Tessa stood on the spot with red cheeks, feeling that Nicholas‘ words were rather suggestive.

After a simple shower, the two lay on the bed. They hugged each other and did nothing else since they couldn‘t make love.

Under the yellow bedside lamp, Tessa rested her head on Nicholas‘ firm chest, and it was quiet and warm at that moment. When she thought about their future and the attitude of Nicholas elders, she couldn‘t help but worry.

“What are you going to tell your family about the child?” She looked at Nicholas worriedly.

After all, the elders of his family had always disagreed about them being together.

Nicholas lowered his head slightly, and he could see the worry in her eyes. He soothed her by saying, “Don‘t worry, I will handle this matter.”

“In that case, what do I need to do?”

case Tessa didn‘t want Nicholas to bear all the pressure alone and wanted to help shoulder it together.

When he saw her serious expression, Nicholas curved his lips slightly and gently placed a kiss on her forehead.

“You just need to obediently do whatever you like and leave the rest to me.”

He stared at Tessa affectionately.

Tessa looked back, and her heart was as sweet as anything. Even so, she did not forget to remind him, “If you need me to do something, you must tell me.”

Nicholas nodded.

Tessa happily rubbed the man‘s chest, then thought of Gregory.

“By the way, Greg still doesn‘t know about my pregnancy. If he knows, will he accept...”

She was a little worried, afraid that Gregory would not be able to accept the news.

Nicholas understood what Tessa meant, but since he couldn‘t be sure about Gregory, he didn‘t give a clear answer.

He thought about it and said, “Since it‘s yours, perhaps Greg would be fine with it. After all, he likes you so much.”

“Although that is the case, what if he doesn‘t like the baby?”

Tessa felt very uneasy.

“Don‘t think too much about it.” Nicholas raised his chin and rubbed Tessa‘s forehead, comforting her. He said, “Even if he resists the baby, I believe that with your love for him, it will slowly be resolved.”

Tessa agreed, then wrapped her arms around Nicholas‘ waist and promised, “Even after we have our child, I‘d still treat Greg as my own.”

Nicholas looked down at her in his arms and couldn‘t help laughing.

You fool! Greg is your own child too.

Unfortunately, Tessa couldn‘t hear what he said in his heart. She hugged Nicholas and felt very at ease.

Soon, she leaned on Nicholas unconsciously and fell asleep in a daze.

The man listened to the steady breathing coming from his arms, and when he lowered his head slightly, he could see her sweet, sleeping face. At once, his expression became tender.

The next morning, Tessa woke up to find that Nicholas was no longer around. She didn‘t mind it and got up to take a shower.
