Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 363

Chapter 363 Holiday Ends

After they had breakfast, they disembarked the ship. While they were on their way back, Tessa looked at Gregory, who was playing with Timothy. She was reminded of what happened back on the ship, and she huddled closer to Nicholas. “How did you cheer him up earlier?”

Nicholas glanced at her, and he smiled. “I told him it might be possible for you to stay forever if you get pregnant with my baby.”

Tessa looked horrified. He actually lied to his son? And who said I’m going to have his baby?

The car drove along the road and eventually came to Vienna’s airport. The tearful goodbye came at the gates, and Tessa didn’t want to say goodbye.

Gregory was crying and hiccuping. “I don’t want to go, Miss Tessa. I don’t want to leave you.”

“Neither do I.” She teared up as well. “But listen to me. This separation is only for a better reunion. Once we have time, I’ll ask your father to bring you over, alright?”

“That’s not a good idea.” He puckered his lips, sulking.

Tessa smiled and continued to coax him. “You’re a good boy, right? I know you are.”

Gregory had no choice but to nod, and he rubbed against Tessa’s chest. He sniffled, saying, “I’ll be going then. Do always think about me. I’ll always think about you too.”

It was time for them to leave, and she watched them walk through the gates. Even after they were gone, Tessa still stood around for a long time. She felt empty after they left.

When she left the airport, Tessa took a deep breath and decided to do something for the day, or her mood would turn really sour. She called her teacher and canceled her leave, then she went home and took the violin—named ‘Nirvana’—that her brother gave her before going to the orchestra.

Tessa knocked on the door of the practice room and walked in. Hathaway looked at her, smiling lovingly. “You’re finally back.”

“Sorry for taking a few days’ leave, Miss Hathaway.” She smiled apologetically.

“Don’t be. Your family came to see you, so of course you would need to spend some time with them.”
