Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 377

Chapter 377 Rebuttal

Tessa told her what she really thought without any hesitation.

Hathaway had the same sentiment. She wanted Scott to be Kathleen’s boyfriend not only because he was brilliant enough for Kathleen, but also because he could accommodate her daughter. But still, she didn’t forget why she asked that question, so she joked, “Even you think he’s boyfriend material, huh? So, you’ve been getting along with him for days now. Are you catching any feelings for him?”

The question caught her by surprise. Tessa took some time to process it, and she realized that Hathway must have misunderstood something. She was amused, but she looked at her seriously. “Miss Hathaway, I have someone I like, but he’s back home right now.” She brought up what happened before to convince Hathaway about that. “My family wasn’t the only one who showed up during my birthday. He came too. He’s a brilliant man, and I won’t fall for anyone besides him in this life.”

The smile on Tessa’s face convinced Hathaway that she wasn’t lying. She nodded sheepishly. “Please don’t take what I said to heart.”

“It’s okay. I can understand.”

“That’s great.” She heaved a sigh of relief. Then she remembered something, and she said, “Kathleen might be my daughter, but she’s been living with her father ever since the divorce, so she’s a bit spoiled. If she does anything cheeky, please don’t take it to heart.”

“I won’t.” She nodded with a smile.

Later, Tessa went home after practice and cleaned up a little, then she called Nicholas. He was in his office, and a gigantic french window stood behind him. The golden sunlight shone upon him, basking him in a divine glow.

He’s just going to talk about work, huh? She took a deep breath and held her disappointment down, then she brought up all the problems with the project. They weren’t major problems, but Hayley needed to have an excuse to talk with Nicholas. Her father’s plan aside, she wanted to show up in front of Nicholas more. She knew he didn’t like her, but she thought he would be moved by her efforts in time.

Nicholas saw through her, but since Hayley was only talking about work, he didn’t expose her little plan. After spending a little time settling all the problems she brought up, Nicholas sent her away.

Tessa held her phone, blinking curiously. She heard Hayley’s voice just now, but she didn’t suspect anything, as Nicholas had told her that the Stone Family was one of his company’s partners. She put her phone down and went to study her sheet music. This time, it was a lullaby.

The white light shone upon her, showering her in holiness. It was eleven soon enough, and Tessa was going to sleep, but for some reason, she wanted to record the lullaby she played earlier.
