Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 679

However, Janet nearly couldn’t maintain the expression on her face when she heard Gregory butting in, and a trace of anger surged within her.

As expected from an illegitimate child, this kid has no manners at all. Why does he, a child, intervene when adults are talking? I’ll definitely drill etiquette lessons into this brat the moment I marry into the Sawyer Family.

Even so, Janet managed to wrestle her face into a warm, kindly look.

“Greg, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I just want to clear up the misunderstanding with your Daddy,” she said. Then, she looked toward Nicholas as she attempted to explain again. “Nicholas, don’t be angry, alright? I-I was really worried about you at that time, that’s all.”

Nicholas remained indifferent as he listened to her explanation. Finally, he replied dispassionately, “You’re overthinking matters. Something as trivial as that isn’t worth my anger.”

However, Janet didn’t believe his words at all.

“You won’t be so cold to me now if you aren’t angry.” She gazed at Nicholas relentlessly.

At this point, Nicholas’ patience had been utterly worn out. It was as if the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped several degrees; the aura around him turned icy cold.

“This has always been my attitude toward others. You can just stay away if you can’t accept it. I’m very tired and just want to go back to rest.” After he finished saying that, he ignored Janet, carried Gregory as he walked past her, and left.

Janet was stunned for a moment. Shortly after, she hurriedly chased after them and said with a placating smile, “Nicholas, that’s not what I meant. How about this? I’ll send you guys home.”

No, thank you.” Once again, Nicholas rejected her. Furthermore, he even quickened his pace and left hurriedly.

At this moment, Nicholas also entered the dining room after washing his hands.

When she saw him, she immediately stepped forward and pulled out a chair for him by the dining table.

He couldn’t help but feel amused upon seeing her actions. He felt that Tessa regarded him as a fragile doll after his injury. Nonetheless, his heart warmed at her actions.

And just like that, the three began to enjoy their cozy dinner like a true family.

During the meal, they talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
