Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 975

Chapter 975 Enough!

When Tessa noticed how late it was, she immediately decided to return home with Mona and Gregory in tow after bidding everyone goodbye.

Once she got home, she received a video call request from Nicholas just when she finished coaxing Gregory to sleep. ”Morning, Nicholas!” Tessa greeted happily.

Due to the time difference, it was only morning in Xerthania. He was clearly affected by Tessa’s good mood as his face tinged with a faint smile while he looked at his wife, who was smiling so sweetly in the video.

”It looks like you had a good time today.” ”Yes. It was pretty fun.” After that, Tessa smiled and recounted her experience for today.

As she neared the end, she cupped her cheeks with both hands and looked at Nicholas, saying softly, ”Although many people are accompanying me, I still miss you so much. When are you returning?”

He felt his heart almost melting into a puddle of fondness when he heard Tessa’s words.

”Soon. Give me about a week or so, and then I’ll be back with you. Unfortunately, Timothy and I are currently busy with a new project.”

”Then, I’ll wait for you. Also, take good care of yourself. Don’t you dare forget to eat the moment you start getting busy,” Tessa urged worriedly, for she knew he would always forget to maintain a proper diet and sleep schedule when he was neck-deep at work.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Susan became highly resentful of Tessa ever since she heard the news that Tessa was going to release an album.

”Why does this woman have everything going so well for her?” she hissed as she gnashed her teeth in frustration. Susan was exceedingly envious of the fact that Tessa was going to make it big, whereas she ended up being as ordinary as the others.

”No! I have to find a way to ruin that b*tch’s album release!”

Susan bit on her nail as she pondered. Within a moment, she came up with a nefarious plot to make things difficult for Tessa.

…

When Sofia Symphony ended their musical training the next noon, Susan stopped Richelle, who was about to leave, in her tracks. Then, she invited Richell to join her for a meal. ”Let’s grab lunch together.”

Richelle regarded Susan for a moment before she eventually accepted her invitation.

Hence, the two decided to have their lunch at a restaurant nearby.

During the meal, Susan planned to play her same old tricks again by saying something to trigger Richelle into scheming against Tessa.

Richelle glanced at her before saying calmly, ”Stop beating around the bush, and just say what your plan is.”

”I’m not up to anything. I just think you probably want to carry out some plans, and I may be able to help you with it,” replied Susan in a very tactical manner.

Even so, Richelle, who had suffered an unjust loss once, could still comprehend the hidden meaning behind Susan’s words.

”Help me?” she asked sarcastically while looking at Susan, ”Do you really take me for a fool?”

At once, the smile on Susan’s face froze.

Then, Richelle’s voice rang in Susan’s ears again before she could say anything.

”Susan, you’re a true hypocrite. You’re clearly the one who’s jealous of Tessa, yet you don’t have the guts to act against her yourself. So, to see your plan come to fruition, you come to instigate me in the hope that I’ll deal with Tessa for your sake. What makes you think you can still use me after you’ve fooled me once? I’ve fulfilled my obligation by not selling you out before! I don’t care what you’re up to. Just don’t take me for a fool again!”

As soon as she heard those words fall from Richelle’s lips, she knew right then that her plan had failed before it had even begun.

Still, she defended herself by saying, ”Didn’t I tell you? I don’t have any tricks up my sleeves. I just can’t stand idly by and watch you suffer while Tessa is getting all the limelight.”
