Chapter 752 I Will Always Be by Your Side
“Mommy, Daddy, wait for me.” Gregory hurriedly chased after the star-crossed lovers seeing that they had gone far away.
Meanwhile, Timothy followed right behind.
After they were out of the mansion, Tessa grabbed Nicholas and asked worriedly, “Is it really okay for us to leave just like this?”
“It is.” Knowing what his beloved was worried about, he comforted her by saying, “Anything that’s in your favor will forever be okay.”
“But—” Tessa still couldn’t relax, but Nicholas stopped her before she could say anything. “That’s enough. As much as the Sawyer Family is my responsibility, it can do without me, and I don’t want you to suffer any grievances either.”
Nicholas’ words earlier in the living room popped into her head upon hearing so, and her heart couldn’t help but ache for him.
She remembered how she had thought Nicholas was an emotionless robot the first time she met him.
“I’ll stay by your side no matter what.” She held his hands firmly.
Just then, Remus roared angrily from inside the mansion, bellowing, “Nicholas, come back here this instance!”
However, the latter continued to ignore it.
Following that, Nicholas took Tessa back to the apartment.
Tessa cooked up a simple meal since they hadn’t had dinner. During the pleasant meal, the family of four said nothing about what happened in the mansion as though all of them had forgotten about the unpleasant incident.
“Here, have some more, Tess.” Timothy scooped some food for his dear sister, leading Gregory to follow suit. “Mommy, you need to eat more for the baby to get enough nutrients.”
Though Nicholas said nothing, he thoughtfully picked out the bones stuck on the fish before putting the piece of meat onto her plate.
Tessa, on the other hand, felt loved as she looked at the mountain of food on her plate.
Sometime after dinner, she took Gregory to the shower after seeing that it was getting late.
Meanwhile, Nicholas got a call from his brother, who still took the initiative to tell him what was going on in the mansion even though Nicholas left and disregarded his family.
“Nicholas, Grandpa’s still mad. You guys should just stay outside for now, and I’ll arrange for them to go back tomorrow.”
Nicholas hummed a response and said, “Please help me take care of things in the company. I probably won’t pay any attention to it for now.”
“I understand.” Kieran knew that his brother wouldn’t return unless their grandfather gave in, and he had no objections to it.
After all, Nicholas had already sacrificed a lot on his behalf. What he could do now was to fully support his brother in his pursuit of love.
Of course, Nicholas wouldn’t know Kieran had this notion, only exhorting, “Have someone take care of Grandpa after you guys go back. Call me if anything happens.”
Just when Nicholas wanted to head into the bedroom, he found Tessa coming up to him as soon as he turned around.
“Is Greg asleep?”
“Yeah, he fell asleep a couple of minutes ago.” Tessa nodded subtly and landed her gaze on the phone in Nicholas’ hand. “Was that Kieran on the phone? Did something happen over there?”
When he saw her worried look, Nicholas took her to their bedroom as he comforted her, saying, “Nothing happened. You don’t have to worry.”
Though Tessa was relieved by the news, she still felt terrible as she reproached herself, “If only I were better, your grandfather won’t be so against me.”
“Don’t say that. You’re already outstanding enough.” Nicholas pulled her into his arms and comforted her, not liking how Tessa belittled herself. “Trust me, I can sort everything out.”
But—”
“That’s enough, I can take care of everything that happens. You just have to stay by my side, rely on me, and don’t give up.”
Tessa stared into his fathomless eyes for some time before finally nodding softly. “I will always be by your side no matter what happens!”
