Always Been Yours

Chapter 83

“Apologize?” Tessa was slightly puzzled.

Stefania nodded, “At that time, I was too worried about Greg, so that’s why I blamed you, an outsider, without any evidence. Now that I think about it, it was really unfair to you. But how could I expect that the one who drugged Greg was actually one of our own?!”

With a deep sigh, Stefania’s tone was full of remorse. She had been treating Yana as her best friend for many years, but that person had been scheming against her most precious grandson. She hated herself for not seeing through it and almost harming the little boy!

Tessa, who still did not know everything, could not help but frown in confusion on hearing that. “One of your own?”

“Miss Pretty Lady, it was Mrs. Gingham who harmed me.” Halfway through the conversation, Greg suddenly spoke. The little boy came in with a Rubik’s cube in his hands, after which he moved toward Tessa and widened his dark eyes before interjecting, “The one whom we went together to the airport to pick up.”

Went to the airport to pick up? Aren’t they Roselle and Yana?

Tessa frowned and looked at Stefania. “Why her? Aren’t you and Mrs. Gingham friends? How could she?..”

However, Stefania did not explain. She held back the answer in her heart, thinking that she couldn’t tell Tessa that the reason Yana did this was to get rid of Tessa. Thus, she simply said, “Forget it. Let’s not talk about this. Anyway, this matter has been solved, and the misunderstanding has also been explained clearly. Miss Reinhart, I should’ve right the wrong earlier. I’m really sorry.”

Tessa’s face sank slightly; in fact, there was indeed a thorn in her heart. But if she thought about it from Stefania’s standpoint, at that time, the older woman was worried about Gregory, so it was reasonable for her to suspect an outsider indiscriminately.

Thinking of this, Tessa relaxed and simply said, “It’s fine. It’s all over. Mrs. Sawyer, I also know that you only suspected me because you were worried about Greg. If I were you, I might have thought the same way at that time too. So, it’s okay.”

When she said this, she sounded nonchalant. Stefania, on the contrary, was startled, seemingly not expecting that this matter was actually so easily shrugged off by Tessa. If it were someone else, they might already be asking for some compensation, but Tessa was considerate. At that moment, she had a change of heart toward Tessa. It seems that, indeed, I had thought wrong of this girl before. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Afterward, the two had no words to say to each other, and Tessa sat stiffly for a while. Feeling slightly awkward, she said, “Mrs. Sawyer, I have promised Greg to continue teaching him the violin. If it’s alright with you, then I will start the lesson now.”

Stefania nodded in agreement, so Tessa immediately got up and took Greg’s hand, and the two of them went to the study together. After one lesson, it was already lunchtime. When Tessa came out holding Greg, she found that Nicholas had actually come back. At this moment, he was sitting downstairs on the sofa, talking with Stefania.

“It’s rare to see you back at this hour.” Stefania made a nonchalant comment after seeing him.

Nicholas’ eyes carelessly swept a glance at Tessa and responded, “I left some documents at home, so I came back to get them and accompany Greg for lunch as well.”

Although he said this, he had heard that his mother had come to the house and was worried that Tessa would be given a hard time, so he rushed back home. When Stefania heard this, she did not suspect anything and only nodded before turning to the little boy. “Greg, it’s almost time to eat. Go

wash your hands.”

Next, she landed her gaze on Tessa, and she added kindly, “Miss Reinhart too. Do get ready to eat.”

Tessa hesitated but nodded at last. After that, she took Greg away to wash his hands.

At the dining table, the little boy naturally wanted to sit together with Tessa as if he was reluctant to be far away from her. During the meal, Stefania also passed her dishes from time to time. “Miss Reinhart, have some more.”

“Thank you,” Tessa nodded and answered, then she ate quietly, trying not to make a sound.

Stefania inspected Tessa but found that Tessa was not as vulgar as she thought. At least, this girl’s behavior and demeanor were very decent and elegant, and there seemed to be no bad habits about her that Stefania could nitpick.

However, halfway through the meal, it was suddenly interrupted. Andrew suddenly hurried in to report, “Mrs. Sawyer, Master Nicholas, Miss Gingham is here.”
