Chapter 233
However, no matter how Hayley coaxed Gregory, he ignored her as he remained in low spirits, wallowing
in the misery that Tessa was ignoring him.
His mind was full of questions as to why Tessa would do that.
Is it because Daddy is getting married? But, Daddy has already promised me that as long as I don‘t like it, he won‘t marry this woman.
He didn’t pay attention to the woman in front of him although she said that she wanted to take care of
him. He didn’t even look at her, for fear that Tessa might notice it.
Hayley didn’t know what Gregory was thinking, so she continued to patiently coax him, only to realize
that Gregory’s gaze had been fixed on the woman at the next table, as if he knew her.
However, this woman wasn’t even sparing Gregory a glance.
She assumed that Gregory was just taking a couple more glances at her because she was good-looking
Hayley didn’t think much about it and continued to focus on Gregory, showering him with motherly love.
Unfortunately, Gregory was unmoved.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTessa wasn’t aware of the situation happening at Gregory’s table at all. At first, she forced her attention
away from Gregory and asked Scott a series of questions.
She gradually forgot about Gregory’s presence and was just focused on unearthing the secrets of the
first chair violinist. When they talked about matters related to violin, both of them were utterly excited.
It didn’t take long for the two of them to finish their meal, and the academic inquiry was over in just a
short time. After paying the bill, they were about to leave the restaurant right away.
But, before the two of them could reach the door, they were blocked by a tall figure.
Tessa looked up at the person in a gloomy manner, and she was about to let him pass when she saw the
familiar face. The person who had just arrived was none other than Nicholas,
Tessa gulped, then swallowed the words she was about to say.
Nicholas swept his indifferent gaze across her face. Then, as if he didn’t know her, he turned sideways
and avoided the two of them before walking toward Gregory’s table.
Hayley saw Nicholas as soon as he entered the restaurant. Her eyes lit up in an instant, and her gaze
was stuck on the man who exuded a powerful aura.
Even if he frowned and didn’t show a single smile, so what? That was his character. He was unmatched
in Brentwood City.
Seeing Nicholas again this time, Hayley was firmly attracted to him, and she decided that this man could
only be hers!
As she had been staring at him, Hayley keenly sensed that something was wrong after he saw the
woman who was sitting at the next table.
Nicholas was a person who didn’t talk much, and he was indifferent toward strangers, so he usually
ignored them. But just now, when he saw that woman, Hayley could feel that Nicholas’ anger was
undoubtedly rising.
Although he was silent as usual, she still felt that after seeing that woman, his mood took a change for
the worse.
When the woman saw that it was him, she obviously froze for a moment before shifting her gaze, not
daring to look at him. It was obvious that she knew him.

Among strangers, there was no need to be like this.
Coupled with Gregory’s reaction, Hayley figured there must be something happening between the three
of them.
Hayley’s heart sank slightly, and there was now a different look in her eyes when she peered at Tessa’s
back. What‘s that woman‘s identity?
Nicholas walked to their table in a cold manner. “Dad, Mom, Mr. and Mrs. Stone.”
“Nicholas, you’re here. Have a seat. We haven’t seen you in such a long time. You’re getting more and
more handsome. Let me take a good look at you,” said Sonia with a smile.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Nicholas’ eyes as he replied coldly, “I’m here to pick up my son.
There’s some business to attend to at the company, so I won’t be staying.”
Hearing this, Gregory got out of his seat directly and held tightly onto Nicholas’ hand. “Then, let’s go
back, Daddy.”
Nicholas gave his elders a slight nod before leaving the restaurant.
After Hayley returned to the Stone Residence, she found the situation increasingly strange the more she
thought about it, so she told her assistant, “Find the information of the woman who sat at the table in the
upper right corner of the restaurant where I had lunch with the Sawyers this afternoon.”
