Chapter 218

Nicholas thought back to the time when Tessa resigned from her position. She mehe not return on her own initiative

as things stood, but she might be willing to return if Gregory took the initiative to ask her. When it came down to it,

the right to decide was in her hands.

Hence, he said, “You can video call her. If she agrees, I’ll send you there.”

“Okay!” Gregory nodded repeatedly in delight. He had been worried that he might annoy Tessa if he kept disturbing

her, so he had not contacted her recently. “I miss Miss Tessa. I’m sure she misses me too.”

Tessa was at home talking to Timothy when she received the video call notification. After hiding for so many days,

she suddenly felt her heart pounding a little faster at the sight of Nicholas’ name. She was reluctant to answer the

video call.

Her reaction puzzled Timothy. “What’s wrong, Tess? Why aren’t you answering?”

Not wanting her brother to overthink about this matter, she gritted her teeth and accepted the invitation to the

video call.

Gregory’s face instantly appeared on the screen of her phone. As soon as he saw her, he greeted her sweetly.

“Good afternoon, Miss Tessa! Have you eaten? Did you miss me?”

She did not answer his questions. Instead, she asked faintly, “What’s up?”

He was so elated to see her at this moment that he failed to notice the change in her attitude. He happily

exclaimed, “I missed you, Miss Tessa. That’s why I asked Daddy to video call you. Are you free later? I want to play

with you, Miss Tessa.”

“I’m not free.” She lowered her eyes to conceal her emotions and gave an indifferent answer.

He was taken aback by her words. Although he seemed slightly disappointed, he still looked at her hopefully. “I see.

What about tomorrow? Or, the day after tomorrow? I’m okay with any time as long as you’re free, Miss Tessa.”

“I’ll be busy in the near future. I have something to do, so I’ll hang up if there’s nothing else.” Her expression was

cold.

Reading between the lines, he understood the meaning behind her wordshil

widened his eyes in disbelief. “Miss Tessa… is something wrong?”

Her reply was frosty. “No.”

Immédiately after that, she ended the video call without another word.

Timothy, who was standing nearby, was also quite shocked by her attitude toward Gregory. Tess loves Young Master

Gregory the most! Why did she refuse to meet him? Besides, she’s at home all the time. How can she be busy?

He asked worriedly, “Tess, are you atright? Did something happen?”

She shook her head tiredly. She had no intention of telling her brother about the affairs between her and the

Sawyer Family.

“Then, why?” He didn’t quite understand.

She shook her head again. “It’s nothing. I’m just a little tired. Don’t you need to go to work? Hurry up and eat. Go

back to work after you finish eating.”

Seeing that she was not willing to explain further, he did not force her even though he was overflowing with

questions. Either way, he would respect the decisions that she made.

Gregory was currently at the Dynasty Gardens. He stared at the screen that had returned to the chat interface in

shock. Did Miss Tessa just hang up on the video call?

“Daddy, did something happen to Miss Tessa? Why is she unwilling to meet me or talk to me?” He raised his head to

look at his father sadly.

Nicholas had been nearby during the video call between Gregory and Tessa. Although he had not intended to listen

in on the conversation between them, there was no doubt that he heard the entire conversation.

At this moment, his expression was not very pleasant. He did not know what had caused her attitude to shift so

abruptly either. It was different from the time she was discharged from the hospital. This time, she seemed even

more resolute than before. It felt like she had made up her mind to draw a firm line between them.

“Daddy, I want to see Miss Tessa. Can you bring me to visit her? Please bring me to visit her. She won’t be like this

after she sees me.” Even though the words came out of Gregory’s mouth, he pouted sullenly. He subconsciously

knew that Tessa was pulling

away from him and did not wish to meet him..

Nicholas had a vague speculation in his heart. Tessa must be facing difficulties of some sort. Otherwise, she would

not have such a drastic change in attitude.

We were the ones to set up the last two meetings with her while she herself has never actively reached out to
