Chapter 232
Only when they left home did he find out that it was to meet Hayley, whom his father allegedly was going to get engaged to, as well as to meet her family.
Initially, Gregory was disinterested in meeting them, but it wouldn’t be good for him to find fault with his grandparents and leave rudely, so he sat in his seat, acting indifferent.
As he looked at Hayley, who was in front of him, he started to miss Tessa even more.
While he was thinking about this, he heard Tessa’s voice, so he raised his head abruptly. Sure enough, he saw Tessa opening the door and walking in.
Gregory was extremely happy that his dreams had been realized and he wanted nothing more than to rush forward and hug Tessa’s leg.
However, he remembered that Tessa had been avoiding him recently, so he couldn’t approach her and let her baby him, which made him feel a little dispirited.
He could only sit obediently in his seat while he stared at her, trying to get some response.
Yet, his heart sank when Tessa, whom he missed terribly, pretended not to see him, despite having obviously seen him. Is Miss Tessa planning to ignore me forever?
Tessa sensed that the look in Gregory’s eyes had gotten a little sad, so she began to hesitate. Deliberately being indifferent to Gregory was also a form of torment to her, but she had no choice.
Not daring to look at Gregory again, she feigned calmness and chatted with Scott.
From the corners of her eyes, she saw that there was a classy lady sitting at Gregory’s table, and she was coaxing the boy to talk to her the entire time.
At the table, Tessa heard Stefania call the woman Hayley, so she guessed that this was Nicholas’ fiancée-Hayley Stone, the treasure of the Stone Family.
Nevertheless, who Nicholas would marry and who he was with had nothing to do with Tessa.
Hence, she stopped paying attention to their table and concentrated on her conversation with Scott.
Seeing that Tessa had completely shifted her attention, Gregory grew even more frustrated. Miss Tessa doesn‘t even want to look at me anymore....
Hayley noticed that Gregory’s mood was fluctuating and she found it strange. “Greg, what’s the matter? Are you unwell?”
Gregory shook his head and didn’t answer. Even though Hayley was gentle, she still wasn’t better than Tessa.
He didn’t like Hayley.
Hayley didn’t mind Gregory’s attitude much either, as she had long known that he didn’t like strangers. She believed that feelings could be cultivated.
She carried on smiling at Gregory while putting food on his plate. “Here, Greg. How about I feed you? The food in this restaurant is delicious. If you eat them, you’ll definitely ask for more.”
He turned his head away to dodge the food that was about to be fed into his mouth.
He wasn’t a three-year-old child, and it had been a long time since he needed to be fed. He figured if Tessa saw this, she wouldn’t come back anymore. What should he do then?
“Greg, Miss Stone is feeding you because she likes you. You’ll have to give your opinion about whether you like it or not.”
Stefania was a little embarrassed when she saw that Gregory wasn’t showing Hayley any regard whatsoever, so she explained, “Gregory has always been like this. He’s shy with strangers.”
Hayley smiled, seemingly unbothered. “With time, I’ll become less of a stranger. It’s fine. I’m very patient. Gregory will definitely accept me, and I like his character very much because he expresses his dislikes outrightly.”
When Stefania heard this, she secretly expressed her liking toward Hayley. Hayley was polite and also patient with Gregory. If she actually married into the Sawyer Family in the future, it would be regarded as a great thing to her.
She believed that Hayley would definitely treat Gregory as her own. Then, she smiled. “Hayley, you really are a good woman.!
Hayley was also happy to have received the approval. To put it bluntly, the purpose of this meeting was none other than for her to tackle Gregory with all her heart and
soul,
The Stone and Sawyer Families had no objections to this marriage.
The only variable was the child in front of her. The Sawyer Family had spoiled this child, so if the child didn’t agree, she was afraid that even if Hayley and Nicholas got married, Gregory wouldn’t acknowledge Hayley. This was something that both families didn’t want to see happen.
