Chapter 285
It really is her…
Edward was a little flustered to see him like this. “President Sawyer, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Without turning back, Nicholas replied, “You can go back first.”
Feeling slightly worried, Edward hesitated about whether or not he should leave. “But, President
Nicholas looked back as his eyes narrowed dangerously. “Go back.”
“Okay.”
Edward couldn’t help but shudder when he saw how Nicholas had acted. He was still young and valued his life, so he quickly left this place.
After Edward left, Nicholas sat on the bench outside the ward for a long time. He had guessed this answer early on, but he delayed detection because he was rather afraid to face the truth.
He instantly found it ridiculous. The dignified president Sawyer Group, a retired member of the special forces, had something he was afraid to face?
However, he truly didn’t know how he was supposed to face Tessa.
Once upon a time, he hated the woman he knew that gave birth to Gregory for money, then left him for unknown reasons to live a happy and carefree life.
Now, she had shown up in his and Gregory’s life that way, and she was even living together with them like a family now.
What’s the reason for this? Does Tessa know that she’s Gregory’s biological mother? Was it premeditated or…
As Nicholas stood at the door of the ward watching the two mother and son interacting inside, he couldn’t bring himself to feel hatred. All he felt were complicated emotions.
Nicholas sat outside for a while before he finally decided not to reveal the secret yet. He wanted to see whether Tessa knew about it. Is her return premeditated?
Solving a mystery didn’t bring him joy, but it made him even more puzzled instead. Now, there was another question of why she left and returned.
With a cold expression on his face, he entered the ward. Gregory was eating the
custard that Tessa had made. As soon as he saw Nicholas, he shouted sweetly, “Daddy!”
Nicholas’ gaze swept across Tessa and Gregory before he let out a faint sigh as if nothing had happened.
“President Sawyer, would you like to try some custard?” she asked.
Nicholas answered coldly, “No.”
Seeing that he had left and returned with a cold attitude and a sour expression, she was a little puzzled. “Did something happen?”
“No.”
Then, he rose to his feet. “Help me to take care of Gregory.”
With that, he strode out of Gregory’s ward without looking back.
Upon seeing this, Tessa felt that Nicholas was a little strange today, but she couldn’t tell what was wrong and decided to keep her mouth shut.
He was the president of Sawyer Group, so it was only natural that he had many problems to solve, none of which was of her concern.
Feeling a little confused, Gregory asked, “What’s wrong with Daddy?”
Tessa shook her head. “Perhaps too many things are happening in the office. Do you want more custard?”
“Yes!”
Gregory had recently removed his retainer, so he nodded vigorously. “Miss Tessa, your custard is the best custard I’ve ever had!”
She couldn’t help but laugh. “You have the sweetest little mouth. When I’m gone, no one will eat it anymore.”
He pursed his lips and smiled. “It’s okay. From now on, just make it for me. Don’t cook it for other kids, Miss Tessa.”
· A dark figure flashed past the door of the ward. Nicholas had never left, but he was
standing at the door and eavesdropping on their conversation.
His heart wavered, and he didn’t know whether he should tell Gregory the truth.
In the end, he chose to keep his mouth shut. This matter had yet to be investigated clearly. He didn’t know how Gregory would react in the face of the truth. He couldn’t
take risks and let Gregory suffer any harm.
On this day, when Tessa was cooking for Gregory at home, her phone rang. She glanced at it and found that it was a strange number. Thinking that it was just an advertisement, she didn’t answer.
However, the other party didn’t seem to give up as they made several consecutive calls. The phone rang without interruption, as if urging her.
