Chapter 295
Edward didn‘t imagine that Tessa had left the country a week ago and even settled down abroad. Nevertheless, he hurriedly sent the information packet to Dynasty Gardens, not daring to withhold the information.
Nicholas sat at the desk dressed in casual home attire in the black and white minimalist study, emanating an ominous air around him.
“Where‘s she? Did you find her?”
Sensing the pressure in the air, Edward immediately reported the results of his investigations respectfully. “I found her. Miss Reinhart bought a ticket and left the country a week ago.”
As soon as he said that, the temperature in the room dropped a few degrees lower, and as expected, Nicholas‘ face was terrifyingly solemn. Great, just great, he thought sarcastically. This woman actually left without a word!
Edward asked cautiously, peering at his boss, who had an unusually glum look on his face, “President Sawyer, should I bring Miss Reinhart back?”
“For what?!” Nicholas snapped, his voice filled with anger as he cast an icy stare toward Edward.
Secretly, Edward sulked, thinking, You‘ll still have to get her back in a couple of days‘ time. After all, Young Master Gregory can‘t do without Miss Reinhart.
Speaking of the devil, Gregory pushed the door open with red–rimmed eyes. At first, he wanted to look for Nicholas to help him think of a way to meet Tessa. However, he didn‘t expect to overhear the news that she had already left the country instead.
“Daddy, is Miss Tessa not coming back anymore?” He gripped his pajamas mournfully and started to whimper as he said, “Am I not going to see her again in the
future?”
Nicholas kept quiet, unsure of what he should say, and Gregory understood the look in his eyes. Then, in an instant, he started bawling. “Why did Miss Tessa leave? Is it because I‘m not a good boy? Daddy, will you get her back for me? Please?”
The way he twitched and jerked while crying looked so heartbreaking that Edward couldn‘t bear it and hurriedly crouched down. While wiping his tears away, he assured him, “Young Master Gregory, maybe Miss Reinhart went abroad because of
some business and would be back after a few days.”
As soon as Gregory heard that, only then did he try his best to stop his cries. “Hic… Really? Will she be back after a few days?”
Even though he was asking Edward, his tear–filled eyes glanced over at Nicholas seated at the desk.
Realizing this, Edward turned to look at his boss as well, squinting at Nicholas in hopes that he wouldn‘t expose his white lie from earlier. However, Nicholas ignored him entirely and kept his eyes on the pitiful Gregory as his heart filled with
resentment and anger at Tessa, who left without a word.
A few years ago, she abandoned her son because of money, and she‘s still the same a few years later! This woman is just as heartless as she was before.
“Daddy…” Gregory cried when Nicholas didn‘t answer him for a long time.
Then, meeting Gregory‘s eyes, Nicholas was soft–hearted for a split second. Still, he finally steeled his heart and warned strictly, “You‘re not allowed to think about Tessa Reinhart and you‘re also forbidden to go to their place to look for Timothy Reinhart from now on.”
Stunned, Gregory cried and yelled angrily, “Daddy‘s a meanie! You can‘t stop me from seeing Miss Tessa. I want her and I don‘t want to be separated from her.”
After saying that, he turned around and dashed off. He wanted to find Tessa and didn‘t want to be with his mean father.
“Gregory Sawyer, stay right there!” Nicholas shouted loudly.
Unfortunately, Gregory didn‘t care and dashed out of sight. Nicholas chased after him with a stone–cold face with an air of fury surrounding him. Noticing the situation spiraling out of control, Edward followed behind closely.
After they came out of the study, Nicholas saw Gregory making a scene, crying as he ran for the main doors. Then, he immediately ordered the servants, “Stop Young Master Gregory!”
The second he said that, servants from all sideas lunged forward and surrounded Gregory
“Go away, all of you! I want to look for Miss Tessa,” Gregory bawled, shoving the servants in his path.
Despite his efforts, he was too young and too weak to shove them aside. At that moment, he knew it was a futile effort and that he couldn‘t leave on his own without help.
