Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 1009 The Cops Came

She tried to convince Tessa into coming home. Tessa was in a dilemma. It was the cusp of her album’s release, and her career was just starting to flourish. If she gave that up and went back, all her efforts would have been for nothing.

Nicholas noticed her predicament. He held her in his embrace and told his mother, “I told you it’s still early. We’ll come back once it’s almost time for her to give birth. And I’m staying with her, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

Stefania was infuriated that her son refused but she knew she wouldn’t be able to change his mind, so she told him to keep an eye on things and hung up.

Tessa was grateful, but she also felt guilty. She turned around and hugged Nicholas. With a muffled voice, she asked, “Do you think I’m too selfish?” Everyone’s worried about the baby, but I still want to work on my career even though it might be risky.

Nicholas could guess what she was thinking, and he patted her back. “Don’t think too much about it. You’re the best.”

At the same time, back at Sawyer Residence, Tobias saw his wife hanging up angrily. He asked, “What happened?”

“I just can’t get through to Nicholas. I was doing it for that girl’s good, but he couldn’t see it.” Stefania told her husband what they just talked about. She was worried about Tessa. After getting along with her for a while, she thought Tessa had a penchant for attracting trouble.
