Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Nicholas didn’t say anything as he drove Tessa and Timothy home. “If you need anything, just call me.” Tessa nodded. “Thank you, President Sawyer.” With that, she entered the house without looking back. Upon returning home, Tessa breathed a sign of relief and thought, That was close. Earlier, when she sawthe look in Gregory’s eyes, she nearly relented and brought him home. Now, this outcome was prettygood. She sighed, then smiled and said to Timothy, “It’s been a long time since I came back. Our own home isalways the most comfortable.” Not noticing anything strange, Timothy smiled. “You don’t say. You haven’t been home for so long that it’sstarting to accumulate dust, yet you’re saying that it’s comfortable. Go outside and sit down. I’ll clean upthe room for you.”

Tessa chuckled, then obediently sat aside. “It’s been a hard time for you, Tim. When I’ve recovered, I’llcook a grand meal for you.” “Since you’ve said that, you can’t go back on your word. You always lie to me,” Timothy responded with alaugh. Tessa leaned against the sofa and smiled. “Okay. Thank you for being so kind, Tim. By then, I’ll cookwhatever you want to eat. Do you want a full banquet like they had during the olden days?”. Early the next morning, in the cafe, Stefania looked at Tessa. “Miss Reinhart, have you considered it?” “I have,” Tessa answered. Tessa had indeed thought about it all night since Stefania said that. “So, have you decided to leave Greg, Miss Reinhart?” Stefania asked. After she got to know that Tessa had been discharged from the hospital, but instead of following Nicholasand Gregory back to Dynasty Gardens, she returned to her own home, she already knew what Tessa’sdecision was. She had been waiting for Tessa to contact her, then take the money and leave the SawyerFamily. Tessa nodded without hesitation. “Yes, I’ll propose my resignation to President Sawyer. I won’t trouble

you, Madam Sawyer.” Stefania was right. Indeed, it wasn’t suitable for her to stay by Gregory’s side. He was unwilling to mixaround with strangers and was too attached to her. This wouldn’t help Gregory’s growth. He must learnto have contact with the outside world while he was still young. The first step to take was for her to leavethe child and give him the opportunity to mingle in the outside world. Stefania smiled. “So, I guess you’re not a teacher anymore. On behalf of the Sawyer Family, I thank youfor knowing what’s good. After you take the money, I’d like you to also keep your promise.” Tessa interrupted her, her attitude indifferent. “Madam Sawyer, you should take back this check. I willonly take the salary that belongs to me. I don’t want anything more. Besides, I was the one who lostGregory, and I saved him willingly, not for any other purpose. This can’t be measured by money, and Idon’t need any tokens of appreciation. With that, Tessa stood up, picked up her bag, and left the cafe. After leaving the coffee shop, Tessa felt emptiness inside her. She took several deep breaths, trying todispel the discomfort. But, after a few times, there was still no relief. Now, she really had to draw a linewith Gregory… In the past few days, she had been thinking about this matter, and now the dust had finally settled. Sinceit was her own decision, there was no need to hold on to the past. She could only hope that Gregorywould thrive somewhere she couldn’t see. That was all. After Tessa made those remarks and left, Stefania stayed seated for a while. This matter was solved soeasily that she had yet to react. Tessa actually didn’t want money, and she took the initiative to leaveGreg? Stefania thought, Since she doesn’t want any compensation and offered to resign, then this matter canbe regarded as completely solved. Soon afterward, she packed her things and left the cafe. After she left, a woman emerged from the cubicle behind the seat where the two were talking. It wasnone other than Roselle.
