Always Been Yours

Chapter 1244

To prevent Horace from pressuring her into marriage, Wanda worked around the clock in hopes of fleeing the country as soon as possible.

In the following month, she settled most of the work, and the collaboration with the Sawyer Group was the only remaining.

Today, she specially visited the Sawyer Group to terminate the collaboration between the two companies. Due to the smidgen of anticipation, she dolled herself up on that very day.

Edward knocked on the door before entering the presidential room at Sawyer Group. “President Sawyer, Wanda is here.”

“See her out.” Nicholas gave a downright answer. Edward hesitated. “But she said she’s here to terminate the collaboration with us.”

Slightly surprised, Nicholas finally agreed to meet her. Soon, Edward led her into the office.

Today, she appeared professional and charming in formal office wear, which outlined her voluptuous body curve.

However, it did not catch on Nicholas’ eyes as he immediately got down to business. “Edward NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

said you’re here to end the collaboration between us.”

“Yes, we’ve benefitted tons from you and Master Kieran’s care, but I’ve been causing trouble this whole time. I don’t deserve your help and wish to put my past to an end.”

Despite her composed announcement, Wanda was still secretly holding onto hope. Her eyes fixed on his in an attempt to discern some other emotions in that indifferent gaze.

Yet, his expression remained rigid. “Fine by me.”

Next, he requested Edward to print out the termination agreement. It did not take Edward long to bring it over to them. As such, Nicholas signed it immediately before handing it to Wanda.

The signed contract added weight to her, but she finally accepted reality-this man did not bear any feelings for her from the start until the end; it was all her one-sided crush

Now that the agreement was signed by both parties, the collaboration had officially come to an end.

“Edward, please send Miss Wanda off.” Nicholas had no intention to waste any more time with her. “This way, Miss Wanda.” Edward carried out his task dutifully.

A crestfallen Wanda glanced at the cold man and left Sawyer Group with the agreement contract. She cooped herself in her room upon returning home and tried to drink herself silly to smother misery. However, before she became tipsy after having a few glasses of alcohol, nausea surged in her throat.

“Blargh- In the end, she covered her mouth and made a dash for the toilet, throwing up everything she had.

The next day, she woke up feeling sick. The weight on her chest and nausea made her uncomfortable. She struggled to get up from bed and headed downstairs to have breakfast.

Horace, who was in the dining room, coldly snorted and continued his meal. They had been giving each other the cold treatment recently.

Feeling helpless, Wanda greeted him in an airy voice, “Morning, Grandpa.”

Her feathery voice made him look at her pale complexion with a frown. “What’s wrong? You look awful. Are you sick?” He put matters aside as he grew concerned.

She nodded without hiding. “I don’t feel well. I’m going to the hospital later.”

“I’ll come along. Then, he asked the butler to get the car ready. However, she thwarted him. “No. I’m fine going alone. You should get some rest at home.”

In the end, he agreed to that despite his worries. He knew he could not talk her out of it.

Later on, she visited the gastroenterology unit at the hospital. While waiting for her turn, she unexpectedly bumped into Nicholas and Tessa.

Tessa’s labor was approaching, so he accompanied her for the final check-up.

Wanda watched them coming in her direction with smiling faces. His gentle expression and actions when looking after Tessa evoked a pang of pain in Wanda.
