Always Been Yours

Chapter 1514

Tessa decided not to push the subject. “Alright. Since he’s not your type, then I won’t force you. But, if you plan to abort the child, I suggest that you at least inform Edward about your decision.”

“I’ll think about it.” Mona did not object to the suggestion. Then, she urged Tessa to return to the restaurant. Tessa did not stay for long once she confirmed that Mona was fine. Back at the restaurant, the others immediately expressed their concern for Mona when Tessa returned. “Tessa, is Mona okay?”

“She’s fine. She’s just having some stomach. problems, so I arranged for some light and digestible food to be delivered to her room,” she responded with a half-truth.

Everybody, except for Nicholas, did not think.. much about her answer and continued eating their meal. The meal ended on a happy note. After that, they dispersed and returned to their respective rooms to rest. Nicholas brought Tessa home. During the car ride, he began to question her. “What’s wrong with your friend?”

“She…” Tessa was about to answer when she caught a glimpse of Edward, who was driving in the front seat. Hence, she changed her mind and said, “It’s nothing.”

Despite her response, he immediately saw through her evasion. He swept a glance at Edward and stopped pursuing the matter.

When they reached home, Nicholas took Tessa to the bedroom and resumed their conversation from before. “Is your friend’s condition related to Edward?”

Tessa glanced at him in astonishment and burst out laughing. “I really can’t hide anything from you.” He raised his eyebrows slightly and pressed her again. “So, what happened?”

“Mona is pregnant, and Edward is the father.” She did not conceal anything and responded truthfully. Her answer shocked him greatly. A short while later, he seemed to recall something. “Was it that

night?” She nodded. His confusion intensified at her response. “That’s strange…”

Logically speaking, Edward had not drunk a drop of alcohol that night. He was also not that kind of person. Combined with the fact that he knew martial arts, there was no reason for something like that to occur…

She easily guessed what he was thinking and giggled. “Indeed, it’s very strange. Unfortunately, Mona seemed reluctant to talk. about the incident. I couldn’t question her for further details.”

“It’s certainly not something you can probe into, but… He nodded and changed the subject. “Edward is not young anymore. Having worked under me for so many years, he probably did not have much time to search for a girlfriend. For such an incident to occur between them, perhaps their encounter was fate at play.”

Hearing that, she immediately knew that he had the same idea as her. Then, she remembered what Mona had said to her at the hotel and shook her head. “I mentioned the same idea to Mona earlier, but she claimed that Edward is not her type.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“That might not necessarily be the case. I will see what Edward thinks tomorrow. If he has no such intentions, then we won’t interfere with their affairs.” He expressed his thoughts.

Although she did not think the outcome would change the situation by much, it was only natural to support her husband’s kind intentions. “In that case, you can see what Edward thinks tomorrow. I will visit Mona at the hotel. Her pregnancy symptoms seem to be quite severe.”

He nodded in agreement. Early the next morning, the entire family had breakfast together. Afterward, Nicholas left for work. Tessa also went to the hotel after she dropped Gregory off at school.

Nicholas arrived at the company and headed straight for his office. A short while later, Edward knocked on the door and entered the office to report on Nicholas’ daily schedule.

“President Sawyer, you have two meetings in the morning. One of them is a video conference abroad at 10.00AM.” When he finished giving his report, he looked up only to see his employer staring straight at him.

In the beginning, he thought that there was something wrong with his appearance. He glanced down at himself but could not figure out what was wrong. In the end, he couldn’t help wondering in confusion, “President Sawyer, why are you staring at me like that?”

Nicholas smiled and asked, “You’ll be turning thirty-two years old this year, right? I heard your family arranged a blind date for you last year. What was the outcome of the blind date?”

Edward was stunned. He never imagined that his employer would suddenly gain an interest in his private life.
