Chapter 31 I Don’t Want to Be Separated From Her
To everyone’s surprise, Nicholas had an icy gaze as he responded in a cold voice, “Miss Reinhart is only there for work, so it has nothing to do with her marital status. What’s wrong with it?”
Yana was speechless the moment she heard those words whereas Roselle clenched her fists, feeling jealousy coursing through her veins.
However, he ignored everyone’s comments and his strong figure abruptly turned around with a powerful aura to leave with Gregory and Tessa.
…
On the way back, Tessa looked at the dark scenery outside the window and said, “Um… Please send me to Pinnacle Community.”
When Gregory heard that, he anxiously asked, “Miss Pretty Lady, are you going back? Aren’t you staying in Dynasty Gardens?”
She gave a slight smile before apologizing, “I’m sorry. Although I have agreed to be your teacher, I can’t live with you all the time. I still have my family to take care of and my own work to do, but I promise you that I will teach you every day. Okay?”
“Oh…”
The little boy sounded sad as he lowered his head, his face filled with disappointment. When she saw this, Tessa felt a little awful but still insisted on leaving. Although she had only attended a simple family dinner in the Sawyer Residence tonight, she clearly felt that there was a huge gap between herself and Gregory.
He was from the top wealthy family in the city while she was an ordinary person with no strong identity or background. Hence, they were completely from two different worlds. Since he liked her and wanted her to stay, the Sawyer Family reluctantly tolerated her appearance so as not to make him sad.
However, she was not stupid! How could a top wealthy family like the Sawyer Family allow an ordinary person to develop a deep relationship with Gregory? On top of that, she didn’t want them to feel that she was someone with bad intentions.
Recalling the attitudes of Roselle and Yana in the Sawyer Residence earlier today, Tessa knew that the two of them clearly had impure intentions toward the Sawyer Family. So, after thinking about it, she decided to keep an appropriate distance from Gregory.
Thinking of this, Tessa no longer wavered and persuaded Gregory, “Greg, you have to be obedient. I am just going back to rest and we can meet again tomorrow, okay?”
Gregory still had his head down and looked depressed without responding.
She couldn’t help but be a little worried, so she turned to Nicholas with the hope that he could persuade the boy. However, Nicholas only glanced at the little boy from the corner of his eye and responded in a frosty voice, “Don’t pay any attention to him. He will come around by himself.”
After he finished, he ordered the assistant in front, “We’ll head to Pinnacle Community.”
The assistant nodded and the car turned around immediately. Their journey there was silent and soon, the car stopped at the entrance of Pinnacle Community. Before Tessa got out of the car, she said goodbye to Gregory. “Sweetheart, I’ve arrived home and will head back first. Be good and I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Gregory was sulking, but he still nodded sullenly. Smiling gently, she then alighted from the vehicle and turned to walk off. The little boy immediately rolled down the car window, then put his two hands on it. Looking at the back of Tessa’s figure with an unhappy face, he was so sad that his heart was about to shatter. I don’t want to be separated from her, not even for a second!
Nicholas glanced at him and reminded lightly, “That’s enough. It’s not like you’ll never see her again. Drive.”
The car engine was restarted and it drove away thereafter. Gregory immediately withdrew his aggrieved expression before he stared at his father sullenly to complain, “It’s all your fault for not persuading Miss Pretty Lady to live with us!”
Nicholas’ expression was leisurely and indifferent. “Why should I? Letting her be your teacher is already my limit. Gregory Sawyer, don’t push your luck.”
