Chapter 644 Stefania didn’t realize the odd look on Janet’s face as she was busy scrutinizing Nicholas silently before
she parted her lips to question him once more. “Tell me, what are you working so hard for?”
Nicholas looked away from Janet after hearing his mother’s words. “I promised to bring Gregory
overseas,” ne uttered,
When Stefania heard that Nicholas was leaving the country, she immediately knew that he was going to
look for Tessa. She twisted her face into a frown. “Why are you still thinking about Tessa? I don’t want
you to go.”
“No one can stop me from doing what I want to do,” he replied before meeting gazes with his mother.
There was a determined look in his dark pupils. When Stefania saw the look in his eyes, she knew that
she wouldn’t be able to change his mind either. “You can go if you want to. However, I want you to keep
Gregory here.”
Nicholas frowned at her words without responding to them. “Don’t you think you’re being really biased
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttoward Tessa, mom? She’s going to perform at the end of the month, and she’s doing really well now. So,
you shouldn’t be biased against her. Furthermore, she’s great at teaching Gregory. I’m sure you can see
the changes in the boy.” It was rare to hear Nicholas talking so much. Everything he said had a point,
and Stefania found herself speechless.
“One way or another, I just don’t like her. I won’t agree to this no matter what you say!” In the end, this
was the only statement she could come up with. Nicholas felt a headache coming as he listened to her
speak. However, her words didn’t have any other impact on him-he wasn’t going to leave Tessa just
because his mother didn’t like her.
“I don’t care if you like her or not. She’s the only person I’m going to marry in this lifetime,” he said. Janet
felt devastated when she heard the man’s firm tone. Does he like Tessa that much? Anger and sadness
rose in her chest when she heard Stefania’s angry voice coming from beside her. “Then, I’ll ensure she
never becomes part of our family!”
Janet felt like she had hope once more after hearing the woman’s words. I didn’t know Nicholas’ mother
despised Tessa so much. Finally, it seems like I might have a chance. Instead, the atmosphere turned
cold in the luxurious office. Janet was considering whether to speak up when Gregory pushed the door
open and entered the room. The young boy instantly noticed Janet’s presence and furrowed his brows
upon seeing her. What is this woman doing in Daddy’s office?
Before he could find an answer to his question, he realized that his grandmother was also in the room.
She seemed to be having an argument with his father. Gregory looked all over the place before
spreading his lips into a wide grin and jogging over to his grandmother. “Did you come here to see me,
Grandma?”
Gregory wrapped his arms around Stefania’s legs before tilting his head upward to look at her. The icy
atmosphere melted along with the presence of Gregory’s cuteness as Stefania lifted the young boy into
her arms as she beamed. “Of course, I’m here to see you. Do you want to go home with me? Your father
is always working. He never takes care of you.”
Gregory blinked a few times. He was smart enough to tell that his grandmother and father were probably

with her, he wouldn’t be able to help Tessa keep an eye on his father. “I want to stay with Daddy.
Grandma. Daddy takes great care of me. So, don’t worry about it.” Gregory continued to aci cute in front
of Stefania after that, and he bombarded Stefania with all sorts of compliments to ensure she wasn’t sad.
Stefania was no match for Gregory’s sweet-talking skills, and she admitted defeat after a short while.
She had no choice but to leave the company alone at the end of the day. Nicholas held Gregory in his
arms, and the exasperation in his eyes resurfaced when he saw that Janet was still there. “Is anything
else the matter?”
“No. You should take care of yourself. I’ll leave now.” Although Janet felt horrible inside, she forced a
smile onto her face as she turned around to leave. She still felt rather resentful even after she got home.
She couldn’t stop thinking about how Nicholas was about to abandon her to visit Tessa in another
country. No. I have to make him stay. But how can I make him stay? He’s losing his patience with me,
and I don’t think I have the ability to keep him around.
