    Tessa sighed. He’s just. Forget it. He’s just being nice, and he did help me.


    After they bought the cake, Scott sent her home.


    “You should go home now, Mr. Brooks.” Tessa waved him goodbye at the neighborhood’s entrance.


    Scott nodded, “You go in first. I’ll leave after I see you off.”


    Tessa went into her neighborhood with her cake in hand. After she disappeared from his sight, Scott


    left.


    Tessa turned on her house’s light, and the darkness slunk away. She put the cake in the fridge and


    went to the couch in the living room. The silence in the house made her feel sad all of a sudden. I


    wonder if they havended.


    The house was merry while they were around, but now that she was alone, it seemed empty. She


    sighed. Well, guess this is what happens if you’re too happy. Once the people are gone, you’ll start to


    feel lonely. It hadn’t even been half a day, and she was already missing them.


    Ever since they got onto the ne, Gregory had been feeling down. Hey in his father’s arms and


    didn’t say a word. Nichs wasn’t too bothered about it. He knew the boy would be fine once he got


    over it.


    Timothy looked heartbroken, however. He extended his hand and smiled. “Wanna y with me, Greg?”


    “y by yourself, Mr. Timothy. I am not in the mood for it.” The boy shook his head, and he sounded


    down.


    Timothy cocked his eyebrow. He knew the answer, but he still asked, “And why aren’t you in the


    mood?”


    “I miss Miss Tessa. I don’t want to leave her.” He puckered his lips, and tears welled up in his eyes.


    Timothy looked at him, surprised. He’s not Tessa’s son, but why does he want to be with her so much?


    I thought kids hate their stepmothers, so why is it different when ites to him?


    Timothy couldn’t figure it out, but he didn’t think deeper on it. Maybe it’s fate. Since Gregory was


    looking sad, he got an idea to cheer him up. “Gregory, do you want to know what Tessa was like when


    she was little?”


    Gregory blinked and stared at him dumbly.


    Timothy continued, “She was awesome when she was little. She’s smart, caring, and she’s great at


    fighting.”


    Gregory got interested immediately. “Tell me more about her childhood, Mr. Timothy.”


    Even Nichs looked at him curiously.


    “She has been strong evver since she was a kid. When I was bullied, she would go straight to the


    bullies and fight them. She wasn’t scared even though the bullies were bigger than she was, and her


    courage always scared everyone away. In the end, nobody bullied me anymore, since they were


    scared of her.”


    Timothy had a look of reminiscence on his face, and a smile curled his lips. They were all great


    memories, after all. “Tessa used to work part-time, but she was always in the top three of her year. The


    teachers loved her, and she could do anything for her friends. Her teacher always said she only got


    held back because of our background.”N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    Timothy started sounding sad. “She used to be my mother and sister. When I got really sick at one


    time, she went and begged that man to save me, since I am his son, but that man chased her out and


    ignored us.”


    Timothy only wanted to talk about the happy times and cheer Gregory up, but for some reason, when


    he met Nichs’ gaze, he told him everything about Tessa.


    Gregory had no idea about the heavy weight behind that past. All he thought was that Tessa was super


    awesome.
