    Chapter 644


    Stefania didn’t realize the odd look on J’s face as she was busy scrutinizing Nichs silently


    before she parted her lips to question him once more. “Tell me, what are you working so hard for?”


    Nichs looked away from J after hearing his mother’s words. “I promised to bring Gregory


    overseas,” ne uttered,


    When Stefania heard that Nichs 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.”


    Nichs frowned at her words without responding to them. “Don’t you think you’re being really biased


    toward 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 Nichs 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 coulde up with. Nichs felt a headacheing 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.


    J 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 voiceing from beside her. “Then, I’ll


    ensure she never bes part of our family!”


    J felt like she had hope once more after hearing the woman’s words. I didn’t know Nichs’


    mother despised Tessa so much. Finally, it seems like I might have a chance. Instead, the atmosphere


    turned cold in the luxurious office. J was considering whether to speak up when Gregory pushed


    the door open and entered the room. The young boy instantly noticed J’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 ce before


    spreading his lips into a wide grin and jogging over to his grandmother. “Did youe 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 fighting over him. However, he didn’t want to leave with his grandmother. If he went


    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 ofpliments 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 thepany alone at the end of the day. Nichs held Gregory in his


    arms, and the exasperation in his eyes resurfaced when he saw that J was still there. “Is anything


    else the matter?”


    “No. You should take care of yourself. I’ll leave now.” Although J 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 Nichs 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.
