Chapter 651


    Chapter 651 Made Him Stay


    “I’m not suitable for this task. I’ve left the troop, so I shouldn’t meddle in this,” Nichs said. Although


    Gregory couldn’t understand what the two adults were talking about, he started urging his father to


    make a move when he saw that it was about time for their flight. “Let’s go, Daddy. We’re running out of


    time,” Gregory said. Gregory didn’t want to bete as he was eager to see Tessa.


    J’s expression darkened when she heard the kid’s voice. She knew Nichs was going to meet


    Tessa that night, so she intentionally exposed Cole’s whereabouts to create opportunities for herself.


    Nichs had no idea about any of this, of course. He nced at the time to realize that they were


    about to bete. “Well, I can’t help with this. You should contact one of your higher-ups and get them to


    send some people over,” Nichs replied before preparing to leave.


    But J wasn’t going to let him leave so easily. “You’re right. But I don’t think there’s enough time to


    contact the higher-ups now. Forget it. I’ll go on my own. I should be fine.” J attempted to use


    reverse psychology as she pretended to agree before turning around to leave. However, her footsteps


    were plodding as she was sure that Nichs wouldn’t allow her to go just like that. She was right—his


    voice sounded in her ear just after she took a few steps.


    “Wait,” he said.

    “Are you going to help, Nichs?” J turned around excitedly, her eyes twinkling as she looked at


    Nichs. He nodded as he thought, I still have two days until Tessa’s performance. I should be able to


    make it in time. Gregory seemed to have understood some of the conversations, for he stuck his lips


    into a pout. “I don’t want to stay. I’m going to meet Miss Tessa. You agreed to leave today, Daddy. Miss


    Tessa will be so disappointed if she doesn’t see us tomorrow.”


    J was fuming when she heard the kid’s words. I worked so hard just to convince Nichs to stay.


    I’m not going to allow someone else to ruin this. “Be a good boy, Gregory. Daddy has other important


    stuff to do,” J snapped at him rather impatiently.


    “Is there anything more important than Miss Tessa?” Gregory shot J a re. This woman’s the


    reason I can’t meet Miss Tessa, he thought. J could sense the hostilitying from the young boy,


    and her gaze darkened for a second before she put on her usual kind and loving expression. “You’re


    still young, Gregory. You don’t understand how these two things arepletely different matters. You


    can’tpare one to another,” she said.


    After that, she no longer talked to the kid. Instead, she turned to Nichs worriedly. “I think we need to


    take action to look for Cole immediately. I’m afraid the situation might turn for the worse if we keep


    wasting time here.” Nichs had thought about this as well, so he nodded in agreement.


    Gregory assumed that he wasn’t going to meet Tessa at this point, and tears began to well up in his


    eyes just at the thought of not seeing her. “I don’t want to stay here. I want Miss Tessa! Daddy, you


    promised that you would bring me to her,” he whined.


    J felt the urge to strangle Gregory when she saw the kid crying. Her gaze was dark and eerie.


    However, Nichs didn’t realize the peculiar look in her eyes. Instead, he knelt down and spoke in a


    gentle voice. “Stop crying. I’m not telling you to stay. I’ll get Edward to send you over first, and I’ll join


    you guys once I’m done here,” Nichs exined.


    Gregory stopped crying when he heard that he didn’t have to stay. He wiped his tears off and sniffed a


    few times before speaking. “You’ll have to stick to your promise, Daddy. You have toe.”


    After sending Gregory off, Nichs pulled his phone out to start dealing with Cole’s disappearance. He


    led J to the study in order to better understand the story. J had to contain her excitement as


    she nced at her surroundings in the bright study. I did it. I made Nichs stay! I’m even standing in


    his private space!


    At that moment, J swore to herself—one day, I will be able to openly walk in and out of all Nichs’


    private spaces. Of course, Nichs didn’t know what she was thinking about, so he simply gestured for


    her to sit on the couch before getting to the main point. “When did you lose contact with Cole? What


    was the n that he had made before disappearing? Tell me everything,” Nichs ordered.


    J quickly gathered her emotions before she told him everything that she knew about the situation.
