Always Been Yours

Chapter 62

There was no stopping Gregory’s fierce waterworks. He sobbed and sniveled, his button nose reddening as his breath grew more ragged.

The whole family thought their hearts might shatter there and then.

Even Nicholas couldn’t bear the sight of this and he patiently tried to talk some sense into the crying child. “Greg, be a good boy and listen to me. Of course Miss Reinhart likes you, but she has her own life as well, and you can’t force someone to stay. Do you understand?”

This only spurred Gregory on, for he sobbed even more in devastation. He had tipped his head back, his little mouth parting wide as he cried and shrieked his voice hoarse.

To one side, Stefania and Tobias felt as if someone had stabbed a dagger through their hearts. They finally understood why Gregory was throwing such an ultimatum; as it turned out, this was all because of Tessa! That woman is a bad apple who probably has ill intentions against our family.
