Always Been Yours

The Tompkins nodded and offered an invitation to Tessa and Timothy.

"Once Henry is better, the two of you and Mr. Sawyer should come over for a meal. I'll be cooking my best dishes," Mrs. Tompkins said.

"That sounds great. We'll be there."

Tessa smiled as she accepted the invitation.

Nicholas had done a lot for them this time.

"Timothy could have resolved this matter himself even without me. However, with my help, the issue was resolved faster with fewer risks of accidents."

Nicholas shook his head as he analyzed the situation for her.

Tessa nodded in response, but she still felt very grateful.
