Chapter 283
“Greg, Grandma is here. Are you still”
It was at this moment when a gentle female voice permeated the air.
Everyone in the room turned to look, and when they saw Stefania, Tessa was rooted to the spot.
In the same way, when Stefania saw Tessa, Stefania forgot what she was here for. She just froze in place, and it took a while for her to regain her senses.
She couldn’t help but wonder, Why did Tessa come here? Moreover, she has also brought her brother with her to play with Gregory as if they were a family and not strangers.
This would not do!
Stefania was a little annoyed. Tessa clearly promised her that she would no longer have any contact with Gregory and Nicholas, and she violated their agreement again.
However, her son and grandson were all staring at her. She couldn’t be too rude and question Tessa in front of them.
She still chose to be more amiable and smiled at Tessa. “Oh, you’re here too, Miss Reinhart?”
Tessa also nodded at her. “Mrs. Sawyer.”
“Grandma.” Gregory looked at Stefania with a smile and called out sweetly.
The moment Stefania saw Gregory, she felt so distressed that an obedient child such as him was used in a scheme by those vicious women like Roselle.
Those people were wretched!
She stepped forward and touched Gregory’s face in distress. “Does it hurt?”
Gregory shook his head. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
“Do you have anything you want to eat? I’ll buy it for you. If you have any requests, feel free to ask,” a distressed Stefania said.
“No need, grandma. Miss Tessa promised to cook delicious food for me, and her cooking is super delicious!” Gregory boasted.
He raised his head and looked at Tessa happily. In his eyes, no one could match Tessa’s cooking skills.
Tessa smiled in embarrassment and did not speak.
However, the smile on Stefania’s face suddenly froze because she hadn’t asked anyone to investigate Tessa recently. When did Gregory taste the food that Tessa made?
Could it be that Tessa showed up here, not by accident but because she already knew what was going on and had been keeping contact with them all these while?
Tessa picked up the kettle next to her and said, “I’m going outside to grab some water.”
Not long after, Stefania also rose to her feet and walked out of the ward. She was standing at the door waiting for Tessa to come back.
Just when Tessa was about to enter the door, Stefania shouted, “Ms. Reinhart, Nicholas is over there with Gregory. You are not needed now. I want to have a good chat with you.”
When Tessa saw her expression, Tessa also guessed her intentions. She couldn’t hide it anyway, so she nodded. “Okay, Mrs. Sawyer, what do you have to say?”
At a corner of the hospital, Edward was holding a document bag and was about to look for Nicholas when he saw two people at the door of the ward. The atmosphere seemed to be a little off.
Edward subconsciously retreated to the side to lean against the wall and thought, Is there something between Madam and Miss Reinhart?
At this point, he could sense that there was something wrong with Stefania’s expression.
Stefania unconsciously touched the bracelet on her hand, but she did not have a cordial tone. “Miss Reinhart, you must have forgotten what you promised me.”
Tessa said, “I didn’t forget.”
“You didn’t? Well, I want to ask what you are doing now then, Miss Reinhart? Greg is injured, and you knew about it before me, his grandma. If you didn’t forget, why would Greg have the chance to eat what you have cooked for him?” Stefania queried with anger.
Tessa did not answer.
Stefania sneered. “Miss Reinhart, you came here to take care of Greg this time and I am grateful to you, but this is not a reason why you can break your promise. What did you promise me in the beginning? You promised that you would leave Greg and Nicholas? It didn’t take long. I thought that you were someone who meant what she
said, but I didn’t expect that I still overestimated you. What’s the difference between you and those vain women?”
She sneered and continued, “Yes, there is indeed a difference. You didn’t take the money that I gave you at the beginning and yet you have been waiting here. I hope you at least have some self-awareness that it is impossible for you to enter the Sawyer Family. Gregory is still young, and when he encounters a different elder, he likes to stick to her. When he grows up, he will naturally know what the right choice is. At that point, you will still have to leave. Women should not be too dependent on a child, or a man.”
