That Can Be Arranged

Chapter 220

Chapter 220 Gregory opened his mouth and swallowed his questions. Then, he answered honestly, “Nobody. I sneaked out and came here.” Upon hearing those words, Tessa was shocked, and her expression immediately darkened in response. “Do you know how dangerous it is for you to run out on your own!? There are many human traffickers out there who specialize in kidnapping children like you!” He blinked aggrievedly. “I know I was wrong. I should not have made you worry, and I won’t do it again. But, can you please don’t refuse to meet me? Miss Tessa, I miss you. You said you are not free, so I came to visit you on my own. You can do whatever you want, and I’ll just watch from the side. I promise I won’t disturb you.” His words rendered her speechless for a moment. She was not busy. Rather, her unemployed self was very free. She had so much time on her hands that it was driving her crazy! The only reason she said that was as a perfunctory answer to his question earlier. It never occurred to her that he would run here on his own because of something she said.

I wonder if Nicholas knows that this child snuck out on his own. The villa is very far from here. Won’t he search around like crazy once he discovers that Greg is missing? Sighing, she poured a glass of juice for him and spoke in a lukewarm manner. “Stay here. I’m going to my room. I’ll come and keep you company in a short while.” He nodded obediently. Even so, he couldn’t help feeling sadness wash over him. It was clear that her attitude toward him had changed. He watched silently as she returned to her room and closed the door behind her, cutting off his sight. After entering her room, she took out her phone. She took a few deep breaths before she finally tapped on Nicholas’ name to initiate the phone call. It didn’t take long for Nicholas to answer the phone. His cold voice sounded from the other end. “What is it?” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Greg came to my house on his own. You should come and pick him up.” She immediately ended the call after delivering the message coldly. When Nicholas heard that Gregory had snuck out to visit Tessa, his expression immediately darkened. This child is getting bolder and bolder by the minute. He keeps sneaking out of the house. Not to mention, he agreed that he would not disturb Tessa, only to turn around and run to her house. Be that as it may, it was certain that something was wrong with Tessa’s attitude. She used to be so nice to Greg. It didn’t look like she was just acting nice. Besides, it’s beneficial for Timothy’s company if she builds up a relationship with the Sawyer Family. Why is she pulling away all of a sudden? No, that’s not right. Her words might be firm and cold, but they were also a little strange. It gives off the feeling… that she is forcing herself to do this. Why does she have to do something that goes against her wishes? In any case, he was not worried about leaving Gregory in her care. Before leaving the company, he instructed Edward, “Investigate who Tessa met recently and what happened.” Edward had long accustomed to the concern that Nicholas showed Tessa. Thus, he hurriedly nodded. “Will do, President Sawyer.” Ten minutes later, Nicholas arrived at Tessa’s door. He looked at Gregory, who was sitting on the sofa dejectedly, and his expression involuntarily darkened. Even so, it would not be right of him to reprimand the child in front of Tessa, so he faintly said, “I came to pick the child up.” Gregory turned pale at those words. During the time he spent here, Tessa had not said much to him. She simply sat there and kept him company. Even if Miss Tessa doesn’t want to be with me, I don’t want to leave. He looked at his father pleadingly. “Can I stay a little longer, please?” Tessa coldly said, “Since you’re here, President Sawyer, then please take him away. Please watch your child properly in the future. Don’t let him wander around on his own. He might have safely arrived at my house this time, but what about the next?” “Miss Tessa…” He widened his eyes in disbelief. Does Miss Tessa not want to see me anymore? Thinking that, he quickly climbed off the sofa and ran over to her. “Miss Tessa, why? Why don’t you want me anymore? Miss Tessa, I won’t cause trouble or annoy you again. Please don’t hate me. I won’t come

to your house to visit you anymore.” His aggrieved eyes reddened, and tears flowed out once more.
