Always Been Yours

Chapter 1501

CHAPTER 1501 MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Fortunately, it did not take long before she composed herself once more. Although there was no wedding ceremony to celebrate her marriage to Nicholas, they lived a happy and blissful life together.

A short while later, they decided to return to their respective homes after finally choosing the wedding dresses.

Sabrina watched Tessa climb into the car and leave the premises. However, she did not leave immediately. Instead, once she was confident that Tessa was out of sight, she whisked out her phone from her bag and sent the photos she secretly took earlier to Nicholas.

"Nicholas, I've accomplished the task you gave me. Tess chose this wedding dress."

When Nicholas received the message, he was handling some documents in the office. He glanced at his phone screen, admiring the picture of his pure and lovely wife in a wedding dress. The look in his eyes was so gentle that a person could drown in them.

When Tessa returned home, Andrew immediately approached her as soon as she climbed out of the car. "Young Madam, the housekeeper who works for Old Mrs. Reinhart is here."

"Did she state the reason for her visit?" Tessa asked with a frown.

He shook his head. "I asked, but she did not say. She only told me that she would wait for your return."

When she heard that, she entered the living room with a slight frown.

Inside the living room, the housekeeper immediately stood up from the couch when she saw Tessa enter the room. She nervously called out, "Madam Tessa."

"What's the reason for your visit?" Tessa queried and took a seat on the couch.

The housekeeper answered honestly, "I came here to deliver some gifts under Old Mrs. Reinhart's orders."

The housekeeper didn’t wait for Tessa’s response before she started carrying several gift boxes beside her and placing them on the coffee table in front of Tessa.

"Old Mrs. Reinhart heard that President Reinhart will be getting married in a month, so she specially prepared a wedding gift for him. As for this gold locket and necklace, she heard that you've gotten pregnant again. She told me that the necklace is for the baby to wear once the baby is born."

She explained the presents on the table in sequence. Throughout her speech, she constantly shot anxious glances at Tessa. She was well aware that Tessa and Timothy were estranged from Amber due to certain events in the past and was rightfully afraid that these presents would be harshly rejected.

She gulped nervously and took a deep breath. Then, when she saw that Tessa wasn’t saying anything after waiting for several seconds, she mustered her courage and continued speaking, "By the way, Madam Tessa, Old Mrs. Reinhart also has a message for you. She understands that you and President Reinhart do not like her. Therefore, to prevent the joyous mood from being ruined, she will not be attending President Reinhart's wedding. Therefore, you and President Reinhart do not need to worry

about her attendance."

After she listened to the housekeeper, Tessa remained silent for some time before calmly saying, "Okay. You may return now."

Then, she gestured for Andrew to send the housekeeper away.

Tessa was the only person left in the living room. She stared at the presents on the table and was flooded with a complicated feeling.

Later in the evening, Nicholas immediately noticed the gifts on the table when he came home from work. He questioned, "What are these?"

"These are wedding gifts for Timothy from Old Mrs. Reinhart. As for the gold locket and necklace, that's a gift for the baby," Tessa explained honestly without hiding anything.

Nicholas nodded and noticed that she was in low spirits. He quickly understood that her emotions were influenced by her estrangement from her grandmother.

"If you don't like them, you can just send them back," he suggested gently. Then, he walked over and pulled her into his embrace.

She leaned her head against the crook of his shoulder and shook her head slightly. "Forget it. Just leave them there. If I send them back, they'll just be returned to me again the next day."

That was the truth. Over the past two years, Amber often sent gifts to Gordon. She also occasionally sent some gifts to Tessa, as though she was trying to atone for her past mistakes.

In the beginning, Tessa refused to accept the gifts and sent them back to Amber unopened. Yet, the gifts that were sent back were placed in front of the door again the next day.

After a while, she stopped caring.

Even so, she knew that she would never accept Amber’s presence in her life. If Amber had not been an accomplice to the tragedies in her life, her mother would not have suffered such an early death.

Nicholas gave her some advice, "Since she sent us gifts, we should treat her as a guest. We can send her an invitation, and she can attend the wedding if she wants to. If she doesn't want to... Well, then, she doesn't need to come."

Tessa pondered for some time. In the end, she felt that his suggestion was reasonable and nodded in agreement.

They chatted until Gregory returned home from school. Then, the entire family shared a warm dinner.

After dinner, Nicholas retired to the study to continue his work. Tessa helped Gregory with his homework, and Gordon amused himself with his toys beside them.
