CHAPTER 1505 SHE DID IT FOR THE MONEY
Andrew could tell that she didn't want to talk about it, so he did not pursue the matter. Instead, he just reported the matter to Nicholas.
When Nicholas heard about Tessa's state, he knew that Tessa was worried about Gregory.
It was precisely because of this that Nicholas went back early that afternoon.
The instant he strode into the living room, he saw her listlessly sitting on the couch with a heavy heart.
He walked over, distressed, and pulled her into his arms. "Are you still thinking about Gregory?"
Tessa nodded, and her head wandered to the conversation she had had with Gregory this morning.
"I was right. Gregory doesn't want his biological mother."
As she said this, she felt even more depressed.
Nicholas couldn't bear to sit here and watch her suffer, so he coaxed, "Why don't I tell Gregory the truth? You didn't know about his situation back then. I believe he will understand."
Tessa was moved by this, but she felt that it was better for her to tell Gregory herself.
Therefore, she rejected his suggestion.
"It's okay. I'll talk to him myself."
Nicholas noticed her resolute expression, so he did not force the issue further. Instead, he would only intervene if the conversation did not go well.
However, Tessa had no idea that he had this in mind.
When she saw that it was time to pick Gregory up from school, she dragged Nicholas along with her.
Outside the school gate, Gregory was delighted to see his parents picking him up together.
Thus, he excitedly shared the exciting things that happened in school throughout the journey.
Tessa was just listening attentively.
Her behavior made Gregory feel that his mother was acting rather odd.
Later, the family of three had a meal together.
When Gregory saw that Tessa was occupied with Gordon, he immediately took this opportunity to look for his father.
"Daddy, did any strange woman come to look for Mommy recently?"
The way he asked was so tactful that Nicholas didn't know how to react for a while.
He looked at Gregory suspiciously. "What woman?"
"My… My biological mother."
Gregory looked at Nicholas anxiously once he finished speaking as if surprised that his father was so daft.
Nicholas was rendered speechless by his gaze.
In the end, Gregory continued before he could speak, "I don't care if that woman is my biological mother. I only have one Mommy. You're not allowed to see that woman. She is bad!"
The little guy paused. Then, as if he had thought of something, he reminded, "Also, get someone to stop that woman from disturbing Mommy."
Nicholas was both happy and worried for his wife when he saw Gregory being so anxious.
It seemed like his son was indeed somewhat repulsed by his biological mother.
If Tessa listened to him and told Gregory about her identity, there was a high probability that things might not end well.
At that thought, Nicholas did his best to hide his true feelings and looked at his son seriously. "Why do you dislike her so terribly?"
"I… just don't like her."
Gregory pursed his lips; his voice was dull.
When Nicholas heard this, he felt that there was something he didn't know about.
He gave it a brief thought before pressing the issue, "Can you tell Daddy why you hate her?
Gregory remained silent and did not answer.
Nevertheless, Nicholas just waited quietly and didn't push.
After a while, the little guy's low voice sounded in the study.
"When I was young, I asked Great-Grandpa about my mother. Great-Grandpa said that the woman gave birth to me because of money."
Nicholas was stunned to hear this. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Then, Gregory's voice sounded angry.
"That woman abandoned me for money, and now there's definitely something fishy going on since she's back. She will definitely find Mommy. So, Daddy, you can't let that woman find Mummy. We have to protect her."
Nicholas was at a loss for words when he finally unearthed the truth from Gregory.
Frankly, he did not expect his grandfather to dig such a deep grave for him.
As he thought about this, in addition to Gregory's misunderstanding of his wife, if he told Gregory the truth now, he might not be able to accept it.
"I see. Don't worry. I'll make sure your Mommy is well protected, and no one will be able to bother her."
