Chapter 1090 Family Portrait
“Do you still have a digital copy of this photo?” Nicholas asked Alina as he pointed to the
photo. He planned on using it as his phone wallpaper.
When Gregory saw the photo, he grew quite jealous. He quickly tugged on Tessa’s hand
and whined, “Mommy, when will we take a photo together? I want to take one with my
baby sister, just like Daddy did!” I can’t let Daddy be the only one who gets close to my
baby sister, or she will not want me around when she’s born!
Tessa had no idea what was going on in the little boy’s mind and simply thought he was
jealous. Bemused, she looked up at Alina and asked, “Are you free today? I’d like to take a
photo with my kid.”
“Yes, of course! I’ve got nothing going on anyway,” Alina said, nodding enthusiastically.
She glanced over at Gregory, and the more she appraised him, the more she found him
endearing. He had delicately chiseled features. Clearly, his parents’ stunning genetics had
been passed down to him.
“Mrs. Sawyer, your son is absolutely adorable! You’re so lucky to have a little angel like
him,” she praised wholeheartedly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTessa beamed upon hearing this. After all, any mother would want their child to be the
object of praise.
After a round of pleasantries, Alina got to work.
Gregory wanted photos with his baby sister, just like Nicholas, so Alina took them for him.
Following that, she took several photos of Gregory and Tessa grinning at each other and a
few more of them holding hands.
The photos had a different aesthetic from the vogue-esque photos that Alina had taken
the day before. Nevertheless, she was inspired by Tessa’s motherly love and Gregory’s
childlike wonder and worked to capture these candid moments with her camera.
In between shots, she had Nicholas and Timothy join in the fun. “This is perfect!” she
exclaimed as she stared at the photos in her camera.
Nicholas and Timothy looked like dashing knights in armor as each stood on either side of
Tessa. The photos had brought out the two men’s varying characters, but it didn’t distract
from their towering builds and good looks. It was hard to believe that they weren’t runway
models.
As for Gregory, he was positioned in front of all three of the adults in the frame, and he
wore a wide grin.
This photo was like a mini family portrait.
Tessa stared at the photo. She had never felt happier than at that moment, knowing she
was surrounded by those she loved.
The morning passed in the blink of an eye, and when noon rolled around, Tessa started
yawning.
Without waiting for Nicholas to point it out, Alina took note of Tessa’s exhaustion and
immediately wrapped up the photo shoot, then began to leave. “I’ll have these photos
developed later. I’ll meet you at the same place tomorrow to hand the photos over. As for
the fee, I’ll lump it together with the last bill.”
“Alright, then. Thanks, Alina,” Tessa said with a nod.
The quartet watched Alina leave, then went to a restaurant for lunch. They strolled around
the area that afternoon and did not return until it was dinnertime.
Gregory was already dozing off when they got home, so Tessa helped him wash up and

On the other hand, Timothy and Nicholas were still in high spirits despite the long day.
They sat in the living room and had a casual discussion about the company.
It wasn’t until much later that Tessa came downstairs, having already tucked Gregory in,
and saw her brother and husband chatting animatedly in the living room.
Timothy noticed her and said, “Tessa, when did you get down here? Is Greg asleep?”
“Yes,” she replied, nodding. Now that they had discovered her presence, she walked over
to the couch and sat next to Nicholas. “So, what were you two talking about?”
“The new company,” Timothy answered frankly.
It was only then that Tessa remembered he was planning to set up a branch in Vienna. She
straightened up in her seat and asked in concern, “How’s everything going? Did you find a
suitable location for the company?”
“Yes, and now we’re waiting for a team to go over before we officially open for business.”
“Don’t you need to refurbish the place?” Tessa asked doubtfully.
He chuckled. “No, the office is more or less ready for use.”
“Huh. Looks like you’ve got it all sorted, then,” Tessa smiled. Then, she said curiously,
“Where did you say your new company is going to be located? I’ll be sure to drop by when
we get back.”
