Hayley smiled when she spotted a strikingly handsome Nicholas standing by the side of the street at a
glance, but the smile froze on her face before she could drive over to greet him. As it turned out, she
hadn’t noticed Tessa standing side by side with Nicholas earlier due to the angle.
At this moment, Nicholas suddenly took a step back. Not only did Hayley see Tessa as a result, but she
even saw Tessa holding Nicholas’ arm and leaning her head on his shoulder!
Hayley looked at Tessa as if she wanted to devour Tessa at this very moment. Never did she expect that
Tessa would come back. In an instant, rage welled up in her chest.
Meanwhile, Tessa and Nicholas didn’t notice Hayley at all; they didn’t wait long before Edward drove the
car over. After getting into the car, Tessa nestled in Nicholas’ arms and said with a smile, “Let’s go pick
Greg up. I just texted Tim and told him to wait for us at the restaurant.”
Nicholas nodded before telling Edward to drive to Dynasty Gardens.
When Gregory saw Tessa afterward, he was overwhelmed with excitement. “When did you come back,
Miss Tessa?” After trotting toward Tessa and flinging his arms around her, he stared at her without

Tessa bent down and held the little boy in her arms before kissing him affectionately on the cheek. She
replied with a smile, “I came back this morning. Did you miss me?”
“Yeah, I did! I missed you so, so much,” Gregory replied in a childlike voice that melted Tessa’s heart; he
nodded vigorously while wrapping his arms around her neck.
Nicholas watched their interaction with a faint smile without disturbing them, knowing that Gregory had
been in low spirits these days because he missed Tessa.
As a result, Gregory latched onto her the entire time after that, and she allowed him to do what he
wanted.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Timothy was already sitting in the private room. While they were
having dinner, he asked, “How long are you gonna stay here this time, Tess?”
The instant he said that, Nicholas and Gregory turned to look at Tessa as well.
She replied with a faint smile, “I can stay here for a week.”
“That’s great!” Gregory clapped and cheered happily beside them. “Miss Tessa, can I stay with you every
day?”
“Sure.” Tessa affectionately tickled the little boy’s sharp nose.
Nicholas was smiling as well. Then, he said in a tender voice, “Well, I’ll find as much time as I can to
keep you guys company.”
“Okay.” Tessa’s smiling eyes fell upon him.
As the couple gazed at each other affectionately, a sweet scent seemed to emanate from them.
As Timothy looked to the left and to the right, he suddenly felt that he was being forced into watching his
sister and brother-in-law’s public display of affection again without being prepared for it. He interrupted
the couple’s eye contact with a cough before saying, “Tess, Nicholas, I know you two are a lovey-dovey
couple, but could you please consider my feelings as a single man? And besides, Greg is here. Don’t be
a bad influence on him.”
To his dismay, as soon as he said that, Gregory covered his eyes with both hands and contradicted his
words. “I didn’t see anything. Miss Tessa, don’t worry about me. Just keep doing what you’re doing with
Daddy.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAn astounded Timothy looked at Gregory with a look of distress before noting, “Greg, your mind has
been corrupted.”
Gregory laughed at the sight of Timothy’s theatrics.
After this, merry laughter was continuously heard from the private room, and the four had an extremely
pleasant dinner.
At last, Timothy asked about the performance. “Tess, will you be performing during your orchestra’s
performance this time?”
“Nope, I won’t. I’m only here to chaperone the orchestra this time,” Tessa explained, though her voice
carried a note of unconcealable disappointment. “And besides, how could I have the opportunity to
perform? I’m not considered a full-fledged violinist yet.”
When he saw Tessa’s feigned cheerfulness, Timothy felt somewhat sorry for her before he encouraged,
“Well, you don’t have the opportunity now, but it’s okay. I believe that by honing your skills little by little,
you’ll definitely be able to amaze the world with your performance in the future.”
