For a moment, a sweet vibe permeated the surroundings from Nicholas and Tessa.
Later, when the server came and served the dishes, they were all Tessa’s favorites.
Nicholas was also very attentive to her during the meal, and the smile on the corners of his lips never
faded away.
“Eat more. Their shrimp dish is very famous.”
As he spoke, he gave her another piece of shrimp.
She observed him while eating the dishes on her plate.
When he noticed her gaze, he asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I feel that you’re acting rather strangely, yet I also feel like you’re in a good mood.” Tessa expressed her
thoughts; however, she didn’t expect him to acknowledge her words.
“I’m indeed in a good mood today.”
“Did something good happen?” She looked at him curiously.
Unfortunately for her, he only remained silent for a long time as he looked back at her.
When Tessa saw this, her heart was aroused by curiosity. Thus, she urged, “Stop looking at me, and tell
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtme what’s the good news.”
“There’s no good news.” Nicholas laughed. Then, he put more food on her plate and said warmly, “I
brought you here today as a reward for you.”
“A reward for me?” She repeated after him, utterly puzzled. Therefore, she could not help but ask, “Why
do you want to reward me?”
Once again, he only gave her a mysterious smile without saying anything. Then, he changed the topic
and urged, “Eat up, or the food will get cold.”
Tessa did not ask further questions after she sensed that he didn’t want to talk about it. She believed that
Nicholas would naturally tell her when he wanted to.
After they were done with their dinner, they decided to walk around the street for a while, and they didn’t
return home until the night grew darker.
It did not cross their minds that they would see Gregory sitting on the sofa with his cheeks puffed up as
soon as they entered the living room. And when Gregory saw them, his downcast eyes immediately lit
up.
However, Gregory seemed to have thought of something again afterward, and he huffed in anger. Then,
he crossed his arms in front of his chest, turned his head, and looked away from Nicholas and Tessa.
Tessa knew what Gregory was on his mind when she saw him deliberately ignoring them.
So, she loosened her grip on Nicholas and walked over to Gregory with a doting smile. After that, despite
knowing the cause of his anger, she asked, “Greg, why are you angry? Tell me, who has upset you? I’ll
help you punish that person.”
Gregory could not stand it anymore when he heard this. So, he immediately complained aggrievedly. “It’s
Daddy! He’s bad! He promised me that he would bring you and me for dinner tonight. But in the end, I
only got to have dinner alone with Mr. Timothy!”
Tessa felt that the whole situation was hilarious; however, she truly liked the feeling of being missed by
Gregory. Finally, she took him in her arms and sat on the sofa. Once again, she heard Gregory grumbling
in grievance.
“I’ve already let Daddy spend time with you at night time. But he still wants your attention all the time. He
is too greedy!”
Gregory wrapped his arms around her neck and said with a pout, “Miss Tessa, let’s ignore Daddy, okay?”
Nicholas’ face slightly darkened when he heard this from his position by the side of the mother-son duo.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe also suddenly felt that Gregory wasn’t his son but was his love rival.
However, it was impossible for Tessa to ignore Nicholas.
So, she hugged Gregory and coaxed him by saying, “This time, it really was your Daddy who went back
on his words. How about this? We’ll take you with us no matter where we go in the future.”
Even so, Gregory pursed his lips as he was still very unhappy. Meanwhile, Tessa was also very patient
as she continued coaxing him.
In the end, it was only after Tessa agreed to many conditions that Gregory finally had a smile on his face
again.
Later, they played for a while then she took him for a bath since it was already relatively late.
After the bath, Tessa intended to go downstairs to pour herself a glass of water. However, she did not
expect to see Timothy massaging his legs when she passed by his room.
“Does your leg hurt again?” She pushed open the door and walked in. Then, she squatted in front of
Timothy with a concerned look on her face and directly started helping him massage his legs.
Timothy was slightly startled. Then, he nodded and said, “It does ache a little bit.”
“Have you not taken care of your legs and regularly soaked them in a medicinal bath recently?” she
asked.
