Chapter 510
As Tessa hugged Gregory, she looked up and said with a smile, "It's settled then. You two will
sleep in one room tonight while Gregory and I will sleep in the other."
The corners of Nicholas' mouth twitched.
Once again, he was sure that his son was his love rival.
However, all he could do was look helplessly at his son, who was all snuggled in her arms, and
answered in resignation, "It’s fine. I'll sleep on the couch tonight."
Whatever the case was, he wouldn't sleep with Timothy.
Naturally, Timothy heard the disdain in Nicholas' tone and let out a soft snort. "As it happens, I
don't want to sleep with you either."
Tessa suddenly felt a headache coming when she saw the two men about to go head-to-head
with each other yet again.
Of course, she felt distressed for Nicholas too.
She glanced at the couch, which was on the shorter end, and persuaded, " rhe couch is too
small, so you should sleep with Timothy tonight."
"It's fine."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicholas insisted on sleeping on the couch; thus, it left Tessa with no choice but to take Gregory
to get ready for bed.
It was midnight and everyone was sound asleep.
That was the case with Tessa as she slept soundly with Gregory.
At this moment, the room door was slowly pushed open before a tall, dark shadow walked in.
Tessa wasn’t in a deep sleep, so she was awakened by the minuscule noise.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a dark shadow approaching, which caught her off
guard and caused her to reflexively ask in fear, "Who is it?"
"It’s me."
Nicholas responded, then squeezed onto the bed without saying a word.
Her frightened heart eased when she heard the familiar voice and caught a whiff of his familiar scent.
She stared at the man beside her in astonishment and asked, "Why are you here?"
"The couch outside is too small, and it's uncomfortable," he answered truthfully.
Then, she watched as he suddenly leaned into her ear and added in a low and charming voice, "And I
couldn't fall asleep without you."
Tessa's heart filled with sweetness when she heard Nicholas' moving statement.
Then, while she gently hugged Gregory, she scooted inward and answered in a lowered
voice, "Get some rest."
Nicholas decisively rested beside Tessa when he heard her unspoken invitation, then took advantage
of the situation to hold her in his arms.
"Let's sleep."
His voice was barely above a whisper as he lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
She nodded, placed one arm around Nicholas' waist, and closed her eyes to rest.
Under the moonlight, the two held each other and slept while Gregory slept sweetly beside them. The
heartwarming scene looked like it was out of an oil painting,
The next day, when Gregory woke up and saw his father hogging Tessa, it was no surprise that the
child was livid.
However, he was obedient enough not to disturb Nicholas and Tessa but simply glared at his father
with his arms crossed over his chest.
Bad Daddy. He said he would sleep on the couch by himself, but he snatched Miss Tessa while I was
asleep.
Perhaps Gregory’s gaze was too piercing because Nicholas woke up after a while.
"Bad Daddy!" Gregory immediately pouted and complained in a soft voice when he saw that
Nicholas was awake.
Unfortunately, Nicholas was not bothered by Gregory's complaints and looked down at Tessa,
who was still asleep.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs she slept soundly, she probably had a good dream; as she curled up the corners of her pink
lips in her sleep, the sight was so lovely that he couldn't help letting out a small smile as his gaze
watched her with adoration.
Then, he slowly got out of bed while carrying Gregory away, lest the little guy woke Tessa up.
After they finished washing up, the father and son walked out of the room.
In the living room, Timothy had woken up earlier to make breakfast for the family.
When he saw Nicholas emerging from his sister's room with Gregory in his arms, Timothy said
derisively, "I thought someone said they’re sleeping on the couch, but it turns out they couldn’t
suffer the tiniest inconvenience."
"It's mainly because your sister feels sorry for me." Nicholas sat on the couch with Gregory in his
lap as he replied arrogantly.
Timothy couldn't refute such a statement because it sounded like Tessa; therefore, he was
defeated this round.
In the end, he simply ignored Nicholas, called Gregory to his side, and started playing with the
little one.
Nicholas didn't mind being snubbed as he decided to check the news on the Internet
through his phone.
After a while, Tessa woke up and felt relieved seeing that her brother and Nicholas were sitting
harmoniously on the couch instead of taking jabs at each other.
