bedtime story with her soothing voice.
After she read a story, she looked down at the little guy in her arms. She didn’t realize when he had
fallen asleep, but she found his sleeping face adorable.
“Good night.” Tessa kissed Gregory’s forehead. Finally, she turned off the light and fell asleep with the
little boy in her embrace.
…
The next morning, Nicholas still had not woken up when Tessa got up with Gregory.

Since she also wanted Nicholas to sleep more, she took Gregory to have breakfast first.
During their meal, Gregory approached Tessa mysteriously. “Miss Tessa, I just saw that the flowers in the
back garden have bloomed, and they’re lovely. I’ll take you to see them after breakfast, okay?”
Naturally, she wouldn’t decline his invitation.
Hence, the two went to the back garden after they were done with their breakfast.
The botany was quite large, and many rare species of flowers were planted inside. The flowers were
visually intermingled in a picturesque disorder. Clearly, these flowers were well-tended by someone.
Tessa simply felt relaxed and at peace as she smelled the floral fragrance of flowers in the air, especially
when she saw the dewdrops on the petals of each of these blooming flowers. At that moment, she felt all
the more wonderful.
“For you, Miss Tessa.” Gregory picked a red rose out of nowhere and handed it to Tessa like a gift.
She liked the flower very much, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.
“Greg, let’s pick some flowers back to decorate the room.”
“Okay! What kind of flowers do you want? I’ll help you pick them.” Gregory looked at Tessa earnestly.
And thus, the two picked a bouquet of flowers and returned to prune them. They were planning to
arrange them in a vase.
Since it was time for Gregory’s class, he was studying with his tutor in the upstairs room. Hence, Tessa
pruned the flowers by herself in the living room.
Also, Tessa planned to wake Nicholas up for breakfast after she was done arranging the flowers in a
while.
At this moment, the sound of the doorbell rang from outside, and Andrew went to open the door.

her hand. “You must be here to look for Master Nicholas. He’s still resting.”
“It’s alright. I can wait for him in the living room,” Janet said as she made her way into the living hall.
After she entered, she saw Tessa sitting and arranging flowers on the table on the side at a glance.
Inexplicably, she felt Tessa looked somewhat familiar. However, she did not think much about it and
misunderstood her as a maid. In turn, she felt that ‘the young maid’ was quite beautiful.
Sure enough, Tessa did not know what Janet was thinking.
When she saw that a guest had visited the house, she immediately stopped what she was doing and
planned to greet the guest first.
“Hello.” She smiled and looked at Janet.
Janet nodded lightly as she said, “Go on with whatever you’re doing.”
Tessa blinked when she heard those perfunctory words. However, her voice rang in her ears again
before she could react.
