Chapter 872 Keeping an Eye on Mommy
“I have a few kinds I need to work on ‘The Four Seasons.’ Do you mind teaching me?”
“Mr. Brooks, you’re really amazing. It feels like these are just minor problems when you explain them to
me.”
For a period of time, there was only Susan’s excited voice at the dining table.
On the other hand, Scott had been patient with Susan, as she was an acquaintance of Tessa’s. However,
it was Gregory who couldn’t take it any longer. He tugged at Tessa’s sleeve and whispered, “Mommy, this
lady is so noisy.”
Tessa shared the same thought but could only endure it, as she didn’t think that Scott was feeling
annoyed at Susan judging by his face. “Let’s just eat.” She gently stroked Gregory’s head, as though she
was soothing the boy.
Although the mother and son were talking to each other very quietly, Susan had overheard their
conversation. Nevertheless, she pretended to not have heard them and continued to talk to Scott.

much. However, unbeknownst to her, her actions here had left a bad impression on Scott.

Throughout their meal, Tessa and Scott became silent while Susan continued to carry the conversation
herself. Later that evening, they left the restaurant after finishing their meal. Ignoring Susan, Scott smiled
at Tessa and said, “Come, I’ll send you and Greg home.”
Tessa didn’t reject his offer, as she could see Scott was taking the opportunity to leave Susan behind.
As she watched the car gradually disappear from her sight, Susan, who was left behind, gritted her teeth
in anger. Curses. Whether it’s in the past or now, Scott has never thought highly of me. Naturally, both
Tessa and Scott knew not of what Susan was thinking.
When the car arrived at their destination, Tessa got out of the car with Gregory in tow and said their
goodbyes. “Goodbye, Mr. Brooks. I’m really sorry for troubling you back at the restaurant. I never knew
Susan to be someone who would act overly familiar with a stranger.”
“It’s fine.” Scott never thought much of the people that he didn’t care about.
With a nod, Tessa then brought Gregory back into the villa. Just as the mother-son pair was preparing to
wash up upstairs, a video call came from Nicholas. “Have you two eaten yet?”
“We have.” Then, Tessa told Nicholas about the meeting she had with Scott.
Nicholas only nodded as he listened to Tessa and gave not much reaction.
Standing beside Tessa, Gregory pouted. “Daddy, there’s something wrong with you. Why aren’t you
getting jealous when you found out Mommy was eating with another man?”
Listening to Gregory, Tessa wasn’t sure whether to be laughing or to be in tears. “Why would Daddy be
jealous? Don’t try to start something here, young man. Besides, you were there watching me too, weren’t
you? So, there’s nothing for Daddy to be jealous about.” She patted the back of the boy’s head in an
attempt to get him to behave.
After thinking about it briefly, Gregory accepted his mother’s reasoning and nodded fervently. “That
sounds about right.” Then, he patted his chest and assured the man on the phone. “Daddy, don’t worry.
I’ll help you keep an eye on Mommy.”
Tessa restrained herself from laughing out once more.

On the other hand, Nicholas went along with the boy as he nodded and said, “Good. I’ll be counting on
you.”
“Okay, no problem.” Gregory became excited, as though he had received some sort of mission from his
father.
With a smile, Nicholas quickly took the chance to send the little boy away, so that he could have his wife
all to himself. Unaware of his father’s ulterior motive, Gregory left with a spring in his step.
As Tessa tried her best in stifling her laughter when she saw how cheerful Gregory was, Nicholas said
with a smile, “If you want to laugh, then just laugh. You don’t have to hold it in.”
Unable to hold back any longer, Tessa immediately burst into laughter.
Nicholas listened to his wife’s joyous laughter, his eyes gradually filling with tender sentiments.
After a while, Tessa had her fill of laughter and asked knowingly, “Why did you send Greg away?”
“Because I want to be alone with you,” Nicholas said lovingly and sweetly.
Touched by Nicholas’ words, Tessa felt as though she was bathed in a pot full of honey.
After the two of them shared a moment of intimacy, Nicholas then asked with concern, “Was my baby on
her best behavior? Let me see her.”
