Chapter 929 How Was the Party?
“She’s coaxing the young master to sleep upstairs,” Sebastian replied dutifully. Hearing
that, Nicholas nodded and headed upstairs to Gregory’s room. Upon entering the room and
seeing the scene in front of him, the grim expression on his face disappeared, and a warm
smile followed. The room was dimly lit by a warm-toned bedside lamp, and Tessa was seen
hugging Gregory as both of them were sound asleep.
Seeing that, Nicholas smiled and slowly walked over before sitting by the bed. He stared at
Tessa’s sweet sleeping face quietly, and the irritability that he had had was instantly
relieved. He couldn’t help but lean in for a kiss.
Although it was just a peck, Tessa was awakened by the warm sensation on her forehead.
She stared at him blankly while in a daze, and soon after she was fully awake, she beamed
when she recognized that it was Nicholas. “You’re back.” She whispered to him in order to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnot wake Gregory up before carefully moving Gregory away from her arms.
Seeing that, Nicholas went up to help her out. However, Gregory seemed to be awakened
by it, as he suddenly grabbed onto Tessa’s shirt and called out, “Mommy…” Tessa’s heart
melted when she heard his adorable voice, and she was reluctant to leave him.
“Why not?”
“No way.” Nicholas rejected her even before she could finish what she wanted to say since
he already knew what she wanted to say because he refused to sleep alone. With that, he
skilfully made Gregory release his grip on Tessa’s shirt.
“Alright, we can go back to our room now.” He held onto her hand, and both of them left
Gregory’s room. Tessa followed behind him helplessly, but his actions made her heart warm.
After entering the room, Tessa remembered that Nicholas had attended a party that night
and asked him concernedly, “Have you had a lot to drink? Should I go to the kitchen and
pour you a glass of warm water ?”
“There’s no need for that, as I didn’t drink much. Edward had been drinking on my behalf.”
Nicholas pulled Tessa over, and both of them sat on the bed. Tessa didn’t seem to believe
his words and leaned in to take a sniff at him. She felt relieved when she found out that he
didn’t reek of alcohol.
“Since you don’t need it, you should go wash up, as it’s already late.”
“Alright.”
With that, Nicholas went into the bathroom. Later on, he got out of the bathroom with a
towel wrapped around his waist. His firm and attractive abs looked alluring under the
lighting, but it was a shame that Tessa had been asleep to see them. It was either because
she had been too tired or because she was pregnant that she had fallen asleep as soon as
she lay on the bed.
After he wiped himself dry, he slowly got into bed and pulled her into his arms. Although
Tessa was asleep, it was as if she could feel it too and snuggled in his arms. She rubbed her

Upon hearing that, he smiled as his heart melted. He tightened his embrace and kissed her
in between her brows.
“Good night,” he whispered and closed his eyes with her in his arms. He felt peace.
Although there were many beautiful women in the world, the only one that he wanted to be
with was sleeping in his arms.
The next morning, Tessa woke up early, but Nicholas was still asleep, which was rare. She
couldn’t pull her gaze away from him as she stared at the flawless-looking man who was
sound asleep. Soon after, Nicholas woke up.
“Do I look good?” He pulled her into his arms and smiled.
Tessa felt shy as it felt like she was caught in the act but smiled sweetly as she replied.
“There’s no question that my husband looks good.” She was all smiles as she looked at him.
Nicholas seemed to be infected by her smile and couldn’t help but smile at her too. After
cuddling for a while, Tessa suddenly asked with a laugh, “Since it was already late last
night, I have forgotten to ask you about the party. How was it?”
