Chapter 958 Father and Son Interaction
Tessa looked at him in confusion when she heard Nicholas’ sudden burst of laughter.
”What’s wrong?”
”Nothing. I’m just pleased to receive a gift.” Of course, he wasn’t planning on telling her the
truth. Otherwise, she would definitely make a big deal out of it and seriously explain her
entire thought process behind the gift.
Tessa never thought that he would beguile her, so she answered with a smile, ”At first, I
didn’t think to prepare a different gift. But after the song was stolen, even if you were fine
with it. Besides, I felt I could have made more improvements before Richelle stole the score.
So, I got this instead.”
He tightened his arms around her after listening to her side of the story. ”Thank you. I like it
a lot.”
”I’m glad you like it.” She returned his embrace while rubbing her cheek against his chest.

When the atmosphere was just right, Gregory suddenly exclaimed from the entrance, ”Oh
no! My eyes are going blind. Daddy and Mommy are being naughty. You didn’t close the
door.”
Even though he said that, he did not seem abashed at all. If anything, his eyes were wide
open as he stared at Tessa and Nicholas mischievously.
Meanwhile, Tessa and Nicholas jumped at the sudden interruption.
After they realized it was only Gregory, she laughed while Nicholas’ face darkened with a
hint of resignation.
Gregory sure knew how to pick the right time to appear.
”Weren’t you sleeping? Why did you come here?” He stopped Tessa, who was about to go to
Gregory.
Now, he only wanted to get rid of this little lightbulb so they could continue enjoying each
other’s company.
Alas, Gregory couldn’t really understand that his father was trying to chase him out. So
instead, he beamed cheerfully as he announced his intention and the reason behind his
barging into the room.
”I was sleeping, but I suddenly remembered I hadn’t given you my present, Daddy. So, I
woke up.”
As he talked, he dashed toward Nicholas while carefully holding the present he had spent a
lot of effort on. ”Daddy, this is my favorite robot. Now I’m giving it to you. Happy Birthday,
Daddy.”
Nicholas’ eyes gazed into his son’s adoring ones, and his annoyance at the abrupt
interruption dissipated as his heart melted into a puddle.
”Thank you, I love it very much.”
He accepted the little robot and ruffled Gregory’s soft black hair.
Gregory could feel the joy emanating from Nicholas, so he beamed brightly. ”I knew you
would like it!”
Tessa watched on silently as her heart softened at the heartwarming scene between father
and son.
On the other side, Edward had dropped Wanda at a hotel and left.
Yet, perhaps he had shut the door too loudly, so the knocked-out Wanda woke up the instant
he had departed.
As she massaged her sore neck, she sat up on the bed and scanned the hotel room’s decor.
Then, it didn’t take her long to get out of her dazed state as she put two to two together
and figured out just what had happened to her. The instant she came to that conclusion,
she couldn’t help but feel her blood boil.
That’s too mean of him! How could he knock her out and toss her in a hotel?
Despite being angry at Nicholas’ treatment of her, she still placed the blame on Tessa.
She felt that it must have been Tessa who influenced Nicholas’ harsh attitude toward her.
Otherwise, it was customary for her to stay the night due to the close relationship between
their families.

As for the incident where he knocked her out, she decided to feign ignorance as it didn’t
coincide with her own rose-tinted world.
”One day, I’ll make sure that you disappear from Nicholas’ side, Tessa,” she hissed through
gritted teeth.
Right at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Wanda regained her composure and opened the door but was stunned to see the person
who knocked.
Outside the door, Eunice looked up and down at Wanda before smirking. ”I knew you were
feigning drunk.”
Wanda felt embarrassed when her lie was seen through, so she avoided Eunice’s cunning
gaze.
Therefore, she pretended she didn’t hear what Eunice had said and asked, ”Miss Eunice,
what brings you here?”
”You’re not going to invite me in? I think we need to have a chat.”
Eunice didn’t mind her playing the fool; she merely flipped her hair over her shoulder and
signaled Wanda to invite her in.
Wanda frowned slightly, but still took a step aside and allowed her entry.
After they were seated, Eunice made a show by sweeping her gaze across the hotel room
and mocked, ”I thought you would have stayed in the house since you were childhood
friends with President Nicholas. But look what we have here. Tsk. Tsk.”
