Chapter 1021 Can’t Bring Herself to Disturb

Nicholas’ eyes narrowed. Then, he ordered in a cold voice, “This guy might’ve been paid twice. Look closely and find out both of them when you look into this.” Edward nodded in comprehension.

On the other hand, Tessa kept on chatting with Sofia and Simon for a while after dinner before returning home. Upon coming home, she saw Nicholas and Gregory sitting side by side on the couch, holding the same laptop in their hands and tapping away at their keyboards while looking dead serious.

The sight of the identically gorgeous father and son under the light was a delight to the eye, not to mention that the scene was indescribably comforting. Unable to bring herself to disturb them, Tessa stood aside, leaning against the cupboard while gazing at them with a smile.

Perhaps because her gaze was too obvious, Nicholas soon noticed her presence. “When did you come back? Why stand there instead of coming over?” he asked. As he spoke, he put his laptop aside and stood up, walking toward her before naturally taking her by the hand.

Tessa replied with a laugh, “I came back just a moment ago, but I can’t bring myself to disrupt the scene of you and Greg together.”

Nicholas burst into a chuckle after listening to this.

Just then, Gregory heard their conversation. After putting down his laptop in delight, he jumped out of the couch. “You’re back, Mommy!” He ran up to Tessa as fast as his short legs could carry him, his pretty eyes shining like stars.

Instantly captivated by the boy’s clear eyes, Tessa bent down and pinched his plump cheek. “Did you behave yourself at home this afternoon?”

Gregory puffed out his tiny chest with pride. “Yeah, I did. I was as good as gold.” Tessa giggled in amusement.

Nicholas’ lips also curved into a faint smile before he sat down on the couch with Tessa while taking her by the hand. “Did today’s music recording go smoothly? Are you tired?”

“Well, it went pretty smoothly,” Tessa replied while pounding her sore legs with her fists. She lamented helplessly, “I felt okay before coming back, but now I’m a little tired after standing for a while just now.” Perhaps because her belly had swelled, she’d often suffered from aching legs and a sore waist lately.

Nicholas was instantly pained by the sight of this. “I’ll go run a bath for you. Just take a bath later; I’ll massage your waist when you come out.”

Without refusing him, Tessa leaned forward with a smile and kissed him on the cheek. “Aww, darling, that’s so nice of you.”

When Gregory saw this, he immediately came over in jealousy. “Mommy, I can also give you a massage that’s more comfortable than Daddy’s.”

“Is that so? Well, that’s really something, sweetheart.” Tessa cupped the boy’s face in both hands and kissed his cheek repeatedly.

Gregory smiled happily without forgetting to shoot a triumphant glance at his father. However, he didn’t realize that the latter was now secretly planning to keep him out of the bedroom.

Some time later, Tessa finished her bath and came out to see Nicholas alone in their bedroom. She couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s Greg?”

Nicholas answered with a straight face, “Timothy just called to ask whether he’d finished his homework. He’s now catching up on his homework outside, I guess.”

How could Tessa not tell that this guy had purposely arranged for Timothy to do so? “How could you be jealous of your own son?” She poked him lightly in the ribs in amusement.

Nicholas smiled before grabbing her hand. Then, he helped her to bed and said in a gentle voice, “Just lie down while I give you a massage.”

Tessa nodded before lying down in bed. Soon after that, she felt a pressure on her waist with just the right strength; it felt so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.

Just when she was drifting off to sleep, she heard Gregory’s sweet voice. “Mommy, I’ve finished my homework, and I’m here to give you a massage,” he said while hurrying to the bed before pounding her legs gently with his fists. As he did so, he asked her whether the strength was just right. Moreover, he said with a pained expression, “You must be tired, Mommy.”

When Tessa heard this, her heart melted into a puddle. All at once, she was bubbling with love for the little boy. The next morning, she got out of bed early.
