Chapter 348 Liking You More and More
The entanglement in between the lips and teeth became more and more intense to the point where even the surrounding air became much thinner.
It was as if everything in the surrounding had been blurred where the two could only see each other in their eyes.
After the kiss ended, Tessa was nearly short of breath as her lips were swollen in the aftermath. She was gasping as she lay in Nicholas’ arms with the feeling that all of her energy had been depleted.
Similarly, Nicholas was doing no better than Tessa. His handsome face was scrunched up under the twilight as he was holding back while the brightness of his pair of black eyes shocked her.
Tightening his grip on Tessa’s waist, Nicholas looked as if he wanted to knead her into his body.
After a long while, the two finally calmed their pumped up emotions.
However, she was still in his arms.
Grabbing Nicholas’ one hand, Tessa interlocked all their fingers together, which made them look matching.
“Have you been missing me all these days?”
Raising her head, she looked at his clean jaw with her dewy eyes.
While slightly lowering his eyes, he replied in a low and deep voice, “Of course I miss you. And you?”
“I miss you too, and I miss Greg. Sometimes I want to act impulsively and come back to look for your guys while disregarding everything.”
“Then, come back.”
“Forget it. Although I feel lonely here sometimes, I don’t feel that way all the time.” Tessa shook her head and smiled. “Besides, my career has just gained momentum. If I head back now, that means I’ll have to start from zero again. Then, wouldn’t my previous efforts all go to waste?”
“As long as you’re happy. If worse comes to worst, I’ll bring Greg over to visit you when I’m free.” There was an indescribable trace of doting in Nicholas’ words.
As she listened to him, she felt so sweet that it resembled someone pouring a jar of honey on her heart.
Tessa then sat up from Nicholas’ embrace and the affection in her eyes was unconcealed. “Nicholas, what should I do? You’re so good that I feel like I’m liking you more and more.”
“Then, continue to like me in this fashion.”
There were ounces of smiles in Nicholas’ eyes before he gave Tessa’s lips a light peck.
After that, the two continued to be emotionally attached with each other for a while.
It wasn’t until time for him to leave when he asked her for a good night kiss again. Then, he reluctantly left her apartment.
Tessa stood at the entryway after closing the door. As she touched her slightly numb lips, an unconcealed sweet smile crept onto her face.
Next, she went into the room after moments of being absent-minded. Once she entered the room, she saw an excited Gregory sleeping soundly. His cheeks are flushed while he pouts his pink lips. He seems to be having some sort of dream.
“Miss Tessa… Yummy… Still want…”
Once Tessa went closer to Gregory, she heard him murmuring those words with an adorable voice. In an instant, her entire heart was melted.
Tessa simply washed up and gently got into the bed. She didn’t know whether it was her scent or something else, but Gregory immediately clung onto her like an octopus just as she was about to lie down.
“Miss Tessa… Huggie…”
When she heard him talking, she could not help but laugh.
After that, Tessa helped to tuck the blanket on Gregory’s back before hugging him to sleep.
Before she slept, she could not help but sigh. I’m very much happy now!
Hayley sat on the executive chair with a frown inside the director’s officer at Stone Enterprise.
She had just received news that Nicholas had gone abroad yesterday and was a little suspicious as to whether he did so to look for Tessa. After all, Tessa was now abroad.
Thinking about this, Hayley planned to have a word with Remus after she got off work in the hope that she could find out some news.
…
In Sawyer Residence, the housekeeper led Hayley to a garden pavilion where Remus was leisurely teasing the parrots in the pavilion.
“Sir, Miss Stone has arrived.” Then, the housekeeper brought Hayley over to stand outside the pavilion.
When Remus heard that, he turned sideways a little as his sagacious gaze landed on Hayley. “What brings you here today?”
While speaking, Remus returned the parrot on his hand back to its bird cage. After that, he went to sit on a chair in the pavilion.
“I thought I should drop by and visit you since it’s been so long since my last visit.” Hayley obediently sat across from Remus before she took the teapot and poured them both some tea.
The housekeeper understood the hint and left the pavilion to wait at a place not too far away.
As he took a sip of the tea, Remus said lightly, “What’s good for you to visit me? You may as well look for Nicholas if you have such free time. Oh, by the way, how’s your recent progress with him?”
