Chapter 508 Gregory lifted his small head and said with a smile, “As long as you cook it, I won’t be picky.” Tessa was overjoyed to hear this but couldn’t help teasing, “Well, why don’t we eat carrots, green bell peppers, and celery with fried pork tonight.”
Gregory’s frown deepened with every vegetable name that fell off her lips. After a while, the little boy’s delicate brows were furrowed into knots. When she saw this, she couldn’t help laughing. He knew that she was just teasing him the moment he heard her laughter.
“Miss Tessa!” He stomped his feet in a huff, but he couldn’t bear to say a single bad word about her, so he could only sulk in silence. When she saw that he was in a snit, she quickly soothed him. After a long while, she finally coaxed the little boy into showing her a smile again. The two picked one item after another and ended up choosing quite a few things before pushing the shopping cart to checkout.
After Nicholas returned to Dynasty Gardens, he found that Tessa and Gregory weren’t there, so he asked Andrew, “Where are Tessa and Gregory?” “Miss Reinhart and Young Master Gregory haven’t returned,” Andrew answered truthfully. Nicholas frowned slightly as he took out his phone to contact her.
The call was instantly connected, but it was Gregory who answered the phone. “Daddy.” “Where’s Miss Tessa?” “She’s cooking in the kitchen. Mr. Timothy and I are playing in the living room. By the way, Daddy, Mr. Timothy said that we’re not going back tonight.” When Nicholas heard this, his face turned a little gloomy.
At this moment, he had figured out that Timothy was deliberately sabotaging him. He gritted his teeth and restrained the sudden urge to punch a certain someone in the face as he said, “Don’t listen to Mr. Timothy. Whatever he says doesn’t count.” To his surprise, Timothy’s voice sounded from the phone.
“Nicholas, I don’t like what you’re saying. What do you mean what I say doesn’t count? You’ve occupied my sister for so many days. Shouldn’t you be giving her back to me already?” “You…” Nicholas was so angered that he let out a sardonic snort. When Timothy heard Nicholas’ resigned tone, he proudly continued, “Ah, Nicholas, my sister’s calling me to help, so I have to leave to go.
I hope you have a pleasant meal tonight.” With that, he immediately hung up the phone. Nicholas couldn’t help but feel amused as he stared at his phone, although he was still rather peeved. Finally, he put his phone away and strode out.
Andrew hurriedly chased after him when he saw Nicholas leaving and asked, “Master Nicholas, what about dinner?” “I won’t be having it. Oh, and I won’t be back tonight.” After he said that, he went straight to the garage without even looking back. An exquisite black Bentley drove out of Dynasty Gardens in less than a moment and headed straight for Tessa’s apartment.
In the apartment, Gregory heard someone knocking on the door, so he happily went to open it.
“Daddy!”
Timothy wasn’t surprised to hear Gregory’s excited voice.
He looked toward the entrance and saw
Nicholas walking in with Gregory in his arms, and he couldn’t help rolling his eyes. “Wow, talk about fast.”
Nicholas only slightly raised his eyebrows in response as he took Gregory into the kitchen.
“You’re here.”
Tessa wasn’t surprised to see him either because she knew that he would definitely come.
“Dinner will be ready in a while. You can play outside with Greg for a moment.”
He nodded and walked out of the kitchen with Gregoiy.
Timothy grunted haughtily when he saw Nicholas reappear in the living room.
However, Nicholas was unbothcred by Timothy’s attitude. Instead, he walked over with Gregoiy and said nonchalantly, “Your sister said dinner will be ready in a while.”
His purpose was to tell Timothy that his sister had cooked his portion too.
Naturally, Timothy immediately picked up on his unspoken words and felt like someone had landed a critical hit on him.
A short while later, she was done preparing the meal, so she called the three of them over for dinner.
At the table, Gregory praised her for cooking such delicious food.
The duo was happily enjoying their meal together.
As Nicholas took in the scene, his face unconsciously turned gentle at the heartwarming sight.
Then, he finally cast Timothy a sideways glance, raised his eyebrows, and asked, “Look. Does it matter whether we’re doing this at my place or not?”
