Chapter 637 The Best Woman

This evil woman has to be interested in Daddy. I can’t allow things to go her way. Daddy belongs to Miss Tessa! During the meal, Gregory ate his food silently without speaking to Janet at all. The young boy was really cold to her. Nicholas was just as quiet—he patiently peeled a few prawns for his son without saying anything.

Janet gritted her teeth when she saw the two interacting with each other. Her grip on her chopsticks tightened as she felt a strong sense of annoyance. Although the father and son didn’t converse much, they gave off the feeling that they were both a part of the same family while she was just an outsider.

Nicholas placed some meat in Gregory’s bowl, and Gregory munched on it before pouting and throwing an intentional glance in Janet’s direction. “I still think Miss Tessa is better at preparing this dish.” Nicholas nodded in agreement upon hearing the boy’s words. Although their chef wasn’t bad, the way that Tessa prepared this dish was somewhat different. She made it taste more like home.

“Finish your food. You’ll get to eat Miss Tessa’s cooking soon,” Nicholas said while putting some vegetables into Gregory’s bowl. The young boy nodded obediently before he continued eating his food. Janet’s mouth was sour with jealousy when she heard the two of them talking. After they were done with the food, all three of them returned to the hall.

Janet didn’t feel like leaving just yet, so she tried starting all sorts of conversations with Gregory and Nicholas. The father and son responded courteously, but their patience wore out as time passed. “It’s getting late. You should go home to get some rest.” It was clear that Nicholas’ patience was at its limit.

The smile on Janet’s face stiffened when she heard the man’s words, but she quickly returned to her usual expression before speaking in a gentle tone. “Is it okay if I stay with you guys, Nicholas? The villa over there is too huge, and I’m not used to staying in it alone.”

Nicholas knitted his brows upon hearing her words. Janet thought that she had a chance, so she quickly added to her statement. “Don’t worry. I won’t wander around after moving in.”

“If you feel like there are too few people around, I can arrange for more workers to stay there and care for the place,” Nicholas spoke in a tone that brooked no argument. “Please send Miss Brenner home, Andrew.”

“Yes, sir.” Andrew nodded dutifully before turning to send Janet off. She was fuming at this point. I’ve already made things so clear, yet Nicholas doesn’t seem to be doing anything at all. Am I so much worse than Tessa? Little did she know that she meant nothing to Nicholas at all. Furthermore, Nicholas didn’t like the idea of other women moving into his place for too long.

When Gregory saw the woman walking out of the hall, he let out a soft mumble. “She’s finally gone.”

“Do you not like her?” Nicholas turned to gaze at the young boy beside him. Gregory nodded. “I don’t like her.”

“Why not?” Nicholas asked.

“I’m not sure. I just feel like she has bad intentions,” Gregory explained.

Nicholas smiled when he saw the way Gregory scrunched his face up. “I’m guessing that you’re not fond of anyone else in this world apart from Miss Tessa, huh?”

“That’s true. Miss Tessa is my favorite person in the world. No one compares to her.” Gregory stuck his chin up proudly. Nicholas burst out in laughter before ruffling the young boy’s black hair. “Do you want to talk to her?”

“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Gregory shouted in excitement. Nicholas pulled his phone out and gave Tessa a call upon seeing how elated the boy became. “It’s been so long since I last saw you, Aunt Tessa. I miss you so much!” Gregory spread his lips into a wide grin when he saw Tessa through the video call.

Tessa’s smile was just as bright as the boy’s smile. “I miss you a lot too.” She had been busy with practice throughout this period, so she hadn’t phoned Nicholas as often. However, that didn’t mean that she had missed them any less. Both Tessa and Gregory kept talking about how much they missed one another—Nicholas found it hard to interrupt their conversation.

Gregory clutched the phone without allowing his father a chance to speak at all. “I know you’ve been busy recently, Aunt Tessa. So, I practiced all of the songs that you taught me previously. I’ll perform them for you when I go visit.”
