Chapter 846 Saving the World in Her Previous Life
Coming to her senses, Tessa was a little surprised.
On the other hand, Gregory pouted his lips in displeasure.
Nicholas did pay attention to their facial expressions. Seeing that Tessa didn’t seem displeased, he breathed a soft sigh of relief. “Miss Muller, your takeout has probably arrived. Why don’t you go out and ask your assistant?” With a frosty expression, he asked Wanda to leave, not wanting the woman to disturb the three of them again.
Of course, Wanda also knew his purpose in saying so. She was very upset, but she had no reason to stay. As a result, she had no choice but to leave bitterly.
After stepping out of the office, she turned around and stared at the door to the office while gnashing her teeth in hatred. At the same time, though, she knew she couldn’t resign herself to this anymore. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to win Nicholas’ heart.
Tessa didn’t ask about Wanda after the latter left. She roughly figured that Wanda had probably shown up in Nicholas’ office for work-related matters.
Although she didn’t ask any questions about Wanda, Nicholas explained the matter on his own initiative. “The lady just now was Wanda Muller, whose family and mine are old friends. She’s recently started her own business in the country, and her company and mine are collaborating with each other.”
Hearing the man’s explanation, Tessa smiled sweetly. “Don’t worry, I’m not overthinking it. I still trust you, so you don’t have to explain it to me. I know it.”
Nicholas nodded.
At this moment, Gregory squeezed his way in and lectured mischievously, “Daddy, you have to be good. Don’t let other women get close to you. You can’t let Mommy down.”
Tessa couldn’t help but smile as her heart warmed. She felt that she must’ve saved the whole world in her previous life to have such an adorable son and a husband who cared so much about her in her present life.
Nicholas looked fondly at the woman and the boy in the video. Then, as his tender eyes fell upon Gregory, he raised his eyebrows slightly and replied impassively, “Do I need you to remind me of that?”
Gregory wrinkled his nose with a soft snort. “I’m just worried that you’ve forgotten about it.”
Nicholas felt helpless. “You’re just a kid, so stop worrying about these things. Just protect your mom over there. Got it?”
Gregory proudly puffed out his little chest. “Of course I know that. Also, I’m not a kid. I’m already a man.”
Tessa and Nicholas were amused by the little boy.
A while later, Nicholas urged Tessa to go to sleep as it was getting late. After all, there was a time difference between the two countries.
On the other hand, Wanda finished having lunch. Instead of taking a break, she knocked on the door to the president’s office. “Nicholas, can I come in?” In reality, she came over in such a hurry on purpose. She didn’t know if Nicholas was still talking to Tessa over the phone at this moment. Of course, it’d be best if he wasn’t, but if the two of them were still talking over the phone, she naturally had to end their phone conversation on the excuse of work. In any case, she wouldn’t allow Nicholas to focus his attention on another woman while she was present.
After entering the office, she saw the man sitting behind his desk and handling work-related matters, and her lips curved into a beautiful smile. Thinking that she sounded virtuous, she said, “Since you’re busy, I’ll wait until you finish your work before we continue our discussion.”
“It’s not necessary,” Nicholas refused directly while walking out from behind his desk. Then, he picked up the documents for the projects and started to get into work by continuing the earlier conversation between them. He wanted to finish dealing with the projects sooner so that Wanda would stop coming to him every day.
Being a clever person, Wanda naturally understood Nicholas’ purpose in doing so. She felt so upset that she clasped her hands together. Unfortunately, she had no other choice but to discuss work-related matters with him again.
She tried to chat with Nicholas while they were taking a break, but he continued working in a businesslike manner as though he didn’t hear her.
Upon seeing this, Wanda was inwardly displeased. She felt that her conversations with Nicholas seemed to be strictly about work. This guy seemed to have nothing else to talk to her about apart from work-related matters.
