“Okay, my little butler, I’ll rest now.” She stretched out her hand and pinched Gregory’s chubby cheek affectionately, and Gregory smiled sweetly in return. Mommy listened to me, so she loves me the most.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at his father proudly, then turned back and said to his mother seriously, “Mommy, you have to take good care of yourself and my little sister in your belly. Don’t make me worry about you.”
Tessa looked at him pretending to be prudish and thought of teasing him. “Do you prefer a sister?”
“Yes, I want a younger sister who is as good looking as you.” Gregory nodded happily. Tessa blinked, then said deliberately. “But I want a little boy who is as good-looking as you. Is that okay?”
“Of course. As long as you’re the one giving birth to him, I will like him,” Gregory replied sweetly.
Tessa felt warm after hearing his childish but pure response. “Yeah… I like you too.”
Hearing this, Gregory smiled happily. The mother and son laughed and bantered for a while, then Tessa put Gregory to bed.
During this time, Nicholas looked at the two of them with a gentle gaze, feeling very fulfilled and happy in his heart.
Soon, Gregory fell asleep. Tessa was about to tell Nicholas to rest, but she found that he had picked up Gregory and was about to send him back. She hurriedly stopped him and persuaded with amusement, “Let Greg sleep here tonight, or he’ll be upset with you again when he wakes up tomorrow.”
“He doesn’t sleep properly. I’m worried that he will accidentally hit you in the stomach.”
Nicholas solemnly found an excuse to refuse, and then left with the boy in his arms. Tessa watched Gregory being taken away, her gaze full of helplessness and happiness.
Early the next morning, during breakfast, Gregory complained as expected, “Daddy, you’re terrible! Mommy allowed me to stay, but you still took me back.”
“You don’t sleep properly; you will hit her in the stomach,” Nicholas answered indifferently while handing vegetables to Tessa.
Gregory pouted and retorted, “Daddy, you’re talking nonsense. I sleep well! You just want her all to yourself; that’s why you’re framing me on purpose.”
“What? Are you upset by that?” Nicholas raised his eyebrows and looked over, then continued with a faint smile, “If you’re not happy, when you grow up, you can find a wife yourself. Anyway, your mommy is mine.”
“I just want Mommy,” Gregory insisted and argued with his father.
Tessa couldn’t stop laughing when she heard them seriously discussing the issue of where they should sleep at night.
Not long after breakfast, Alice came to pick up Tessa for the shoot. Nicholas and Gregory continued to accompany her as usual. In the car, Alice talked about the blooper reels that were uploaded on the internet last night.
“After those blooper reels were released, I received many calls from skin care product advertisers from last night to this morning. They all want you to shoot their commercials, but I’ve rejected them all.”
Tessa nodded, glanced sideways at the man beside her, and said with a slight smile, “In the future, simply reject all these offers for me. After my child is born, I will focus on my violin, and in the future, I will reduce my appearances in front of the media unless there are some compulsory events to attend.”
Hearing this, Alice naturally understood Tessa’s plan. Although she felt that Tessa’s skills were going to waste, she still nodded in response.
On the other hand, when Nicholas heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly curved up, and he looked elated. Tessa, who had been paying attention to him, noticed this. In response, she let out a chortle. The man had been paying attention to their conversation.
Gregory also heard Tessa’s words and looked over happily. “Mommy, will you stop working in the future and stay at home with me?”
“That’s right. Soon, if there’s no special job for me, I’ll stay with you at home.” Tessa scratched Gregory’s nose affectionately. Gregory smiled so hard that his eyes turned into slits. “Great! You can accompany me every day again.”
