Chapter 317 I Miss You Very Much
“Gregory, there’s someone who wants to meet you.”
“I don’t want to!” Gregory refused instantly. He didn’t want to see anyone except for the beautiful Miss Tessa.
Not surprised by this answer, Nicholas didn’t say much but simply turned the camera to Tessa, who was sitting next to him.
When Gregory saw Tessa suddenly appearing on the screen, he opened his eyes widened in stunned silence.
“Hello, Greg. It’s been a while since I saw you.” Tessa waved her hand as she said hello to Gregory.
However, he didn’t respond. Upon seeing this, Tessa reckoned Gregory was angry with her, making her feel distressed.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have left without saying anything. I’m sorry…”
After Gregory heard this, his eyes gradually turned red, and tears pooled in his eyes, seemingly about to fall at any time.
“Miss Tessa, why didn’t you come to see me? Do you hate me too?” He sobbed as he peered at Tessa, appearing as pitiful as an abandoned puppy.
Tessa’s heart ached, and she quickly denied while explaining, “Gregory, I don’t hate you. I didn’t visit you because I went to study abroad and didn’t know how to say goodbye to you.”
“Really?” Gregory wiped his tears away and looked suspiciously at Tessa.
“Really. So, can you forgive me, Gregory?”
“Then, if you can promise that you wouldn’t suddenly stop visiting me for no reason next time, I’ll forgive you.”
Gregory tried to maintain a serious expression on the screen, but unfortunately, it was spoiled by the tear tracks on his face, resulting in an adorable contrast.
Tessa found him so cute that she nodded repeatedly, then continued comforting him.
Meanwhile, Nicholas and Kieran remained silent during this period so as to not disturb their conversation. Undoubtedly, Kieran was curious about why his brother was with Tessa. However, no matter how hard he tried to signal his brother, it was like signaling a blind man—all in vain.
Tessa didn’t notice Kieran’s small movements as she was focused on coaxing Gregory. Gradually, Gregory’s mood stabilized, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
“Miss Tessa, when are you coming back? I miss you very much.”
“I miss you very much too, Gregory, but I can’t go back for now.”
“Why not?”
Gregory was disappointed, and the sparkle in his eyes dimmed.
She felt her heart ache upon seeing this, so she quickly comforted him. “Gregory, although I won’t be there with you physically, we can video call each other every day.”
But Gregory was still unhappy. He didn’t want to see Tessa through the screen. He wanted to see her in person, then hug her while she pampered him.
She noticed that he was upset, so she continued to coax him. It took a lot of effort for her to make him smile again. Although he was happy, he couldn’t help but complain when he saw that his father and Tessa were together.
“Bad Daddy. You secretly went to find Miss Tessa and didn’t take you with me. I don’t like you anymore.”
“But Gregory, didn’t you already dislike your daddy before this?” The expression on Kieran’s face was one of mischief as he added fuel to the fire.
Tessa covered her mouth and giggled.
Nicholas ignored his brother and looked at Tessa, his eyes filled with affection. He immediately made a promise to Gregory. “Next time I come over, I’ll definitely bring you with me.”
Gregory pouted and agreed but said nothing else. Afterward, he talked non-stop to Tessa, asking her about anything and everything while she patiently answered each and every question.
“It’s 10.30PM. Gregory, you should get some rest.” Nicholas solemnly took the phone back from Tessa’s hand. He would never admit that he felt that Gregory was occupying Tessa for too long, making him a little jealous.
“Daddy, can you let me talk to Miss Tessa for a while more?”
