Chapter 362 Cheer Up
“You should get washed up then. It’s getting late. You should get some sleep.”
“Sure.” Nicholas then pulled her into his embrace and made her sit on his lap.
Tessa felt a little embarrassed sitting so close to him, but then she remembered that they had done even more intimate stuff before, so she hugged his neck. “Are you leaving tomorrow?”
Nicholas nodded. “Why? Don’t want to say goodbye?” He smiled.
“Yes.” Tessa nodded honestly. She thought time was flying by too fast. “I wonder when we’ll meet again.” She sighed sadly.
Nicholas’ eyes shone. He suggested, “If you’re feeling sad, then reward me well tonight.” He picked her up and took her to the room next door.
Tessa snapped out of it when he placed her onto the bed. As he took his clothes off, it reminded her of how insatiable he was the night before, and it scared her. “Um, let’s not do it tonight. I promised Gregory I’d stay with him for the night.”
She got up and tried to run, but she didn’t get far before Nicholas pulled her back. “Gregory’s a big boy now. He should learn to sleep by himself,” he whispered, his voice raspy and sexy.
A while later, moans and groans were heard from the room. A long, long while later, Tessa lay on the bed, exhausted, while Nicholas seemed refreshed, as if he was indefatigable. Tessa had mixed feelings about that, but then he would be leaving the next day, so she let him do what he wanted.
…
When Gregory woke up in his room the next morning, he didn’t see Tessa around, and it made him furious. When he saw his father and Tessa coming out from the same room later, he directed his anger at his father. “Daddy, you meanie! You took Miss Tessa from me again!” He puckered his lips, crossed his arms, and sat on the couch angrily. “You’re a meanie too, Miss Tessa. You promised you’d stay with me.”
Tessa felt heartbroken hearing how disappointed the boy was, and she reflexively wanted to cheer him up, but she stopped herself before she could. Hey, this is not my fault. I can’t be the one to cheer Gregory up every time Nicholas makes him mad. What if he ends up thinking I’m a liar? She turned around and glared at Nicholas. “You made him mad, so you cheer him up,” she whispered. “And tell him I didn’t stand him up on purpose. I don’t want him to think I’m a liar.”
Nicholas looked at Tessa, his eyes filled with love. “Of course,” he said, and he went over to the boy.
The boy noticed someone coming. He thought it was Tessa, and he smiled. He was about to complain to her, but then he saw a pair of black leather shoes beside him. When he looked up, he saw his father’s face, and he snorted. Then he turned away and ignored his father.
Nicholas didn’t mind. He calmly huddled closer to his son.
For some reason, the boy looked hesitant after a while, then he seemed less angry, but he still snorted at his father anyway. Then he got off the couch and trotted to Tessa. “Miss Tessa, I want a hug.” Contrary to how he treated his father, he beamed at Tessa.
Tessa picked the boy up, and she looked at Nicholas, feeling surprised. What did he say to cheer him up so fast? She wanted to know, but she didn’t get the chance to ask.
