Chapter 502 As Nicholas said that, he pulled Tessa to sit beside him and the smile on his face deepened due to her concern for him. After Timothy nodded and greeted Nicholas, he sat quietly beside them too. Nicholas asked in a warm voice as he held her hand. “How did the visit to the Tompkins’ go?” “The Tompkins are very welcoming.”
She briefly talked about what happened in the Tompkins Residence, then summarized it neatly. “In general, everyone got along very well.” When he saw the bright smile on the girl’s face, a hint of happiness could be seen in his eyes. That was when Gregory also came over, pouring out the contents in his pocket as he presented the gifts he received from the Tompkins.
“Daddy, look! Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins gave me these!” Most of the things were candies and snacks. There was even a toy shop gift card from Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins. He even showed off by waving the gift card around. “This is a welcome gift that Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins gave me! Neither Miss Tessa nor Mr. Timothy has it. Only I have it.” Nicholas let out a hearty laugh, and the expression on his face softened even more. Then, he rubbed Gregory’s soft black hair lovingly and said warmly, “Since it’s a welcome gift, you have to take good care of it.
As for these candies, you must eat less. Or else, your teeth will rot.” “I know. Miss Tessa already told me that on our way back home.” Gregory nodded obediently. Then, he carefully kept the candies, snacks, and toy shop gift card in his pocket. Not long after, he started yawning.
When Nicholas saw this, he asked the servant to take Gregory upstairs to take a bath. After Gregory left, the atmosphere in the living room became relatively quiet. Tessa tilted her head and asked the man next to her, “How’s your Grandpa doing in the hospital? Is he recovering well?” Timothy also looked at Nicholas with concern when he heard his sister’s inquiries. When he sensed their concern, he said briefly, “Don’t worry, he’s recovering well.”
Tessa nodded, relieved by the good news. Then, the three started chatting away. A while later, Andrew informed them, “The late-night snack is ready.” Nicholas nodded, then looked sideways at Tessa as he asked with his low and charming voice, “Care to accompany me?” Naturally, she would not refuse his invitation and followed him after getting up from the sofa.
However, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she turned her head around and asked, “Tim, are you joining?” “No, I’m not. You should keep Nicholas company.” After he finished speaking, Timothy tacitly left them alone. He felt that if he followed them, they would definitely make him watch them being lovey- dovey, and he would feel like a third wheel again. I sure don’t want to make myself suffer.
Timothy was right with his guess, as reality wasn’t that much different from how he thought it would be. In the dining area, Tessa smiled and rested her chin on her hand as she looked at Nicholas. The atmosphere was sweet and cozy as they chatted the night away. After they finished their late-night snacks, Tessa accompanied Nicholas for a walk in the garden.
At that moment, a gentle breeze blew, and it gently ruffled through her hair. Tessa could not help but look up at the man beside her. Right now, she felt that her life was fulfilling and joyful with this person by her side, and she hoped that it would continue to stay this way in the future. The next day, the Stone Family received a note from Remus and came to the hospital early in the morning.
“Old Master Sawyer, you look so much better. Now, my mind can also be at peace.” Hayley looked at Remus with a concerned look. Both Nero and Sonia also repeated Hayley’s words in agreement. Remus listened to their flattery blankly, making him look mysterious and hard to read.
On the contrary, Hayley keenly noticed Remus’ strange behavior and asked, “Is there something wrong, Old Master Sawyer? Are you in a bad mood?” “No, I was just thinking about something.” Remus made a perfunctory remark. Then, he adjusted himself to be seated in a comfortable sitting position.
As if making a passing remark, he mentioned. “I heard Nicholas say that Hayley and Mrs. Stone especially went to buy health supplements before. How nice of you two.” At once, Sonia and Hayley were startled. The two did not seem to expect that Remus would suddenly mention this matter.
Then, Hayley immediately explained with a smile after a momentary pause as she was lost in her thoughts. “It’s nothing. We also care about you. By the way, Old Master Sawyer, why are you looking for us today?” “It’s nothing. I’m fine too. Seeing that I have gotten better, I figure that I should thank you all.”
