Chapter 634 Visit
Before this, Nicholas was like an emotionless robot.
But now, he would take note of every special day and prepare various surprises for Tessa. Nicholas was such a romantic that Edward wondered if he had served a fake president before this.
Nicholas didn’t know that Edward was secretly making fun of him in his mind.
So, when he saw no more items were on the agenda, he waved for Edward to leave and continue with his work.
In the evening, Nicholas had dealt with all the matters, so he went home early.
Since Tessa had been busy with her practice, their calls with her had significantly lessened. Because of this, Gregory was always in a foul mood.
He kept making a fuss and threw tantrums at home.
Nicholas decided to return earlier tonight and accompany the little guy for dinner.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got through the door, he saw Janet sitting on the couch.
Janet also caught sight of Nicholas, and a brilliant smile immediately bloomed on her face.
“Nicholas, you’re back.”
She joyfully got up from the couch. She wore a loose dress covering her bodacious figure, but her legs were long and slender, so she didn’t look very skinny.
Her face was still pale, and her star-like crystalline eyes, paired with her short hair, which reached her ears, gave her an air of soft firmness.
She slowly walked up to Nicholas, the love and adoration in her eyes almost completely exposed.
The man, still in his black suit, looked tall and slender. His exquisite features lay beneath his short black hair, and his expression was calm and stately.
Nicholas looked at Janet and frowned slightly. “Why are you here?”
“In the afternoon, I have nothing else to do after settling in, then I thought about how you’ve been looking after me all this while, so I decided to come over and express my gratitude. So, I bought some fruits and children’s toys.”
When Janet spoke, her smile turned a little fainter.
Actually, she came over quite early in the afternoon.
She had already received information that, after Nicholas left for work, only a child called Greg would be here.
She wanted to spend some time with the child first and establish a relationship with him. However, she had been here for half a day, but she hadn’t seen even a shadow of the child.
She had never seen such a rude child before!
Nicholas didn’t know of this. He simply nodded and said indifferently, “Thank you.”
With that, he walked toward the living room.
Janet noticed the briefcase in his hand, and her eyes shimmered as she reached out and smiled. “I can help you carry your briefcase.”
“No need.”
Nicholas dodged Janet’s outreached hand.
Just then, Andrew walked over to him. “You’re home, Master Nicholas.”
Nicholas nodded slightly, then passed Andrew his briefcase as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
As Janet watched the differential treatment unfolding before her, she was terribly upset.
In the luxurious living room, because of her sudden visit, Nicholas could only stay in the living room to attend to her. However, he looked a little unhappy that he had to do such a thing.
“You’ve just recovered a little, so you’re still weak. Don’t run around so much.”
Janet felt a little upset as she gazed at the man’s cold and distant expression, but she quickly switched to a positive outlook.
At least this man still cared about her. Even though it was just on the surface, she was still quite satisfied.
She nodded and smiled as she said, “I know. Actually, I also came to see Greg. I’ve never met him before.”
“You’ve never met him?”
Nicholas was a little puzzled when he heard that.
When he returned, he could clearly see that Janet had been here for a while.
At that thought, he turned around and asked, “Andrew, where’s Greg? How come I don’t see him?”
“Master Nicholas, Young Master Gregory had been staying in the music room all afternoon. He refused to come down,” the butler said truthfully.
Nicholas frowned slightly, somewhat sure in his heart of what was going on now.
“I’ll go have a look.”
With that, he turned and walked up the stairs.
In the music room, Gregory was polishing the violin he usually played. With his serious expression, he looked like he was shining a treasure.
When he heard footsteps at the door, he instinctively looked up.
However, when he realized that the visitor was his daddy, he gave a ‘hmph’ on purpose, then pretended not to see anything as he looked down and continued polishing his violin.
When Janet saw the man’s figure disappear at the top of the stairs in the living room downstairs, she bit her lip and followed him.
