Chapter 735 When One Becomes a Mother
Hearing that the man still cared for her even when he was angry, Tessa was both moved and guilty.
She bit her lower lip lightly and walked toward the man step by step.
When Nicholas heard the footsteps behind him, he felt something was wrong.
Just as he was about to turn around, Tessa hugged his waist from behind and pressed her forehead against his back. When Nicholas felt the softness coming from behind, his whole body froze.
At this time, Tessa’s soft voice came to his ear.
“Don’t be angry, okay, Nicholas? I’ll give birth to the child.”
Nicholas was shocked upon hearing this. He turned around suddenly, looking at Tessa in surprise. “Aren’t you afraid that it’ll affect your career?”
“I’m sure it’ll be fine.”
Tessa looked at Nicholas with a smile, then continued in a very firm tone, “My dreams can be realized in the future, but the child is a life, so how can I take it away? Besides, I can’t bear it. The reason why I felt confused before was that I didn’t know how to welcome him.”
After Nicholas listened to Tessa’s words, his eyes became a little complicated.
He thought that Tessa was unwilling; he didn’t expect her to make such a big compromise in the end, and he didn’t know what to say for a while.
In fact, he wasn’t going to insist that she have this child, but he just didn’t like Tessa carrying all the burden by herself. Now that she had compromised, he was very moved by it, but he didn’t want her to give up her dreams for him.
“I don’t want to use the child to tie you to my side, and I don’t want you to make such a big sacrifice. On the contrary, I want you to do what you want to do happily.”
When he said this, he paused and said in a distressed voice, “Also, pregnancy is a difficult task, and will require you to devote a lot of energy.”
Hearing that he was concerned for her, Tessa was deeply moved and felt indescribable sweetness.
“Trust me, I can do it.”
As she spoke, she stepped forward and hugged Nicholas again, pressing her face against the man’s firm chest.
His powerful heartbeat came to her ear, causing her to smile a little.
Nicholas held Tessa with both hands, feeling very touched. He rubbed his chin against Tessa’s black hair, and his voice was indescribably gentle as he said, “It’s not that I don’t trust you. I’m just worried about you.”
“Don’t you know that one will become tough when they become a mother? I think this is quite true. Every mother will become very strong for her children. This way, I can have you by my side too.”
Tessa raised her head and looked at Nicholas firmly, whereas the latter lowered his head and stared at her, feeling moved again.
“You fool.”
He hugged Tessa tightly, the tenderness on his face seeming to swallow her whole.
Under the moonlight, the image of the two embracing each other was warm and beautiful.
After a while, Tessa looked at the handsome man in front of her again, then said softly, “Let’s not quarrel in the future, okay?”
“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have been angry at you.”
Nicholas stared at Tessa and took the initiative to apologize.
Tessa shook her head. “I also did something wrong; I shouldn’t have hidden it from you and cause such a misunderstanding.”
Hearing this, Nicholas thought of what happened this time and said with a serious expression, “Don’t hide anything from me in the future, or I will be very worried.”
“I know. I won’t.”
Tessa looked back at the man gently.
Nicholas met her starry eyes, felt moved in his heart, and lowered his head slowly.
As the hot and humid breath came close to her face, Tessa looked at the handsome man who was getting closer and couldn’t help closing her eyes.
Their lips pressed together, and Nicholas kissed her very gently.
After a while, Tessa felt weak all over and could only stand while being supported by Nicholas.
After a long time, the two parted breathlessly.
Tessa calmed down and glared at Nicholas slightly. “You smell of smoke all over, and you deliberately passed it on to me.”
Hearing this, Nicholas remembered that the room was full of smoke and hurriedly left with the woman.
