Chapter 842 Gregory’s Godmother
Tessa spoke with a sigh. The next instant, she changed the subject and said with a smile, “Okay, let’s not talk about these unpleasant things anymore. Let’s chat about something else.”
Naturally, Mona agreed to it. After they finished having dinner a while later, she suggested with a smile, “It’s still early right now. How about we go for a walk?”
“Sure!” Tessa gladly agreed.
With that, the three of them went to the commercial street nearby.
Since it was evening, there were quite a lot of people walking along the street. Seeing the people coming and going around them, Gregory stayed by Tessa’s side along the way, protecting her like a little knight. Not only that, but he asked about her condition from time to time. “Mommy, are you tired from walking? Do you want to rest for a while?”
Mona was instantly overwhelmed by how caring and adorable the little boy was. “Aw, Greg, you’re so adorable!” She couldn’t help but rub the little boy’s plump cheek affectionately. Not only that, but she took him to a store for kids, where she bought him tons of presents and clothes.
Tessa was shocked by what Mona was doing. “It’s enough, Mona! It’s enough. You’ve bought so many things that Greg can’t use them all.” She hurriedly stopped her close friend from going on a shopping spree.
Mona didn’t care about it at all, though. She replied with a wave of her hand, “It’s okay. Even if Greg can’t use them all, you still have a baby in your womb, right?”
Tessa looked helpless as she was at a loss for a reply.
Gregory sensibly stopped Mona, saying, “Miss Mona, thank you for your kindness, but I don’t want you to spend a lot of money again.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you and stop shopping.” Mona’s heart melted when she saw the little boy’s eyes, which were as bright as a pair of black grapes. What should I do? How I wish I could have such an adorable and clever little boy! Well, it’s unrealistic to get a husband and have kids right now, but there’s another way. “Tessa, does your son have a godmother? Can I be his godmother?”
Tessa was startled for a moment; she never thought Mona would bring up the idea all of a sudden. Coming to her senses, she replied with a smile, “Don’t ask me about it. I’m fine with it as long as Greg doesn’t object to it.”
Upon hearing this, Mona immediately looked at Gregory expectantly. “Gregory, can I be your godmother?”
Being a clever boy himself, Gregory immediately said in a sweet voice, “Godmother—”
Mona beamed from ear to ear when she heard Gregory’s sweet voice. Sweeping the little boy into her arms, she said happily, “Let’s go with me so that I can buy some presents for you as your godmother.”
Tessa looked tenderly at the woman and the boy who were laughing together. She only thought that it was great to live such an uneventful and yet full life.
After they finished shopping, Tessa and Gregory bid Mona farewell.
They went home and washed up. Perhaps because he was tired, Gregory fell asleep shortly after going to bed.
Looking at the little boy’s smiling face under the dim yellow light, Tessa couldn’t help but lower her head to kiss him. Then, she tucked him in and crept out of the room.
She returned to the master bedroom. Shortly after she lay down, she got a video call from Nicholas.
Dressed in his usual black suit, the man looked handsome and a bit stoic in the video. Even though Tessa had seen this for many times, she couldn’t help being captivated by his good looks, and she missed him very much.
Naturally, Nicholas noticed the glazed look in her eyes. The smile on his lips became even more charming, and his dark eyes were full of tenderness. “How’s your first lesson today?” He knew that today was the first day of her and Gregory’s violin lessons. He asked with concern, “Did you and Greg get used to it?”
“Well, we’re fine. Greg and I learned a lot.” Tessa smilingly shared with Nicholas what she and Gregory had learned during their lessons.
Nicholas didn’t understand her words, but he nodded in agreement nonetheless. Then, he asked, “Did you have fun with your friend this evening?”
“Yeah, we did.” Tessa summarized what they had done that evening. Before she realized it, she had begun to talk about Gregory’s education. “Should I sign Greg up for other courses apart from the violin lessons? I remember that you’d arrange for him to be taught at home back in the country.”
