Chapter 877 You Should Go Back
Nicholas pulled Tessa toward the sofa. “I haven’t had a chance to hold you yet. No one is bothering us now, so I can finally take a good look at you.”
Then, he held Tessa and made her sit on his lap.
Feeling the softness in his arms, he felt that his heart, which had been empty all this time, was instantly filled.
He gently stroked Tessa’s belly, and his expression was gentle.
“How are you and the child lately?”
“We’re fine.”
There was a happy smile in Tessa’s eyes, and she snuggled in Nicholas’ arms obediently.
Meanwhile, he nodded and continued to hold her quietly.
The sun shone in from the outside and onto the two of them, making the scene indescribably warm and beautiful just like an oil painting.
After a while, the two got tired of it.
Tessa turned around, gripped Nicholas’ neck affectionately, and asked, “How long will you be staying here this time?”
“I can spend time with you until the end of the New Year, and then I will stay for a while longer.”
Nicholas raised his eyes and looked back at Tessa with a very peaceful expression.
Tessa’s eyes lit up at once. “There is still more than half a month until the New Year, so you can stay here during this time, right?”
She looked at Nicholas in delight.
Nicholas nodded lightly, tidied her hair scattered on her cheeks, and asked with a smile, “Are you happy?”
“Yes!” Tessa nodded vigorously.
This was her first time spending the New Year with Nicholas, and it was very meaningful to her.
However, she only felt thrilled for a moment before she became worried again. “Did your parents agree to you staying here for the New Year? Will they be unhappy?”
Seeing his wife’s worried expression, Nicholas couldn’t help but want to tease her.
“I want to accompany you here for the New Year. Whether they agree or not will not affect my decision.”
Hearing this, Tessa was anxious.
Of course, she hoped Nicholas could accompany her for the New Year, but she didn’t want to make his family unhappy because of her.
In the end, she reluctantly gave up the idea of celebrating the New Year with Nicholas and persuaded him, “You should go back to celebrate the New Year instead.”
Nicholas couldn’t help laughing when he saw that she was obviously very reluctant to part with him, but she pretended not to mind as she tried to persuade him.
Hearing the man’s deep and pleasant laughter, Tessa turned her head to look at him, puzzled.
“Why are you laughing?”
“You dummy—I was just teasing you.”
Nicholas hugged Tessa, his voice indescribably doting as he said, “Don’t worry. I’ve already told my parents about it, and they don’t mind.”
Tessa was taken aback for a moment, and she immediately stared at him in annoyance.
“Gregory is right! You’re too evil for teasing me about such things.”
She angrily hammered his chest.
Meanwhile, Nicholas let her hit him while he continued to laugh.
The two laughed for a while before Nicholas hugged Tessa again. He rubbed her neck gently with his chin and said warmly, “This time, I want to accompany you and watch our child grow up slowly.”
He had missed out once when Tessa was pregnant with Gregory, and this time, he didn’t want to miss anything again.
Naturally, Tessa knew nothing of this.
As she listened to the man’s words, she felt that her heart was blossoming with happiness.
“With you by my side, the baby will be very happy.” She snuggled into Nicholas’ arms and spoke softly.
When Nicholas heard this, his expression was extremely tender. “I will witness every moment of the baby’s growth with you.”
Tessa nodded lightly, feeling extremely joyful today.
…
The next day, Tessa got up early because she had to attend orchestra practice. After washing up, she and Nicholas went downstairs holding hands.
In the living room, Timothy and Gregory were already up.
“Good morning, Mommy and Daddy.”
When Gregory saw his parents, he greeted them in a soft voice.
Then, as if offering a treasure, he trotted to Tessa’s side and said excitedly, “Mommy, do you think my clothes look good? Uncle Timothy bought them for me.”
