Chapter 886 Merry Christmas
In the blink of an eye, it was already Christmas eve. After greeting the guests, Tessa got them to gather in the living room to discuss how they should spend Christmas. Since they were overseas, this year would be a meaningful celebration that should be planned well.
This is the first time we’d be spending the festive season together. Fingers crossed that it’d turn out amazing.
“Let’s have the family lunch in advance, seeing that your concert will be held tomorrow night. That way, I can accompany you to the concert,” Nicholas suggested as he held on to Tessa’s hand.
“Sounds like a good plan.” Tessa nodded. Both Timothy and Gregory had no objections to the arrangements.
…
The next morning, Tessa woke up early as she planned to personally prepare the family lunch.
Just when she was about to get out of bed, Nicholas grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms before greeting her in a deep voice, “Merry Christmas.”
“Merry Christmas.” Tessa looked up and smiled at him.
Both of them cuddled for a while before washing up. At the same time, Timothy and Gregory were already up and hanging out in the living room. Both of them beamed from ear to ear when they saw Tessa and Nicholas coming down.
“Tessa, Nicholas, Merry Christmas.”
“Daddy, Mommy, Merry Christmas.”
“Merry Christmas,” Tessa replied with a smile. Nicholas, who was in a good mood, was all smiles too.
Just then, the cheeky Timothy stretched his hands out. “Tessa, where’s my gift?”
“You’re asking for presents from me even though you’re already an adult?” Tessa teased him with a smile on her face.
“Even if I’m an old man next time, I’ll still ask for presents from you since you’re the best sister in the whole wide world,” Timothy responded confidently.
Seeing that, Gregory went over and looked at Tessa, “Mommy, do I get presents too?”
Tessa smiled when she saw how adorable he was. “Yes, all of you will get presents, but before that, you’ll have to complete the task that I assign to you.”
At noon, she had prepared a feast with the help of the chef, and the dining room was filled with the aroma of the dishes.
“Lunch is ready,” she called out happily and invited everyone over for lunch when the last dish was served.
Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and headed to the dining room. The manor had a festive feel as the Christmas decorations had been put up.
“It smells so good.” Nicholas smiled when he smelled the aroma after walking into the dining room.
“Mommy, what have you cooked for us?” Gregory dashed over toward her and asked with anticipation.
“A lot of yummy dishes. Would you like to try them?” She bent over and lightly pinched the tip of his nose.
“Yes, I’d love to.” He nodded.
“Let’s start eating after you give Grandpa and Grandma a call to wish them Merry Christmas, alright?” She told him patiently. “You have been spending Christmas with your grandparents every year, but now that we are overseas, they will miss you a lot. You’ve promised to be a good boy, am I right?”
“Mommy’s right. I want to be a good boy. I will give them a call right away.” He immediately turned around and went to get the phone.
Soon, Stefania received a phone call from Gregory and was elated. “Gregory, you’re finally giving Grandma a call after you’ve been gone for so long.”
“Grandma, don’t be angry. I’ll be giving you calls more often in the future.”
Gregory humored them before wishing them, “Merry Christmas, Grandma, Merry Christmas, Grandpa.”
“Merry Christmas to you, Gregory.” Both of them laughed as they watched him from the phone screen.
After chatting with Gregory for a while, they realized it was Tessa who had taught him to give them a call, and Tessa had earned some brownie points from them because of that.
