Chapter 905 Beyond Gorgeous
Tessa could naturally tell that the little guy had gotten jealous, so she immediately left Nicholas’ arms. “It’s okay, sweetheart. It’s the thought that counts. My baby boy’s the sweetest, aren’t you?”
Content, at last, Gregory looked smugly toward his father, who felt deeply helpless. I knew I should’ve asked Edward to babysit this kid for the night.
Tessa, on the other hand, didn’t notice the father and son squaring off, for she circled the gown after coaxing Gregory. Now that she could scrutinize the gown up close, she loved it even more.
“This is absolutely gorgeous. The embroidery’s so realistic,” she gushed while feeling the embroidery on the skirt.
Seeing how much she loved the gown, Nicholas urged dotingly, “Go and try it on.”
Gregory echoed with a nod. “I bet you’ll look very pretty in this gown, Mommy!”
Tempted, Tessa took the gown into her room and got changed, leaving the father and son in the living room.
At that, they sat on the couch, waiting for Tessa to come out.
At last, the door opened sometime later, and they looked toward it reflexively, only to be rendered in awe by what they saw.
Tessa sauntered out under the lights. The gold and scarlet gown complimented her fair skin, and her waist was so skinny that any man could wrap around it with just one arm.
The wings on the skirt, on the other hand, glistened like actual balls of fire burning as she moved. At this moment, not even elegance and grace were enough to describe Tessa’s beauty.
A sense of achievement arose within Tessa when she saw that her two beloved guys were rendered flabbergasted, and she did a twirl with her skirt lifted before asking with joy, “What do you guys think?”
“You’re pretty like a princess, Mommy!” Gregory spoke up first, his words as sweet as honey.
Feeling ecstatic, Tessa looked expectantly at Nicholas with twinkling eyes.
The man smiled upon meeting his beloved wife’s eyes, and he walked up to her, then pulled her into his arms. “Absolutely gorgeous.”
At that, he paused, allowing his voice to turn deep and magnetic. “But you look absolutely gorgeous in anything you wear.”
Tessa beamed brighter upon hearing so, and she looked straight into his eyes, saying, “Be honest with me. Have you taken advice from a love guru, or how can you be so affectionate?”
Nicholas quirked a brow and continued showering her with sweet nothings, “Do you not know I’ve always been affectionate toward you?”
His words turned Tessa’s heart into a sweet, gooey, sticky mess, and she wrapped her arms around her beloved husband’s neck and tip-toed to kiss him.
“Thank you. I really love this gift.” She riveted her gaze on Nicholas while smiling.
In actuality, she had fallen in love with this particular gown the moment it was brought onstage. However, she didn’t let her fondness show for a few reasons.
Meanwhile, Gregory consciously covered his eyes when he saw how intimate his parents were behaving, and he even mumbled, “See no evil, see no evil…”
Tessa looked toward the little fella upon hearing his voice, only to be rendered amused.
Though he chanted ‘see no evil’, he was actually peeping through the gaps of his fingers.
At that, she left Nicholas’ arms, lifted her skirt, and walked toward Gregory.
Seeing so, the little guy hurriedly closed his eyes and hollered, “I didn’t see anything.”
Tessa chucked in response, amused by his self-deception.
She put the little guy in her lap and brought his hand down, smiling, “What are you so shy about? I want to kiss you too.”
With that, she gave Gregory a kiss on the cheek, causing him to blush crimson in an instant, looking absolutely adorable.
“I want to kiss Mommy too.” At that, he looked up and kissed Tessa on the cheek before burying his head bashfully in her arms.
