Chapter 912 I Hope It’s a Girl
“Mommy, Daddy is picking on me,” complained Gregory as he rushed toward Tessa and hugged her leg pitifully. Although he looked unhappy, Tessa knew that he was just trying to get her to withdraw a move in the chess game for him. Thinking about it, she stifled a laugh and asked, “How did he bully you?”
When Gregory heard her words, he looked at Nicholas triumphantly as if he had found someone to back him up. Then, he started to accuse Nicholas in all kinds of ways, which was an adorable sight to see. “He wasn’t thinking of letting me win because I’m a child, and I couldn’t think faster than him. He doesn’t love me anymore,” he said.
Needless to say, Tessa saw his actions and couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore, while Nicholas did the same.
Then, he got up and walked toward them, pulling her into his embrace. “Alright, I’ll give you a chance. Go and take a look at where your chess should land next,” he said while smiling at Gregory, which the latter went to think about.
With that, Nicholas took no notice of him anymore and sat on the couch with Tessa. Then, his gaze landed on her stomach. After looking at it for some time, he couldn’t help but reach out his hand and caress her stomach. However, the sensation he was feeling startled him.
Since Tessa was by his side, she noticed his peculiar reaction. “What’s wrong?” she asked in confusion.
“Your belly seems to have gotten bigger,” Nicholas replied as he looked at her stomach.
In fact, her baby bump was showing, but it was still not quite visible. It just looked as if she was gaining weight.
Seeing the disbelief in his eyes, she laughed but felt warm inside her heart at the same time. She could see that he did care for the baby. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have noticed such a slight change. As Tessa thought about it, her eyes sparkled, and she giggled. “Darling, why don’t we guess the gender of the baby?”
When Nicholas nodded and was about to say something, they heard Gregory’s voice. “I want a sister,” he said excitedly.
It seemed that he was eavesdropping on their conversation all along.
At this moment, he didn’t bother about the game anymore as he trotted toward them in excitement. “Mommy, can you give birth to a girl? She will be as good-looking as you. In the future, I can also protect her,” he gushed.
Hearing his words, Nicholas nodded in agreement. “I think that it’s a girl too.”
As Tessa heard their answers, she gently stroked her stomach and said affectionately, “I hope so too. I like girls. Moreover, we already had Gregory. It will be perfect if we have a daughter in our family.”
Nicholas smiled and nodded, while Gregory’s smile brightened when he heard that Tessa had also wanted a baby girl, even if he didn’t understand what she meant by a perfect family.
…
The following day, Nicholas drove Tessa and Gregory to the Heavenly Chorus Orchestra for practice after breakfast. When they arrived at the destination, Tessa walked out of the car while holding Gregory’s hand. Nicholas also left the vehicle.
Then, he stood in front of her and reminded her. “Don’t work yourself too hard while practicing. Remember to take some rest and call me if anything happens.” As he spoke, he gave a little peck on her forehead.
Feeling the warmth, Tessa smiled sweetly at him. “Don’t worry. I can take care of myself. Relax, Nicholas.”
Hearing her words, Nicholas nodded slightly and turned to Gregory. “You must take care of Mommy, okay?” he asked.
“Okay,” Gregory replied while nodding his head thoughtfully.
Noticing that they were making a huge deal out of this, Tessa couldn’t help but chuckle. “I will just be staying inside the orchestra. Nothing will happen to me.” Although she told them in such a way, she was content with their actions.
“I’m just making sure of everything.” Nicholas looked at her gently.
“Well, enough of me. You should also remember to eat lunch when you are working. Be mindful of your work time, and I will call to check on you when I’m on break,” she said while glancing at him.
“I’ll be waiting for your call.” Nicholas smiled.
After chatting for a bit, Tessa entered the building with Gregory while Nicholas stood on the spot as he looked at them. Only when they were out of his sight did he retrieve his gaze and head toward the branch office.
