Chapter 322
“Definitely.” His answer was firm and determined as though
he was making a promise, which made Tessa feel very
sweet inside when she heard it.
After that, they continued to chat for a while, but her voice was
becoming softer and slurried with each passing second.
As Nicholas realized that she was sleepy, he chuckled and
commented on it, “Just go to bed if you’re sleepy.”
“Okay, and you shouldn’t forget to rest. Don’t be in a
rush to work.”
This time, Tessa didn’t insist, and after giving him some
reminders, she snuggled in the sheets and drifted off to sleep happily.
Nicholas walked into the living room with his luggage back home at
Dynasty Gardens, and Andrew immediately came up to him.
“You’re back, Master Nicholas.”
Actually, he wanted to help Nicholas with the luggage,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbut the latter turned him down.
Meanwhile, Gregory, who was playing Lego with Kieran, suddenly
heard his father’s voice, and he quickly jumped up from the couch,
dumping Kieran aside.
“Daddy!” As Gregory recovered his original enthusiasm, he
dashed toward Nicholas and hugged his thigh; his baby voice was so
cute that it could melt anyone’s heart.
Kieran watched the close-knit father and son in front of him and
couldn’t help but grumble as he stood up, “You heartless little one,
you’ve never shown me this much passion after I played with you for
two days.”
However, it was as though they didn’t hear him at all as Nicholas
crouched down and picked up Gregory into his arms. “Have you been a good boy at home?” he asked, his
expression soft. “I was!” Gregory bobbed his head eagerly and adorably, putting his arms around Nicholas’ neck.
Next to them, Kieran watched everything with a stuffy feeling in his chest. They are father and son indeed, and
their habit of throwing away used things is exactly the same. Unaware of the grievances Kieran had in his heart,
Nicholas and Gregory continued to chatter away. As they spoke, Gregory’s eyes were fixed on Nicholas’ suitcase,
and he knew what was on his son’s mind when he saw that. He flicked the tip of Gregory’s nose with a finger and
smiled. “Wait here.” Then, he placed him on the floor, turned around, and placed his suitcase flat down on the floor.
Nervously, Gregory watched every move he was making, and
his dark eyes were sparkling as though there were stars
hidden behind them.
“Here, this is the gift Tessa prepared for you,
” Nicholas said,
taking out a beautifully wrapped gift box from his suitcase. Delighted, Gregory ran up and hugged the gift in his
arms. At the same time, he gave Nicholas a peck on the cheek. “Thanks, Daddy. You’re the best!”
Nicholas felt his heart turning soft as he saw the delighted expression on his face. In the meantime, Gregory trotted
to the couch impatiently and started to open the gift. When he finally opened the box, he saw a small, delicate
music box in the shape of a golden violin, and he fell in love with it at first sight. A brilliant smile spread across his
face as he took out the music box. “Daddy, Uncle Kieran, look! Miss Tessa gave me a violin music box!” he said
proudly, winding up the music box, and a light, cheerful
melody started playing from it.
“It’s a song played by Miss Tessa! Daddy, Miss Tessa was playing this!”
he exclaimed in surprise, his eyes sparkling when he recognized that it
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas Tessa who had played that tune.
Nicholas nodded. “This was specially recorded into the music
box by Tessa.”
Hearing that, Gregory widened
his smile.
In contrast, Kieran stood next to them with a stunned
expression. “Nicholas, Greg’s musical talents are something else, aren’t
they? How can he even tell who was playing the tune? This is too
uncanny!”
However, his words of surprise only made
Nicholas smile.
Truthfully, he was always baffled in the past, wondering
whom Gregory inherited his
musical talent from. But now he knew for sure that he had
inherited it from Tessa, and it only made sense that he was this
good.
After learning that Tessa had specially recorded the tune for
him in the music box, Gregory held the music box in his hand like
a great treasure.
“Daddy, may I keep the music box in the safe box in
your study?”
