Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1371

Chapter 1371 Let’s Have a Daughter

The Tompkins nodded and offered an invitation to Tessa and Timothy.

"Once Henry is better, the two of you and Mr. Sawyer should come over for a meal. I'll be cooking my best dishes," Mrs. Tompkins said.

"That sounds great. We'll be there."

Tessa smiled as she accepted the invitation.

The few of them continued to talk until Henry needed to rest. Thereafter, they left the hospital.

Nicholas had done a lot for them this time.

Hence, on the way back, Tessa leaned against him and gratefully said, "Thank goodness you helped us this time. I would not have known what to do otherwise."

"Timothy could have resolved this matter himself even without me. However, with my help, the issue was resolved faster with fewer risks of accidents."

Nicholas shook his head as he analyzed the situation for her.

Tessa nodded in response, but she still felt very grateful.

Later that day, they arrived home.

"The madam has brought the young masters back to the main house," Andrew quickly reported. "They will apparently be back tomorrow."

Nicholas nodded and dismissed him.

Now, the only ones left in the living room were him and Tessa.

He hugged her from behind and smiled. "We can finally have our own space."

"What kind of father are you?"

She coyly shot him a glare as she recalled what happened in the morning.

He chuckled and picked her up.

Then, he brought her into their room and placed her on their huge, soft bed. "Let's have a daughter, honey," he said, pinning her down.

He stared down at her with love in his eyes as he seductively whispered, "Everyone says daughters are their mother's most precious little one."

"That's your goal, isn't it?"

She burst out laughing, not at all mesmerized by the handsome man before her.

He did not deny her accusation and continued, "Our daughter would certainly be more obedient than our sons."

"Listen to yourself; we don't even have a daughter but you're already playing favorites. The poor boys…"

She said that in a teasing manner.

Her playful face merely made his heart melt with how cute she looked.

He was unable to resist the urge to dip his head down to kiss her pink lips. "It is their fault for being so unperceptive. They're always ruining the moment and stealing you from me."

"Are you jealous?"

She did not know if she should cry or laugh, but she was overjoyed deep down.

He raised his eyebrows in silent affirmation. Either way, he was extremely dissatisfied with how his sons kept taking up Tessa's time.

That made him even more certain he wanted a daughter.

Their daughter would definitely be nothing like their annoying sons.

"Let's have a daughter then," he said before kissing her once more.

The room was soon filled with the sweet sounds of fabric rubbing against each other.

…

When Tessa woke up the next morning, Nicholas was not in the room.

She did not mind it though and merely lazed in bed. She did not want to move.

A while later, she struggled out of bed.

After a simple breakfast, Tessa readied herself for her physical therapy session.

However, she soon received a call from Sofia.

Sofia was very concerned about her health.

"Tessa, how is your recovery?"

"Not bad. I can walk now."

Tessa briefly explained her situation before asking after Sofia.

The two of them made some small talk before getting to the point of the call.

"I'm calling you because the Janqash royal family is going to host a celebration. They're inviting you and me to perform. I didn't agree to it right away because I was worried about your health and told them I would ask you first."

Tessa's heart skipped in gratitude when she heard that.

She smiled. "You're so nice, Sofia. I'm lucky to be your student."

"Stop trying to flatter me," Sofia said in a doting voice before getting serious as she changed the topic to the main subject of the call. "I don't want you to miss this opportunity. This performance could make you known to the European royal families. Your career will greatly benefit from this, and it will be a great achievement."
