Nicholas gently placed Tessa on the bed.
In the dim light, her fair skin was partially visible as she was wearing loose pajamas. Her black hair was tied up simply at the back of her head, and although she had no makeup on, she looked exceptionally beautiful.
He looked at her and felt a stirring in his heart.
"You are so beautiful," he said as he leaned in to kiss her soft lips.
She smiled sweetly as she wrapped her arms around his neck and responded passionately.
This was destined to be a sleepless night.
Tessa was tossed around quite a bit, and she was tired after several rounds so much so that she didn't even want to move her fingers.
She felt that Nicholas was particularly passionate tonight.
As a result, she felt happy and reciprocated his passion.
Under the moonlight, they bared themselves to each other as their intense feelings enveloped them. They gave each other all the love they had.
It was a night of passion.
When Tessa woke up again, it was already the next day and almost noon.
She realized that Nicholas was no longer in the room, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
After cleaning herself up, she left the room to have a meal.
In the living room, the nanny was playing with Gregory and Gordon.
Although the two children could not communicate with each other yet, they seemed to be having a great time.
Listening to the crisp and cheerful laughter, Tessa felt blissful.
She couldn't help but go over and play with them.
Before long, the living room was filled with even more joyful laughter.
After playing for a while, Tessa sat on the couch and slowly ate her breakfast.
At this point, she remembered Nicholas.
After all, it was already noon, and he hadn't returned yet.
"Where is Nicholas?" she asked as she turned her head to look at the nanny beside her.
The nanny respectfully replied, "Master Nicholas went to the branch office. He left a message that he won't be back for lunch."
Tessa nodded to show that she understood.
Meanwhile, at the branch office of Sawyer Group.
Edward knocked on the door and entered the office. "President Sawyer, I've found all the information you asked me to look into."
At this, Nicholas put down the work in his hands and looked over.
"Who are they?"
"Elisa is the disciple of Carina, a famous master from Rasnos. She's a talented musician who has been very popular in recent years," Edward replied as he began to describe Elisa's background.
Nicholas' face remained expressionless as he coldly asked, "So, what happened last night?"
"I asked the relevant staff, and it turns out that Elisa's assistant was jealous of Miss Tessa and deliberately sabotaged the performance." Edward relayed the information he had gathered. "However, I think the real culprit behind this incident is Elisa herself."
"That's obvious," Nicholas said. "But since Tessa has already dealt with the matter, we don't need to concern ourselves with it. Let's talk about Hobbs."
He was more interested in the latter person.
Edward nodded and continued, "Hobbs is the heir of the Hobbs Family and the cousin of the current Princess Freya. He also grew up with Prince Abott and enjoys high prestige."
He paused intentionally after finishing his sentence to observe Nicholas' expression.
However, Nicholas remained stoic and unreadable.
Edward continued, "The Hobbs Family is also involved in business and currently manages the largest economic lifeline in Janqash. They are not to be underestimated."
After he finished reporting the information he found, he looked at Nicholas while waiting for further instructions.
However, Nicholas only made a noncommittal sound in response, showing a little reaction.
Edward stood there, unsure of what his boss was thinking.
Just as he was about to ask, Nicholas' phone rang. It was a video call from Tessa.
At that moment, his usually indifferent features softened; it was especially when he saw Tessa's beautiful face. His eyes were full of tenderness that could easily captivate anyone.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Nothing much. I just wanted to let you know that we'll be having dinner together tonight, so make sure to come back on time," Tessa replied.
