Fortunately, it did not take long before she composed herself once more. Although there was no wedding ceremony to celebrate her marriage to Nicholas, they lived a happy and blissful life together.
A short while later, they decided to return to their respective homes after finally choosing the wedding dresses.
Sabrina watched Tessa climb into the car and leave the premises. However, she did not leave immediately. Instead, once she was confident that Tessa was out of sight, she whisked out her phone from her bag and sent the photos she secretly took earlier to Nicholas.
"Nicholas, I've accomplished the task you gave me. Tess chose this wedding dress."
When Nicholas received the message, he was handling some documents in the office. He glanced at his phone screen, admiring the picture of his pure and lovely wife in a wedding dress. The look in his eyes was so gentle that a person could drown in them.
When Tessa returned home, Andrew immediately approached her as soon as she climbed out of the car. "Young Madam, the housekeeper who works for Old Mrs. Reinhart is here."
"Did she state the reason for her visit?" Tessa asked with a frown.
He shook his head. "I asked, but she did not say. She only told me that she would wait for your return."
When she heard that, she entered the living room with a slight frown.
Inside the living room, the housekeeper immediately stood up from the couch when she saw Tessa enter the room. She nervously called out, "Madam Tessa."
"What's the reason for your visit?" Tessa queried and took a seat on the couch.
The housekeeper answered honestly, "I came here to deliver some gifts under Old Mrs. Reinhart's orders."
The housekeeper didn’t wait for Tessa’s response before she started carrying several gift boxes beside her and placing them on the coffee table in front of Tessa.
"Old Mrs. Reinhart heard that President Reinhart will be getting married in a month, so she specially prepared a wedding gift for him. As for this gold locket and necklace, she heard that you've gotten pregnant again. She told me that the necklace is for the baby to wear once the baby is born."
She explained the presents on the table in sequence. Throughout her speech, she constantly shot anxious glances at Tessa. She was well aware that Tessa and Timothy were estranged from Amber due to certain events in the past and was rightfully afraid that these presents would be harshly rejected.
She gulped nervously and took a deep breath. Then, when she saw that Tessa wasn’t saying anything after waiting for several seconds, she mustered her courage and continued speaking, "By the way, Madam Tessa, Old Mrs. Reinhart also has a message for you. She understands that you and President Reinhart do not like her. Therefore, to prevent the joyous mood from being ruined, she will not be attending President Reinhart's wedding. Therefore, you and President Reinhart do not need to worry about her attendance."
