Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 322

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,
but 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,

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
was Tessa who had played that tune.
