Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353
Nicholas danced with Tessa in his arms.
The two were so close that they could hear each other’s heartbeats. They stared at each other deeply. as if everything around them was blurred where they only had each other in their eyes.
Some people gradually joined the dance floor with their female partners.
However, the stage lights were only on Tessa and Nicholas.
Timothy held Gregory while glancing at the brightest pair in the center of the dance floor and joked, “It seems that we can only dance together.”
Then, he stretched out his hand to Gregory in a chivalrous manner.
When Gregory looked at the clean, slender fingers in front of him, he mischievously replied, “Okay. Since you don’t have a girlfriend, I’ll reluctantly dance with you.”
When they saw the interaction between this adult and child, many people were amused by the cuteness of it all and laughed in good nature.
Gregory and Timothy didn’t care either and entered the dance floor with giggles.
Although the two had quite a huge height difference, they were still able to have a harmonious dance.
The two danced and came to Tessa and Nicholas’ side.
She looked at the two of them having a good time, which rendered her stunned for a moment before she couldn’t help laughing while Nicholas’ face was full of tenderness.
Later, in the second half of the music, Timothy and Nicholas exchanged dance partners.
“Miss Tessa.” Gregory happily took Tessa’s hand and imitated his daddy’s dance steps earlier.
Tessa was also happy to cooperate with Gregory while Nicholas and Timothy smiled at each other before they stood on the edge of the dance floor.
When the song was over, everyone stopped dancing.
At this time, the lights at the scene suddenly went dark, after which the birthday song started playing. A waiter then emerged from the darkness with a three-tiered cake.
Tessa’s eyes grew misty in surprise.
The surrounding guests spontaneously sang the birthday song as well.
It was not until the cake was pushed in front of Tessa that the singing stopped and the lights were turned on again.
She looked at the delicate cake. Her eyes finally fell on Nicholas to tell him that she was touched.
At this time, Gregory excitedly took Tessa’s hand and urged, “Miss Tessa, quickly make a wish! Make a wish and we will slice the cake together.”
I wish that in the future, my brother and I can be safe and successful in our careers.
I wish that my relationship with Nicholas will have fewer ups and downs. It will not be tumultuous, but rather flat and smooth-sailing.
I wish that Greg will be happy every day, and free from illness and disaster.
After silently making her wish, she blew out the candles on the cake.
“Miss Tessa, what did you wish for?” a curious Gregory asked.
Nicholas and Timothy also looked over at her.
Tessa thought of her wish and felt a little embarrassed. She rubbed the tip of Gregory’s nose affectionately and responded with a smile, “If you say your wish out loud, then it’s not a wish anymore. Come on, let’s slice the cake.”
Gregory was really distracted and smiled happily. “I want to slice the cake with you, Miss Tessa.”
“Okay, let’s do it together.”
As soon as she said this, she noticed a hot gaze on her and realized that it was Nicholas staring at her with a faint expression. Her cheeks were slightly red as she invited, “Why don’t you join us?”
And just like that, Tessa held Gregory and Nicholas to slice the cake together.
After distributing the slices of cake, the emcee came over at this time on behalf of the cruise company. “Miss Reinhart, this is a birthday gift that was specially customized by our company for you. I hope you like it.”
Tessa was surprised. She didn’t expect the cruise company to prepare gifts.
She opened the gift box and couldn’t help but exclaim.
It turned out to be a set of figurines in the gift box which astonishingly resembled just like her and Nicholas. Gregory was of course included too.
There were three figures together-they looked like a beautiful family and Tessa loved this gift a lot.
“Thank you. I like it very much.”
“I’m glad you do, Miss Reinhart.”
After saying those words, the emcee then said his farewell.
Tessa was holding the gift box and feeling unbelievably happy. Then, she looked sideways at the calm man beside her with sweetness. “Nicholas, thank you.”
