Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 654

Chapter 654 Generosity

“Who is it?” Tessa asked in a raspy voice as she walked over to open the door. To her surprise, a tiny figure leaped into her arms when she opened the door. “I’m finally here to see you, Miss Tessa. I’m so happy!” Gregory grinned widely as he wrapped his arms around Tessa’s thighs.

Tessa finally woke up right then. She gazed at the boy with a look of shock and surprise on her face. “When did you get here, Gregory? Why didn’t you call me to pick you up?” She bent down and lifted him into her arms. “I wanted to surprise you,” Gregory replied as he rubbed his cheeks against Tessa’s.

Tessa felt like her heart was about to melt at that point—she couldn’t stop kissing and hugging the small boy in her arms. When Timothy saw how close they were, he couldn’t help but feel jealous. So, he let out a slight cough. “Am I no longer your favorite brother now, Tessa? I’ve been standing here for half a day, yet you haven’t even glanced at me,” he muttered.

“How old are you? Are you getting jealous over a kid for getting more attention?” Tessa laughed as she gazed at Timothy fondly.

Gregory nodded in agreement. “That’s shameful behavior, Uncle Tim.” Timothy was amused but faked a sad expression. “Oh no. This is it! Tessa doesn’t love me anymore!” he wailed dramatically. Three of them fooled around for a bit more before Tessa asked about Timothy’s situation in the country. “How have you been? How’s the company doing?”

“Both me and the company are fine. Don’t worry about it.” They chatted for a while before Timothy stood up to leave. “You should get some rest, Tessa. I’ll head home to rest too.” She nodded and sent him off. On the other hand, Gregory had already fallen asleep in Tessa’s arms a while ago.
