Chapter 687
"Miss Tessa, I want a kiss too."
"Sure, I'll give you a kiss."
Then, she smiled as she gave Gregory a peck on his cheeks.
He chuckled happily as his round eyes curved up into the shape of crescent moons.
Sure enough, he didn't hesitate to throw a triumphant look at his father.
Nicholas found it hilarious that his son was competing for Tessa's attention with him.
Tessa had no idea that a secret battle between the father-son duo had taken place right under her nose. With Gregory in her arms, she walked toward the living room and sat on the couch.
Nicholas followed behind and took a seat next to her naturally.
He was worried that Tessa's arms would be sore from carrying the boy as he recalled that Gregory had gained some weight recently. Hence, he stretched out his hands and offered, "Your arms are probably sore by now after carrying him. Let me take him."
"I'm fine. Plus, you have not fully recovered yet and can't carry anything heavy. Have you forgotten what the doctor said?"
She glared at him with feigned anger.
When he heard that, he lowered his gaze and smiled at Gregory, who was still in Tessa’s arms, "Get down. You're a big boy now, and Miss Tessa would tire carrying you everywhere."
Although Gregory was reluctant, he slowly slid down from her embrace obediently.
He couldn't bear to be the reason Tessa became tired.
"Miss Tessa, are your arms sore? Let me massage it for you."
As he spoke, he had already started to give her a massage.
Tessa's heart softened at the sight of this.
At this moment, the three interacted harmoniously like a family.
Their cheerful laughter traveled beyond the living room, making Andrew, who was delegating tasks in the garden, let out a relieved smile.
It had been long since he last heard Nicholas and Gregory laugh so heartily.
Later in the day, Tessa asked Nicholas, "Do you have any other plans in the evening?"
"I'm planning to take Gregory to visit Old Master Sawyer at the hospital later," Nicholas told her honestly.
Tessa nodded. "Then I'll go and meet Tim. He doesn't know that I'm back yet."
"I'll get Andrew to arrange a driver for you."
"Sure."
With that, the two took Gregory with them and left the house.
At Reinhart Group, Tessa arrived at her brother's office successfully without any obstacles.
In order to give her brother a surprise, she made sure everyone in the company kept her visit a secret.
When Timothy's assistant noticed her sudden appearance outside the office, she was also shocked.
"Miss Reinhart?"
