Chapter 715 An Important Place in Her Heart
After hearing about Tessa’s night, Nicholas asked in confusion, “Why would you go to an auction?”
“Your grandfather’s birthday is just around the corner, and I know he is in love with antique collections. So, I went to the auction to see if there was anything I could find, which I did, to my surprise.”
Upon listening to the lady’s explanation, Nicholas was happy on the inside. In fact, he did mention Remus’ birthday feast to her in the past but hadn’t discussed it with her, thinking they both had a tacit understanding about the matter. While Tessa hadn’t brought Remus’ birthday up since then, he didn’t expect her to keep that in mind despite his grandfather’s dislike for her.
I can’t imagine she took the time and trouble to learn what Grandpa likes so that she could prepare him a present, although she isn’t exactly his favorite all the time. At that moment, Nicholas was delighted, thinking he had an important place in Tessa’s heart. “That’s so sweet of you.” He looked at the lady with a sentimental gaze.
Meanwhile, Tessa, who appeared to be slightly bashful with the man’s loving eyes, pursed her lips and smiled. “I’ll get someone to deliver the present tomorrow, so please don’t forget to sign for the package when it arrives.”
Nicholas nodded. “Alright, I’ll tell Edward to keep an eye out for its arrival.”
As the couple continued their chat, Gregory’s unhappy voice was suddenly heard. “You’re such a naughty boy, Daddy. Why do you always leave me out when you talk to Miss Tessa?” The child then forcibly made some space for himself so that he could see Tessa on the screen. “I miss you, Miss Tessa.”
“I miss you too, Greg. Have you been a good boy recently?”
“Of course I have. I haven’t forgotten what you told me, Miss Tessa.”
While the child and the lady wouldn’t stop going on and on about how much they missed each other, Nicholas began to feel annoyed with his son. I guess I must call Tessa only when I’m in the office next time.
However, Gregory had no idea that his father had other plans to keep him from interrupting his call with Tessa ever again. Enjoying his conversation with Tessa, he wouldn’t stop bringing up new subjects with her and even played her a song on the violin. Needless to say, Tessa also corrected the mistakes he made at the same time, but as the night was getting late, she started to feel sleepy.
