Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 873

Chapter 873 Tessa’s Baby

“My belly is still flat. What can you even see?” Even though Tessa said that, she still lifted her clothes. As she was of a thin body stature, her stomach was flat even though the baby was already three months old. No one would be able to tell that she was pregnant looking at her like this.

Looking at Tessa’s flat stomach in slight disappointment, Nicholas said, “When will she get bigger?”

Tessa was stunned by Nicholas’ question, for the images that she had once buried deep inside her mind came floating up. In truth, she was with a child a few years ago. The thought of that child immediately had Tessa turning gloomy and depressed.

Naturally, Nicholas noticed Tessa’s change in mood and knew what plagued her mind. However, he knew that this wasn’t the time for her to come clean with her past, as doing so meant that Tessa could no longer pursue her dreams without any distractions as she was doing now. With such thoughts in mind, Nicholas spoke out to interrupt Tessa’s thoughts. “Why did you suddenly stop talking?”

“I was thinking how many months it will take for my belly to grow.” Coming back from her thoughts, Tessa felt guilty, as she lied to Nicholas for the first time.

Pretending not to have noticed the change in Tessa, Nicholas asked, “So, how many months do you think it will take?”

“I’m guessing it would probably be around the fourth month for my pregnancy to show.” The last time she was pregnant, it took about four months for her pregnancy to show, so she thought it would be the same this time as well.

Noticing that Tessa was not as enthusiastic as she was before, he knew that Tessa still felt depressed over her past, so he thought of ways to divert her attention. “If it’s the fourth month, then it’s almost time. Do you think the baby will start interacting with us? Should I start educating the baby by then?” he asked ignorantly with full anticipation for the baby’s arrival.

Sure enough, Nicholas was successful in distracting Tessa from her thoughts. Looking at his wife who had her smile back, he heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s getting late. You should get some sleep now.” He coaxed Tessa to bed.

Tessa agreed with a nod, then ended their video call for tonight.
