Chapter 925 How Was the Party?
“She’s coaxing the young master to sleep upstairs,” Sebastian replied dutifully. Hearing that, Nicholas nodded and headed upstairs to Gregory’s room. Upon entering the room and seeing the scene in front of him, the grim expression on his face disappeared, and a warm smile followed. The room was dimly lit by a warm-toned bedside lamp, and Tessa was seen hugging Gregory as both of them were sound asleep
Seeing that, Nicholas smiled and slowly walked over before sitting by the bed. He stared at Tessa’s sweet sleeping face quietly, and the irritability that he had had was instantly relieved. He couldn’t help but lean in for a kiss.
Although it was just a peck, Tessa was awakened by the warm sensation on her forehead. She stared at him blankly while in a daze, and soon after she was fully awake, she beamed when she recognized that it was Nicholas. “You’re back.” She whispered to him in order to not wake Gregory up before carefully moving Gregory away from her arms.
Seeing that, Nicholas went up to help her out. However, Gregory seemed to be awakened by it, as he suddenly grabbed onto Tessa’s shirt and called out, “Mommy…” Tessa’s heart melted when she heard his adorable voice, and she was reluctant to leave him.
“Why not?”
“No way.” Nicholas rejected her even before she could finish what she wanted to say since he already knew what she wanted to say because he refused to sleep alone. With that, he skilfully made Gregory release his grip on Tessa’s shirt.
“Alright, we can go back to our room now.” He held onto her hand, and both of them left Gregory’s room. Tessa followed behind him helplessly, but his actions made her heart warm.
After entering the room, Tessa remembered that Nicholas had attended a party that night and asked him concernedly, “Have you had a lot to drink? Should I go to the kitchen and pour you a glass of warm water ?”
“There’s no need for that, as I didn’t drink much. Edward had been drinking on my behalf.”
