Chapter 958 Father and Son Interaction
Tessa looked at him in confusion when she heard Nicholas’ sudden burst of laughter. ”What’s wrong?”
”Nothing. I’m just pleased to receive a gift.” Of course, he wasn’t planning on telling her the truth. Otherwise, she would definitely make a big deal out of it and seriously explain her entire thought process behind the gift.
Tessa never thought that he would beguile her, so she answered with a smile, ”At first, I didn’t think to prepare a different gift. But after the song was stolen, even if you were fine with it. Besides, I felt I could have made more improvements before Richelle stole the score. So, I got this instead.”
He tightened his arms around her after listening to her side of the story. ”Thank you. I like it a lot.”
”I’m glad you like it.” She returned his embrace while rubbing her cheek against his chest.
When the atmosphere was just right, Gregory suddenly exclaimed from the entrance, ”Oh no! My eyes are going blind. Daddy and Mommy are being naughty. You didn’t close the door.”
Even though he said that, he did not seem abashed at all. If anything, his eyes were wide open as he stared at Tessa and Nicholas mischievously.
Meanwhile, Tessa and Nicholas jumped at the sudden interruption.
After they realized it was only Gregory, she laughed while Nicholas’ face darkened with a hint of resignation.
Gregory sure knew how to pick the right time to appear.
”Weren’t you sleeping? Why did you come here?” He stopped Tessa, who was about to go to Gregory.
Now, he only wanted to get rid of this little lightbulb so they could continue enjoying each other’s company.
Alas, Gregory couldn’t really understand that his father was trying to chase him out. So instead, he beamed cheerfully as he announced his intention and the reason behind his barging into the room.
”I was sleeping, but I suddenly remembered I hadn’t given you my present, Daddy. So, I woke up.”
As he talked, he dashed toward Nicholas while carefully holding the present he had spent a lot of effort on. ”Daddy, this is my favorite robot. Now I’m giving it to you. Happy Birthday, Daddy.”
Nicholas’ eyes gazed into his son’s adoring ones, and his annoyance at the abrupt interruption dissipated as his heart melted into a puddle.
”Thank you, I love it very much.”
He accepted the little robot and ruffled Gregory’s soft black hair.
