Chapter 976 Fetal Movement
Richelle sneered, obviously not believing a single word that dripped from Susan’s poisonous lips. On the other hand, Susan dropped the entire topic even though her eyes showed slight traces of frustration. Since this woman misunderstood me for being jealous of Tessa, so be it. As for me, I’m likely to expose myself if I continue this topic.
“Fine, then. I won’t say anything anymore since you aren’t bothered by this. I hope you can make it to the top and shine bright in the orchestra soon.”
When Richelle heard that Susan sounded somewhat sincere, she thought Susan had given up on provoking her into acting rashly toward Tessa. Then, she kindly advised Susan, saying, “You should cheer up too. Stop being hostile toward Tessa.”
Although Susan maintained a polite smile on the surface, indicating she understood where Richelle was coming from, deep down, she actually felt utter disdain for the other woman. What a foolish woman. Unlike you, who gets afraid after failing just once, I always strive for what I want. Also, only an idiotic woman like you will be willing to forfeit the chance to become more than ordinary. On the contrary, I will do everything in my power to become extraordinary.
On this day, Remus had called for the Sawyer Family to gather for a meal when he remembered that they hadn’t had a meal together even though Nicholas had returned for so long.
During the meal, Stefania nagged Nicholas, “Why didn’t you bring Greg back with you when you returned to Xerthania?”
“Greg has classes, so Tessa said she’ll bring him back to see you all when it’s the holiday season.”
Nicholas relayed Tessa’s regards.
Although the elders of the Sawyers spoke nothing of it outwardly, inwardly, they were all pleased with Tessa’s consideration.
Suddenly, Remus said, “She’s been pregnant for five months or so now, right? What’s the matter? Is she not planning to return to Xerthania during her pregnancy?”
Stefania was also hit with a sudden realization when she heard this, and she inquired with a frown, “Does she have plans to give birth in Xerthania?”
“It’s still far too early to discuss this matter. The baby is only five months old. So there’s no rush.”
Although Nicholas was aware of their thoughts, he also knew now was a crucial moment for Tessa. He didn’t want to hold her up for the baby’s sake.
Unfortunately, Stefania didn’t know what the hold-up was.
Hence, she felt very dissatisfied after she heard Nicholas’ words. “How is it not a rush? Could it be that you plan to only let her return to Xerthania when she’s seven or eight months pregnant?”
“It’s not a big deal whether she’s seven or eight months pregnant. I’ll make proper arrangements for everything. I won’t let any mishaps happen to her and the baby,” Nicholas said with great confidence. After all, he was genuinely convinced that he would be able to handle anything, come hell or high water.
When they saw that Nicholas had made such bold proclamations, Stefania and Remus couldn’t voice their dissatisfaction, no matter how badly they wished.
Meanwhile, Tessa had no clue about what was happening in the Sawyer Residence.
She was so swamped with the release of her new album, training, and taking care of Gregory that she was as busy as a bee.
