Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 977

Chapter 977 Nicholas Gets Emotional

Gregory nattered on happily to the healthy baby growing within Tessa’s belly.

Meanwhile, Tessa didn’t interrupt Gregory’s evident enthusiasm as she gazed at him fondly, wholly enraptured by his curiosity toward the new life she was nurturing.

Suddenly, the phone she had placed aside rang loudly, somewhat shattering the peaceful atmosphere between mother and son. However, when she checked the notification, her eyes lit up with delight when she saw that it was a video call request from Nicholas.

”What are you two doing?”

Nicholas’ gentle voice came from the phone.

When Tessa was about to tell Nicholas the good news, she was preempted by the excited Gregory.

”Daddy! My baby sister moved just now. She even knew that I was her brother and said hello to me!”

Nicholas was momentarily stunned when he heard Gregory’s words. But, then, his astonishment was instantly followed by slight envy and disappointment when he realized that he couldn’t be there with his family and experience that joy with them.

As for Gregory, he didn’t notice the strange look on Nicholas’ face at all and was still happily bragging about it, ”Daddy, my baby sister must like me!”

Nicholas’ mood took a turn for the worse when he heard that.

So, he decided to ignore Gregory as he looked toward his wife and pretty much demanded impatiently, ”Let me see your belly.”

Judging by the tone of his voice, it was only natural for her to sense his jealousy toward his own son, no less. Therefore, she shifted the camera to her belly as she giggled in amusement.

Any tinge of displeasure or envy instantly vanished from Nicholas’ eyes as a soft, adoring look replaced them while he looked at Tessa’s bulging belly.

”Baby, it’s me, Daddy,” said Nicholas in a highly gentle voice.

Perhaps, as they say, ‘blood is thicker than water’, Tessa felt the baby in her belly move slightly after his words.

At this moment, a great sense of tenderness and contentment flowed in her heart.

Alas, before she could fully immerse herself in the joy of having a wonderful family, Nicholas’ slightly anxious voice rang in her ears. ”Honey, do you feel any movement from the baby?”

”Yes. She heard you when you called her just now.”

Tessa stroked her belly while beaming, all the while exuding a maternal aura due to her pregnancy.

He could barely hold onto his composure due to his apparent joy. Yet he still thought that she might just be coaxing him as he inquired, ”Did the baby really move? Why didn’t I see it?”
