Chapter 1146 No More Cooking
They had a meal in the afternoon, and this meal allowed them to really bond with one
another. After lunch, Alice sent Tessa back home before she headed off to work.
Once Tessa got home, she took a nap before she headed to her music room and practiced
her violin for two hours. Later in the evening, Tessa felt the urge to prepare her own
dinner, so she went into the kitchen.
When Gregory heard that his mother was cooking, he obediently followed along to help
her out in the kitchen. By the time Nicholas got home, Tessa had already cooked up a few
mouth-watering dishes.
Tessa spread her lips into a wide smile when she saw Nicholas. “You’re back. Hurry up and
wash your hands. Dinner’s ready.” She placed the dishes on the dining table. Right as she
straightened up, she felt Nicholas’ chest against her back.
“Why are you cooking? Didn’t I tell you not to engage in these risky activities? You

Also, your hands are meant to play the violin, so you should take good care of them,”
Nicholas uttered in a disapproving tone. He held her in his firm arms as he continued
nagging at her.
Tessa knew that Nicholas was simply worried about her overworking herself. The smile on
her face looked sweeter than ever. “Fine. This is the last time I’ll step in the kitchen until
our baby is born.” Tessa coaxed Nicholas as she turned around to wrap her arms around
his neck. Only then did Nicholas relax his tightly knitted brows. “I’ll take your word for it.
This will be the last time, okay?”
“Yeah.” Tessa nodded obediently. After that, the whole family enjoyed their meal while
they chatted with one another. Nicholas asked Tessa about her trip to the hospital earlier
that day. “Did Old Mrs. Reinhart cause you any trouble?” he asked. “No, she doesn’t have
the guts to do that now.” Tessa shook her head with a smile.
Once they were done with their meal, Tessa sat in the living hall, where she played with
some Lego blocks with Gregory. Nicholas, on the other hand, sat on the couch as he
watched the news. The news reporter happened to talk about the Muller Group’s recent
state.
“Recently, Sawyer Group terminated their partnership with Muller Group after Muller
Group offended President Sawyer’s wife. Furthermore, Sawyer Group also blacklisted
Muller Group, causing other companies to terminate their partnerships with Muller Group
one after another.
This has resulted in a huge drop in Muller Group’s stock price, and it is unclear what Muller
Group’s next steps are…” Tessa froze when she heard the script that the news reporter
was reciting. She hadn’t expected this to be on the news, and she gazed at Nicholas
worriedly after hearing about it.
“What is it?” Nicholas turned around when he realized that Tessa was staring at him. Tessa
told him exactly what she was thinking. “Wouldn’t this news report further affect Sawyer
Group?”
“No. No one can affect Sawyer Group,” Nicholas uttered in a firm tone as he shook his
head. He was confident with his words since he knew how powerful he was.

In the meantime, Wanda had returned to the Muller Residence with lethargy written all

company. Horace felt rather sorry for his granddaughter when he saw the state that she
was in.
At the same time, he thought that Nicholas was way too heartless. It’s as if he doesn’t
care about the relationship between our families at all. Horace sighed as he sat down
beside Wanda. “You should’ve listened to me from the start. You shouldn’t have messed
with Nicholas,” Horace uttered in a heavy tone.
Wanda simply pressed her lips together without saying anything. Horace knew what was
going on in Wanda’s mind when he saw the stubborn look on her face. “I know you feel
like this is unfair. But if you think about it, any other woman who tried to get close to
Nicholas has never succeeded.”
“Well, those women were too stupid.” Wanda didn’t want her grandfather to compare her
to other women. She thought that she was different from the rest of them.
However, Horace simply let out a loud scoff. “If you call them dumb, then are you saying
that you’re smarter than them? How is your outcome any different from all those women?”
Horace felt rather sad at the thought of how his granddaughter seemed to have followed
in the footsteps of those other women. He also felt both angry and sorry for her.
