Chapter 744 Because I Love Her
After hearing that, only then did Timothy discover that Tessa had been going through such lengths to
gather money for his surgery during the one year of her disappearance.
He was in utter shock right then while his heart was feeling heavy from the guilt. After all, he felt that
he’d caused his sister to suffer too much. He didn’t even dare to think how desperate it had been for
her to think of such a way to earn money, as well as how much pain she had to bear when she was
separated from her own child.
At the thought of this, Timothy, who had been sitting upright, drooped his shoulders at once. “No
wonder Tess always seemed distracted when she first came back. Every time she saw an adorable
child, she would stare at the kid without moving an inch. This was why… This was why…” As he said
that, his eyes reddened while a lump formed in his throat. He covered his face sorrowfully and felt that
he owed Tessa so much that he wouldn’t be able to return everything in this life.
When Nicholas saw this, he didn’t disturb Timothy. He just remained silent on the side and waited for
Timothy to calm down.

his mind and he couldn’t help but overthink. “Well, are you together with Tess because she’s Gregory’s
mother?”
“Of course not. I was unaware of this in the beginning, but after some events and noticing how Gregory
treated your sister so differently, I only found out later that she’s actually Gregory’s mother.”
PlayvolumeAd Nicholas knew what was bothering Timothy, so he said bluntly, “I’m together with your
sister because I love her.”
Timothy was momentarily stunned by Nicholas’ seriousness, and he couldn’t help but laugh. Indeed,
based on Nicholas’ personality, no one could force him to be with Tessa if he didn’t love her. “My
apologies. I’m overthinking it.”
“It’s okay.” Nicholas didn’t take it to heart as it was normal for Timothy to have this thought after
everything he heard.
At this moment, Timothy didn’t know what to say anymore. So, he grabbed the cup on the table and
took a sip of water to get over the shock. After some time, he asked, “Are you… not going to tell Tess
about this?”
“It’s not the right time yet.” Nicholas shook his head and explained with a serious look, “If she knows
about this, she won’t be able to pursue her dream at ease like now. Also, I’m telling you this to let you
know that I won’t restrict your sister just because of the child’s presence. She has a dream, and I’ll fully
support her to help her achieve it. As for the family, I can take care of the child. It doesn’t have to be
your sister.”
After hearing that, it would be a lie if Timothy said that he wasn’t touched. After all, there were only a
handful of men like Nicholas who’d choose to take care of the family themselves and let their wife
pursue her dream.
Despite knowing that Gregory was Tessa’s child, Nicholas didn’t expose the truth and merely allowed
Tessa to pursue her dream abroad. This showed that he really loved her and that he only wished for
her to get what she wanted.
Just like what Nicholas said, if Tessa knew about this, she probably wouldn’t be able to casually head
overseas like now.

Timothy gradually accepted the fact that Gregory was Tessa’s son. At the same time, his impression of
Nicholas boosted sharply. “Thank you for accepting my sister.” He looked at Nicholas, evidently
touched.
Since he knew what Timothy was thinking, Nicholas said with a mere smile, “It’s nothing. I’ve always
supported her dreams, and I would like to see her confidently glowing on stage too.”
When Timothy heard that, he suddenly felt that it was so lucky of Tessa to have met a man like
Nicholas. After all, an ordinary man wouldn’t be able to do what Nicholas did.
After that, he asked Nicholas about his future plans. “Now that Tess is pregnant, will you marry her
soon?”
Afraid that Nicholas would misunderstand, he quickly explained, “I’m not forcing you into marriage.
However, since Tess is pregnant now and you two are planning to keep the baby, I’m just thinking that
you should give her some sort of status. After all, I don’t want her to be talked about behind her back,
saying that she has ulterior motives. Also…”
