Chapter 1499 Miss Gulliver Is Here
"That's because of what happened when you were pregnant with Gordon. Gordon was a
naughty baby. He made you sick when he was inside your stomach," Gregory answered
with a tilt of his head.
Even now, he had not forgotten how sick his mother had been while pregnant with his
younger brother. She had been so ill that she couldn't even eat anything at the time.
On the other hand, Gordon immediately protested hotly when he heard his elder brother's
words, "I'm a good boy! I've never made Mommy sick!"
"That's because you don't remember," Gregory retorted seriously.
Those words made Gordon so furious that his cheeks puffed up in anger. "I was not
naughty! Don't you dare falsely accuse me, Greg!"
As Tessa watched her two sons bicker over her experience during her last pregnancy, she
could barely swallow the bubble of mirthful giggles that was about to escape her lips.
"That's enough. Stop arguing now." She stepped forward to stop the two boys. Then, she
comforted Gordon, who was on the verge of tears, "Don't cry, Gordon. Greg was just
pulling your leg. You were very well-behaved back then."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Gregory immediately looked like he wanted to make
an objection. However, he quickly swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue when
Nicholas gave him a fierce sideways look.

Nicholas coquettishly and went to comfort Gregory instead.
"I know you're just worried about me, Sweetheart. But my discomfort at the time has
nothing to do with Gordon. It was an issue with my body. Besides, I don't seem to be
suffering from any side effects during this pregnancy. So, there's no cause for you to
worry."
Although Gregory did not seem to fully understand what she meant, he nodded obediently
anyway. Then, a moment later, a thought seemed to occur to him. He glanced at Tessa
happily and declared loudly, "Mommy, I think I know why you don't feel sick this time! I'm
sure it's because the baby in your stomach is a little sister! Grandma said that girls are
very quiet, so the baby is definitely going to be a girl!"
She felt like laughing when she looked at her eldest son, who was very attached to the
idea of having a little sister. Nevertheless, her heart was filled with a sweet sense of
happiness.
The days passed as Tessa recuperated during her first trimester. Even so, she lived a
fulfilling life every single day.
She would spend the day playing with Gordon and practicing her violin, and then she
would help Gregory with his homework after he returned home from school in the evening.
On this day, Tessa had just coaxed Gordon to sleep when Andrew walked over and
knocked on the door lightly. Hence, she tiptoed out of the room and lightly closed the door
behind her.
"What's wrong, Andrew?" she asked with a glance at Andrew.
Andrew respectfully replied, "Madam Tessa, Miss Gulliver is here. She is currently waiting
downstairs."
She couldn't help feeling slightly taken aback by the news.
Sure enough, she saw Sabrina sitting on the couch when she went downstairs. Thus, she
walked over with a slight smile on her face. "Sabrina."
"Tess."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries for some time before Tessa finally asked about
the reason behind Sabrina's unexpected visit. "Did you visit me today for something?"
"The wedding dresses I custom-ordered previously have arrived, so I wanted to invite you
to accompany me to pick one," Sabrina nodded and bluntly stated the reason for her visit.
Naturally, Tessa had no reason to refuse.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the wedding dress boutique. The manager immediately
came forward to greet them warmly as soon as they stepped into the shop, "Miss Gulliver,
Madam Tessa."
"I received a phone call from your staff this morning saying that my custom-ordered
wedding dresses have arrived. So, I came here to have a look at them," Sabrina said while

The manager nodded. "They have indeed arrived. Please allow me to lead you inside to
view them, Miss Gulliver, Madam Tessa."
While the manager spoke, she invited them inside with a welcoming gesture before she
took the lead to guide them inside.
It did not take long before she guided them into a VIP private room.
"Please wait here. I will arrange for the staff to bring the dresses over immediately." After
that, she turned around and arranged for the staff to bring out the dresses for display.
A few minutes later, several employees in professional attire entered the private room
with wedding dresses in their hands. Under the illumination of the lights, these beautifully
crafted wedding dresses were so gorgeous and exquisite that nobody could bear to tear
their eyes away from them.
Even Tessa was stunned by the sight. When she came back to her senses, she glanced at
Sabrina in astonishment. "Are all of these the wedding dresses that you custom-ordered?"
Sabrina's eyes flickered slightly at those words, but she knew that now wasn't the time to
surprise Tessa with Nicholas' plans. Thus, she nodded and explained, "It should be said
that Timothy custom- ordered them. At the time, he asked me to choose the wedding
dress design. It was just that I liked every design and could not decide on any of them.
Therefore, he decided to order every one of the wedding dress designs that I liked. He
claimed that I could wear the rest on our future wedding anniversaries."
