Chapter 523
Nicholas, Gregory, and Tessa were all eating together in a high-class private room of an Italian
restaurant.
During the meal, Tessa kept taking care of Gregory.
"Miss Tessa, you should eat too. Don't just take care of me.
Gregory then blinked while looking at her expectantly, giving her something that he thought was
delicious.
Understanding what he was hinting at, Tessa ate what he gave her.
After she chewed the dish a few times, she praised it by saying, "It's so good."
"I also thought that it was good. That's why I gave some to you."
Gregory beamed, and his eyes turned to crescents at the praise.
Tessa smiled even more, when she heard this. "But, I only thought that it was delicious because it was
given to me by you, Greg."
Her words made him overjoyed.
Nicholas looked at their interactions dotingly as he sat quietly by the side.
Later, Gregory, after finishing his meal, sat on his chair and entertained himself.

"How's your grandfather's condition?"
"He can be discharged tomorrow. Then, he just needs to recuperate at home. It's not a big deal,"
Nicholas told her truthfully.
Nodding, Tessa replied, "It's good that he's finally being discharged."
"Let's change the subject."
Nicholas smiled and said as he didn't want to continue this conversation.
So she nodded, and they then talked about the matter of her going abroad.
"I'll be going abroad in a few days. I don't suppose you two can come with me?"
Nicholas didn't deny it and only said, "With the current situation, I can't really live abroad for too long
anymore."
Gregory immediately retorted when he heard this, "Daddy, you not being able to do so doesn't mean
that I can't. Let me go live abroad with Miss Tessa. That way, I'll be able to have her all to myself."
Toward the end, he suddenly became giggly and bubbly at the thought.
Unfortunately, he was met with instant rejection the moment he finished saying those words. "No way."
"Why?" Gregory pouted unhappily.
"First off, your grandparents would never agree to this. Besides, Miss Tessa will need to take care of
you if you go with her on top of needing to manage a whole orchestra. Are you trying to work her to
death?"
After Gregory heard Nicholas' logical deduction, it made him hang his head in dismay.
Then, Tessa, who felt sorry for Gregory, hugged him and said comfortingly, "It's fine. Whenever I have
the time, I can come back to visit you. Besides, your daddy can also bring you to visit me whenever
he's free."
Her words made Nicholas nod in agreement. "Whenever we have time, I will visit you."
She looked up and saw his determined gaze causing her to smile sweetly while nodding in response.
However, her emotions still got affected, as she started to feel reluctant to leave.
Even if they hadn't been separated just yet.
Although she kept up her facade, Nicholas still noticed something, but he chose not to say anything at
the moment.
After they were finished with dinner, the trio returned home.
Tessa, with Gregory in tow, went to bathe.
After the bath, she coaxed him to sleep before tip toeing out of his room.

"Oh! Nicholas, what are you doing?"
Then, she smiled at the handsome man before her and added, "We should put a bell on you."
" I was worried that Greg wasn't letting you leave after waiting for you for so long."
Nicholas then carried her back to their bedroom without hiding his want for her.
After tussling about, Tessa laid relaxingly in his embrace.
The moment she started thinking that they were about to be separated, it made her feel sad and
reluctant to go.
"I really wish that time could pass by slower."
Nicholas lowered his gaze when he heard this, and saw that the woman in his arms had a very
mournful expression.
He kissed her forehead, then spoke in a sincere yet husky voice, "Rest assured. I will keep my promise
and visit you often."
In the coming days, maybe it was due to Tessa leaving soon; Nicholas tried his best to make time to
spend it with her.
Timothy also did the same thing.
And, of course, it was Gregory that was the most clingy.
