Chapter 1143 Calligraphy Competition

Tessa felt like she was about to melt when she saw the look on Gregory’s face. Gregory

started pestering his mother after that. “What did Daddy give you this time, Mommy?

Let’s not take his gift. I’ll buy one for you. It’ll be better than what Daddy gave you.”

Tessa burst out in laughter when she heard Gregory’s words. In the end, she had no choice

but to tell Gregory the truth. “Your father didn’t give me anything. I simply found out that

my album sales are doing really well and that I’ve received a lot of good comments online.

That was why I was so happy.”

“Woah. You’re amazing, Mommy!” Gregory clapped his hands in celebration of what Tessa

said. While they were talking to each other, Gregory’s calligraphy teacher walked into the

hall. His teacher, Quinton Hall, was a strict and well-known intellectual. He greeted Tessa

when he saw her from afar. “Hey, Miss Reinhart.”

Tessa froze before she stood up to greet him. “Is anything the matter, Mr. Hall?”

“Well, there’s something I’d like to talk to you about. Gregory is doing really well in his

calligraphy class, and there happens to be a local youth calligraphy competition

happening soon. I was wondering if Gregory could participate in it, Miss Reinhart.” Quinton

explained his intentions before looking at Tessa hopefully.

Tessa found this to be a good idea. Mr. Hall is a professional in calligraphy himself, so I’m

sure his students can do better than the average person as well, Tessa figured. “You’re too

nice, Mr. Hall. Gregory’s your student—if you think he’s good enough, then you can just

sign him up for the competition.”

Quinton felt more at ease upon hearing how respectful Tessa was toward him. He had

grinned so widely that his eyes were crinkled. Well, come to think of it, Gregory is my final

private student. At this age, I should be resting at home and enjoying my retirement, but

Mr. Sawyer was eager to have me as Gregory’s teacher. That was why I agreed, and that

was also how I got lucky enough to find myself such a talented child.

“As long as everything goes well, I’m sure Gregory will win something in this competition,”

Quinton uttered as he was reminded of Gregory’s talent.

Tessa was overjoyed to hear Quinton’s praise for her son. “Look, Gregory. Mr. Hall has such

high hopes for you. You’ll have to work hard,” she encouraged Gregory. Gregory nodded

obediently. “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll work really hard.”

Tessa ruffled Gregory’s hair lovingly when she saw the serious expression on his face. After

that, she had a conversation with Quinton about the process of the competition and some

of the details surrounding it. Quinton patiently explained all the details and rules to Tessa

before he headed off.

After Quinton registered for Gregory that night, he made another phone call to Dynasty

Gardens. “I’ve completed the registration, Miss Reinhart. You’ll have to make sure Gregory

practices his calligraphy.”

“Alright. Thank you so much, Mr. Hall.” Tessa beamed as she ended the call. At that very

moment, Nicholas entered the house dressed in a black suit. He happened to overhear

Tessa from behind, so he asked her about the call. “What’s up with Mr. Hall?” Nicholas

looked up at Quinton. Moreover, he was the one who hired Quinton, so he was especially

attentive to the mention of Quinton’s name.

Tessa stood up to greet Nicholas with a smile when she heard his voice. “You’re back!”

“Slow down. Be careful.” Nicholas hurried over to help Tessa when he saw her standing up.

After all, Tessa’s belly was getting bigger. Tessa felt warmth spreading across her chest

when she saw how thoughtful Nicholas was. “I am being careful. You don’t have to treat

me like a porcelain doll,” she said. Nicholas simply smiled without saying anything.

After that, he held her hand and led her to the couch before revisiting the topic earlier.

“You were speaking to Mr. Hall earlier, right? Was Gregory being naughty in class?”

Coincidentally, Gregory happened to overhear their conversation at this very moment, and

he quickly protested against his father’s words. “How could you say that I was being

naughty? I was such a good student.”

Gregory turned to complain to Tessa after that. “Look at that, Mommy. How could Daddy

talk bad about me? I was being so good,” he said.
