Chapter 1386 Jealousy
"Fortunately, I'm not very tired."
As she spoke, Tessa put down Gregory and reached for Gordon.
Nicholas asked as he handed Gordon over to her, "Was the performance smooth sailing
tonight?"
"Other than a minor mishap halfway through, it was successful overall."
She sat down on the couch with Gordon in her arms and briefly recounted the events of
the night.
However, when Nicholas heard about the mishap, he couldn't help but feel worried and
asked, "What happened?"
"My dress was deliberately damaged, and someone intended for me to embarrass myself
on stage. However, during the performance, someone accidentally stepped on the hem of
my dress and accidentally exposed me. I was so scared when I felt my skirt slipping off."
She patted her chest in lingering fear.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
He could imagine how nervous and anxious she must have been at that moment.

"What happened afterward? How was the situation handled?" he asked.
"Thanks to the help of Hobbs, I was able to borrow Freya's dress and avoid ruining the
celebration," Tessa said with a grateful look.
Nicholas smiled while patting her head as he muttered, "Thank goodness for Hobbs. We
should thank him properly when we have the chance."
She nodded.
Later that night, the two children were getting sleepy, so Tessa took them back to the
nursery.
Gordon was easy to tuck in and soon fell asleep with a gentle rocking of the cradle, but
Gregory kept pestering her for a bedtime story.
Naturally, Tessa indulged him, so she took out a book and began to tell a story with her
soft voice.
The gentle sound of her voice drifted out of the nursery and into Nicholas' ears downstairs.
Listening to her voice, he felt that his life was complete.
However, he remembered what she had told him earlier that night, and the smile on his
face faded as he picked up his phone and made a call.
"Edward, investigate these two people for me. One is named Elisa, and the other is Hobbs.
Both of them are nobles of the Janqash's royal family."
His wife was slow to catch on, and with someone helping her, she was completely devoted
to him. She probably didn't know what was going on.
That man was interested in her. Why else would he keep helping her?
Clearly, this Hobbs had some issues.
Thinking about this, Nicholas felt a little suspicious, yet also a little proud.
His wife had become increasingly excellent.
However, the only problem was that she easily attracted rivals.
Edward didn't know about this. Although he was puzzled upon hearing his boss' orders, he
still carried them out.
After hanging up the phone, Nicholas couldn't hear any more sounds coming from
upstairs, so he planned to go up and get Tessa.
It was mainly because he was worried that if he didn't go up, she would be tricked by
Gregory into sleeping with him tonight.
After all, she couldn't resist it when Gregory acted cute.
In fact, that was exactly what happened.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTessa couldn't resist Gregory's cuteness and agreed to stay.
Just as she finished washing up and came out, she saw Nicholas pushing the door open.
"You're here." She looked at him with a smile.
Nicholas nodded and looked at the bed, after which he noticed that both children were
asleep. He then went over and carried her in his arms.
"You're not allowed to sleep with Gregory tonight," he said.
He glanced disapprovingly at his son, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
Daughters were always more considerate compared to sons.
Tessa noticed his expression and knew exactly what Nicholas was thinking.
She laughed and poked his chest with her hand as she said in a soft and playful tone, "Is
there a father like you who gets jealous of his son?"
"He's always occupying you."
Nicholas grunted as he took her back to their room.
Tessa couldn't help but smile wryly while leaning against his shoulder. "Gregory will
probably argue with you again tomorrow morning."
"It's fine. That's the only thing he can do."
He didn't pay much attention to Gregory's fuss.
Tessa didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment.
This father-and-son duo probably had a fake relationship.
She was lost in thought as they returned to their room.
