Chapter 361 Secret

Nicholas frowned. “Cover me for a bit. I’ll be coming back in two days.” And he hung up.

Tessa noticed the dark look on his face, and she was worried. “Did something happen back home?”

“No. Just talking about work with Kieran.” Nicholas omitted the most important part, but he did tell her

when he would be going back.

Tessa heaved a sigh of relief, but she also felt sad. The last two days had been a really happy time for

her. She didn’t want time to go by so quickly, nor did she want Nicholas and the others to leave so soon.

Gregory felt really sad hearing that they would be going home in two days. “Daddy, can I stay with Miss

Tessa?”

“No,” Nicholas refused without any hesitation. If Gregory stayed back, the Sawyers would know about

Tessa’s existence, and that would disturb her peaceful life. She only got that after working hard for it. I

don’t want to ruin it.

Gregory knew nothing about that, and he was disappointed and angry that his request was denied. But

he couldn’t do anything about it, for he knew his father would never change his decision. “You meanie!”

Gregory was upset, but he recovered quickly with Tessa’s help.

As he would be going home the next day, he spent all his time with Tessa. After a lot of playtime and

dinner later, Gregory looked exhausted.

Tessa wanted to get him to sleep, but Gregory wouldn’t leave her. “I’m not tired. I want to spend more

time with you, Miss Tessa.”

Tessa couldn’t get him to give up, so she let him come along. They didn’t go anywhere though. Nicholas

took them to the café for some coffee. Tessa and Gregory took one side of the table, and the lady played

with the boy. The men took the other side and talked about the software.

“If everything goes well, it should be usable in a few months.”

“Just a suggestion. Before this goes live, your team should come up with the next software’s design.”

The dim light illuminated them, their vague silhouette projected onto the glass window. Time flew by, and

the sky outside darkened.

When dusk came, Gregory was already leaning against Tessa, dozing off. Tessa was amused, but she

felt sad as well. She knew the boy was holding on because he wanted more time with her. “I’ll take you

back to the room, Gregory.” She picked him up and gave him no chance to say no. Then he told the

men, “I’ll take him back.”

They nodded and sent her off.

Once they reached the room, Tessa helped the boy bathe.

Gregory seemed to have recovered some strength. He held her hand and requested adamantly, “You

have to sleep with me tonight. I wanna sleep in your room,” he said, emphasizing the last sentence.

Tessa wouldn’t say no, so she nodded. After she was done bathing him, she wiped him dry and took him

to the bed. “Sleep now.” She tucked him in lovingly.

Gregory held her hand. He asked cutely, “Miss Tessa, I want to hear you sing.”

Tessa could not refuse him when he was looking so cute. “Alright, then.” She started humming and

patted the boy’s chest rhythmically. When she stopped singing, the boy had fallen asleep. She tucked

him in again and tiptoed out of the room.

When she came out, she saw Nicholas working on his laptop in the living room. “Oh, you’re back.

Where’s Timothy?” She went over to him, a sweet smile curling her lips.

Nicholas looked at her. “He’s back in his room, resting.”
