Chapter 970 A Last Minute Trip

Did you forget about the grievances that Susan suffered? It’s no wonder Susan hates you

more with each passing day. On the other hand, Tessa was in a good mood now that

everything was settled. She even had the time to cook dinner.

Gregory gorged on the food during dinner, and his stomach bulged in protest. “Mommy,

my stomach hurts!” He frowned as he cried for help.

Tessa was amused yet exasperated by his actions and hurriedly asked the housekeeper to

bring over the bottle of Pepto-Bismol. “I told you not to eat so much. So now you know

how it feels, huh?”

She poked the little guy’s forehead fondly before feeding him the medicine. “Call your

Daddy. Let’s go and take a walk in the garden to help with your digestion.”

Gregory instantly ran to Nicholas and invited him, “Daddy, Mommy said to go for a walk.”

Nicholas would never disagree with spending quality time with his family.

That evening, the family of three strolled along the garden’s path.

The dim yellow light created shadows of the three, two big shades carefully encompassing

the small shadow. It was a beautiful and heartwarming sight.

At this moment, Nicholas’ phone rang. When he checked the caller ID, he saw that it was a

call from Kieran.

So, he picked up the call, and the two began to discuss some urgent company matters.

Tessa brought Gregory aside to play so as to not bother Nicholas.

After a while, Nicholas hung up the phone, but when he returned, he had a rather gloomy

expression on his face.

The moment Tessa realized something was off, she immediately asked worriedly, “What’s

wrong?”

“Something happened back in the company. I have to return to deal with it tomorrow

personally.”

Although he was reluctant to go, he had no choice.

Tessa felt rather upset that he was leaving so soon, but she didn’t voice out her thoughts

as she nodded and said in understanding, “It’s a good thing to go back once in a while.

You haven’t been back for New Year’s or your birthday. Your parents probably miss you

very much.”

On the other hand, Gregory was even more disinclined to his father leaving as he tugged

on Nicholas’ pants, questioning, “Daddy, after you leave, when are you coming back

again?”

“I’ll be back as soon as I’m done with work.”

Although the words were addressed to Gregory, Nicholas’ eyes were fixed on Tessa.

She just nodded and decided to stop having a stroll in the park.

Since Nicholas was leaving tomorrow, she would have to help him pack his things.

Later that night, the two hugged each other to express their reluctance to part as they lay

in bed.

“When I’m not around, you must take good care of yourself and the baby. No matter what

happens, you need to tell me immediately,” Nicholas instructed worriedly.

“I know. You have to take care of yourself when you go back as well. Don’t forget to eat,

even if you’re busy. I’ll get Timothy and Edward to keep an eye on you.”

Then, she wrapped her arms around his waist and elaborated, “Also, when you’re back

home, send my regards to mom and dad on behalf of Gregory and me. Once I’m free, I’ll

bring Gregory back to visit them.”

Nicholas nodded as he pressed his cheek against her head.

…

The following day, Nicholas brought Edward to the airport with him.

Not long after they entered, they bumped into Wanda.

Wanda looked at Nicholas with bright eyes and asked, “Are you going back? What a

coincidence. Me too!”

As a matter of fact, it wasn’t a coincidence. She had deliberately booked this flight when

she heard about Nicholas’ schedule today.

Nicholas looked at the beaming woman in front of him coldly. “What a coincidence,

indeed.”

He didn’t hide the sarcasm in his words, so it was only natural that she heard it, and the

smile on her face immediately stiffened.

Then, he ignored her and boarded the plane with Edward.

Wanda watched the man’s back leave and pursed her pink lips before deciding to chase

after him unwillingly.

Once she got on the plane, she sat directly next to Nicholas.

As expected, his expression immediately darkened, and the aura around him turned rather

hostile and chilly.

Edward, sitting next to Nicholas, shook his head discretely when he saw this.

She’s being more and more obvious each time.

However, Wanda pretended not to notice Nicholas’ displeasure and skillfully took the

initiative to talk to him. “Why didn’t Miss Tessa and Gregory go back with you? Is this a

last-minute decision?”

Nicholas shot her a hard look and hummed affirmatively.

A smile grew on her face when she noticed that the man still bothered to reply even when

he was unhappy.

Then, she continued to ask with concern, “It must be some emergency if you left in such a

hurry. Do you need my help?”

“It’s fine. It’s just some business matters.”
