    Chapter 13 This Woman Actually Lectured Me?


    Seeing Nichs’ message, Edward thought for a while, then decided to only send part of the


    information. He would discuss the rest with Kieran, and they would investigate further for confirmation


    before doing anything else.


    …


    Meanwhile, Nichs received information on Tessa. From what he saw, Tessa’s birth and experiences


    were typical, and he couldn’t find anything out of the blue.


    After graduating from college, Tessa frequently followed the orchestra on their tours. There was once


    when she chanced upon Gregory, but the two didn’t seem to have any interactions.


    After that, Gregory was the one who specifically asked for her to perform at the birthday party, clinging


    to her and refusing to let go.


    Nichs’ brows furrowed in contemtion because he couldn’t understand what was going on. While


    he was deep in thought, his son crept quietly onto the scene. “Daddy, can I discuss something with


    you?”


    He stared at Nichs with his bright eyes, an expectant look on his face.


    Nichs paused his train of thought and ruffled Gregory’s hair, nodding at the child. “Go on.”


    Gregory was hesitant as he asked tentatively, “Daddy, can I… sleep over at the prettydy’s house?”


    Nichs didn’t even think before he declined. “No!”N?velDrama.Org content.


    This child is getting bolder by the day. He hasn’t even known thedy for long, but now he’s asking to


    sleep over at her ce?


    “I knew you wouldn’t agree to it!”


    Greg humphed and lowered his head dejectedly. He even had a pitiful look on his face.


    Nichs didn’t want to see his son sad, so he gathered enough patience to ask, “Greg, can you tell


    Daddy why you like the prettydy so much?”


    After all, Gregory had gotten to know Tessa only recently, so he was being a little too chummy.


    In the next second, however, Greg said something shocking.


    He said in full earnestness, “I don’t know either. I just feel that she smells like Mommy. I want her to be


    my mommy!”


    What did you just say?!


    The identity of Gregory’s mother was unknown to both of them, and even Gregory had never seen his


    mother since birth.


    Nichs merely heard from Remus that this person would never exist in their life. At that time, Nichs


    was in a hurry to return to the special forces, so he couldn’t care less.


    However, he overlooked the fact that Gregory would crave motherly love!


    All these years, many daughters of rich families had racked their brains in order to be Gregory’s


    stepmother, and the child was extremely disdainful of them.


    But now, he said of his own ord that he wanted Tessa to be his mommy, and only now did Nichs


    recognize the gravity of the situation.


    If this goes on, this child will call Tessa mother by tomorrow! He shall not be anywhere near her again!


    Nichs recovered his usual expression and got ready to give him a lecture.


    However, before he could start, Gregory looked up at him pleadingly and begged, “Daddy, Greg wants


    a mommy. Pretty please? The kids at kindergarten said that I’m an unwanted child without a mommy.


    They sounded just like the old woman who scolded the prettydy just now. Daddy, I don’t want to be


    an unwanted child. I want a mommy too…”


    At that, the child’s eyes uncontrobly turned red. His pitiful look was enough to stab Nichs right in


    the heart.


    Nichs could still remember when he returned after retiring from the special forces. His rtionship


    with Gregory had been distant since then.


    Afterward, he had spent arge amount of time and effort and finally managed to get closer to his son.


    Now, if he declined Gregory’s request because of something insignificant, the child might start sulking.


    Greg was young, but he was also terrifyingly stubborn. If he got mad, even the whole family would not


    be able to appease him.


    Nichs fell silent as he began to think.


    Just then, Tessa had returned from the bathroom. Upon entering, she saw Greg with his reddened


    eyes, threatening to cry.


    She felt a tight squeeze on her heart as she hurried forward and asked in a gentle voice, “Sweetheart,


    what’s wrong?”


    Gregory was obviously upset as he hugged Tessa, burying his face in Tessa’s arms as he sobbed.


    Tessa was heartbroken by his sobbing, and she couldn’t help but look up at Nichs, saying in


    dissatisfaction, “President Sawyer, I know there are things I shouldn’t say, but I still feel the need to


    address this. It’spletely normal for children to be immature. You have to teach him and


    communicate with him. Greg is a smart child, so he definitely has his own reasons and thoughts. He’ll


    understand if you talk to him properly, so don’t scold him just like that. It’s very detrimental to your


    rtionship with him!”


    Nichs was stunned.
