    Chapter 92


    Without overthinking, Tessa answered, “About three to four years back, perhaps? I can’t remember, but


    it should be around that point.”


    Nichs knitted his eyebrows in bewilderment. Three to four years back? That doesn’t match the time


    frame because thatdy already had it five years ago. Is she lying, or did I mistake someone else for


    her? Between the two possibilities, Nichs was more inclined to believe thetter because it seemed


    to him that it was too much of a coincidence for Tessa to be Gregory’s mother.


    Soon, Tessa snapped out of her trance and saw Nichs absorbed in his thoughts, asking, “Are you


    alright, President Sawyer?”


    Nichs returned to his senses and calmly replied, “Oh, nothing. It’s going to get cold at night, so be


    sure to change your clothes because you don’t want to catch a cold.”


    Tessa sniffled and felt the chilly atmosphere around her, breathing in the chilly air through her nostrils.


    Thus, she immediately nodded and left with Nichs.


    As both of them remained silent on their way back, Tessa couldn’t help but feel embarrassed because


    she couldn’t stop thinking about the moment that she and Nichs shared a kiss underwater.


    At the thought of that sensation, she felt goosebumps running all over her body. Furthermore, when


    she was rescued from drowning moments ago, she was still too befuddled to think straight and give a


    proper answer to the questions she was asked. In fact, the butterfly tattoo on her shoulder was right on


    the mark Lauren left her many years back.


    Back then, Tessa was at her wits’ end when she ran out of options to raise funds for her brother’s


    surgical treatment. Thus, she was forced to return to Ss for help at the Reinhart Residence, where


    she ran into Lauren and Sophia instead. Due to their hatred for the sibling duo, the mother and


    daughter immediately turned Tessa away, driving her out of the house with a broom, while Lauren grew


    so mad that she even hurled a vase at her in the process.


    Although the wound subsequently recovered, Tessa’s shoulder was left with a hideous scar on it. In


    order to avoid scaring people with it, she decided to cover the scar with some tattoos. Needless to say,


    she didn’t think it was necessary to reveal too much of her past, which she was not proud of, so she


    downyed her story without any intention of correcting it, even though she got some of it wrong.


    Not long after that, the two of them headed upstairs just when Tessa looked at Nichs and said, “Rest


    well, and good night.” After that, she returned to her room and took a shower, whereupon she changed


    into her pajamas and went to bed.


    The next morning, Gregory woke up and proceeded to go about his morning ablutions. After changing


    into some clean clothes, he walked to the guest room and politely knocked on the door.


    “Miss Pretty Lady, it’s time for breakfast.” When he heard nothing from the inside, he tipped his toes in


    confusion and turned the doorknob before he opened the door and entered the room. “Are you still


    sleeping, Miss Pretty Lady?” Gregory approached the bed and gently asked.


    Tessa woke up to the noise in the room and responded in a befuddled manner. Then, she opened her


    eyes just when the first thing that came to her view was the boy’s adorable face. She then smiled at


    Sweetheart? You’re up.” She struggled to sit up straight and creep off the bed, but as soon as her feet


    landed on the ground, her head felt so dizzy that she fell backward and copsed onto the bed once


    more.


    “What’s wrong, Miss Pretty Lady?” Gregory could tell something was wrong, asking with a concerned


    voice.


    Tessa shook her head while trying to tell the boy that she was fine, but her headache hurt her so much


    that she began to knit her eyebrows obviously and tightly.

    Worried, Gregory quickly sprang off his bed and scurried away. “Wait for me, Miss Pretty Lady! I’ll get


    Daddy right now!” Then, the boy made his way to Nichs’s room and started patting the door rapidly.


    “Daddy! Daddy!”


    At that moment, Nichs was already awake as he was changing his clothes. Later, he opened the


    door even before he managed to button his shirt just when Gregory seized his hand. “Help! Miss Pretty


    Lady needs help!”
