    Chapter 459 A Pleasant Dinner


    Hayley smiled when she spotted a strikingly handsome Nichs standing by the side of the street at a


    nce, but the smile froze on her face before she could drive over to greet him. As it turned out, she


    hadn’t noticed Tessa standing side by side with Nichs earlier due to the angle.


    At this moment, Nichs suddenly took a step back. Not only did Hayley see Tessa as a result, but she


    even saw Tessa holding Nichs’ arm and leaning her head on his shoulder!


    Hayley looked at Tessa as if she wanted to devour Tessa at this very moment. Never did she expect


    that Tessa woulde back. In an instant, rage welled up in her chest.


    Meanwhile, Tessa and Nichs didn’t notice Hayley at all; they didn’t wait long before Edward drove


    the car over. After getting into the car, Tessa nestled in Nichs’ arms and said with a smile, “Let’s go


    pick Greg up. I just texted Tim and told him to wait for us at the restaurant.”


    Nichs nodded before telling Edward to drive to Dynasty Gardens.


    When Gregory saw Tessa afterward, he was overwhelmed with excitement. “When did youe back,


    Miss Tessa?” After trotting toward Tessa and flinging his arms around her, he stared at her without


    blinking, his dark eyes glittering beautifully as though they contained the starry sky.


    Tessa bent down and held the little boy in her arms before kissing him affectionately on the cheek. She


    replied with a smile, “I came back this morning. Did you miss me?”


    “Yeah, I did! I missed you so, so much,” Gregory replied in a childlike voice that melted Tessa’s heart;


    he nodded vigorously while wrapping his arms around her neck.


    Nichs watched their interaction with a faint smile without disturbing them, knowing that Gregory had


    been in low spirits these days because he missed Tessa.


    As a result, Gregorytched onto her the entire time after that, and she allowed him to do what he


    wanted.


    When they arrived at the restaurant, Timothy was already sitting in the private room. While they were


    having dinner, he asked, “How long are you gonna stay here this time, Tess?”


    The instant he said that, Nichs and Gregory turned to look at Tessa as well.


    She replied with a faint smile, “I can stay here for a week.”


    “That’s great!” Gregory pped and cheered happily beside them. “Miss Tessa, can I stay with you


    every day?”


    “Sure.” Tessa affectionately tickled the little boy’s sharp nose.


    Nichs was smiling as well. Then, he said in a tender voice, “Well, I’ll find as much time as I can to


    keep you guyspany.”


    “Okay.” Tessa’s smiling eyes fell upon him.


    As the couple gazed at each other affectionately, a sweet scent seemed to emanate from them.


    As Timothy looked to the left and to the right, he suddenly felt that he was being forced into watching


    his sister and brother-inw’s public disy of affection again without being prepared for it. He


    interrupted the couple’s eye contact with a cough before saying, “Tess, Nichs, I know you two are a


    lovey-dovey couple, but could you please consider my feelings as a single man? And besides, Greg is


    here. Don’t be a bad influence on him.”

    To his dismay, as soon as he said that, Gregory covered his eyes with both hands and contradicted his


    words. “I didn’t see anything. Miss Tessa, don’t worry about me. Just keep doing what you’re doing with


    Daddy.”


    An astounded Timothy looked at Gregory with a look of distress before noting, “Greg, your mind has


    been corrupted.”


    Gregoryughed at the sight of Timothy’s theatrics.


    After this, merryughter was continuously heard from the private room, and the four had an extremely


    pleasant dinner.


    Atst, Timothy asked about the performance. “Tess, will you be performing during your orchestra’s


    performance this time?”


    “Nope, I won’t. I’m only here to chaperone the orchestra this time,” Tessa exined, though her voice


    carried a note of unconceble disappointment. “And besides, how could I have the opportunity to


    perform? I’m not considered a full-fledged violinist yet.”


    When he saw Tessa’s feigned cheerfulness, Timothy felt somewhat sorry for her before he encouraged,


    “Well, you don’t have the opportunity now, but it’s okay. I believe that by honing your skills little by little,


    you’ll definitely be able to amaze the world with your performance in the future.”
