    Chapter 636


    “Gregory looks so much like you,” J uttered with a smile as she went down the stairs with Nichs.


    Nichs nodded for a moment before he lowered his head to speak to the boy in his arms. “What have


    you done at home today?” he asked.


    “I finished my homework in the afternoon, and I stayed in the piano studio to think about Miss Tessa in


    the evening,” Gregory told his father about his day in a soft voice. When J saw how the father and


    son seemed absorbed in their two-person conversation, she felt terrible for herself as she couldn’t


    seem to be a part of it. She bit her lips in jealousy. He’s just a child that a surrogate mother gave birth


    to. Who is he to get so much of Nichs’ attention?


    Once they got to the hall, Nichs brought Gregory to the couch. J gazed at the identical father-


    and-son couple as she thought, If I want to be with Nichs, I’ll have to win over the young boy first.


    “This is my first time seeing you, and I don’t know what sort of toys you like, so I bought a few different


    ones, Gregory. I hope you like them.” J pulled out a few toys that she had bought. She ced the


    mixture of toy cars and airne figures on the table. Gregory took a look at them and nced at the


    woman as he felt a peculiar feeling in him. For some reason, I feel like thisdy is… trying to please


    me.


    Gregory blinked for a moment-the intelligent boy had quickly guessed that this woman had some


    ulterior motive. J had no idea that Gregory knew what she was trying to do. She curled her lips into


    a smile that she thought looked gentle and kind while she tried her best to get close to the small boy.


    But Gregory was familiar with such tactics, so he wasn’t intrigued at all.


    “Thank you for your kind gestures, Miss. However, I stopped ying with such toys when I was three,”


    he replied. J froze upon hearing the kid’s words, and the smile on her face turned stiff. Despite theAll text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    awkward situation, she tried her best to maintain her smile while she continued the conversation. “What


    do you like, then? I’ll buy you something else next time.”


    “I like violins, but my grandma collects tons of them, so I don’t need anymore.” Gregory rejected her


    with a straight look on his face. J was rather exasperated at this point, but she still kept a warm


    smile on her face. “It sounds like you really love violins.”


    “Of course. Miss Tessa is a great violinist,” he replied with his chin stuck up high to form a proud look


    on his face, “I’m going to be as great of a violinist as her someday,” he said. J could no longer keep


    the smile on her face when she heard Gregory praising the woman. She knew who Gregory was


    referring to, but she hadn’t expected the kid to have so much love for Tessa.


    J couldn’t help but nce at Nichs at this point. As expected, there was a pleased and


    contented smile on Nichs’ face when she looked at him. This made J unable to contain the


    jealousy she felt at that moment. I don’t understand. How is Tessa better than me?


    So, J tried even harder to get close to Gregory after that. “Gregory, do you want to hear about


    stories of your dad in the army?” she asked. She figured that boys would typically look forward to


    bing a part of the armed forces. It was true that Gregory was rather curious, but he didn’t want to


    give the woman a chance to please him. “Thanks, Miss. I’ll ask Daddy about it when! want to hear


    stories.”


    The more J arrived at a dead end with the kid, the more she felt a strong sense of dislike


    toward him. All that this boy talks about is Tessa. It sounds almost like she’s his biological mother! As


    much as she didn’t like the boy, she tried her best to control her emotions. She knew that she had to do


    so since she wasn’t with Nichs yet.


    A whileter, Andrew walked over before speaking in a respectful tone. “It’s time for dinner. Master


    Nichs.”


    Nichs nodded before turning to gaze at the woman, who didn’t seem like she had any ns of


    leaving. “You can eat with us,” he offered as a kind gesture.


    “Thank you for having me.” She nodded while smiling. She could tell that Nichs had wanted to send


    her off, but she pretended not to notice anything. After all, she knew that Nichs was a mannered


    man who would ask her to stay for dinner. When Gregory saw the sly look in J’s eyes, he stuck his


    lips out as he scoffed to himself.
