Chapter 678 A Family of Three


    Unfortunately, Nichs wasn’t moved by J’s effort at all and said indifferently, “Thanks.”


    J was very upset, and finally, she fixed her gaze on Tessa.


    As she regarded the girl’s delicate facial features and skin as fair as snow, she could not help but be green with envy.


    Although she had paid attention to maintaining her skin’s youthful condition these years, her years of training had made her skin feel much rougher than that of ordinary girls.


    Even so, she still felt Tessa was not much of a big deal.


    After all, good looks aren’t everything.


    Even though she was unimpressed inwardly, she still showed a faint smile. “I didn’t expect you to be the person Nichs constantly misses. Hello, I’m Nichs’ friend and also his closest teammate, J Brenner.”


    While speaking, she reached out her hand and took the initiative to walk toward Tessa.


    Tessa raised her brow slightly, reached out her hand, and shook hands with her. However, she immediately pulled her hand in the next second.


    She was certainly no idiot. Naturally, she heard the double meaning in the other party’s words a while ago.


    So, she smiled as she naturally linked arms with Nichs and said gracefully, “Hello, Miss Brenner. I’m Nichs’ fiancée. A pleasure to meet you.”


    Despite nodding indifferently, J could barely suppress the anger in her heart.


    The reason was the word ‘fiancée’ that escaped Tessa’s lips utterly won in terms of status since she was just an ex-colleague.


    It seems like this woman isn’t as harmless as she looks. She has some brains.


    At that thought, she changed the topic of the conversation and asked, “Nichs, are you going to have your breakfast? Let me have someone serve it.”


    Tessa frowned inexplicably at her words that made her seem like the host of this house.


    “Miss Brenner, have you eaten? Do you want to join us?”


    When J heard that, her eyes turned slightly cold.


    Because of Tessa’s words, she was at a disadvantage again. At the same time, her words also made a clear boundary on their statuses.


    J was the guest, whereas Tessa was the host.


    Nheless, J could only suppress her anger and agreed to join them for breakfast.


    She did so simply because she did not want to let Nichs be alone with Tessa.


    In the brightly lit dining hall, Tessa asked the servants to serve the breakfast she had made.


    Of course, she did not forget about the food J brought too.


    “What would you like to eat, Nichs? I’ll serve it for you.” She looked at Nichs tenderly.


    Nichs looked back at her and smiled. “I want to eat the salmon spinach quiche you made.”N?velDrama.Org content.


    Nodding, Tessa then served him a te of salmon spinach quiche.


    As for the breakfast that J brought, Nichs did not even look at it.


    Looking at the warm interaction between the two, J gritted her teeth secretly.


    At this moment, Tessa beckoned with a smile when she saw J had not touched her tableware for a long while, “Miss Brenner, help yourself and eat some too.”


    When she saw Tessa acting like the household’s mistress, she felt even more irate by the turn of events.


    As she was unwilling to let Tessa win, she pushed the te over when she saw Nichs had not tasted the breakfast she had brought.


    “Try this, Nichs. It tastes delicious.”


    However, as if he did not hear that, Nichs turned his head to the girl beside him and asked with a warm voice, “Aren’t you going to eat some?”


    “No, I have eaten with Greg earlier.”


    Unexpectedly, Gregory had already finished his ss just as Tessa finished saying this. He had a skip in his step as he made his way downstairs.


    “Daddy, you’re awake! Is your body feeling better?” His eyes were full of concern as he looked at Nichs.


    At this moment, he also spotted J, and the smile on his face turned distant. However, he still addressed her politely. “Good morning, Miss Brenner.”


    “Good morning, Greg.”


    Despite disliking the child, J still had to put up a facade.


    Gregory nodded and did not wish to pay further attention to her.


    Then, he turned to look at Tessa, and his smile turned into a genuine one again.


    “Miss Tessa, the teacher taught me to draw just now.”


    He happily trotted toward Tessa. Then, he threw himself directly into Tessa’s arms, raised his head, and chimed, “I drew a family of three. I drew all of us in there. Look.”


    As he spoke, he spread out the drawing sheet in his hand and handed it to Tessa as if he was offering a treasure.


    Tessa smiled as she picked it up to take a look, and she found that the drawing was well drawn.


    Although the lines of the portraits drawn on the paper were simple and unsophisticated, the colors matched well.
