Chapter 683 I Want a Kiss Too


    “That’s great.” Tessa let out a breath of relief. She was worried that Cole had asked Nichs to go on missions again.


    As for J, Tessa couldn’t care less about her.


    That was because she trusted Nichs and their feelings for each other.


    As she thought of that, she stepped forward and circled her arms around his waist as she leaned her head against his chest.


    Nichs also took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her in a warm embrace.


    The sun shone on them, and the two lovers hugging was a beautiful sight.


    Tessa could hear Nichs’ heart beating while her nose was filled with his clean scent. Then, softly, she said, “Promise me that you won’t get hurt anymore. I won’t be able to take it.”


    “Don’t worry. I won’t be involved in any of it in the future.”


    Nichs tightened his embrace around Tessa in reassurance and love.


    The couple was being lovey-dovey as they enjoyed each other’spany in tranquil silence.


    At this time, Gregory woke up from his nap.


    When he went downstairs and saw the two locked in each other’s arms, he ran towards them with slight jealousy.


    “Miss Tessa, I want a hug too.”


    At the sound of that, Tessa broke into chuckles as she let Nichs go. “Come here. Let me give you a hug.”


    As she said that, she bent down and embraced Gregory.


    He cuddled in her arms happily, not forgetting to y up his adorableness. “Miss Tessa, I want a kiss too.”


    “Sure, I’ll give you a kiss.”


    Then, she smiled as she gave Gregory a peck on his cheeks.


    He chuckled happily as his round eyes curved up into the shape of crescent moons.


    Sure enough, he didn’t hesitate to throw a triumphant look at his father.


    Nichs found it hrious that his son waspeting for Tessa’s attention with him.


    Tessa had no idea that a secret battle between the father-son duo had taken ce right under her nose.


    With Gregory in her arms, she walked toward the living room and sat on the couch.


    Nichs followed behind and took a seat next to her naturally.


    He was worried that Tessa’s arms would be sore from carrying the boy as he recalled that Gregory had gained some weight recently. Hence, he stretched out his hands and offered, “Your arms are probably sore by now after carrying him. Let me take him.”


    “I’m fine. Plus, you have not fully recovered yet and can’t carry anything heavy. Have you forgotten what the doctor said?”


    She red at him with feigned anger.


    When he heard that, he lowered his gaze and smiled at Gregory, who was still in Tessa’s arms, “Get down. You’re a big boy now, and Miss Tessa would tire carrying you everywhere.”


    Although Gregory was reluctant, he slowly slid down from her embrace obediently.


    He couldn’t bear to be the reason Tessa became tired.


    “Miss Tessa, are your arms sore? Let me massage it for you.”


    As he spoke, he had already started to give her a massage.


    Tessa’s heart softened at the sight of this.


    At this moment, the three interacted harmoniously like a family.


    Their cheerfulughter traveled beyond the living room, making Andrew, who was delegating tasks in the garden, let out a relieved smile.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    It had been long since hest heard Nichs and Gregoryugh so heartily.


    Later in the day, Tessa asked Nichs, “Do you have any other ns in the evening?”


    “I’m nning to take Gregory to visit Old Master Sawyer at the hospitalter,” Nichs told her honestly.


    Tessa nodded. “Then I’ll go and meet Tim. He doesn’t know that I’m back yet.”


    “I’ll get Andrew to arrange a driver for you.”


    “Sure.”


    With that, the two took Gregory with them and left the house.


    At Reinhart Group, Tessa arrived at her brother’s office sessfully without any obstacles.


    In order to give her brother a surprise, she made sure everyone in thepany kept her visit a secret.


    When Timothy’s assistant noticed her sudden appearance outside the office, she was also shocked.


    “Miss Reinhart?”


    “Shush.”


    Tessa motioned for her to lower her voice as she whispered, “Is Tim in his office?”


    The assistant nodded and replied softly, “He is.”


    “Don’t mind me. I’ll head in by myself.”


    After Tessa said that, she went to knock on the door.


    Knock knock.


    “Come in.”


    Timothy’s cool voice traveled from his office.


    When Tessa entered the office, she saw her brother swamped with work. As she had not been able to watch his growth daily, to her, it seemed as though he had matured overnight.


    On the other hand, Timothy couldn’t help but frown when he only heard footsteps but no one announcing themselves.
