    Chapter 957 Surprise


    Wanda’s lips curled into a barely-there smirk at those words. It seemed like her efforts had paid off, and


    she had seeded in staying by Nichs’ side.


    She thought that he would agree to her proposal considering the current circumstances. However, little


    did she know that he was far from agreeable to her suggestion.


    ”Can’t you even handle a woman? What use do I have for you?” Nichs shot daggers at Edward as


    he walked toward Wanda.


    Edward awkwardly scratched his head as he pulled a face but could not stop himself from wondering


    what Nichs would do. He nced at the two curiously as he pondered, Does he have a trick up his


    sleeve to stop that woman?


    Even Tessa, who was on the side, looked at Nichs in slight anticipation as she didn’t know what he


    would do to fend the woman off.


    On the other side, Wanda, who was pretending to be drunk, heard Nichs’ words, and dread rose in


    her heart.


    Nevertheless, her nerves were quickly reced by anticipation as she could feel the man she loved


    coming closer.


    Just as she was thinking about whether she should do something ‘untoward’ and me it on the


    alcoholter, she felt a sharp pain in her neck and copsed.


    Then, Nichs retracted his hand in satisfaction and ordered coldly, ”Now you have no excuse for


    being unable to get her out of my sight.”Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Edward gawked at Nichs’ swift strike, and his lips twitched in disbelief. Nevertheless, he could not


    help but admit that Nichs was indeed a decisive and reliable man.


    Next to Edward, Tessa couldn’t help the burst of giggles from escaping her lips at Nichs’ unexpected


    move.


    She watched as Edward carried Wanda away and walked toward Nichs with a somewhat worried


    expression. ”Would this be a problem in the future?”


    ”Nope,” he answered as he gently led Tessa into his embrace. ”Stop worrying about unimportant


    people. You’ve had a long day. You should rest.”


    As for Gregory, he was exhausted and had fallen asleep a long time ago.


    Tessa’s heart warmed at his disy of affection and concern.


    She knew he was worried about her health and shook her head, smiling. ”I’m not tired. Besides, I’ve got


    a present for you.”


    Nichs quirked his brow at her words.


    ”What present?” He looked at her curiously.


    Tessa smiled gently with a tinge of mischievousness. ”Follow me.” Then, she grabbed his hand and led


    him up the stairs.


    Soon, they arrived at the entrance to the bedroom, but she did not go in immediately as she was


    excited about the reveal. She recalled how he had given her numerous surprises in the past and gave


    him a cheeky look. ”Close your eyes.”


    He could not resist her request when he gazed down at her bright eyes and obediently shut his eyes as


    his lips continued to curve up into a small smile. ”Can I go in now?”


    ‘Yup,” she answered cheerfully and pulled him into the room.


    After she entered the room, she did not rush to switch on the lights because a faint light emitted from


    the bed.


    She led Nichs to the side of the bed before whispering, ”You can open your eyes now.”


    The next second, he opened his eyes to see something that surprised and touched him.


    On the huge bedy a pretty gift box emitting a soft light. Two exquisite watches were lying in the


    middle of the box with some white feathers surrounding them. It was a beautiful sight.


    Nichs instantly recognized that they were thetest limited edition watches for couples from Rolex.


    Then, Tessa picked up the men’s watch and helped Nichs wear it. ”When I first saw this watch, I


    immediately thought of you. Take a look. It suits you perfectly.”


    She regarded his wrist with joy and admiration as a beautiful smile crept up her face.


    He took a look at her before looking down at his new wristwatch. He could feel his heart melting at the


    sight since he knew how hard she worked to be able to afford such a watch.


    He had never been a materialistic man, but he was particrly fond of the watch only because it was a


    gift from his beloved wife, Tessa.


    Then, he took the initiative to pick up the women’s watch and wrapped it around her delicate wrist.


    He was pleased just looking at the couple’s watches on their wrists, which were identical but different in


    size.


    As they embraced each other, he suddenly realized that the surprise she had prepared was simr to


    what he had done before and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
