    Chapter 970 A Last Minute Trip


    Did you forget about the grievances that Susan suffered? It’s no wonder Susan hates you more with


    each passing day. On the other hand, Tessa was in a good mood now that everything was settled. She


    even had the time to cook dinner.


    Gregory gorged on the food during dinner, and his stomach bulged in protest. “Mommy, my stomach


    hurts!” He frowned as he cried for help.


    Tessa was amused yet exasperated by his actions and hurriedly asked the housekeeper to bring over


    the bottle of Pepto-Bismol. “I told you not to eat so much. So now you know how it feels, huh?”


    She poked the little guy’s forehead fondly before feeding him the medicine. “Call your Daddy. Let’s go


    and take a walk in the garden to help with your digestion.”


    Gregory instantly ran to Nichs and invited him, “Daddy, Mommy said to go for a walk.”


    Nichs would never disagree with spending quality time with his family.


    That evening, the family of three strolled along the garden’s path.


    The dim yellow light created shadows of the three, two big shades carefully epassing the small


    shadow. It was a beautiful and heartwarming sight.


    At this moment, Nichs’ phone rang. When he checked the caller ID, he saw that it was a call from


    Kieran.

    So, he picked up the call, and the two began to discuss some urgentpany matters.


    Tessa brought Gregory aside to y so as to not bother Nichs.


    After a while, Nichs hung up the phone, but when he returned, he had a rather gloomy expression


    on his face.


    The moment Tessa realized something was off, she immediately asked worriedly, “What’s wrong?”


    “Something happened back in thepany. I have to return to deal with it tomorrow personally.”


    Although he was reluctant to go, he had no choice.


    Tessa felt rather upset that he was leaving so soon, but she didn’t voice out her thoughts as she


    nodded and said in understanding, “It’s a good thing to go back once in a while. You haven’t been back


    for New Year’s or your birthday. Your parents probably miss you very much.”


    On the other hand, Gregory was even more disinclined to his father leaving as he tugged on Nichs’


    pants, questioning, “Daddy, after you leave, when are youing back again?”


    “I’ll be back as soon as I’m done with work.”


    Although the words were addressed to Gregory, Nichs’ eyes were fixed on Tessa.


    She just nodded and decided to stop having a stroll in the park.


    Since Nichs was leaving tomorrow, she would have to help him pack his things.


    Later that night, the two hugged each other to express their reluctance to part as theyy in bed.


    “When I’m not around, you must take good care of yourself and the baby. No matter what happens, you


    need to tell me immediately,” Nichs instructed worriedly.


    “I know. You have to take care of yourself when you go back as well. Don’t forget to eat, even if you’re


    busy. I’ll get Timothy and Edward to keep an eye on you.”


    Then, she wrapped her arms around his waist and borated, “Also, when you’re back home, send my


    regards to mom and dad on behalf of Gregory and me. Once I’m free, I’ll bring Gregory back to visit


    them.”


    Nichs nodded as he pressed his cheek against her head.


    …


    The following day, Nichs brought Edward to the airport with him.


    Not long after they entered, they bumped into Wanda.


    Wanda looked at Nichs with bright eyes and asked, “Are you going back? What a coincidence. Me


    too!”


    As a matter of fact, it wasn’t a coincidence. She had deliberately booked this flight when she heard


    about Nichs’ schedule today.


    Nichs looked at the beaming woman in front of him coldly. “What a coincidence, indeed.”


    He didn’t hide the sarcasm in his words, so it was only natural that she heard it, and the smile on her


    face immediately stiffened.


    Then, he ignored her and boarded the ne with Edward.


    Wanda watched the man’s back leave and pursed her pink lips before deciding to chase after him


    unwillingly.


    Once she got on the ne, she sat directly next to Nichs.


    As expected, his expression immediately darkened, and the aura around him turned rather hostile and


    chilly.


    Edward, sitting next to Nichs, shook his head discretely when he saw this.


    She’s being more and more obvious each time.


    However, Wanda pretended not to notice Nichs’ displeasure and skillfully took the initiative to talk to


    him. “Why didn’t Miss Tessa and Gregory go back with you? Is this ast-minute decision?”


    Nichs shot her a hard look and hummed affirmatively.


    A smile grew on her face when she noticed that the man still bothered to reply even when he was


    unhappy.


    Then, she continued to ask with concern, “It must be some emergency if you left in such a hurry. Do


    you need my help?”


    “It’s fine. It’s just some business matters.”
