    Chapter 1386 Jealousy


    "Fortunately, I''m not very tired."


    As she spoke, Tessa put down Gregory and reached for Gordon.


    Nichs asked as he handed Gordon over to her, "Was the performance smooth sailing tonight?"


    "Other than a minor mishap halfway through, it was sessful overall."


    She sat down on the couch with Gordon in her arms and briefly recounted the events of the night.


    However, when Nichs heard about the mishap, he couldn''t help but feel worried and asked, "What


    happened?"


    "My dress was deliberately damaged, and someone intended for me to embarrass myself on stage.


    However, during the performance, someone identally stepped on the hem of my dress and


    identally exposed me. I was so scared when I felt my skirt slipping off."


    She patted her chest in lingering fear.


    Seeing this, he couldn''t help but feel heartbroken.


    He could imagine how nervous and anxious she must have been at that moment.


    "What happened afterward? How was the situation handled?" he asked.


    "Thanks to the help of Hobbs, I was able to borrow Freya''s dress and avoid ruining the celebration,"


    Tessa said with a grateful look.


    Nichs smiled while patting her head as he muttered, "Thank goodness for Hobbs. We should thank


    him properly when we have the chance."


    She nodded.


    Later that night, the two children were getting sleepy, so Tessa took them back to the nursery.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Gordon was easy to tuck in and soon fell asleep with a gentle rocking of the cradle, but Gregory kept


    pestering her for a bedtime story.


    Naturally, Tessa indulged him, so she took out a book and began to tell a story with her soft voice.


    The gentle sound of her voice drifted out of the nursery and into Nichs'' ears downstairs. Listening to


    her voice, he felt that his life wasplete.


    However, he remembered what she had told him earlier that night, and the smile on his face faded as he


    picked up his phone and made a call.


    "Edward, investigate these two people for me. One is named Elisa, and the other is Hobbs. Both of them


    are nobles of the Janqash''s royal family."


    His wife was slow to catch on, and with someone helping her, she waspletely devoted to him. She


    probably didn''t know what was going on.


    That man was interested in her. Why else would he keep helping her?


    Clearly, this Hobbs had some issues.


    Thinking about this, Nichs felt a little suspicious, yet also a little proud.


    His wife had be increasingly excellent.


    However, the only problem was that she easily attracted rivals.


    Edward didn''t know about this. Although he was puzzled upon hearing his boss'' orders, he still carried


    them out.


    After hanging up the phone, Nichs couldn''t hear any more soundsing from upstairs, so he


    nned to go up and get Tessa.


    It was mainly because he was worried that if he didn''t go up, she would be tricked by Gregory into


    sleeping with him tonight.


    After all, she couldn''t resist it when Gregory acted cute.


    In fact, that was exactly what happened.


    Tessa couldn''t resist Gregory''s cuteness and agreed to stay.


    Just as she finished washing up and came out, she saw Nichs pushing the door open.


    "You''re here." She looked at him with a smile.


    Nichs nodded and looked at the bed, after which he noticed that both children were asleep. He then


    went over and carried her in his arms.


    "You''re not allowed to sleep with Gregory tonight," he said.


    He nced disapprovingly at his son, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.


    Daughters were always more consideratepared to sons.


    Tessa noticed his expression and knew exactly what Nichs was thinking.


    Sheughed and poked his chest with her hand as she said in a soft and yful tone, "Is there a father


    like you who gets jealous of his son?"


    "He''s always upying you."


    Nichs grunted as he took her back to their room.


    Tessa couldn''t help but smile wryly while leaning against his shoulder. "Gregory will probably argue with


    you again tomorrow morning."


    "It''s fine. That''s the only thing he can do."


    He didn''t pay much attention to Gregory''s fuss.


    Tessa didn''t know how to describe her feelings at the moment.


    This father-and-son duo probably had a fake rtionship.


    She was lost in thought as they returned to their room.
