Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 720 An Unexpected Visitor

As Gregory’s adorable look and coy attitude began to soften up Remus, the older man eventually accepted the present. He then carried the child in his arms and playfully asked, “I’ve accepted a lot of presents from the others, so where is yours?”

“My present is with Daddy. Come on, Daddy. Let’s bring my present to Great-grandpa.” Gregory eagerly waved at his father, who nodded and took the present from his assistant, whereupon he stepped forward with it. “See, Great-grandpa? My teacher taught me how to write this calligraphy. I wrote hundreds of words here as a blessing of long life to you, Great-grandpa.” The child proudly presented his gift, which was a paper with rows of calligraphy writings on it.

While Remus liked the present very much, he told Ian to frame it and hang it in his study. Then, the other guests proceeded to present their gifts to the older man until the feast came to an end. After that, Nicholas was about to walk away with Gregory asleep in his arms, only to be called out to by Remus. “Take Mr. Muller and Wanda back home for me.” Worried that his grandson might disobey him again, Remus added, “See them home by yourself and leave your assistant out of this.”

While there were others around, Nicholas was bound by his respect for his grandfather to obey the latter. Therefore, he was forced to leave Gregory to Stefania and took Horace and Wanda home by himself. As they were on their way to their destination, Wanda seemed to have forgotten about the awkwardness she went through earlier that night and went on to start a conversation with Nicholas once again. Out of courtesy, Nicholas responded with brief replies instead of leaving her in the cold. On the other hand, Horace, who was silently watching their interaction on the side, smiled brightly at the thought of a perfect couple they would make.

By the time Nicholas returned home, it was almost midnight. Then, he went on to take his shower shortly before he received Tessa’s video call. “Are you back? How was the feast?”

“Everything went well.” Knowing Tessa’s concern about Remus’ birthday feast, Nicholas proceeded to tell her what had happened earlier that night.

When Nicholas talked about the part in which everyone presented their gifts to Remus, Tessa nervously asked, “Did your grandpa like my present?”

“Yeah, he likes it, of course.” Although Remus acted as if he didn’t like the classic literature, Nicholas knew Tessa’s present was up his grandfather’s alley.

Meanwhile, when Tessa heard from Nicholas that Remus liked her present very much, she felt over the moon. After that, both of them went on to chat for a bit until she realized it was getting late and urged Nicholas to get some rest. “It’s been a long day for you. Go to bed now.” Nicholas nodded in response and said goodbye to her before hanging up the call.
