That Can Be Arranged (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 289
“Daddy, I know that. I know that I can’t keep bothering Miss Tessa; and I’m very happy that she has taken care of me for so many days, but I’m still a little upset because I really like her very much.” Then, Gregory sighed and said hopefully, “I’m tired, Daddy. Will Miss Tessa come and visit me once I wake up?”
For a moment, Nicholas was speechless. Even though Gregory kept saying that he wouldn’t cling onto Tessa, he was actually being needier than before. Regarding this situation, Nicholas didn’t know whether it was a good or bad thing. In the end, he merely said coolly, “Go to sleep.”
After that, he tucked Gregory in and coaxed him to sleep.
Early the next morning, Gregory’s eyes popped open the moment it was bright and looked around. “Where’s Miss Tessa? Why isn’t she here yet?”
Unwittingly, Nicholas knitted his brows. “It’s so early now. Don’t start a tantrum.”
“Oh, I miss her and wish to see her the moment I wake up.” A disappointed Gregory lowered his eyes in sadness.
After a while, the nurse came to change the dressing for him, and when she saw that the slim figure who had been taking care of him in the room was gone, she couldn’t help but wonder, “Where’s Miss Tessa, Young Master Gregory?”

Immediately, Gregory pouted his lips and looked a little aggrieved, but when he saw the look his father was casting at him, he forced himself to suppress his whining. “Miss Tessa has her own life and I’m not a child who needs an adult to look after me all the time anymore. There’s no reason to have her revolve around me,” he grumbled unhappily.
Seeing a toddler saying all these big ideas seriously, the nurse almost turned into jelly. If it wasn’t for the fact that an aloof Nicholas was also in the room, she would have given Gregory a kiss and pinched his cheeks.
Chuckling, she said, “You’re very sensible, young master.”
Tilting his head, Gregory acknowledged, “That’s because Daddy and Miss Tessa taught me well!”
“Exactly!” The nurse couldn’t help but smile.
When the dressing was done, the ward was once again left with only Gregory and Nicholas, who was working the whole time and would only occasionally lift his gaze
at the child and get him some food and drinks.
Now that Gregory was bored to tears, he whined, “Daddy, why isn’t Miss Tessa here yet? Can you give her a call?”
Nicholas knew his son very well; Tessa only mentioned that she wouldn’t visit yesterday, but not today, and Gregory was already at his limit waiting for her for so long.
If this dragged on without an absolute answer, Gregory would definitely throw a tantrum. Hence, he took out his phone and gave Tessa a call.
The second the call was answered, Gregory hurriedly snatched the phone and greeted sweetly, “Miss Tessa!”
“Yeah,” Tessa answered casually. “What is it?”
Realizing that she wasn’t as friendly as she used to be, he shifted his tone and he sounded more cautious. “Miss Tessa, you… Aren’t you going to visit today?”
On the other end of the line, Tessa paused while packing, but she immediately answered with calmness, “I’ll be busy recently, so I won’t be visiting. Take good care in the hospital.”
