Chapter 13 This Woman Actually Lectured Me?

Seeing Nicholas’ message, Edward thought for a while, then decided to only send part of the information. He would discuss the rest with Kieran, and they would investigate further for confirmation before doing anything else.

Meanwhile, Nicholas received information on Tessa. From what he saw, Tessa’s birth and experiences were typical, and he couldn’t find anything out of the blue.

After graduating from college, Tessa frequently followed the orchestra on their tours. There was once when she chanced upon Gregory, but the two didn’t seem to have any interactions.

After that, Gregory was the one who specifically asked for her to perform at the birthday party, clinging to her and refusing to let go.

Nicholas’ brows furrowed in contemplation because he couldn’t understand what was going on. While he was deep in thought, his son crept quietly onto the scene. “Daddy, can I discuss something with you?”

He stared at Nicholas with his bright eyes, an expectant look on his face.

Nicholas paused his train of thought and ruffled Gregory’s hair, nodding at the child. “Go on.”

Gregory was hesitant as he asked tentatively, “Daddy, can I… sleep over at the pretty lady’s house?”

Nicholas didn’t even think before he declined. “No!”

This child is getting bolder by the day. He hasn’t even known the lady for long, but now he’s asking to sleep over at her place?

“I knew you wouldn’t agree to it!”

Greg humphed and lowered his head dejectedly. He even had a pitiful look on his face.

Nicholas didn’t want to see his son sad, so he gathered enough patience to ask, “Greg, can you tell Daddy why you like the pretty lady so much?”

After all, Gregory had gotten to know Tessa only recently, so he was being a little too chummy.

In the next second, however, Greg said something shocking.

He said in full earnestness, “I don’t know either. I just feel that she smells like Mommy. I want her to be my mommy!”

What did you just say?!

The identity of Gregory’s mother was unknown to both of them, and even Gregory had never seen his mother since birth.

Nicholas merely heard from Remus that this person would never exist in their life. At that time, Nicholas was in a hurry to return to the special forces, so he couldn’t care less.

However, he overlooked the fact that Gregory would crave motherly love!

All these years, many daughters of rich families had racked their brains in order to become Gregory’s stepmother, and the child was extremely disdainful of them.

But now, he said of his own accord that he wanted Tessa to be his mommy, and only now did Nicholas recognize the gravity of the situation.

If this goes on, this child will call Tessa mother by tomorrow! He shall not be anywhere near her again!

Nicholas recovered his usual expression and got ready to give him a lecture.

However, before he could start, Gregory looked up at him pleadingly and begged, “Daddy, Greg wants a mommy. Pretty please? The kids at kindergarten said that I’m an unwanted child without a mommy. They sounded just like the old woman who scolded the pretty lady just now. Daddy, I don’t want to be an unwanted child. I want a mommy too…”

At that, the child’s eyes uncontrollably turned red. His pitiful look was enough to stab Nicholas right in the heart.

Nicholas could still remember when he returned after retiring from the special forces. His relationship with Gregory had been distant since then.

Afterward, he had spent a large amount of time and effort and finally managed to get closer to his son.

Now, if he declined Gregory’s request because of something insignificant, the child might start sulking.

Greg was young, but he was also terrifyingly stubborn. If he got mad, even the whole family would not be able to appease him.

Nicholas fell silent as he began to think.

Just then, Tessa had returned from the bathroom. Upon entering, she saw Greg with his reddened eyes, threatening to cry.

She felt a tight squeeze on her heart as she hurried forward and asked in a gentle voice, “Sweetheart, what’s wrong?”

Gregory was obviously upset as he hugged Tessa, burying his face in Tessa’s arms as he sobbed.

Tessa was heartbroken by his sobbing, and she couldn’t help but look up at Nicholas, saying in dissatisfaction, “President Sawyer, I know there are things I shouldn’t say, but I still feel the need to address this. It’s completely normal for children to be immature. You have to teach him and communicate with him. Greg is a smart child, so he definitely has his own reasons and thoughts. He’ll understand if you talk to him properly, so don’t scold him just like that. It’s very detrimental to your relationship with him!”

Nicholas was stunned. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
