Chapter 108

Still, Tessa was embarrassed. “I-I’m just afraid that you might misunderstand.”

Nicholas snorted. “Don’t worry. I won’t.”

Then, his gaze shifted toward Edward coldly.

Immediately, Edward flinched when he met Nicholas’s gaze. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.

President Sawyer and Miss Reinhart… Are you guys alright?”

Although he saw everything that had happened just now, he was afraid to mention it, as he was scared that Nicholas might command him to remove his eyes.

Still, did President Sawyer really just lose his kiss just like that?! If those young ladies after President Sawyer knew about this, they’ll surely go crazy and cause chaos.

However, Tessa was still in distress over how embarrassing she was instead of getting mad at his reply.

At this moment, she could still sense the temperature of the man’s lips on her own, and it was a really odd feeling.

Tessa’s heart skipped a beat before her face became even redder. At that moment, even the tips of her toes were starting to flush red as her heart continued racing as if it was about to lose her heart.

Upon seeing Tessa like that, Nicholas didn’t know why, but his mood somehow got better as the corners of his lips curled up. In no time, they reached Dynasty Gardens.

Staring at the woman next to him, who still had her head buried between her arms and was afraid to look up, Nicholas couldn’t help himself but ask, “How much longer do you want to act like an ostrich?

We are already here. Are you not planning to get out of the car?”

“Huh?”

Tessa stared at Nicholas for a while before realizing that they had reached their destination. Then, she quickly came back to her senses and jumped down from the car before the two of them entered the house, one after another.

When Gregory noticed they had returned, he quickly ran into Tessa’s arms. “Miss Pretty Lady, you’re back!”

Tessa had a grin as she carried Gregory up. “Yep! I’m back! And please, you’re making me blush with your constant ‘Miss Pretty Lady’. It’s Miss Tessa from now on.”

“Hehe, alright. Have you settled everything yet?” Gregory nuzzled against Tessa’s neck before asking in a worried tone.”

“Yes, Sweetheart. I did. Thanks for asking.”

Right then, Tessa felt a warm feeling coursing through her body before she asked in a sweet tone, “What about you? What did you do at home after I left?”

“I went to my secret base! Would you like to visit my secret base, Miss Tessa?”

Gregory looked at Tessa expectantly with his bright eyes while Tessa asked curiously, “What secret base?”

“It’s a place where only me and Daddy can enter. Let me show you my secret base, Miss Tessa.”

Gregory brightened up visibly at the mention of his secret base, as it was his favorite place to hang out.

At this moment, Tessa was taken aback. “Wouldn’t it be bad if you brought me to you and your father’s secret base?”

“Of course not! You can go because you’re my favorite person! Miss Tessa, I bet you’ll like that place too!”

Gregory jumped down from Tessa’s arms before he grabbed her hand and pulled her toward the basement. On the other hand, Nicholas gave them a conflicted look before trailing after them.

Then, the three of them reached the basement, one after another.

This was Tessa’s first time entering the basement, and she had always thought that the basement was a wine cellar, so she never expected to see something completely different down here.

The first thing that came into view when she entered the basement was a high-tech space with all sorts of advanced electronics. This is indeed a secret base!

There was an electronic display right in front of Tessa that took up about half of the room. It had access to the security system of Dynasty Gardens, and she could see the footage from all of the surveillance cameras clearly.

At the same time, there were also all sorts of robots in the basement. When the three of them had just entered the basement, one of the robots actually came over to greet them. “Young Master, you’re finally here! Do you need any help?”

Right then, Tessa ogled at the robot in shock, and it was obvious that she didn’t expect the robot to act so human-like.

Meanwhile, Gregory introduced the robot to Tessa chirpily. “Miss Tessa, this is my robot, Shadow.

Daddy got her for me on my birthday previously, and she would launch attacks if any outsiders trespassed this place! However, I’ll change the commands of this robot to recognize you as her owner the next time you enter my secret base because you’re my favorite person!”

Then, he took a remote control out and started entering a series of codes onto it.

A few seconds later, Tessa heard the robot speaking again. “Hello, my lady. My name is Shadow. May !

know if you have any orders?”

At that instance, Tessa didn’t know how to react.

My lady? That doesn’t sound right!

Still, she was more surprised than anything. “That’s so cool! Where is this robot from?”

Gregory grinned before replying, “Daddy got someone to customize it for me overseas!”

Upon hearing that, Tessa was amazed before she exclaimed again, “That’s really cool!”

Usually, Gregory was indifferent to compliments. However, it was different when it came from Tessa because anything she said made him happy.

Immediately, Gregory’s eyes brightened up as he dragged Tessa along and continued introducing her to other robots. “I still have many other robots. Come with me, Miss Tessa.”
