Chapter 1085
Always Been Yours
Both Nicholas and Tessa were looking deep into the other personâs eyes when the picture was taken, and one could feel the connection between their gazes even through looking at the photo. Their sharp and flawless features made the photo look even more eyeâcatching.
âLook. Did I do a good job? You look really good, Mr. Sawyer. Of course, you look extremely stunning too, Mrs. Sawyer.â Alina handed the camera to Nicholas and Tessa while praising them.
Tessa took a look at the picture and agreed that it was a good shot. She nodded in satisfaction, and they took a few more photos in the café before switching spots to find another background. Their first spot was at a flower garden that Alina suggestedâAlina thought that itâd be a waste of the coupleâs gorgeous looks if they didnât take pictures at a spot as magicalâlooking as the flower garden on the island.
âLower your head and look at her, Mr. Sawyer. Thatâs right!â Alina gave out orders to Nicholas as she took pictures of them. Nicholas didnât seem to mind it, and Alina took a few more stunning shots of him holding Tessa in his arms.
After they were done at the flower garden, they moved to the seaside. With their backs facing the ocean, Nicholas wrapped his arms around Tessa for a few pictures, and he pressed his forehead against hers for a few others. They were looking into one anotherâs eyes, and their gazes were filled with love.
By the end of the photoshoot, Alina didnât need to give instructions at allâNicholas already knew what sort of poses to do.
Lastly, they went to a childâs playground that made them feel like they were in a fairytale. Before Tessa knew what was going on, she watched the man getting onto one knee before kissing her belly with a gentle gaze in his eyes.
âNicholasâ¦â Tessa was shocked, and she lowered her head to look at him. When he looked up to meet her eyes, she felt like she could drown in that loving gaze of his. âThis is our precious little gem. I canât wait for our baby to see the world, and I hope everything goes smoothly until then,â he uttered.
Tessa pressed her lips together as she felt tears forming in her eyes. Meanwhile, Alina, who was watching this from afar, didnât stop pressing the shutter at all. What sort of magical love do they have for each other? Iâm so envious! she thought. The three of them traveled to a few more spots throughout the afternoon, and they ended up with more than 100 pictures.
Toward the end, Tessa was starting to feel tired, but Alina was still excited about the photoshoot. It had been a while since she had such an enjoyable shoot.
âThereâs a water park on the island, Mrs. Sawyer. Why donât we take some pictures in the water there?â
Alina tried to convince Tessa to take more pictures.
As they went around, Alina gradually noticed that Nicholas was fully compliant with his wifeâs orders, even though he seemed like the stern and icy one. Mr. Sawyer will agree to anything as long as his wife says so, she thought.
Unfortunately, Nicholas saw right through Alina. âThatâs enough. My wife is getting tired,â Nicholas uttered.
Alina felt rather bad when she heard this, and she quickly turned to gaze at Tessa. Tessa was indeed starting to feel tiredâafter all, it was hard for her to walk too much with such a huge belly.
Tessa smiled when she met Alinaâs gaze. âLetâs end things here for today. Weâve taken quite a number of pictures, so I think it should be enough,â Tessa said.
âWe did take a lot of them. I scrolled through the pictures, and I think there are more than a hundred of them,â Alina replied with a smile. Even though she felt like it was a shame for their photoshoot to end there, she was still happy with the photos she had taken. Furthermore, she couldnât tire a pregnant lady out for the sake of her own enjoyment. At that thought, she quickly assured the couple about their photos. âIâm pretty sure you guys will be pleased with how the printed pictures look,â she said.
âAlright. We look forward to the end product,â Tessa replied with a smile.
âHow much are these?â Nicholas asked upon hearing Alinaâs words.
âThereâs no rush. Iâll tell you the amount when you come over to collect these pictures tomorrow,â Alina replied.
Nicholas was surprised to hear that Alina didnât want her payment right there and then.
Tessa was just as puzzled. âArenât you afraid that we wonât show up?â Tessa asked.
âI trust that you guys arenât that sort of people,â Alina replied Tessa with a firm smile. âAlright. Itâs getting late.
I shouldnât take up any more of your timeâIâll head home to work on the pictures now. Bye!â Alina waved them goodbye before rushing off excitedly.
Tessa felt oddly amused at the sight of the girl who was rushing away.
Nicholas, on the other hand, curled his lips into a smile when he saw the tired but happy look on Tessaâs face.
