Chapter 351

“Miss Tessa, you look beautiful.”

Gregory was the first to return to his senses before he clapped and shouted in surprise.

At this time, Nicholas and Timothy also regained their composure.

“You’re beautiful,” Timothy praised Tessa as well.

When she heard all the compliments, she felt embarrassed.

Then, Nicholas walked over with Gregory in his arms. His handsome face bore the kind of tenderness that no one else had ever seen before. “See, I knew that this dress would compliment you well.”

With that, he raised his arm in Tessa’s direction and motioned for her to tuck her arm in his.

Only then did Tessa realize that the dress she wore had perfectly matched Nicholas’ black tuxedo.

When she thought of the man’s secret thoughts, her heart felt like it was dripping in honey.

When they were going out, Tessa held Nicholas’ arm while he carried Gregory.

As for Timothy, he followed behind them.

Hunky men and a beautiful woman with a cute child-it was a sight for sore eyes.

When they arrived at the banquet hall, the waiter present took the initiative to greet Nicholas and the rest of them with a subservient attitude.

At this time, there were already many guests wearing suits and leathers being accompanied by beautiful and elegant women in the banquet hall.

The soothing violin music created a cheerful atmosphere in the air.

Gregory looked left and right in Nicholas’s arms while Timothy also looked around without leaving a trace.

Nicholas leaned against Tessa’s ear and explained in a warm voice, “This banquet is organized by the cruise company, and only the guests of the VIP suite are eligible to enter. The purpose is to provide a place for the established guests to make connections, which is considered a fixture activity of this cruise ship.”

After she listened to his introduction, she looked curiously at the guests around her and found that they were all from all over the world.

It was a grand party with a magnificent atmosphere where these people seemed like they could have small talk with their peers.

At this time, a waiter came over and since Tessa was a little thirsty, she took a glass of juice from him and sipped on it.

Nicholas looked at her peaceful appearance just as the corners of his mouth curled up into a beautiful arc.

He turned his head and said to Timothy, “You may have unexpected results when you walk around.”

Timothy also had this intention. Since he wanted to expand the company, connections were essential.

When Tessa saw this, she did not interfere but looked at Nicholas and asked, “What about you? Do you want to establish connections?”

“My task today is to accompany you,” he replied softly in a tone that was full of tenderness.

Their eyes met, and they shared a sweet moment.

However, such a good atmosphere was ruined by Gregory who didn’t understand their meaningful glance.

“I want to accompany Miss Tessa too.” He raised his little hand and looked at Tessa with joy.

Helplessness danced in Nicholas’ eyes. If he had known earlier that this would happen, he would have asked Timothy to take the child away.

Tessa saw Nicholas’ depressed look and laughed. “Well, Greg, I’m very happy with you accompanying me too.”

After chatting and laughing for a while, they found a place with a good view where the sea breeze was blowing against the railing.

At this time, a man of foreign descent approached them.

He was a gentleman who seemed to be interested in Tessa as he asked her with a glass of wine, “Hey beautiful, I wonder whether I have the chance to invite you to a glass of wine.”

Tessa was stunned for a moment as she didn’t expect that someone would come to talk to her.

Just as she was about to refuse, she saw that Gregory had reached out from Nicholas’ arms and yelled, “Mommy, hug me.”

She was shocked.

The man was also slightly stunned, after which he looked at Gregory and at the stunning Nicholas standing next to her before breaking into a knowing smile.

“Sorry for bothering you,” the man apologized. Then, he turned around to leave without pestering her anymore.

At this time, Tessa also recovered from her shock. She hugged Gregory and asked, “Why did you suddenly say that?”

“Daddy taught me to say that.” He immediately betrayed his father.

Tessa didn’t know whether to laugh or cry while she looked at Nicholas standing next to her.

Nicholas noticed her gaze, and his expression was calm.
