Chapter 754

Chapter 754 Don’t Fall Out With Your Family Tessa nodded like a well-behaved school girl at Stefania’s words, feeling both relieved and rejoiced.

She could tell her mother-in-law hadn’t accepted her entirely, but it was only a matter of time since Stefania was now concerned about her health and the baby in her belly. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day either.

Nicholas had no clue what the two were talking about, and he couldn’t help feeling distraught when his Tessa still hadn’t returned to him.

When she finally did, he hurriedly went up to her and asked worriedly, “Are you okay?”

The more pressing question was if Stefania had given her a hard time.

Touched by how distraught he looked, Tessa held his hand and soothed him by saying, “I’m good.”

Meanwhile, Stefania was watching from the side, and she couldn’t help shooting an irritable glare at her son. “Relax, will you? I’m not going to chew her up.”

However, Nicholas was unbothered as he scrutinized his beloved, finally easing his mind when he saw that she wasn’t forcing a smile.

Soon, it was time for the Sawyers to board the plane, and Nicholas brought Tessa to bid them farewell.

Even at this time, Remus still held an aversion toward Nicholas and Tessa.

To that, Tobias and Stefania said nothing but only exhorted Nicolas to take good care of Gregory.

Keiran, on the other hand, didn’t have many misgivings. “Take care of yourself, alright, Tessa? As well my brother and unborn niece too,” he said while waving Tessa goodbye.

“I will, goodbye.” Tessa bid him farewell with a smile.

Very quickly, the group boarded the plane home.

During the journey back to the apartment, Nicholas hugged Tessa while asking, “What did my mom talk to you about?”

“Nothing much, we just chatted casually.”

Knowing he was worried about her, she looked up at him and said with a smile, “Relax, she really didn’t say anything awful or unpleasant to me.”

“Really?” He was skeptical.

Tessa chuckled to herself. “Really. Trust me, alright?”

Nicholas nodded and asked no more when he saw her bright smile.

Later, the two came home to find Timothy playing with Gregory in the living room.

“Mommy, Daddy, you’re back.” Gregory cheerfully ran up to the couple upon seeing them.

Tessa held the little guy and asked with a smile, “Did you behave while we were away?”

“I’ve always been a very good boy. Mommy, come and sit down. Don’t stand, or you’ll tire the baby,” Gregory urged Tessa to sit on the couch, dreading that the baby in Tessa’s belly would be exhausted.

As much as Tessa thought the little guy was being ridiculous, she was still touched, for she could tell the baby meant a lot to Gregory.

On the other hand, Nicholas and Timothy smiled dotingly as they silently watched the two interact.

“I should head back soon since Tess is okay now,” Timothy announced out of the blue sometime after the family of four messed around in the living room.

Tessa nodded in acknowledgment, then seemingly thought of something and turned to Nicholas. “When are you taking Gregory home?”

“I don’t want to go home. I want to stay with Mommy and baby,” Gregory interjected before Nicholas could even say anything.

While speaking, Gregory even latched onto Tessa’s arm, showing his determination.

At that, Nicholas smiled. “When did I say we’re leaving?”

While Gregory was elated at the news, Tessa frowned.

She was worried that Nicholas was staying to upset his grandfather because of what happened the night before.

With that, she shot a hinting glance at her brother, asking him to take Gregory away so she could have a moment with Nicholas.

Timothy understood immediately and took the little fellow away from the living room.

Meanwhile, Nicholas naturally caught the siblings’ silent conversation, and he held Tessa’s hand, asking, “What is it that you want to talk to me about?”

“Are you not willing to go back because of what happened yesterday? If that is the case, I don’t want you to fall out with your family because of me.”
