Chapter 886
Always Been Yours
Chapter 886 Merry Christmas In the blink of an eye, it was already Christmas eve. After greeting the guests, Tessa got them to gather in the living room to discuss how they should spend Christmas. Since they were overseas, this year would be a meaningful celebration that should be planned well.
This is the first time weâd be spending the festive season together. Fingers crossed that itâd turn out amazing.
âLetâs have the family lunch in advance, seeing that your concert will be held tomorrow night. That way, I can accompany you to the concert,â Nicholas suggested as he held on to Tessaâs hand.
âSounds like a good plan.â Tessa nodded. Both Timothy and Gregory had no objections to the arrangements.

The next morning, Tessa woke up early as she planned to personally prepare the family lunch.
Just when she was about to get out of bed, Nicholas grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms before greeting her in a deep voice, âMerry Christmas.â
âMerry Christmas.â Tessa looked up and smiled at him.
Both of them cuddled for a while before washing up. At the same time, Timothy and Gregory were already up and hanging out in the living room. Both of them beamed from ear to ear when they saw Tessa and Nicholas coming down.
âTessa, Nicholas, Merry Christmas.â
âDaddy, Mommy, Merry Christmas.â
âMerry Christmas,â Tessa replied with a smile. Nicholas, who was in a good mood, was all smiles too.
Just then, the cheeky Timothy stretched his hands out. âTessa, whereâs my gift?â
âYouâre asking for presents from me even though youâre already an adult?â Tessa teased him with a smile on her face.
âEven if Iâm an old man next time, Iâll still ask for presents from you since youâre the best sister in the whole wide world,â Timothy responded confidently.
Seeing that, Gregory went over and looked at Tessa, âMommy, do I get presents too?â
Tessa smiled when she saw how adorable he was. âYes, all of you will get presents, but before that, youâll have to complete the task that I assign to you.â
At noon, she had prepared a feast with the help of the chef, and the dining room was filled with the aroma of the dishes.
âLunch is ready,â she called out happily and invited everyone over for lunch when the last dish was served.
Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and headed to the dining room. The manor had a festive feel as the Christmas decorations had been put up.
âIt smells so good.â Nicholas smiled when he smelled the aroma after walking into the dining room.
âMommy, what have you cooked for us?â Gregory dashed over toward her and asked with anticipation.
âA lot of yummy dishes. Would you like to try them?â She bent over and lightly pinched the tip of his nose.
âYes, Iâd love to.â He nodded.
âLetâs start eating after you give Grandpa and Grandma a call to wish them Merry Christmas, alright?â She told him patiently. âYou have been spending Christmas with your grandparents every year, but now that we are overseas, they will miss you a lot. Youâve promised to be a good boy, am I right?â
âMommyâs right. I want to be a good boy. I will give them a call right away.â He immediately turned around and went to get the phone.
Soon, Stefania received a phone call from Gregory and was elated. âGregory, youâre finally giving Grandma a call after youâve been gone for so long.â
âGrandma, donât be angry. Iâll be giving you calls more often in the future.â
Gregory humored them before wishing them, âMerry Christmas, Grandma, Merry Christmas, Grandpa.â
âMerry Christmas to you, Gregory.â Both of them laughed as they watched him from the phone screen.
After chatting with Gregory for a while, they realized it was Tessa who had taught him to give them a call, and Tessa had earned some brownie points from them because of that.
