Chapter 977 Nicholas Gets Emotional

Gregory nattered on happily to the healthy baby growing within Tessa’s belly.

Meanwhile, Tessa didn’t interrupt Gregory’s evident enthusiasm as she gazed at him

fondly, wholly enraptured by his curiosity toward the new life she was nurturing.

Suddenly, the phone she had placed aside rang loudly, somewhat shattering the peaceful

atmosphere between mother and son. However, when she checked the notification, her

eyes lit up with delight when she saw that it was a video call request from Nicholas.

”What are you two doing?”

Nicholas’ gentle voice came from the phone.

When Tessa was about to tell Nicholas the good news, she was preempted by the excited

Gregory.

”Daddy! My baby sister moved just now. She even knew that I was her brother and said

hello to me!”

Nicholas was momentarily stunned when he heard Gregory’s words. But, then, his

astonishment was instantly followed by slight envy and disappointment when he realized

that he couldn’t be there with his family and experience that joy with them.

As for Gregory, he didn’t notice the strange look on Nicholas’ face at all and was still

happily bragging about it, ”Daddy, my baby sister must like me!”

Nicholas’ mood took a turn for the worse when he heard that.

So, he decided to ignore Gregory as he looked toward his wife and pretty much demanded

impatiently, ”Let me see your belly.”

Judging by the tone of his voice, it was only natural for her to sense his jealousy toward his

own son, no less. Therefore, she shifted the camera to her belly as she giggled in

amusement.

Any tinge of displeasure or envy instantly vanished from Nicholas’ eyes as a soft, adoring

look replaced them while he looked at Tessa’s bulging belly.

”Baby, it’s me, Daddy,” said Nicholas in a highly gentle voice.

Perhaps, as they say, ‘blood is thicker than water’, Tessa felt the baby in her belly move

slightly after his words.

At this moment, a great sense of tenderness and contentment flowed in her heart.

Alas, before she could fully immerse herself in the joy of having a wonderful family,

Nicholas’ slightly anxious voice rang in her ears. ”Honey, do you feel any movement from

the baby?”

”Yes. She heard you when you called her just now.”

Tessa stroked her belly while beaming, all the while exuding a maternal aura due to her

pregnancy.

He could barely hold onto his composure due to his apparent joy. Yet he still thought that

she might just be coaxing him as he inquired, ”Did the baby really move? Why didn’t I see

it?”

Earlier, to avoid missing the chance to witness such a momentous occasion, he had been

staring at the video screen unblinkingly. Not only that, he even slowed down the pace of

his breathing.

Even so, he didn’t see any apparent changes.

As she regarded the man, who was a little blunder, she snorted and said, ”Since the baby

is still small now, the fetal movement won’t be so obvious. That’s why it’s hard to tell just

by looking at it with naked eyes. You can ask Greg if you don’t believe it. He should’ve felt

it too just now.”

”Daddy, baby sister really moved just now.” Gregory hurriedly spoke up and testified to

Tessa’s statement with a firm nod.

When Nicholas heard that, he was thrilled. ”It seems that the baby also knows that I’m her

Daddy. That was why she greeted me.”

Sure enough, as someone who knew Nicholas well, how could Tessa have no idea that he

was bragging after she heard the arrogant tone in his voice?

Therefore, she chuckled with amusement as she turned the camera back to show her face.

”Yeah. You’ve been gone for so many days, so she must be missing you.”

”I miss her as well as the both of you too.”

Nicholas expressed his longing, revealing his rare emotional side.

The smile on Tessa’s face became more tender after she heard his words. ”I miss you too.”

”Daddy, although you always snatch Mommy away from me, I still miss you. Daddy, when

will you return home?” Gregory moved closer to the phone and squeezed near Tessa while

doing so.

His direct yet earnest remarks were so honest that it made the couple huff in amusement

at one point.

Just like that, although they weren’t together in person, the three still managed to have a

great time together.

Later in the evening, Nicholas urged Tessa and Gregory to rest when he saw that it was far

past their bedtime, ”Rest early. If I’m not mistaken, both of you have musical training

bright and early tomorrow.”

With that said, Tessa and Gregory reluctantly bid goodbye to Nicholas. When that was

done, the mother and son retired for the night.

…

Meanwhile, in Xerthania, Nicholas sat in Sawyer Group’s president’s office.

Although Nicholas had hung up the phone, deep down, he couldn’t wait to return to his

family.

Thus, with that in mind, he called Edward into his office and asked, ”What else do I need

to attend to personally?”

Despite not knowing why Nicholas asked him such a question, he still picked up the file

and reported accordingly.

After he listened intently to Edward’s account of which affairs needed a few personal

touches here and there, he coldly instructed, ”Inform the employees that we’ll be working

overtime for a few days. I want all these affairs completed within a week.”

Edward nodded affirmatively and hastily darted out to make the appropriate arrangements

once he received such an order.

At this moment, Edward already had a vague guess in his heart. Considering President

Sawyer is behaving so impatiently, he’s most definitely in a rush to return to his lovely

wife.

The reality was not far from Edward’s guess. Nicholas had indeed begun to work like the

hellhounds were chasing after him because he desperately wanted to be rid of any

obstacle that would prevent him from reuniting with his family as soon as possible.

As a result, his high efficiency with close to no regard for his personal health also caused

his employees to get into gear as they rushed their respective deadlines.
