Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 362

Chapter 362 Cheer Up

“You should get washed up then. It’s getting late. You should get some sleep.”

“Sure.” Nicholas then pulled her into his embrace and made her sit on his lap.

Tessa felt a little embarrassed sitting so close to him, but then she remembered that they had done even more intimate stuff before, so she hugged his neck. “Are you leaving tomorrow?”

Nicholas nodded. “Why? Don’t want to say goodbye?” He smiled.

“Yes.” Tessa nodded honestly. She thought time was flying by too fast. “I wonder when we’ll meet again.” She sighed sadly.

Nicholas’ eyes shone. He suggested, “If you’re feeling sad, then reward me well tonight.” He picked her up and took her to the room next door.

Tessa snapped out of it when he placed her onto the bed. As he took his clothes off, it reminded her of how insatiable he was the night before, and it scared her. “Um, let’s not do it tonight. I promised Gregory I’d stay with him for the night.”

She got up and tried to run, but she didn’t get far before Nicholas pulled her back. “Gregory’s a big boy now. He should learn to sleep by himself,” he whispered, his voice raspy and sexy.

The boy noticed someone coming. He thought it was Tessa, and he smiled. He was about to complain to her, but then he saw a pair of black leather shoes beside him. When he looked up, he saw his father’s face, and he snorted. Then he turned away and ignored his father.

Nicholas didn’t mind. He calmly huddled closer to his son.

For some reason, the boy looked hesitant after a while, then he seemed less angry, but he still snorted at his father anyway. Then he got off the couch and trotted to Tessa. “Miss Tessa, I want a hug.” Contrary to how he treated his father, he beamed at Tessa.

Tessa picked the boy up, and she looked at Nicholas, feeling surprised. What did he say to cheer him up so fast? She wanted to know, but she didn’t get the chance to ask.
