Chapter 1081 Why Aren’t There Other Tourists?
The whole family woke up early that weekend. After a simple breakfast, they drove over to
the beach. Timothy went with them. They got to the pier and took a yacht out into the
ocean. While they were making their way to the island, Gregory pressed his face against
the window to stare at the blue skies outside. “This place is so beautiful, Mommy.”
“It is. It really puts you in a good mood, doesn’t it?” Tessa was pleased with the view
before her eyes, and she beamed as she responded to her son. Nicholas sat by the side
with a loving smile on his face as he gazed at the mother and child.
A while later, the yacht arrived at an island, and Tessa helped Gregory off the boat. They
were instantly mesmerized by the view of the island. There was a stretch of greenery that
welcomed them, and birds were chirping in the air as they walked around. As they walked
along the shoreline, they couldn’t see the end of it. The clean and clear ocean water
lapped against their feet as they took a stroll on what felt like heaven on earth. The place
was gorgeous.

much—she felt like she had walked into a painting. “Do you like it?” someone said gently
into her ear. Nicholas leaned in to wrap his arms around her waist as he lowered his head
to gaze at her. Tessa nodded. “I love it. How did you find this place?”
“I just happened to stumble upon this island. There used to be aboriginals who lived here
back then. There aren’t a lot of them, but this place is very popular among tourists,”
Nicholas explained as he walked along the shoreline with an arm around her. Gregory
realized that he was falling behind, and he was about to jog over to his parents when he
felt someone tugging on the back of his collar. “Let go of me, Uncle Tim! Mommy and
Daddy are getting farther and farther away!” Gregory was frustrated to have Timothy
holding him back.
However, Timothy didn’t let go of the boy—instead, he bent down and picked the kid up.
“You idiot. Couldn’t you tell that Daddy was trying to leave you behind because he wanted
some time with Mommy?”
“Daddy’s mean! He’s always stealing Mommy away from me,” Gregory protested. He was
a smart child, so he knew exactly what his father was doing. When Timothy saw the huge
pout on Gregory’s face, he let out a loving chuckle. Timothy walked a distance behind the
couple while Nicholas continued to tell Tessa about the island. “This place is very well
preserved, and the weather here feels like springtime throughout the year. I figured that
you’d like this place, so I bought a villa here. The beach is right behind our house.”
Nicholas led Tessa to a lavish-looking villa while they talked. When Tessa saw the huge
house in front of her, she was too stunned to believe her eyes. “This probably cost a lot of
money, didn’t it?”
“It’s fine. It’s all worth it as long as you like the place.” Nicholas slipped his hand into
Tessa’s as he led her into the house. The villa was huge. The interior design was a fusion
of Western and Eastern elements, and the detailed and meticulous touches on the place
made Tessa feel almost like she was in a fairytale. She was extremely fond of the place.
There was a floor-to-ceiling window in the hall that had a golden-and-blue view of the sand
and the sea outside.
As Tessa stood on the balcony and gazed out, she could even look into the ocean because

waves, and there were a few fishes swimming around at a leisurely pace. The surface of
the ocean glistened as it reflected the sun.
The entire view was too mesmerizing for Tessa to look away. This feels like the perfect
place for a getaway, she thought. “Daddy, I want to play in the ocean!” Gregory was still a
child, so he couldn’t control his urges to play in the water when he saw the view. Nicholas
thought that it was a good idea, so they all went out to the beach with Nicholas still
holding Tessa’s hand. The moment Gregory stepped onto the sand, he started running
around in circles while giggling with joy. Both Tessa and Nicholas beamed happily at the
sight of the young boy.
Right then, Gregory seemed to have found something fun to do. He jogged over to Tessa a
while later, looking as if he had just found a treasure chest. “Mommy, this seashell is so
pretty. I want to give it to you.”
Tessa looked at the tiny object in Gregory’s hands. “This isn’t a seashell. It’s a conch!” It
was a nicely-shaped conch, and it had a rather small tip. Right then, Tessa realized
something odd about the beach they were at. “We’ve been here for so long. Why aren’t
there any other tourists around here?” she asked.
