Chapter 976 Fetal Movement

Richelle sneered, obviously not believing a single word that dripped from Susan’s

poisonous lips. On the other hand, Susan dropped the entire topic even though her eyes

showed slight traces of frustration. Since this woman misunderstood me for being jealous

of Tessa, so be it. As for me, I’m likely to expose myself if I continue this topic.

“Fine, then. I won’t say anything anymore since you aren’t bothered by this. I hope you

can make it to the top and shine bright in the orchestra soon.”

 

When Richelle heard that Susan sounded somewhat sincere, she thought Susan had given

up on provoking her into acting rashly toward Tessa. Then, she kindly advised Susan,

saying, “You should cheer up too. Stop being hostile toward Tessa.”

Although Susan maintained a polite smile on the surface, indicating she understood where

Richelle was coming from, deep down, she actually felt utter disdain for the other woman.

What a foolish woman. Unlike you, who gets afraid after failing just once, I always strive

for what I want. Also, only an idiotic woman like you will be willing to forfeit the chance to

become more than ordinary. On the contrary, I will do everything in my power to become

extraordinary.

On this day, Remus had called for the Sawyer Family to gather for a meal when he

remembered that they hadn’t had a meal together even though Nicholas had returned for

so long.

During the meal, Stefania nagged Nicholas, “Why didn’t you bring Greg back with you

when you returned to Xerthania?”

“Greg has classes, so Tessa said she’ll bring him back to see you all when it’s the holiday

season.”

Nicholas relayed Tessa’s regards.

Although the elders of the Sawyers spoke nothing of it outwardly, inwardly, they were all

pleased with Tessa’s consideration.

Suddenly, Remus said, “She’s been pregnant for five months or so now, right? What’s the

matter? Is she not planning to return to Xerthania during her pregnancy?”

Stefania was also hit with a sudden realization when she heard this, and she inquired with

a frown, “Does she have plans to give birth in Xerthania?”

“It’s still far too early to discuss this matter. The baby is only five months old. So there’s

no rush.”

Although Nicholas was aware of their thoughts, he also knew now was a crucial moment

for Tessa. He didn’t want to hold her up for the baby’s sake.

Unfortunately, Stefania didn’t know what the hold-up was.

Hence, she felt very dissatisfied after she heard Nicholas’ words. “How is it not a rush?

Could it be that you plan to only let her return to Xerthania when she’s seven or eight

months pregnant?”

“It’s not a big deal whether she’s seven or eight months pregnant. I’ll make proper

arrangements for everything. I won’t let any mishaps happen to her and the baby,”

Nicholas said with great confidence. After all, he was genuinely convinced that he would

be able to handle anything, come hell or high water.

When they saw that Nicholas had made such bold proclamations, Stefania and Remus

couldn’t voice their dissatisfaction, no matter how badly they wished.

Meanwhile, Tessa had no clue about what was happening in the Sawyer Residence.

She was so swamped with the release of her new album, training, and taking care of

Gregory that she was as busy as a bee.

Now that she had almost completed her compositions, another daily task added to her

usual musical training: practicing those new songs.

In addition, perhaps due to the baby growing in her belly, she became easily fatigued

despite only working for a full day.

After dinner, Gregory was distraught when he saw Tessa sitting on the couch tiredly.

“Mommy, let me give you a massage. You won’t feel tired after the massage.”

As he spoke, he knelt on the couch and helped Tessa to massage her arm.

When she regarded the severe look on the little guy’s face, she felt highly gratified and

touched to have such an attentive son.

“You are such a kind child, sweetheart. You even know how to care for me now.”

She didn’t stop him. Instead, she praised the little guy greatly for his loving gesture.

Gregory’s face blushed when he heard Tessa’s compliment, looking adorable.

Then, he looked happily at Tessa and asked, “Mommy, do you feel better?”

“I’m feeling much better. Thank you, Greg,” Tessa replied. Then, suddenly, her facial

expression stiffened—an inconceivable look flashed in her eyes as if she was amazed by

something.

Gregory was far from blind, so he immediately asked in confusion, “What’s wrong,

Mommy?”

“Greg, the baby moved just now.”

When Tessa came back to her senses, she excitedly shared the happy news with the little

guy.

However, Gregory didn’t understand what Tessa’s words meant. So, the befuddlement in

his eyes only grew stronger as he pressed for answers, “The baby moved? What does that

mean, Mommy?”

The moment she laid her eyes on his clearly bewildered ones, she realized she didn’t know

how to explain this phenomenon to him.

Coincidentally, at this moment, she once again felt the baby move. Thus, she instantly

grabbed Gregory’s hand and placed it on her belly.

Gregory’s eyes widened in surprise as he felt the movement against his palm.

“Mommy, y-your belly is kicking my hand,” he stammered with excitement.

At once, Tessa burst into laughter as she looked at Gregory’s dumbfounded state. “It’s not

my belly that’s kicking your hand. That’s your baby sister saying hello to you.”

“Baby sister?”

Gregory was stunned for a moment. Then, finally, as if he had an epiphany, he chirped

happily, “Baby sister, are you saying hello to me because you know that I’m your

brother?”
