Chapter 987 No Coincidences
Once Tessa returned home, the first thing she saw was Nicholas working in the living
room. Nicholas looked up from the computer screen when he heard the sound of
footsteps. “You’re home?” he said, beckoning for her to come over.
Beside him, Edward greeted her politely, “Hello, Madam.” She smiled as she nodded in
greeting and took a seat next to Nicholas. Then, she swept her gaze around as she asked
curiously when she didn’t catch a glimpse of Gregory, “Where’s Greg?”
“I came up with some homework for him, and he’s working on it upstairs now,” he
explained, pulling her into his arms. Then, she went straight to the heart of the topic and
inquired, “Greg said that you left for the band in a rush this morning. Did something
happen?”
“Yeah, something terrible happened.” Tessa nodded and told him about the fire, “Luckily,
the fire was under control. Otherwise, the damage would be far worse. It was only my
practice room that was heavily damaged. But, unfortunately, several studios around it
were also affected.”
When Nicholas heard that only the surrounding area from Tessa’s practice room caught
fire, his eyes narrowed, and there was only a calculative gleam in them. After all, there
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwere no such things as coincidences in this world, and because of this, he couldn’t help
but smell a conspiracy behind this.
Regardless, Tessa didn’t notice the change in his expression and continued, “Fortunately, I
have a backup copy of my music, or this fire would have burned my previous effort to
naught. But I feel so bad for the studio Miss Sofia prepared for me. I heard that all the
equipment inside was destroyed in the flames.”
Nicholas cast a look at Edward once he heard that, and Edward immediately understood
his boss’ intention. So, he didn’t waste a second as he left quietly to make the necessary
preparations, and Nicholas’ face only returned to normal after he was far away.
Tessa had absolutely no idea about their silent exchange, and she didn’t even notice that
Edward had already left. As she snuggled in Nicholas’ embrace, she chuckled and said,
“Miss Sofia barred me from helping out because I’m pregnant, so I can stay at home with
you for the next few days.”
Despite what she said, she still sounded relatively worried.
“Since you’ve already said it, you should rest well at home and not go to the band for
now,” he soothed. “As for your teacher’s side, I’ll send someone to take a look if she needs
any help and help her however I can.”
The moment she heard that she knew that he was only putting in so much effort because
of her. “You’re amazing, hubby.”
She hugged him affectionately, a sweet, blissful smile painted across her face.
The way she addressed him was very pleasing to his ears, and he coaxed softly as he held
her, “Call me that again.”
She paused for a split second, and although she was a little bashful, she still cooed
sweetly, “Hubby.”
Right after, Nicholas couldn’t hold back anymore and lowered his head, taking her plump
lips in his. She closed her eyes as she raised her head and returned the kiss.
The butler waiting next to them hurriedly gestured for the servants around to leave the
room. Then, just as the atmosphere in the room was getting just fine, a voice chimed
loudly and killed the vibe.
“Daddy, I’m finished with the homework!”
Gregory bounced downstairs in delight as he couldn’t wait to share his success with his
father. But, alas, his eyes laid on his parents kissing before he could start bragging. So, he
gasped and covered his eyes as though he had seen something he shouldn’t.
Tessa snapped back to her senses and hurriedly shoved Nicholas away with a flushed,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmembarrassed face. Meanwhile, Nicholas seemed displeased by Gregory’s interruption as
he threw a disgruntled look at Gregory.
This brat has foiled things for me more times than I can count! It looks like I didn’t prepare
enough homework for him and have to double it after this! Nicholas thought.
“You’re naughty, Daddy,” Gregory teased, oblivious that his good days were coming to an
end, and Tessa giggled.
Although she was home with Nicholas today, she would call to ask about the band’s
situation from time to time.
Fortunately, there were many people in the band, and they were able to clean up the spot
where the fire broke out in a day. All they needed to do now was wait for the renovations
to start.
When Sofia received Tessa’s call again, she didn’t hide things from her as she told Tessa
everything.
“Don’t worry. We’re almost done cleaning up and just waiting for the renovations to be
finished.”
“That’s great news,” Tessa said, assured.
“Practice with Gregory at home for the next few days,” Sofia advised. “Once the studio is
ready again, I’ll inform you, and you can come over for the recording.”
