Seeing that, Nicholas knew that his wife wouldn’t be able to sleep if she didn’t hear from Timothy that night. “If you’re worried about Tim, you should call him.” He handed the phone to Tessa while saying that.
So, she took the phone and made the call. However, no one answered the phone. “Did something happen? His line is busy.” She hung up the phone and looked at his husband worriedly.
“If something goes wrong, I’ll definitely receive the news. Why don’t you call his assistant and find out what’s happening?” He comforted her.
“You’re right. Let me make a call to Sabrina.” Then, Tessa dialed Sabrina’s number. “Sabrina, is Tim still at your house?”
‘Yes. He’s drunk and fell asleep in the guest room, Sabrina answered truthfully, not forgetting to apologize to her. After all, she forgot to call Tessa to inform her about. Timothy’s situation.
Once Tessa heard that her brother was alright, her curiosity about their meeting with Sabrina’s parents arose. “What do your parents think of Tim, Sabrina?”
“My parents and elder brother seem to like him.” Sabrina shared the situation with her from the evening truthfully.
Tessa was thrilled to hear that because she didn’t expect her brother to be approved by his future parents-in-law and brother-in-law in one go. Later, the two chatted for a while before ending the call.
When Nicholas saw the smile on Tessa’s face, he immediately guessed, “Sounds like it went well for Tim.” “Yup. His future parents-in-law have given him their blessing.” She delightedly shared the news with him.
When he heard that, he laughed, taking pleasure in her sense of relief and contentment. “Isn’t it supposed to be Tim meeting his girlfriend’s parents today? Why are you more nervous than him?”
“Well, I’m considered Tim’s parent. Of course, I’d be worried about him!” She returned him a smiley face, and as if thinking of something, she asked, “Do you think I should be prepared to meet his future in-laws too?”
Nicholas’ expression sank slightly when he met Tessa’s bright eyes. He gulped briefly before uttering softly, “Of course you will, but there is no rush. Besides, Tim and his girlfriend just got together and won’t be getting married any time from now. You don’t have to meet him so soon.”
“Sounds about right. Let’s give them some more time.” She thought he sounded reasonable, so she nodded in agreement.
Seeing that, he tightened his grip on her waist and pulled her closer. Leaning his head toward her, he reassured her, “Alright. Don’t overthink it. You should rest up now. You are the only one overthinking at such an hour.”
She couldn’t help but chuckle at his words. “Sure. Let’s go to sleep.” Then, she pulled the blankets and lay in bed.
The next moment, she saw a flash of darkness before her. Nicholas was now on top of her.. Meeting his dark orbs, she immediately read his mind. Tessa shot him a gummy smile and wrapped her arms around his neck like a silent invitation.
Unable to bear such temptation, he leaned in to kiss her. Under the lights, the two became entangled with each other. The atmosphere in the room gradually heated up.
Meanwhile, Gordon, who had been sound asleep, suddenly awoke at a crucial moment. His loud bawl jolted the already infatuated couple back to reality as if they had been dumped with a cold bucket of water.
“Gordon is crying. Go on and check if he’s hungry,” Tessa urged her husband in a velvety. soft voice. Nicholas was panting with a sullen face. His mood was completely ruined, but he was helpless. ‘Let’s send Gordon to my mom’s place tomorrow.” He looked at her with dark orbs, trying to suppress his desire.
Still, she found him amusing as she knew exactly what he was trying to endure. “Are you sure you’re his dad? How could you send him off when he’s just a baby? I’m not saying yes to that. Go on and feed him already.”
