Chapter 242
However, seeing that the two of them were discussing enthusiastically and eating normally, she suppressed her nagging and continued taking care of Gregory.
“Miss Tessa, you should eat too. I haven’t seen you for several days, yet you’ve already lost weight.”
Gregory peered at Tessa’s thin face, looking a little distressed.
Tessa nodded.
After the meal, Timothy brought Nicholas back to the living room to continue discussing their plan.
Seeing them like this, Tessa was a little helpless.
In their eyes, nothing could compare to work.
But, in the end, she couldn’t say anything. As long as they could take care of themselves and work hard, it wouldn’t be good for her to interrupt.
She turned around and went back to the kitchen to wash and cut some fruits for them.

Setting the fruit tray onto the coffee table, Tessa went straight back to her room without saying much. They were talking about work, and she didn’t understand what they were talking about, so it didn’t make sense to stay.
Not long after she entered the room, there was a knock on the room door.
As soon as Tessa opened the door, she saw Gregory standing awkwardly at the door. When the door opened, the little boy raised his head and looked at her expectantly.
When she saw how cautious Gregory was being, Tessa let out an inward sigh, then her voice softened a notch as she asked, “What’s the matter?”
Gregory said, “Can I stay here with you, Miss Tessa? I don’t understand what Daddy and Mr. Timothy are talking about. It’s very boring.”
Tessa understood how he was feeling, so she nodded and brought Gregory into her
room.
The moment he entered Tessa’s room, Gregory grinned.
He hadn’t been to Tessa’s room for many days, but it was fragrant as always, and her scent was everywhere.
Tessa was a little troubled with Gregory’s sudden appearance.
What could they do in the room? They couldn’t just stare at each other and laugh.
She asked, “What do you want to do?”
“Play the violin, Miss Tessa. I want to play the violin. You haven’t taught me for a long time, so I’ve regressed.” Gregory’s eyes lit up in an instant as he gave Tessa a hopeful look.
She thought about it and figured that playing the violin required perseverance, so she went to get two violins to give Gregory a bit of guidance.
Picking up the violin, Tessa demonstrated it to him.
The piece she chose to play today exhibited the softer and melodious side of the violin, and the music spread around every corner of the apartment.
The three people in the living room were chatting when they suddenly heard the sound of a violin. They all had a tacit understanding and fell silent all of a sudden.
At the end of the song, Henry smiled and said, “Tessa plays the violin really well. I will never get tired of listening to her play.”
Timothy smiled and said nothing, but his eyes were full of pride.
Nicholas didn’t speak either, but when he glanced in the direction of Tessa’s room, his eyes were gentle. He hadn’t heard her play the violin for a long time, and now that he was hearing it again, he found that he quite missed it.
However, the three of them quickly withdrew their emotions. The sound of the violin was pleasant, but they still had to discuss the project.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already past 10.00PM.
Tired from playing the violin, Gregory couldn’t help but yawn, his eyes glistening. “Miss Tessa, I’m a little sleepy. I want to sleep.”
Tessa went out of the room and took a look at the three people in the living room.
They didn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon, so Tessa sighed helplessly and returned to the room.
It seemed like they weren’t going to stop for a while more, and Gregory was already sleepy, so she couldn’t just interrupt them and ask Nicholas to bring him back.
“Let’s get you washed up. You can sleep here first,” Tessa said softly..
Gregory nodded obediently. “Okay.”
Tessa helped him take a bath, then helped him change into her clothes before she brought him back to her room.
Gregory was so sleepy that he couldn’t even open his eyes, but he still tugged on Tessa’s sleeve. “Miss Tessa, when I wake up, I’ll still be here, right?”
When Tessa heard this, her hand, which was patting his back, stopped abruptly, and her emotions grew complicated. If she was being honest, she didn’t know if she wanted him to stay.
