CHAPTER 1502 THERE’S SOMETHING I NEED TO TELL YOU

Although none of them were interacting with each other directly, the homey scene was so harmonious as though it was a scene out of a picture book.

An hour later, Gregory finally finished his homework and pestered Tessa to provide fetal education to the baby in her stomach.

Tessa observed her high-spirited son, rendered somewhat speechless at his intensity.

The baby was only a month old at this point, so it was not time to provide the baby with fetal education yet.

Unfortunately, Gregory didn't know any of that. He only knew that the baby was his future sibling. So, he looked at her expectantly. "Mommy, what should I do for my little sister? Should I read her a book? Or play the violin for her?"

Before Tessa had time to respond, Gordon interjected, scrunching his adorable nose, "Read a book. The violin makes me sleepy." Combined with his delicate facial features, he looked absolutely adorable.

Tessa was mesmerized by his cute appearance. But, at the same time, she was amused by his reaction.

For some reason, he had absolutely no talent in music. In fact, just listening to music made him sleepy.

Immersed in her thoughts, she ruffled his hair affectionately and gently agreed, "Alright. Let's read to the baby." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Gordon was delighted. He quickly went and chose one of his favorite story books, and then he stuffed the book into Gregory's hands.

"Read it, Greg."

Gregory did not refuse. Then, he flipped the book open and started reading the story.

Over the past two years, he had grown and developed significantly. His voice had also changed from a toddler's baby voice to become crisp and powerful.

After they finished reading the short story, Tessa glanced at the time and discovered that it had gotten relatively late.

She firmly declared, "Alright, let's stop here for today. We can continue tomorrow."

Although Gregory looked like he wanted to continue, he obediently nodded and smiled sweetly at her stomach. "Little sister, you have to remember my voice. I am your elder brother, Greg. I will read you another story tomorrow."

"Don't forget about me! I'm your elder brother, Gordon!" Not to be outdone, Gordon excitedly introduced himself to her stomach.

When she observed their friendly relationship with each other, she suddenly blanked out for a moment. That was because she abruptly remembered her previous child.

If that child were alive, the baby in her womb would have three older brothers by now.

While Tessa was distracted by her thoughts, she suddenly felt somebody tugging at her. Gregory's worried voice entered her ears. "Mommy, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Let's head to the bathroom to wash up." She snapped back to the present, then she stood up and brought the two children to the bathroom.

One hour later, she finally coaxed the boys to sleep and lightly tiptoed out of the room.

She did not return to her room immediately but hesitantly stood in the corridor instead.

She had kept the child a secret from Nicholas for all these years. As a result, she had been feeling immensely guilty whenever she thought about the child over the recent years.

A few minutes later, she came to a decision and walked toward the study with a determined expression.

Since he was home, he was dressed in casual wear as he sat at his desk in the study. Every movement he made seemed languid and graceful. In addition, his dignified poise gave him an indescribable sense of nobility.

When Tessa entered the study, she was momentarily fascinated by the elegant scenery that entered her eyes.

On the other hand, Nicholas looked up when he heard the door open. His cold and hard expression instantly melted to become as gentle as water.

"Why did you come here? Are Gregory and Gordon asleep?" he asked, beckoning for her to come closer.

She snapped back to her senses and instinctively walked over to him.

He stretched his arms and pulled her into his embrace. Then, he abruptly realized that she was not in a good mood. "What's wrong?"

"I..." She met with his dark eyes, parted her lips, and suddenly found herself at a loss for words.

He could sense her hesitation. Thus, he raised his eyebrows slightly and persistently questioned her, "What's wrong?"

"There's... something I need to tell you." Her courage wavered for a moment, but she closed her eyes and blurted out the truth about her child, "The truth is that I had a child in the past."

After she said that, she tensed nervously, closed her eyes, and waited to hear his questioning voice.

To her surprise, the rage she expected did not come even though she had waited for a long time. Instead, when she finally opened her eyes, she saw him gazing at her warmly.

Tessa was taken aback for a moment and wondered, "Are you not angry?"

"Why would I be angry?" Nicholas countered her question with one of his own.
