Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)
Chapter 1438

“I don’t want us to have our first time under such a circumstance. It’s not what I expected.” “What do you mean by it’s not what you expected?” Sabrina looked over in confusion.

Timothy sat beside her and took her in his arms. His voice was indescribably gentle as he explained, “No flowers. No rings. I don’t want to make you feel as though I’m not cherishing you.”

The disappointment in Sabrina’s heart instantly dissipated, and her heart was filled with. immense affection when she heard the man’s remarks.

She snuggled into his embrace and returned the hug with a fierce one of her own. Then, she rubbed her cheeks against his chest and murmured, ‘Actually, I don’t mind these, as long as that someone is you.”

“I mind, though. I want the best for you,” Timothy elaborated as he lowered his head and leaned closer to Sabrina. My woman, whom / wanted nothing but to cherish and love dearly.

Happiness and warmth rushed through Sabrina’s heart when she heard that. It was as though dozens of cotton candies had filled her heart. Meanwhile, in Dynasty Gardens, Nicholas was feeling a little wobbly at the moment..

So, Tessa helped him back to their room and took care of him. Nicholas’ twinkling eyes were filled with fondness as he watched his wife puttering about.

After a quick wash-up, the two lay down on the bed while hugging each other. Although they weren’t doing anything, the atmosphere in the room was surprisingly cozy.

“Another year is about to pass right before our eyes. Time flies so fast,” Tessa sighed. Nicholas lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead before he said with a faint smile, “None of that matters to me. I’m happy as long as you are by my side.”

“My, my. Such sweet words. Did you sip some honey today?” Tessa looked up at the handsome man in front of her as her lips were painted with a loving yet contented smile. Nicholas became even busier in the next few days.

It was the same for Tessa, for she had to accompany Stefania to shop for the goods. needed for Christmas. Not only did they have to get new decorations and whatnot, but they also had to purchase suitable Christmas gifts for the Sawyers family friends.

Since the family would be celebrating Christmas at the Sawyer Residence this year, Tessa brought Gregory and Gordon there every day these days.

This undoubtedly made Remus utterly delighted. Just like that, Christmas Eve arrived after several days of being a busy bee. Several relatives paid them a visit and wished them Merry Christmas early in the morning.

Tessa was wholly swamped with work as she helped Stefania entertain the guests. Fortunately, these guests didn’t stay for long. and left soon enough. The final batch of kins happened to leave by the time Nicholas brought Kieran and Timothy over.

As Nicholas laid his eyes on his wife, who was so tired that her forehead was beaded with sweat, he immediately stepped forward and tenderly wiped the sweat for her. “Thank you for your hard work.”

“I’m fine, though.’ Tessa smiled sweetly at him. The instant Kieran was faced with the two being lovey-dovey right after work, he commented mischievously, ‘Spare me please, Tessa. It’s Christmas. I am in no mood to watch you being all gooey with Nicholas.”

However, as soon as he said that, he received a slap from Stefania, who was standing next to him. “Hurry up and replace a girlfriend if you don’t like seeing others displaying their affection in front of you. Otherwise, in the upcoming Christmas, not only will I ask Tessa and Nicholas to continue tormenting you mentally with their affection, but I will also act lovey-dovey with your Dad in front of you for every Christmas Eve dinner party.”

“Mom, am I even your biological son? Why are you so cruel to me?” Kieran pressed his hands on his chest, exaggeratedly donning a hurtful expression. Stefania snorted softly, “I can be even crueler like a stepmother if you want.”

“Mom doesn’t love me anymore. Console me, Timothy Kieran rushed into Timothy’s arms. with a look of abject despair. His jokester side amused everyone else in the room. Remus also couldn’t help the chuckle that escaped his lips..

After they joked around, they eventually sat down in the living room. Nicholas, Kieran, and Timothy were having al game of chess with Remus and Tobias. Meanwhile, Tessa was virtuously refilling their tea from time to time.

Although she maintained her poise throughout the match, that still couldn’t stop her growing amusement as Kieran’s cries rang in her ears, “Hey, hey! How the hell can you capture my chess piece even after I move it to this spot? No, no, no. This doesn’t count. I will start again.”

“Kieran, do you not understand the meaning. behind the saying, ‘life is like chess, no regrets?” Timothy was rendered speechless by his audacity. I have never encountered a chess player as shameless as Kieran. He keeps retracting his moves, demanding a redo!

Still, Kieran didn’t stop his antics as he continued, “This game is solely for entertainment purposes and not a formal competition. So, who cares about that philosophy of yours?”

Tessa couldn’t hold it in any longer as she laughed out loud. Next to her, Stefania, who was looking after Gordon, also tittered. When Gordon saw Stefania’s smile, he waved his petite hands and babbled happily. Stefania was instantly taken prisoner by his cuteness when she noticed this.
