Always Been Yours

Chapter 1087

A moment later, Tessa glanced at Nicholas with sparkling eyes and said, “It’s delicious!”

At the sight of this, Nicholas went on to peel a few more shrimps for her.

Next to them, Timothy couldn’t help his exasperation. He didn’t mind having a meal with his sister and her husband, but he felt like he was getting heartburn from their lovey–dovey exchange. “Uh, Tessa, Nicholas, some of us are trying to eat here. Can you refrain from rubbing your relationship in my face while I’m still single?” He put his hand to his chest in an exaggerated manner as though Tessa and Nicholas had plunged a sword through his heart, then shot them a wounded look.

Tessa was about to retort when Nicholas beat her to it. “We’re hoping this might give you that extra push you need in order to find a girlfriend.” Then, Nicholas returned to peeling shrimps for Tessa and addressed her indulgently, “Is there anything else you’d like to eat? I’ll get it for you.”

She shook her head and didn’t want him to starve. “You don’t have to, and you barely ate a bite!”

As she said this, the waiter served the last dish, but he did not leave immediately after setting the plate down. Then, the waiter said politely, “Dear guests, there will be a live performance in our establishment shortly after this for you to enjoy while you dine.”

Gregory blinked his doe–eyes at the waiter and asked curiously, “Excuse me, sir, but what sort of performance is
