"Of course. Just go home and leave the rest to me." Kieran waved Nicholas goodbye.

Tessa leaned against Nicholas during their ride back home. At this moment, she felt exceptionally at peace and drowsy as she sniffed the minty fragrance on his body.

Meanwhile, Gregory, who was in her arms, had long fallen asleep.

Tessa abruptly blinked awake when she sensed that the car had come to a stop.

She instinctively swiveled her head and groggily looked out of the window. Then, she muttered softly, "Oh, we're home."

With that, she intended to pick Gregory up and get out of the car. However, Nicholas beat her to it.

"I'll take him back to his room and put him to bed. Go ahead and wash up first if you're feeling tired. You should rest. Don't wait up."

Immediately afterward, Nicholas left the car with Gregory in his arms.
