Always Been Yours

"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.

Warmth filled Tessa's heart as she stared at the man's back silhouette.

She followed closely behind. Yet, she quietly tiptoed to the baby's room and checked on Gordon instead of washing up in the master bedroom.

The little guy parted his lips as he slept soundly in the room.

Tessa's heart was overwhelmed with pure, unadulterated love as she stared fondly at the little guy in his crib.
