My Son's Mom Will Be My Wife

My Son Mother Will Be My Wife Chapter 10–Who are you calling a bastard?

Gregory seemed to consider the proposal, then nodded.

“Dad, I’ve thought about it and you’re right. I can’t stick with the pretty woman and get in the way of her work if she has a busy day ahead of her.

Beside him, Tessa gave a puzzled smile. He talks so well for his age that it’s hard to remember he’s just a little boy, she thought.

Hearing his father agree to the lunch request, Gregory smiled, the sadness fading from his eyes as he brightened:

-Yeah! That means I get to have lunch with you.

Tessa’s lips curved into a soft smile as she reached down and wiped away the boy’s tears. As she did so, Gregory peppered her with a myriad of questions, one of which was:

“Miss, is this where you usually work?” Can you give me a tour of the place?

Without waiting for Tessa to reply, Trevor immediately intervened.

“Of course, young Mr. Gregory!”

Tessa agreed immediately:

“Well, of course, you can have a tour if you want. I will be your personal guide.

And so, he grabbed the little boy and rested him on his hip while he showed him the different departments of the orchestra company building.

That said, her impromptu tour guide role came under immense pressure, as Nicholas was right behind them the entire time. He knew he didn’t like Gregory getting too comfortable with her, so he just hugged the boy without fostering affection.

However, Gregory seemed to think otherwise, for he approached her like a fish to water. He wrapped one arm around her neck as if it were the most natural thing in the world while he looked around her curiously and asked about anything that interested him, and Tessa patiently answered.

It was almost noon when they finally finished making a full run, and she thought it was time to eat. Just as he was about to express it, the receptionist approached her and said quietly:
