Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 1085 Pay Me Tomorrow

Both Nicholas and Tessa were looking deep into the other person’s eyes when the picture was taken, and one could feel the connection between their gazes even through looking at the photo. Their sharp and flawless features made the photo look even more eye-catching.

“Look. Did I do a good job? You look really good, Mr. Sawyer. Of course, you look extremely stunning too, Mrs. Sawyer.” Alina handed the camera to Nicholas and Tessa while praising them.

Tessa took a look at the picture and agreed that it was a good shot. She nodded in satisfaction, and they took a few more photos in the café before switching spots to find another background. Their first spot was at a flower garden that Alina suggested—Alina thought that it’d be a waste of the couple’s gorgeous looks if they didn’t take pictures at a spot as magical-looking as the flower garden on the island.

“Lower your head and look at her, Mr. Sawyer. That’s right!” Alina gave out orders to Nicholas as she took pictures of them. Nicholas didn’t seem to mind it, and Alina took a few more stunning shots of him holding Tessa in his arms.

After they were done at the flower garden, they moved to the seaside. With their backs facing the ocean, Nicholas wrapped his arms around Tessa for a few pictures, and he pressed his forehead against hers for a few others. They were looking into one another’s eyes, and their gazes were filled with love.

By the end of the photoshoot, Alina didn’t need to give instructions at all—Nicholas already knew what sort of poses to do.

Lastly, they went to a child’s playground that made them feel like they were in a fairytale. Before Tessa knew what was going on, she watched the man getting onto one knee before kissing her belly with a gentle gaze in his eyes.

“Nicholas…” Tessa was shocked, and she lowered her head to look at him. When he looked up to meet her eyes, she felt like she could drown in that loving gaze of his. “This is our precious little gem. I can’t wait for our baby to see the world, and I hope everything goes smoothly until then,” he uttered.

Tessa pressed her lips together as she felt tears forming in her eyes. Meanwhile, Alina, who was watching this from afar, didn’t stop pressing the shutter at all. What sort of magical love do they have for each other? I’m so envious! she thought. The three of them traveled to a few more spots throughout the afternoon, and they ended up with more than 100 pictures.

Toward the end, Tessa was starting to feel tired, but Alina was still excited about the photoshoot. It had been a while since she had such an enjoyable shoot.

“There’s a water park on the island, Mrs. Sawyer. Why don’t we take some pictures in the water there?” Alina tried to convince Tessa to take more pictures.

As they went around, Alina gradually noticed that Nicholas was fully compliant with his wife’s orders, even though he seemed like the stern and icy one. Mr. Sawyer will agree to anything as long as his wife says so, she thought.

Unfortunately, Nicholas saw right through Alina. “That’s enough. My wife is getting tired,” Nicholas uttered.

Alina felt rather bad when she heard this, and she quickly turned to gaze at Tessa. Tessa was indeed starting to feel tired—after all, it was hard for her to walk too much with such a huge belly.

Tessa smiled when she met Alina’s gaze. “Let’s end things here for today. We’ve taken quite a number of pictures, so I think it should be enough,” Tessa said.

“We did take a lot of them. I scrolled through the pictures, and I think there are more than a hundred of them,” Alina replied with a smile. Even though she felt like it was a shame for their photoshoot to end there, she was still happy with the photos she had taken. Furthermore, she couldn’t tire a pregnant lady out for the sake of her own enjoyment. At that thought, she quickly assured the couple about their photos. “I’m pretty sure you guys will be pleased with how the printed pictures look,” she said.

“Alright. We look forward to the end product,” Tessa replied with a smile.

“How much are these?” Nicholas asked upon hearing Alina’s words.

“There’s no rush. I’ll tell you the amount when you come over to collect these pictures tomorrow,” Alina replied.

Nicholas was surprised to hear that Alina didn’t want her payment right there and then.

Tessa was just as puzzled. “Aren’t you afraid that we won’t show up?” Tessa asked.

“I trust that you guys aren’t that sort of people,” Alina replied Tessa with a firm smile. “Alright. It’s getting late. I shouldn’t take up any more of your time—I’ll head home to work on the pictures now. Bye!” Alina waved them goodbye before rushing off excitedly.

Tessa felt oddly amused at the sight of the girl who was rushing away.

Nicholas, on the other hand, curled his lips into a smile when he saw the tired but happy look on Tessa’s face.
