Always Been Yours

CHAPTER 1484 SAY MOMMY
"He's at home with the nanny," Nicholas answered with a smile.
Then, Tessa turned her head to speak to Gregory.
Along the journey, his sweet and cute voice reverberated in the car.
They soon arrived home, and Tessa went straight to the children's room with Gregory.
Gordon was already sound asleep, and Tessa felt her heart bursting with warmth.
Even though she had been video calling the children during these two weeks, it wasn't comparable to seeing them in person.
She wanted to hug Gordon but was afraid of jostling him awake. So, she could only suppress the desire in her heart as she
leaned down to plant a gentle kiss on his forehead.
Of course, she didn't forget about Gregory. The little guy even started jumping with joy when he received a kiss.
He wanted Tessa to sleep with him that night, but Nicholas' cold voice came from the door, "You're sleeping on your own. Your
mommy has to accompany me." Then, he forcefully pulled Tessa to him.
Gregory was angry but couldn't do anything but release a huff, "Bad Daddy!"
However, Nicholas didn't care one whit and led Tessa back to their room.
As soon as they entered, he turned around and pulled her into his arms, and a passionate kiss landed on her lips to show how
terribly he had missed her.
Tessa was taken aback by his actions but still wrapped her arms around his neck and responded with a kiss of her own. The
night was still long.

When Tessa woke up the next day, it was already late, and Nicholas wasn't in the room. Nonetheless, she didn't mind as she got
up to freshen up.
Then, she went downstairs to see Gregory playing with Gordon in the living room.
Gregory heard the rustling sounds of her dress and turned to the side to see Tessa. The smile on his face became wider.
"Mommy, you're awake?!"
He dashed into her arms, and she picked him up.
"What are you playing with Gordon?" she asked as she strode to the couch Gordon was on.
Gregory wrapped his arms around her neck and said in his sweet voice, "I am talking to Gordon."
Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he struggled to jump down from Tessa's embrace.
He ran to Gordon and helped him sit up before pointing at Tessa and instructing, "Gordon, this is Mommy. You have to say
'Mommy'."
"Mom... my." Gordon looked at Tessa adorably.
Tessa was dumbstruck and couldn't believe what she had heard.
A moment later, she went forward and carried Gordon in her arms excitedly. "Say Mommy again."
Alas, Gordon merely tilted his head and graced her with a pure and beautiful smile.
It was apparent he didn't understand Tessa.
She wasn't disappointed and patiently guided him, "Gordon, follow me. Mom... my."
This time, Gordon heard the words clearly and drawled out the words slowly, "Mom...my."

"Yes! Gordon, you're the best!" Tessa was elated and kissed him contentedly.
Gregory was also smiling cheerfully and didn't forget to remind her of the effort he put into this.
"Mommy, I taught Gordon to say that. Am I the best?"
Tessa's eyes were practically dripping with love as she looked at Gregory, begging for praise.
She placed Gordon down and carried him before kissing him. "Yes. You're the best. When did Gordon know to say that? My little
boy has been keeping secrets from me!"
"A few days ago. But Daddy said we have to give Mommy a surprise. So, we didn't tell you."
Gregory betrayed Nicholas without a second thought.
Regardless, Tessa didn't mind them hiding this from her and only felt touched by their actions.
Right at this moment, Nicholas had also made his presence known as he strode down the stairs.
He saw Tessa and Gregory laughing so merrily and asked curiously, "What are you guys talking about?"
"You're done with work?" Tessa turned around and placed Gregory down before approaching him.
Nicholas naturally held her in his arms and inquired his question once more.
"Gordon can speak now. Why didn't you tell me about this?"
Tessa glared at the man before her coquettishly.
