Always Been Yours

CHAPTER 1496 LET THE PREPARATION BEGIN
Even so, Sabrina still truthfully told Tessa about her family's decision, "My parents said it's best to have dinner on the weekend.
Besides, Timothy would also be able to attend dinner that day."
"I'm fine with it. So, the weekend it is, then." Tessa nodded in agreement.
Later, she saw Sabrina off and instructed Andrew to prepare a first-meeting gift for the dinner with Sabrina's family.
After all, although they had met each other over the past two years, the two families would be meeting for a serious affair that
day, Timothy and Sabrina's wedding. For that reason, Tessa attached great importance to it.
The weekend arrived in a blink of an eye.
Tessa rose together with the sun and began picking the outfit she would wear for today's meeting.
"Nicholas, do you think this dress will look better and more dignified?" She gestured with a piece of clothing on her body while
asking Nicholas' opinion.
Nicholas' gaze was outrageously gentle as he looked at Tessa, who was busy posing in front of the mirror.
"You look great in whatever you wear."
He had already gotten out of bed as he approached Tessa while making his opinion known. Then, he bent slightly and hugged
her from behind.
The corner of Tessa's mouth broke into a sweet smile. Still, she didn't forget about her priorities.
Therefore, she gently pushed Nicholas and glared at him coquettishly. "Stop it. Help me choose a dress to wear."
Nicholas had no choice but to release her and help her out.

Half an hour later, the two went downstairs hand in hand.
Timothy was playing with Gregory and Gordon in the living room downstairs.
He had arrived last night.
After breakfast, Tessa asked Andrew to take out the gift that she had prepared beforehand.
"I'd prepared these for you. Check if anything is missing. We still have half a day left, and we can make up for it if something's
missing," she said.
However, Timothy merely glanced at it. Then, he shook his head and said with a smile, "Since it was you who arranged these
gifts, I'm sure there will be no problem."
Tessa chuckled under Timothy's trusting gaze.
The meeting place was set to be in a hotel under the Sawyer Group.
That evening, the Gullivers, Tessa, and others sat together at the dining table in the luxurious private dining room.
After a brief introduction and pleasantries, the initially awkward and tense atmosphere gradually warmed. The two families slowly
got out of their shells after breaking the ice.
The men talked about finances and business affairs, while the women chatted about the recently trending beauty products and
clothing.
Coupled with Gregory and Gordon's childlike comments, cheerful laughter echoed in the room from time to time.
Everyone had a great time as they enjoyed the meal.
As a result, the relationship between the two families became closer after sharing a meal together.

After dinner, the topic of the conversation touched on Sabrina and Timothy's marriage.
"I want to hold a wedding after graduation," Timothy stated the wedding date he had long had in mind.
Alas, the elders of the Gullivers frowned slightly when they heard his opinion.
Melina felt rather reluctant to part with her daughter so soon. So, she said, "You're about to graduate in a month. Don't you think
it would be rather rushed?"
"Don't worry. I have almost everything prepared and ready to go. There's only the decorations for the wedding venue left."
As Timothy spoke, he paused for a moment. Then, he looked at Sabrina with adoration in his eyes. "I want Sabrina to be my wife
as soon as possible."
Sabrina met his gaze. She felt somewhat shy, but she didn't look away. Instead, her eyes were filled with genuine happiness.
When the elders of the Gullivers saw how affectionate the young couples were, they eventually gave the green light for the two
to hold their wedding a month later.
Tessa was so delighted that the smile on her face never dissipated, even after she returned home.
Nicholas' mood was also affected and became joyful as he looked at Tessa's sweet smile.
Thus, he embraced her tightly and teased, "Would you like some wine to celebrate?"
"Sure." Tessa nodded, turned around, and returned with a bottle of fine wine.
Tessa's cheeks flushed pink after gulping half a bottle of fine wine, making her look exceptionally alluring.
Nicholas' eyes were soon filled with desire.
What took place next came naturally, and the two made love for the entire night.

...
In the following days, Tessa was utterly preoccupied with matters concerning Timothy's wedding.
After all, it was her first time arranging for a wedding. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to do a good job and make a
mess of Timothy's wedding.
Furthermore, she only had about a month to ensure that everything was ready.
Therefore, she had to personally go through the list so as to make sure that the wedding would go off with a hitch.
