Always Been Yours

Chapter 1498

CHAPTER 1498 MOMMY, DID YOU FEEL SICK TODAY?

Evidently, Gregory had taught Gordon everything he knew in advance.

Everybody burst out laughing.

On the other hand, Gregory glared at his younger brother angrily.

As the entire family wiped tears of laughter off their cheeks, Stefania suddenly turned toward Tessa and said, "Now that you are pregnant, you should be resting and taking good care of the baby. I'll help you with your brother's wedding."

"How can I impose upon you? I'll handle it myself. It's fine." Tessa did not wish to trouble her mother-in- law.

However, Stefania insisted, and Nicholas also agreed that it was a good idea. Unfortunately, since Nicholas had turned traitor, she knew she was about to lose her side of the argument.

In the end, just as Tessa expected, she lost the argument and reluctantly agreed.

Over the next few days, she rested at home while Stefania took over the wedding planning instead.

Two days later, Sabrina returned from a business trip and learned about Tessa's fainting incident. She quickly bought some supplements and rushed to the Dynasty Gardens to visit Tessa.

"Tess, I heard you fainted! Are you okay?" Sabrina asked Tessa in concern.

Tessa replied with a smile, "I'm fine. I simply fainted due to fatigue caused by my pregnancy."

"You're pregnant!" Sabrina was stunned for a moment, and then she became delighted by the news.

She spent some time chatting with Tessa before she proposed to leave. The main reason was that she did not wish to disturb Tessa's bedrest.

After she returned from her visit, she excitedly contacted Timothy and shared the good news with him, "Timothy, Tess is pregnant!"

"Tess is pregnant?" Timothy was pleasantly surprised.

She nodded and told him everything she knew. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

It never occurred to him that his sister would faint from fatigue because she was helping him with his wedding planning. Therefore, he couldn't help but feel incredibly guilty.

After he ended the call with Sabrina, he immediately dialed his sister.

"Why aren't you resting when it's already so late at night?" Tessa's gentle voice sounded through the phone.

Due to the time difference between the two countries, it was only the afternoon at Xerthania but midnight abroad.

Timothy did not answer her question directly but countered in a worried tone, "I heard you fainted. How can I rest after knowing that?"

When she heard his retort, she knew right then and there that Sabrina had informed her brother about the incident. Hence, she burst into laughter. "Fainting was just an accident. I'm sure Sabrina has also told you that you're going to be an uncle again."

His image in the video call nodded. "She told me all about it."

"In that case, you shouldn't worry about it. It only happened because I wasn't resting properly recently. It won't happen again in the future," she reassured her brother.

Unfortunately, he did not have the same sentiments. Thus, he expressed his thoughts on the matter, "Tess, about the wedding… I plan to hire a wedding planner to handle the wedding. In that way, you will only need to supervise the entire affair. That will give you enough time to have a good rest at home."

She knew that her brother was worried about her and felt a burst of warmth in her heart. "You don't need to worry about this either. Nicholas' mother has already taken over the entire affair. I won't be tired from planning your wedding anymore."

Timothy's eyes flashed with unknown emotions when he heard her words. Nonetheless, Tessa failed to notice the change in his expression, and the truth behind the wedding brushed her by once more.

The siblings chatted for a little longer before Tessa started nagging her brother to get some rest.

In the days that followed, things seemed to return to the ordinary and happy life from before. The only difference was that Tessa was pregnant yet again.

Just as her vacation was about to end, she abruptly recalled that she had not asked Sofia for a leave of absence due to her pregnancy.

With that thought in mind, she hurriedly whisked out her phone and contacted her teacher. Then, she told Sofia about the entire situation.

"Pregnancy is a good thing. Don't worry about the orchestra. I'll give you three months off so that you can have a good rest at home," Sofia earnestly advised Tessa over the phone.

Tessa was both grateful and touched by her teacher's words.

That night, Tessa waited for Nicholas to return home from work and told him about her leave of absence over dinner.

"Miss Sofia gave me a leave of absence for three months. She told me to return once my pregnancy has stabilized."

"That's good." Nicholas nodded with a smile.

At this time, Gregory glanced at Tessa in concern and asked her the same question he had been asking every day since she had gotten pregnant, "Mommy, did you feel sick today?"

"I didn't." Still, she couldn't resist asking out of curiosity, "Greg, why do you keep asking me whether I feel sick every single day?"
