Celebrate in Advance
Gregory’s expression became serious as well after noticing the stern look on his father’s face. “I won’t
do it again.”
He nodded with the look of someone who was properly chided. Although Tessa couldn’t bear to see
him this way, she didn’t say anything.
Nicholas was strict with Gregory, but it was for his sake. Gregory was destined for a future that was
unlike other children.
Ever since he was a child, he was raised to be the future successor of the Sawyers’ family business.
Thus, he couldn’t behave in an unprincipled manner. Just as Tessa’s mind filled up with thoughts,
Nicholas’ voice rang out again.
“In addition to that, although I arranged for you to learn self-defense, you must remember not to use
what you’ve learned to harm others on purpose. Understood?” “Yes, I understand.”
Gregory nodded again. Nicholas’ expression relaxed as he praised, “You did well today, but if I were
you, I wouldn’t have given them the chance to call the teacher over.”
Tessa hadn’t fully registered what Nicholas meant yet. It was Gregory whose eyes sparkled as he
looked at Nicholas. “What would you have done, Daddy?”
“First of all, I wouldn’t have struck them in public. You lose the ability to steer things in a favorable
direction that way. Secondly, I would have told them that only cowards and weaklings tattled to the
teacher.”
Nicholas taught Gregory the art of being cunning. Tessa finally figured out what Nicholas meant. She
didn’t know how to react, so she smacked him lightly. “Don’t teach Gregory the wrong things.”
She turned to Gregory and asked caringly, “How did the competition go?”
Needless to say, Gregory wasn’t concerned about the competition at all. However, noticing his mother’s
concern, he patiently advised her, “Relax, Mommy. Don’t fret so much. Just wait. You’ll be hearing good
news soon enough.”
Tessa chuckled, but she did agree that she was fretting quite a bit.
Since Gregory was confident, she didn’t say much else about it. “In that case, let’s not talk about the
competition anymore. Tell me what you feel like eating for lunch. You’ve been practicing hard lately, so
I’ll reward you with a good meal today.”
“Yay! You’re the best, Mommy.” Gregory happily kissed Tessa on the cheek. Tessa loved being the
recipient of his affection. She smiled and asked, “What do you want to eat? I’ll take you there right
away.”
“I want French cuisine!” Gregory looked up at Tessa with a grin. Tessa waved her hand decisively and
declared, “Alright. Let’s eat at a French restaurant today. Your daddy can foot the bill.”
Nicholas cocked his eyebrow and eyed her with affection. “Since it’s your treat, shouldn’t you be
paying?”
“But I didn’t bring any money with me,” Tessa replied innocently. The smile in Nicholas’ eyes became
even more noticeable. He found Tessa incredibly adorable right now.
Just then, Gregory piped up in support of Tessa. “Daddy, don’t you always say that you belong to
Mommy? That means your money is also Mommy’s money, which means it’s true that Mommy is
treating us to the meal.”
Nicholas couldn’t offer a rebuttal, so in the end, he lost to the two of them. Tessa and Gregory high-
fived and grinned. Nicholas watched them with a gentle look in his eyes.
Thus, amid the laughter, the family of three headed to a French fine-dining restaurant. During the meal,
Tessa picked up her drink and declared happily, “Let’s celebrate in advance and congratulate Gregory
for placing first in the competition.”
She gave Nicholas a look.
Nicholas went along with it. He raised his wine glass and said with a smile, “Congratulations in
advance.”
Gregory was elated. He picked up his glass of milk and tapped it against Tessa’s drink.
After drinking his milk, he recalled that Nicholas had promised to give him a present, so he asked
worriedly, “Daddy, you said I can have anything I want as a present if I win first prize, right?”
“That’s right. You can have anything you want.”
Nicholas nodded and repeated his promise.
Gregory was so thrilled he began to squirm in his seat.
Tessa knew that something was up, so she asked with a smile, “Gregory, have you already decided
what you want to ask from Daddy?”
