Chapter 957 Surprise
Wanda’s lips curled into a barely-there smirk at those words. It seemed like her efforts had
paid off, and she had succeeded in staying by Nicholas’ side.
She thought that he would agree to her proposal considering the current circumstances.
However, little did she know that he was far from agreeable to her suggestion.
”Can’t you even handle a woman? What use do I have for you?” Nicholas shot daggers at
Edward as he walked toward Wanda.
Edward awkwardly scratched his head as he pulled a face but could not stop himself from
wondering what Nicholas would do. He glanced at the two curiously as he pondered, Does
he have a trick up his sleeve to stop that woman?

Even Tessa, who was on the side, looked at Nicholas in slight anticipation as she didn’t
know what he would do to fend the woman off.
On the other side, Wanda, who was pretending to be drunk, heard Nicholas’ words, and
dread rose in her heart.
Nevertheless, her nerves were quickly replaced by anticipation as she could feel the man
she loved coming closer.
Just as she was thinking about whether she should do something ‘untoward’ and blame it
on the alcohol later, she felt a sharp pain in her neck and collapsed.
Then, Nicholas retracted his hand in satisfaction and ordered coldly, ”Now you have no
excuse for being unable to get her out of my sight.”
Edward gawked at Nicholas’ swift strike, and his lips twitched in disbelief. Nevertheless, he
could not help but admit that Nicholas was indeed a decisive and reliable man.
Next to Edward, Tessa couldn’t help the burst of giggles from escaping her lips at Nicholas’
unexpected move.
She watched as Edward carried Wanda away and walked toward Nicholas with a somewhat
worried expression. ”Would this be a problem in the future?”
”Nope,” he answered as he gently led Tessa into his embrace. ”Stop worrying about
unimportant people. You’ve had a long day. You should rest.”
As for Gregory, he was exhausted and had fallen asleep a long time ago.
Tessa’s heart warmed at his display of affection and concern.
She knew he was worried about her health and shook her head, smiling. ”I’m not tired.
Besides, I’ve got a present for you.”
Nicholas quirked his brow at her words.
”What present?” He looked at her curiously.
Tessa smiled gently with a tinge of mischievousness. ”Follow me.” Then, she grabbed his
hand and led him up the stairs.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance to the bedroom, but she did not go in immediately as
she was excited about the reveal. She recalled how he had given her numerous surprises
in the past and gave him a cheeky look. ”Close your eyes.”
He could not resist her request when he gazed down at her bright eyes and obediently
shut his eyes as his lips continued to curve up into a small smile. ”Can I go in now?”
‘Yup,” she answered cheerfully and pulled him into the room.
After she entered the room, she did not rush to switch on the lights because a faint light
emitted from the bed.
She led Nicholas to the side of the bed before whispering, ”You can open your eyes now.”
The next second, he opened his eyes to see something that surprised and touched him.

lying in the middle of the box with some white feathers surrounding them. It was a
beautiful sight.
Nicholas instantly recognized that they were the latest limited edition watches for couples
from Rolex.
Then, Tessa picked up the men’s watch and helped Nicholas wear it. ”When I first saw this
watch, I immediately thought of you. Take a look. It suits you perfectly.”
She regarded his wrist with joy and admiration as a beautiful smile crept up her face.
He took a look at her before looking down at his new wristwatch. He could feel his heart
melting at the sight since he knew how hard she worked to be able to afford such a watch.
He had never been a materialistic man, but he was particularly fond of the watch only
because it was a gift from his beloved wife, Tessa.
Then, he took the initiative to pick up the women’s watch and wrapped it around her
delicate wrist.
He was pleased just looking at the couple’s watches on their wrists, which were identical
but different in size.
As they embraced each other, he suddenly realized that the surprise she had prepared
was similar to what he had done before and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
