Chapter 784 Will It Leave a Scar?
Tess nodded in agreement. “You’re right. I shouldn’t let this affect my mood.”
Seeing that, Nicholas felt his expression unconsciously turning gentle. “That’s right! You should be
happy every day. Otherwise, your emotions will affect the baby in your womb. What if the baby is a little
crybaby after he’s born because he feels sad in the womb?”
She was amused and couldn’t help but refute, “Since I didn’t really cry, how would I give birth to a little
crybaby?”
“If you’re unhappy, the baby will feel sad, and babies cry when they are sad. Isn’t that so?”
What Nicholas said was reasonable, so Tessa had no grounds to refute it.
She laughed. “That’s a fallacy statement.”
Raising his brows, he looked toward Gregory and asked, “Gregory, do you think what Daddy said is
correct?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Daddy is right. Mommy, you should be happy so the baby won’t feel sad.”
Just then, Gregory came over to back his father’s claims. As Tessa listened to their amusing
conversation, she instantly felt more relaxed.
That moment, Gregory suddenly touched her tummy and coaxed, “Baby, do you see that Mommy is
smiling? So you should be happy too.”
It lifted her mood to see the adorable moment. “Gregory, You’re just too adorable!” She hugged him
and showered him with kisses which made him giggle.
The living room was instantly filled with laughter. Nicholas laughed as he looked at the pair’s
interaction. However, he hadn’t forgotten what Tessa had just told him. He had his guard up against
Rorion since he dared to bring his men over to the practice room and caused a scene there. His gaze
darkened as he shot a look over to Edward, who instantly understood what he wanted since he had
been serving Nicholas for many years. He nodded and left the manor.
Soon after, the butler walked over and reported, “Master Nicholas, Miss Tessa, dinner is ready.” The
family walked over to the dinner table and had dinner together.
After dinner, Tessa played with Gregory before leading him back to his room so that he could wash up
and go to bed. An hour passed after she managed to coax him to sleep. By that time, Tessa was also
sleepy and yawned as she strolled back to the main bedroom.
In the bedroom, Nicholas was seen sitting on the bed, preparing to change his bandage after he’d
showered. Tessa, who just got into the room, saw this and immediately walked over to help him.
“Didn’t I ask you to wait for me to apply the medicine for you?” She pretended to be angry as she
stared at him.
“I know that you’ve had a long day, so I don’t want to startle you since my wound is unsightly.” He let
out an awkward laugh. Because his wound was recovering, it looked a little hideous, and there was
even a large bruise on the side.
Tessa looked at the scabbed wound on his shoulder and muttered, “I’m not afraid.” After speaking, she

the overlapped scars, but on the contrary, her heart ached as she looked at them.
“We’re not sure whether it’s going to leave a scar.”
He chuckled as he listened to Tessa’s worries. “It’s okay to have a scar if it’s meaningful. After all, it
signifies my heroic act in protecting my woman, no?”
The way he looked at her was full of love. He really didn’t mind if it left a scar since he was used to
getting injured when he was in the forces. It’s not like I care about having scars. Even though he was
indifferent, Tessa couldn’t stand to see him get hurt.
“I don’t want such significance.”
Once she was done applying the ointment, she looked at him solemnly and said, “I don’t mind the
events that happened in the past, but I hope you can promise me that you won’t let yourself get hurt in
the future, as it worries me. Moreover, you were hurt on the same spot last time, so we’re not sure
whether there’ll be any side effects.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”
