Chapter 1077 Is He Angry?

Tessa still felt rather drowsy, so Nicholas propped her up and let her lean against his chest. He held the bowl of porridge in one hand and a spoon in the other as he coaxed her into having some food. "I know you're not feeling well, but you need to eat something before you go back to sleep." Nicholas wasn't sure if Tessa heard what he said, but she only ate half a bowl of porridge with her eyes closed before she refused to have any more. Nicholas didn't force her to eat after that. Instead, he helped her settle back into bed, and she fell asleep just moments later. Timothy left the house early that morning to do some market surveys, and he only got home late in the afternoon. He had intended to have a meal with Tessa and Gregory, but he was greeted with an empty hall when he got home. "Where's Tessa and Gregory?" Timothy asked the housekeeper.
