Chapter 105
Tessa continued to praise. Thomas is handsome, tall, and muscular…”
“He has no money!” Kemp interrupted unreasonably.
Tessa dismissed him. “Money is just a material thing. It’s the least important.
Kemp rolled his eyes in silence.
“Alright. Thomas is about to get in the car. I need to go strike up a conversation and make myself familiar,” Tessa said and then ended the video call.
Kemp felt frustrated, thinking. A crazy woman who only cares about looks!”
Just as Thomas opened the car door with the remote and prepared to get in, Tessa rushed over like the wind, standing in front of Thomas with a bright smile and waving. Thomas, hella,”
Although Tessa was already in her forties, she had taken great care of herself and looked to be in her thirties, appearing particularly youthful.
Thomas wasn’t sure how to address Tessa, so he nodded slightly. “Hello, Miss.”
Tessa thought. Thomas is so sweet. He actually called me Miss
Good boy Tessa smiled brightly. “People say you’re cold, but I find you quite warm. Lucia is lucky to have you as her boyfriend
Thomas was shocked, thinking, Lucia? Is that Lucia she meant?”
“Ma’am, who is Lucia Thomas probed.
“Why did your way of addressing change?” Tessa took off her sunglasses, still smiling. “But you should actually call me that, I am Lucia’s mother. My name is Tessa. She then elegantly reached out her hand to Thomas.
you, Mrs. Gissing.
Faced with such a friendly Tessa, Thomas had no reason to refuse and shook her hand. “It’s nice to meet yo but I have something to do. I’ll be leaving now,” Thomas replied after shaking hands.
“How long will it take?” Tessa asked.
Tm going to the airport to pick up my sister,” Thomas answered honestly.
“Is that so?” Tessa pondered for a moment. “Lucia’s flight should have arrived. How about this. Let’s have dinner together.” Thomas thought. This pretend boyfriend‘ act can’t continue any longer. He was about to explain, “Mrs. Gissing, actually… “I know. Lucia is throwing a bit of a tantrum, and you two are in a fight. She was spoiled since childhood and can be a little. willful. Tommy, you have to forgive her, I will make her behave better. This is all her faule, and I will teach her a lesson.
“Tommy, please don’t stay angry with her. Just do it for my sake and reconcile with Lucia”
Tessa spoke very sincerely, putting all the blame on Lucia, which also showed her support for Thomas. Thomas rarely softened his attitude just for sentiment, but this time, he felt a biguilty to expose this lie
Thomas couldn’t clarify things in a short time and realized he couldn’t delay going to pick up Seraphina any longer, so he could only agree with a simple “Okay”
Tessa was very pleased. I’m staying at the Four Seasons Hotel. After you pick up your sister, come join us for dinner.

Thomas though Tcan’t let Seraphina know about this. Otherwise, it would be even more complicated. But he still nodded. “Okay, Mrs. Gissing, I’ll take my leave now.”
“Okay, go ahead. Be careful on the road. Tessa warmly reminded him and watched Thomas leave, thinking, “With me around, there’s no man I can’t handle.
Tessa left a voice message for Lucia. [Sweetheart, I’m waiting for you in room 1808 at the Four Seasons Hotel.]
- it.
An hour and a half later, there was a knock on the door. Dressed elegantly and composed, Tessa went to open Lucia stood at the door with her suitcase, and upon seeing Tessa, she rushed over affectionately, “Mommy, I missed you so much.
“I missed you too, good girl: After exchanging warm greetings, they finally entered the room.
“Mom, didn’t you say you were going straight back to Angoria? Why did you come to Kingsland? It can’t be for me, right?” Lucia asked.
Tessa replied. “You guessed it right. I came to see you.”
Lucia pouted playfully, I don’t believe it. I filled in for my colleague to fly to Kingsland at the last minute. I told you after I boarded the plane. Even if you had changed your flight, it wouldn’t have been that fast. Come on, admit it. Are you secretly dating someone behind Dad’s back?”
“You’re right. I came here to have a date. Tessa answered.
Lucia was taken aback. “No way, Mom! Are you going to betray Dad?”
ΠΙ
“If I could turn back twenty years, I would definitely betray your father
“Mom, don’t scare me. You and Dad are so sweet together. Dad loves you so much. He is well–known in the entertainment industry for being a devoted husband. Who could possibly captivate you enough to make you betray Dad?”
“Thomas! Tessa said with a smile.
The name made Lucia’s heart skip a beat. “Who? Who are you talking about?” she mumbled.
Thomas, the forward for the Isle Champions. I came to Kingsland just to see him. Tessa looked intently at Lucia.
Lucia felt inexplicably flustered. “Mom, are you joking? How olds Thomas…”
“That’s why I said if I turned back twenty years, I would pursue him. But now, I just hope he becomes your husband, Tessa laughed. “What’s wrong with coming to see your future husband
Lucia exclaimed, “Mom! What are you talking about? It must be something Dad said. How could he possibly be my husband?
“I know you two are having a conflict, but you will eventually reconcile.”
Lucia facepalmed. “Mom, we’re not.”
Then it’s just a disagreement, Tessa continued, “which is even easier to resolve with a meal. I’ve already met Thomas, and he agreed to have dinner with us?”
“What? Lucia looked shocked. He agreed?”
“Of course! I’m your mother, so how could he dare refuse?” Tessa took Lucia’s hand and said earnestly, “Lucia, Thomas is such a great guy. You can’t miss out on him.
Chapter 105
“You know, I’ve been a fan of his. Even before I knew you two were dating, I thought how great it would be if he were my son–in–law. I didn’t expect he would date you. You have no idea how happy I was when your dad told me.
“Lucia. Im so proud of you to take Thomas down.”
“Mom, I didn’t pursue him… Lucia felt powerless.
She thought, Is pursuing a guy proactively something I will do? And now I’m being teased by my own mother, who unilaterally placed this label on me as if I don’t deserve that jerk.
Tessa said. “No matter who took the initiative first, since you’re together, you should cherish it. You can’t threaten to break up every time you have a disagreement.”
