Chapter 409 Worried
Remus ignored Stefania, though.
Seeing Remus’ response, Stefania looked embarrassed.
With that, the atmosphere in the car became somewhat oppressive. Luckily, they arrived at the Sawyer Residence soon after that.
Remus got out of the car with Andrew’s help. Before Tobias and the others got out of the car, he said coldly, “Just do whatever you guys are supposed to do.” With that, he motioned for Andrew to leave.
Remus then recuperated at home for a few days. Knowing that Nicholas was determined not to come back, he eventually decided not to force him anymore.
However, Hayley came to the Sawyer Residence every single day to visit Remus these days, and today was no exception.
“You look much better than yesterday, Old Master Sawyer. Seems like you had a good rest last night.” Dressed in a gray long-sleeved lace dress belted at the waist, Hayley sat on the sofa, wearing a meek and charming smile on her exquisitely made-up face.
Sitting across from her was Remus, who was dressed in loungewear. Although he was no longer as energetic as he used to be, it was true that he looked much better. “Thanks for visiting me every day.” He took a sip of his tea while looking at Hayley fondly.
Hayley pursed her lips before flattering him in an unnoticeable way, saying, “I just want to see you get better since I wish that you’re in good health.”
It had to be said that Hayley’s daily visits made Remus grow increasingly fond of her. As a consequence, the idea that he had given up at first emerged again.
That night, Hayley took her leave after having dinner with Remus. After seeing her leave the living room, Remus called Andrew over, saying, “Tell our people to do everything possible to search for Nicholas.”
Andrew was puzzled as to why Remus wanted to look for Nicholas again all of a sudden. Still, he nodded and did as Remus said.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, Nicholas was totally unaware of these things. After settling down in Vienna, he handled the company’s affairs in the villa’s study during the day and had dinner with Tessa and Gregory at night. Occasionally, they would go out for a walk like a family, and Tessa would find time to teach Gregory to play the violin. Their lives were so happy and fulfilling every single day that it felt unreal.
In the quiet of the night, Tessa nestled in Nicholas’ arms. Upon recalling how happy their lives had been these days, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
The man’s deep voice rang beside her. “Why sigh all of a sudden?”
Tessa was startled; she thought Nicholas had fallen asleep. “Why are you still awake?”
“I was about to fall asleep at first, but I heard you sigh, so I don’t feel like sleeping anymore for now. What’s wrong?” Nicholas questioned.
Tessa shook her head and glossed it over, saying, “Nothing. I just wanted to sigh all of a sudden. Let’s sleep.” As she spoke, she hugged Nicholas and closed her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Nicholas fell asleep with her in his arms without questioning her further.
No one knew how much time had passed before Tessa opened her eyes again. Staring at the man’s impeccably handsome face, she was somewhat worried deep down. She wondered whether it was right or wrong of her to stay here with Nicholas like this.
Over the next few days, Tessa concealed her emotions pretty well, but Nicholas nonetheless noticed her misgivings. On this day, he booked three flight tickets to Filisburg right away, planning to take Tessa and Gregory to go sightseeing in Filisburg on the weekend when Tessa didn’t have to go to the orchestra to undergo training.
After getting off the plane, Tessa slipped her left arm through Nicholas’ arm while holding Gregory’s hand in her right hand with a smile of irrepressible happiness on her face. The good-looking pair and the adorable kid became the envy of others right away.
After leaving the airport, Nicholas took Tessa and Gregory to the hotel to check in and rest for a while. After they had lunch, he took the two of them out of the hotel.
On their way out of the hotel, Tessa asked curiously, “Where are we going?”
“You’ll know it once we arrive,” Nicholas answered, deliberately keeping Tessa in suspense as he drove.
Tessa couldn’t help but chuckle, but her heart warmed. Nicholas acts like this whenever he’s preparing a surprise for me.
Gregory was also curious about where his father would take them, but he was even happier to be able to be with Tessa.
