Chapter 745 She’s Not Fit
He spoke loudly, pretending to be surprised while looking at Remus delightfully. “Grandpa, haven’t you been asking Nicholas for another great-grandson? You have Gregory right now, and you might even have a great-granddaughter next. Imagine, she’ll be so cute and adorable.”
Remus didn’t say a word, his face incredibly dark.
Meanwhile, Kieran didn’t mind him either. He continued to jokingly canvass, “Of course, it could be twins as well. Aren’t you at a loss for words at Nicholas’ efficiency?”
Looking at Kieran’s jovial look, Remus was even more enraged. “Shut up! You’re not in the place to talk now. Stay aside quietly,” he snapped at Kieran and took his rage out on him, for he didn’t understand how things had turned out this way when they were here to ask for an explanation from Nicholas.
For a moment, no one said anything in the living room. Tobias and Stefania didn’t know what more they could say. As for Kieran, he didn’t dare to simply say anything after getting scolded by his grandfather.
At this moment, Nicholas looked at the silent crowd, and his gaze landed on Remus. He couldn’t help but ask, “Grandpa, Tessa is a good woman. She’s hardworking and self-motivated, and she’ll definitely achieve something big in the future. Why do you have a biased opinion toward her?”
After a few moments of silence, Remus replied coldly, “That’s because she’s not fit to be Gregory’s mother.”
Hearing that, Nicholas narrowed his eyes as his face turned gloomy. “You should know very well that no one is more qualified than her to be Gregory’s mother.”
He stared at Remus and continued, “Also, has Gregory gotten worse because of her? He’s even becoming more thoughtful these days, don’t you think so?”
Remus was speechless once more, but he was unwilling to let Nicholas marry Tessa just like that. In the end, he ground his teeth in anger and said, “Even if she can take care of Gregory, the woman beside you should be someone who can help you with your business.”
When Kieran heard that, he started to have mixed feelings. He didn’t know that Remus would take Nicholas’ marriage as leverage for their family’s interests.
On the contrary, Nicholas was still calm as usual. After all, he already knew what kind of person Remus was.
“Grandpa, I hope you can understand that what I need is a life partner. I want a soul mate, not a business partner.” He looked at Remus with coldness in his eyes. “I have my employees to help me with my business. Why would I need a woman to maintain it for me?”
When Remus heard that, he turned blue in the face. Tobias also felt uncomfortable hearing that, so he snapped, “How can you talk to your grandfather this way, Nicholas?!”
“I’m just stating the facts. Why? Do all of you think that our Sawyer Family has declined so badly that we need to rely on a woman?”
His words shut the elders’ mouths completely. On the other hand, Kieran, who was observing from the side, gave his brother a thumbs up.
At this moment, Gregory ran out in little steps from the side. “Great-Grandpa, can you please let Daddy and Miss Tessa be together?”
All this while, he was hiding at the back since it was his first time seeing his great-grandfather and grandfather this angry, so he was afraid of them. Now that he realized the atmosphere had turned slightly better, he quickly came out to help his daddy.
When Remus saw his precious great-grandson beside him, his expression turned calmer, but he didn’t answer the little guy.
Seeing Gregory here, Stefania felt that he shouldn’t be present since this was a matter between the adults, so she wanted to let him leave the place. “Gregory, why don’t you show me your room?”
Gregory was a smart kid, so he understood his grandmother’s intention. He quickly hugged Remus by the leg and said, “I’m not leaving.” He shook his head.
As he said that, he tilted his little head and looked at Remus before saying in a baby voice, “Great-Grandpa, Miss Tessa is very good. She’s very good to me too. She even taught me how to play the piano and violin. She also taught me to be a thoughtful kid. Can you not dislike Miss Tessa? She has a little baby in her tummy now. If she’s sad, the little baby will be sad too.”
