Chapter 996 I Want To Know the Secret Too
Sofia changed the topic as she naturally caught sight of Tessa’s low mood. ”Oh, right. I forgot to tell you about the song recording. I’ve discussed it with Simon. You can record at his studio moving forward.
He had the best equipment, and the recorded sound quality would be better. He can also guide you when you’re there as well.” Tessa nodded. ”Thank you, Miss Sofia.”
”No problem. It’s just a small matter.” Sofia honestly thought it was just a small matter. However, Eunice was jealous as she heard such a big opportunity fall into Tessa’s lap. How could Miss Sofia treat Tessa so well when Sofia didn’t even borrow Simon’s recording studio for me when I was recording my album?
Her already resentful eyes were filled with even more viciousness when she thought of that. Unfortunately, Tessa did not notice Eunice’s malice as she was too preoccupied with other things in her mind.
After lunch, she went back home with Gregory. But, to their surprise, they saw Nicholas, who was supposed to be on the flight back to Xerthania, when they entered the living room.
”Daddy! Weren’t you going to save Uncle Kieran? Why are you still at home?” Gregory looked at him in bewilderment.
Tessa also walked over to ask, ”What happened? Aren’t you going back?”
”Nope. Kieran has been rescued.” Nicholas pulled on Tessa’s hand, and they sat down together before telling her what had happened.
Once she heard the whole story, she breathed a sigh of relief. ”Did he get hurt?” Gregory also looked up at Nicholas with concern upon hearing her inquiry.
”He wasn’t hurt by the kidnappers. Still alive and jumping around.” Nicholas smirked as if he thought of something funny.
Nevertheless, Tessa was confused. What did he mean by not being hurt by the kidnappers?
He saw her befuddlement as he leaned over and whispered into her ears. Then, he explained, ”Mom thought he caused trouble by drinking too much and landed himself in that situation. So, she taught him a lesson.”
She was rendered speechless and felt Kieran was somewhat pitiful, but somehow found the situation funny.
Gregory looked at Tessa, who suddenly started giggling before blinking his eyes, and he trotted over. ”Mommy. Daddy. What’re you whispering about? I wanna know.”
”Nothing.” She ruffled his hair gently, but she had no intention of telling him about Kieran’s embarrassing incident. No matter what, Kieran was his uncle, and she wanted to protect his image.
However, Gregory only felt that his parents were not sharing secrets with him and pouted unhappily. ”Daddy and Mommy are bad. You’re not telling me secrets.”
Tessa chuckled as she swiftly threw the blame onto Nicholas. ”It’s because Daddy is not letting me tell you.”
Gregory immediately glowered at Nicholas with his cute little face. ”Daddy is the bad guy. I want to know the secret. Or else, I’m going to ignore you.”
Nicholas quirked a brow in amusement and didn’t feel threatened at all as he redirected the conversation and asked, ”Do you want to talk to Uncle Kieran?”
”Yes! I want to talk to Uncle Kieran.” Nicholas easily diverted Gregory’s attention since he was still a young child.
Still, it was also because he was very worried for Kieran. He could not relax until he saw it with his own eyes despite Nicholas claiming that Kieran was fine.
After a while, Kieran connected the video call, and it was as Nicholas said. Kieran was alright.
That night, Wanda received a call from her assistant when she was still in deep slumber. ”Miss Muller, Kieran was rescued, and the men we found were all sent to the police station. What do we do now?”
Her exhaustion immediately went out the window when she heard that and sprang upright on the bed. ”What did you say? Kieran was rescued?”
She was in disbelief and asked again since this was faster than she expected.
Her assistant repeated again, and her tone got more anxious. ”Miss Muller, what should we do? Would the police and the Sawyer Family discover that we were the ones pulling the strings?”
”What are you panicking for? We’ll be fine as long as you do as you’re told.” Wanda was a lot calmer compared to her assistant.
Despite what she said, she was still a little nervous and guilty.
