Chapter 863 Play the Long Game
Wanda had thought Nicholas’ feelings toward her were gradually changing, but it seemed that she had
just been imagining things. Because she had no reason to stay any longer, she simply left lest Nicholas
got upset.That night, she went to Sawyer Residence with a gift in hand. “Old Master Sawyer, I’m here to
visit you. How has your health been in the past two days?”
Feeling pleased by her thoughtfulness, Remus replied kindly, “I’m doing great. How about you? Has the
company been progressing well? Did anyone cause any trouble for you?”
“It’s going quite smoothly. Besides, with Nicholas’ and Master Kieran’s help, nobody would dare to cause
any trouble for me.”
Wanda knew what Remus wanted to hear and tactfully praised the two young masters of the Sawyer
Family.
After she finished speaking, she added bashfully, “Speaking of which, I feel embarrassed for troubling
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicholas so often these days.”
“Why should you feel embarrassed? If you need anything in the future, just go to Nicholas. After all, he
promised your grandfather to take good care of you.”
Remus hoped that the two of them would spend more time together as he hoped that the woman who
would stand next to Nicholas would be someone who could assist him in his business compared to
Tessa who usually dabbled in music.
Hearing this, Wanda thought that Remus was supporting herself as always, and her smile turned even
sweeter. “Since you’ve said that, Old Master Sawyer, I won’t hold back with Nicholas in the future.”
However, despite her words, she was well aware that Remus’ support wasn’t enough for her to get
together with Nicholas; she needed Nicholas’ feelings for her to change. At that thought, she suddenly
pretended to look downcast and hesitated to continue speaking to Remus.
When he sensed her abnormal behavior, a glint flashed past Remus’ eyes, and he asked worriedly,
“What’s wrong? Why are you unhappy all of a sudden?”
“It’s nothing much, actually. I just feel that whenever I look for Nicholas, he seems to have his guard up
against me. I was wondering if he has misunderstood me emotionally.”
After Wanda finished speaking, she looked at Remus expectantly, hoping that he would help her. At the
same time, she also wanted to take this opportunity to make things clear. Unexpectedly, he said nothing
in reply.
Of course, it was because he had seen through Wanda’s thoughts at a glance. Although he wanted her
to approach Nicholas, the current situation was no longer suitable for him to interfere any further.
Besides, ever since Gregory was taken away, along with their previous quarrel, Nicholas hadn’t come to
apologize to him yet.
Upon seeing that Remus had fallen silent and didn’t seem to plan to stand up for her, Wanda felt her
heart drop all of a sudden. Could it be that he had already begun to accept Tessa’s existence? She
frowned slightly, thinking to herself that this was not a good sign. However, as Tessa was training abroad,
there weren’t many opportunities for her to pounce on her mistakes. At that thought, Wanda gritted her

Even so, she did not show it on her face, and she accompanied Remus for dinner. At the table, she no
longer mentioned Nicholas, but talked about things he liked to make him happy.
Noticing Wanda’s tactfulness, Remus felt satisfied.
Once she had finished her meal, Wanda saw that it was getting late, so she offered to leave. As soon as
she left the mansion, her face instantly darkened. In the beginning, she thought Remus was supporting
her, but from the current look of things, she had to play the long game instead.
Meanwhile, Tessa was unaware of this situation. After meeting her senior apprentices, she resumed her
daily training life. Similarly, Gregory took violin classes in the morning and received lessons from his
home tutor in the afternoon, making his workload extremely heavy.
Tessa felt distressed that Gregory had to learn so many things every day, and she came back as early as
possible in the evening to take care of him herself.
Because he had her company, Gregory was very well-behaved every day and studied hard.
“Mommy, I got full marks in my quiz today.” When Tessa returned home today, Gregory looked at her
expectantly, waiting for her praise.
