Chapter 942 An Excuse to See Nicholas
However, Nicholas loved Tessa, so there was nothing Remus could do either. “So be it.” He
snorted. “Whatever he does is his problem.”
Meanwhile, Wanda rejoiced at the sight of Remus blowing a fuse. Only would she have a
chance at having Nicholas to herself when the elder was super displeased at Tessa.
At that, she feigned virtue and soothed, “No need to get upset, Old Master Sawyer. Just
because Nicholas isn’t coming back, it doesn’t mean you guys can’t go to him.”
“Forget about that. That boy will probably only grumble about us disturbing him,” Remus
complained. Wanda, on the other hand, felt absolutely terrible as Nicholas clearly only
wanted to be alone with Tessa.
For a moment, she was uber-jealous of Tessa. She honestly couldn’t figure out what
powers that woman had that could have Nicholas so infatuated with her he could forgo his
family and company.
You want time to yourselves? Dream on!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile malice brewed within her, she looked absolutely benign on the surface.
“That’s fine,” she soothed and continued, “I happen to have a business meeting in Vienna
in a few days. If you have any presents, I can deliver them to Nicholas for you.”
“That would be nice. Thank you.”
Remus didn’t turn her down. As much as he was complaining and despising Nicholas on
the surface, he still missed his grandson. At that, he had Ian bring the gift over.
Wanda rejoiced as she took the gift from Ian, for she finally had a valid reason to see
Nicholas now!
Of course, Tessa knew none of that.
She was nuzzling in her beloved husband’s arms at night, discussing his birthday plans.
“Won’t your parents be upset that you’re not going back?”
As happy as she was that Nicholas chose to stay and celebrate his birthday with her, she
was still worried that the Sawyer elders would be displeased with her because of this.
Nicholas knew her thoughts the second he glanced at her with a lowered head, and he
chuckled. “They won’t. Don’t overthink things.”
“How do you plan on celebrating your birthday this year? Would you like a banquet or
something?” asked Tessa after a nod.
“There’s no need for something fancy. Just you, me, and Gregory will do. I don’t want you
to wear yourself out.” Nicholas expressed his thoughts.
Despite feeling incredibly touched, she still suggested, “But I think we should still invite a
few friends over for dinner. Make it a little more lively.”
Nicholas naturally agreed to it. It was his beloved wife’s gesture, after all.
The following few days were uneventful.
Tessa would go to Simon’s to work on her piece every day after training.
Ever since receiving pointers from him, her inspiration had been through the roof, and she
practically got her piece down in a mere few days. Now, all there was left was the ending.
But the problem was that she had some doubts about it. Thus, she asked Simon for more
advice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Everything looks alright as a whole, but I think you can polish the link here.” Simon gave
her his advice very quickly, then couldn’t help praising, “This piece is far better than the
ones you’ve done in the past. Keep it up. I believe you don’t need me as your teacher
anymore soon.”
Tessa was surprised that Simon would have such high praises for this piece, but she still
teased mischievously, “No way, I still haven’t learned everything from you.”
“What, are you thinking of latching onto me forever?” Despite glaring at the young
woman, he was smiling amiably.
Through their frequent interaction, he had long seen Tessa as one of his own.
Tessa blinked and nodded like he had guessed right. “That’s right. I’m latching onto you
forever.”
“Shoo, leave. Go and work on your piece. The mister’s birthday is just around the corner.”
Simon waved his hand with feigned despise to shoo Tessa away, but his voice was filled
with adoration for the young woman.
Tessa burst into a chuckle but still went to fix her piece.
At the same time, she grew more excited about Nicholas’ birthday.
Surely Nicholas would be surprised when even Simon said her piece was good.
