Chapter 165


    Chapter 165


    “Based on the Sawyers’ prestigious family background, you should be able to easily hire another


    teacher. Compared to me, there would be many more talented people out there who can guide


    Gregory. Besides, I have other personal reasons that I can’t disclose, so I hope that you’ll understand


    my decision and allow me to leave.”


    At that point, Tessa thought that she could finally heave a sigh of relief when she finished her words,


    but the ache in her heart seemed to amplify in intensity to the point where she found herself slightly


    breathless.


    Despite that, she continued to maintain her silence and kept her eyes on Nichs. She had decided


    that she wanted to speak up and resolve everything today.


    As soon as Nichs heard that, his expression darkened. “Don’t you dare forget about the deal we


    had!”


    Meanwhile, Tessa responded, “I can pay the penalty.”


    However, her words triggered him and he coldly mentioned, “Tessa, I’ve really underestimated you!”


    After he had said that, he turned around and coldly strode off.


    He could tell that Tessa was adamant to leave. Meanwhile, he wasn’t one to continuously retain


    someone and since she didn’t intend to stay back, then there was really no need to force her.


    Meanwhile, in Dynasty Garden, Nichs had just arrived home and immediately went into his room.


    There was a cold look on his face as he took a shower and changed his clothes.


    He hadn’t slept at all the night before and it merely added onto the inexplicable anger he currently felt,


    making the current expression on his face rather ugly.


    Gregory was in his room when he distinctly heard the sound of Nichs arriving home.


    He immediately didn’t even bother to change his clothes and he ran to Nichs’ room in his pair of little


    cow pajamas. Besides, he also carried in his arms a fluffy little plush toy.


    “Hey, you’re up,” Nichs noted.


    Gregory rubbed his eyes and spoke in a childish voice, “I had a bad dream and Miss Tessa told me


    before to look for her if I had a bad dream. I can’t seem to find her. Daddy, I miss her a lot.”


    As soon as Nichs heard Gregory mention that he missed Tessa, his own expression darkened


    before he responded, “You can look for me too, though.” –

    Meanwhile, Gregory didn’t realize that Nichs was in a foul mood and continued to ask expectantly,


    “Where’s Miss Tessa? When is sheing back? It’s been so many days and I really want to see her.”


    At that point, Nichs noticed that Gregory couldn’t stop mentioning Tessa and at that point, Nichs’


    anger had reached its boiling point in which he couldn’t contain himself. “Don’t you have other things to


    do? If she wants toe back, then she will. There’s no need to wait for her! If she doesn’t want to


    come back, then you shouldn’t force it. You must be having too much free time on your hands to be


    able to think of all this. From now on, your daily homework will be doubled! That will keep you busy so


    that you won’t have the time to mention all this.”


    At that moment, Gregory was momentarily stunned by Nichs’ sudden fierce outburst. Nheless,


    he was an intelligent child, so he instantly understood the meaning behind Nichs’ words. All of a


    sudden, the tears swam in his eyes as he mentioned in an aggrieved tone, “Miss Tessa… Is she gone


    forever?”


    However, Nichs remained silent.


    Gregory immediately knew the answer and the hopeful glint in his eyes gradually dissipated. In the end,


    he didn’t say a word and turned around to leave.


    “What’s wrong with Young Master Gregory?”


    At that moment, Andrew had intended toe and inform Nichs that breakfast was ready, but he


    noticed a dejected Gregory walking out of the room. Meanwhile, Nichs, who generally doted on the


    child very much, had a cold look too. As such, Andrew couldn’t help asking out of curiosity.


    In response, Nichs coldly mentioned, “It’s nothing. Just ignore him.”


    Then, Andrew was tempted to say something but held his tongue since Nichs was in a foul mood.


    However, Andrew couldn’t help thinking, Master Nichs has always doted on Young Master Gregory,


    and whatever that Young Master Gregory is after, Master Nichs would always give it to him. What’s


    going on right now?


    Meanwhile, Nichs realized that Gregory was surely throwing a tantrum right now but the former


    didn’t bother to coax thetter. Everyone in this house dotes on him so much and he gets his way all


    the time. Each time he encounters anything that makes him unhappy, he would definitely throw a


    tantrum. This time, I want him to understand that he can’t always have his way! No one is obligated to


    sacrifice themself for him. Nichs was adamant not to pamper him so much anymore.


    After Nichs finished his breakfast, he returned to thepany where he had consecutive meetings


    for the entire morning before dealing with some paperwork too.


    It was finally mid-afternoon when he suddenly received a call from home. It was Andrew on the line.


    “Master Nichs, Young Master Gregory has locked himself in his room and refused to eat lunch. What


    should we do now? Could you perhapse home for a short while?” he asked with a worried voice.


    As soon as Nichs heard that Gregory refused to eat, he instinctively grabbed his jacket and made


    his way out of the room.
