    Chapter 184


    The deste look in Tessa’s eyes made Timothy fall into a silence.


    Inparison to the Sawyer Group, they were insignificant people at the bottom of the pile who


    alified to make friends with them or get along well with them. Nheless, just because they were at


    the bottom now didn’t mean that they would be in the future.


    And so, Timothy swore to himself that from now on, he would work extra hard and run thepany


    well so that sooner orter, his sister would have the confidence to hold her head high no matter who it


    was standing before her.


    Timothy smiled, “Tess, don’t be upset. It’s nothing, everything will turn out well. I shall be on my way to


    the office.”


    Tessa curled up the corner of her lips. “Alright. Be careful on your way there.”


    After her brother had left, Tessa, who had some free time, focused her attention on cleaning the house.


    She cleaned and wiped every nook and cranny of the house.


    Meanwhile, Gregory was feeling down when they were on their way home. He kept looking behind and


    staring at where Tessa’s house was, not withdrawing his gaze until they had left the neighborhood.


    Nichs cast a nce at him. “You want to stay there, right? Why didn’t you voice it out earlier?”


    When they were leaving, it was obvious that Gregory was very reluctant to leave. The way he opened


    and closed his mouth but said nothing had revealed his thoughts at that moment, so it would be


    impossible for Nichs to not notice it.


    Gregory shook his head. “I can’t. I don’t want to force Miss Tessa. Miss Tessa was hurt, so she must be


    really sad. Even if I don’t mind that she can’t continue teaching me, she herself must be concerned


    about it. I don’t want to see her being upset.”


    Nichs kept quiet for a moment and changed the topic. “Do you want to go home or follow me to the


    office?”


    Afterst night, the rtionship between the father and son had eased a lot. Gregory seemed to have


    be more mature overnight. Nichs wasn’t worried that the boy would lock himself in the music


    room after they went back, but he still thought he should ask his son’s opinion.


    “The office,” Gregory replied.


    When Nichs arrived at the office of the Sawyer Group, he immediately threw himself into work


    without wasting a second. His entire morning was spent having meetings, while Gregory quietly stayed


    in his office and yed by himself. The child was in his best behavior even without having anyone to


    keep himpany.


    When it was almost noon, the door to Nichs’ office was suddenly pushed open.


    “Great-Grandpa!” Gregory looked behind and saw Tobias. The boy smiled as he dashed toward the


    man. He pounced on Tobias’ leg and wrapped his arms around it, nuzzling his face against it


    affectionately


    His reaction put a smile on Tobias’ face. “Little guy, why are you here on your own? Where’s your dad?”


    “Daddy’s having a meeting,” Gregory answered.


    “Let me see what my sweetheart is doing.” Tobias walked up to the couch where Gregory had been


    ying


    “It’s Lego. Great-Grandpa, guess what I’ve built!” With a grin, Gregory raised the Lego up high and


    brought it near Tobias, showing off his work.


    “A European-style castle?” After giving it a nce, Tobias could roughly tell from the iplete


    structure that it was a ssic,plex European castle from the med


    “Yes, Great-Grandpa! You have guessed it correctly.” A beaming Gregory leaned against the old man.


    Tobias praised, “That’s a nice piece of work.”


    As Tobias seldomplimented others, his suddenpliment made Gregory feel embarrassed. And


    so, the child smiled with pursed lips and blushed face.


    The old man chatted with Gregory for a while before thetter asked, “Great-Grandpa, why are you


    here to see Daddy?”


    Tobias smiled and mysteriously said, “To talk about something.”


    Just then, the door to the office swung open again. Both Tobias and Gregory looked at the door, only to


    see a slender figure walking in through the door while the man’s couture leather shoes tapped on the


    floor.


    Upon seeing that it was Nichs, Gregory hopped off the couch and ran up to him, calling out to him


    sweetly, “Daddy.”


    Nichs ruffled the boy’s hair before looking at the old man before him in surprise. “Grandpa, why are


    you here? Did something happen?”


    Ever since the old man had retired, he had seldome to the office. They would usually report to him


    at home when there were any issues, so Tobias had nevere to the office in person to see him. His


    sudden appearance gave Nichs a sense of foreboding.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
