    Chapter 360 Family


    A smile curled his lips, and he praised, “You have courage. Keep it up.”


    “I am not kidding.” Timothy frowned.


    “I did not say you were,” Nichs answered, and his smile disappeared. “I just wish that if the day


    comes where I can’t keep her safe anymore, you’ll take my ce and protect her. But I don’t think you’ll


    have that chance.”


    “I won’t be too sure about that.” Timothy felt a little convinced, but for the most part, he didn’t believe


    Nichs.


    Nichs could tell what he was thinking, of course. “Just like your sister, I too am loyal to a


    rtionship.”


    Timothy looked at him for a while, trying to see if he was lying. A long whileter, he begrudgingly


    acknowledged Nichs. “You had better be.” He snorted.


    “I am loyal,” Nichs answered confidently.


    Timothy shut up.


    The conversation ended, and Edward gave Timothy an impressed look. That’s the second time


    someone took that attitude with Mr. Sawyer. Ms. Reinhart is the first. I guess they are a family. They’re


    brave.


    They heard Gregory’s happyughing closer, and Tessa came in with the boy. She noticed the


    tension between her brother and Nichs, and she asked, “What were you guys talking about?”


    Timothy gave Nichs a nce. “Nothing. Just talking about the development of the GPS with your


    husband.”


    Tessa choked on herself in surprise. “My husband?” She stared at her brother in shock, then she


    turned her attention to Nichs. What on earth did you two talk about while I was gone?


    “Did I say something wrong? Did you two, you know…” Timothy feigned ignorance and looked at


    Tessa.

    He didn’t finish, but Tessa knew what he was getting at, and her face turned beet red.


    Nichs smiled. “I like that title.” This kid gets it.


    Tessa’s face got even redder, as if she was in a sauna.


    Nichs saw that, and he thought she was adorable. He teased, “Well, it is a bit early to call me her


    husband just yet. I still need to give you a red packet for that. I’ll do it next time.” He directed thest


    part of that reply to Timothy.


    Timothy nodded. “Thank you, Nick.”


    Even Tessa’s neck was getting red with embarrassment. She couldn’t do anything to Nichs, so she


    red at her brother. “Timothy!”


    Timothy wasn’t scared at all, and he called for help. “Nick, Tessa’s mad! Calm her down!”


    Gregory looked around. His instincts told him that his father was bullying Tessa, and he went to her


    defense. “You’re a meanie, Daddy! Don’t bully Miss Tessa!” The air felt even warmer with him joining in,


    and they looked even more like a family.


    Edward was single, and the scene hurt him. “I went all the way here to work overtime, and I’m forced to


    see a family having the time of their life while I’m all by myself. Oh, all by myself,” he muttered softly,


    but Timothy heard that.


    “You can get a girlfriend too. There are a lot of women on this ship,” Timothy suggested.


    Nichs heard that, and he gave Edward a mysterious smile. “I can arrange a date for you if you


    want.”


    For some reason, Nichs’ smile sent a chill down Edward’s spine. He refused, “It’s alright. I think I’m


    fine just like this. Yes, I am.”


    The look on his face made Tessaugh.


    Nichs’ phone rang. Kieran? He took his phone and went away. “What is it?”


    “When are youing back? The old man is trying to locate you.”
