    Chapter 370 The Stones’ n


    She quickly went to take her violin. A whileter, the car was filled with the soothing tune of her violin. It


    was sometimes slow, sometimes happy, and sometimes mncholic, though it sounded great overall.


    Nichs felt calm for some reason as he listened to her y. It was like her music had magic.


    Once she was done ying, she looked at him with anticipation. “So, how was it?”


    “Great.”


    “Are you feeling better yet?”


    Nichs looked into her eyes, and he felt warm. He knew she was trying to cheer him up, so he


    smiled. “A lot better.”


    Tessa looked at him closely and noticed that the anger on his face was gone. It was reced by a


    smile instead. She started talking about how the orchestra celebrated her birthday earlier in the day.


    Nichs listened quietly and would pipe up at times. He didn’t stop smiling the whole time he was


    talking to her. Even after they hung up, he was still smiling.


    Edward looked at him in the rear-view mirror, and he sighed. Wow, Miss Reinhart sure is awesome. I’ve


    never seen someone dousing Mr. Sawyer’s anger before.


    After Hayley went home, she sat on the couch and processed her shock, but it was proving to be hard.


    The Stone couple was surprised to see their daughter looking so petrified when they came downstairs.


    “Hayley, I thought you’re going to have dinner with Remus tonight. Why are you back so soon?” Sonia


    sat across from her.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    Nero followed and sat beside his wife. He shrewdly noticed the troubled look on his daughter’s face,


    and he asked, “What happened? You don’t look too good.”


    Hayley bit her lip and told them what she heard at the Sawyer Residence. “Dad, Mom, I just found out


    that Gregory is Nichs and Tessa’s son.”


    “What?” The Stone couple was shocked.


    Hayley continued, “Nichs doesn’t want to marry me because of Gregory’s mother.”


    The Stone couple’s faces fell. Their family lost a lot of money in an overseas projecttely, and they


    needed a lot of funds to cover that. They had used a part of the funds of a branchpany in the


    nation, but it was just a stopgap measure. They still had a huge hole to patch, so they desperately


    needed this marriage of convenience to help them. However, Nichs’ adamant refusal was not


    helping them, and now they knew they couldn’t wait anymore.


    Sonia gritted her teeth. “This engagement cannot be canceled. If he doesn’t want to get engaged, then


    we’ll force him to.”


    “But how?” He could even go against his own grandfather. I don’t think we can force him to do this.


    Sonia squinted, her eyes glinting with cunning. “Remus himself asks you to be Nichs’ wife. If I tell


    everyone about the engagement, Nichs must attend it even if he doesn’t want to, or their family


    would be embarrassed.”


    “Not bad. Sure, your reputation might be hurt, but we’re the victims here. That won’t harm us.” Nero


    nodded.


    Hayley was tempted to agree, but she hesitated. She didn’t think Nichs would give in so easily, and


    she shook her head. “That’s one n, but Nichs has told his grandfather that he won’t attend the


    engagement even if he goes on with it.”


    “Ah, that’s just his anger talking. You don’t have to take it seriously.”


    The Stone couple didn’t think he was serious, and they sneered. “Besides, Remus isn’t really young


    anymore. Nichs has to consider his health. If Remus gets sick because of his actions, the whole


    family will go against him.”


    Hayley still thought it wouldn’t be that easy.
