    “Ha!” Nichs let out a sneer. “In that case, I’ll resign from my position as president of thepany. It’s


    not like I cared much about this job, anyway. That way, Grandpa won’t have to get pissed off anymore,


    and I can do whatever I want to do without having to burden myself with my family,” he said. With that,


    he turned around and left right away. That very night, Nichs went abroad right away with Gregory.


    Tobias was stunned when he learned of the news. He didn’t expect Nichs to be so resolute and


    determined. Naturally, this couldn’t be kept from Remus either. “How uneptable! This is simply


    outrageous! Who gave him the permission to leave?!” he barked with a fierce glower while sitting on his


    sickbed in the hospital ward; he was so furious that his chest ached dully. Fearing that he might fall ill


    with rage, Tobias and Stefania repeatedly tried to appease him. Tobias said, “Take care of yourself,


    Dad. We’ll lecture Nichs for that.” Stefania chimed in, “Tobias’s right; you have to take care of


    yourself. The doctor said you can’t get angry at the moment.” To everyone’s surprise, Remus ignored


    them altogether and instead shifted his furious gaze to Kieran, who had been standing aside and trying


    to be invisible all this while. He ordered, “Go bring your brother back—now!” Kieran didn’t expect that


    Remus would target him despite his best efforts to minimize his presence. He blinked his eyes and


    threw his hands up, saying innocently, “Grandpa, it’s not that I don’t want to look for him. I don’t even


    know where he is.” Exasperated, Remus said to Tobias between clenched teeth, “Send people to look


    for him. Bring him back no matter what!” Tobias nodded with a solemn expression. Seeing Remus’


    response, Kieran breathed a sigh of relief. Well, it’s fine as long as I don’t have to look for Nichs


    myself, he thought. In fact, he had a rough idea of what Nichs was thinking. Indeed, Remus had


    pushed Nichs a little too far this time. Nichs only left because he had no other choice, so Kieran


    wanted to grab a chance for him. And besides, he knew where Nichs would go. Remus was still


    furious over the next few days. After all, he truly didn’t expect Nichs to actually quit his job as he had


    said. On the other hand, Hayley and the Stones were stupefied. Never did they expect Nichs to be


    so blunt; he’d rather resign as president of his family’spany than marry Hayley. “This Nichs guy


    has gone too far! He’s humiliating our Hayley!” Sonia swore in exasperation. Nero and Maxwell looked


    as ck as thunder, too. Her eyes lowered, Hayley sat on the sofa as her hands clenched into fists on


    herp with so much strength that her knuckles turned white. I’ve never been humiliated like this before


    in my whole life! she thought. … Meanwhile, Tessa waspletely unaware of what was happening in


    the country. Her daily life in Vienna was basically spent between the orchestra and her apartment.


    Today, she returned to her apartment with her violin on her back as usual. To her surprise, however, as


    soon as she reached the entrance of her neighborhood, she saw someone she didn’t expect. Gregory’s


    joyful voice rang. “Miss Tessa!” Shaking off Nichs’ hand, he merrily ran toward Tessa as fast as his


    little legs could carry him before flinging his arms around her legs. “Miss Tessa, I’m here to see you.


    Are you surprised?” Upon hearing this, Tessa finally recovered from surprise. She bent down and


    picked Gregory up before walking toward the extraordinarily handsome man nearby with a bright smile.


    Nichs watched with unconcealed tenderness in his eyes as thedy leisurely walked toward him.


    “Wee home,” he said. Tessa was stunned for a moment. She didn’t understand why, but these


    simple words made her feel at home. In the end, unable to figure out the reason, she gave up thinking


    about it. Her eyes crinkled in a smile as she nodded, saying, “Yeah, I’m back.” Nichs curled his lips


    into a faint smile. Then, he took Tessa’s violin from her and held her hand, taking her home. After they


    returned to the apartment, Tessa poured Nichs and Gregory a ss of water each and sat down on


    the sofa with them. “How long are you two gonna stay this time?” she asked. Nichs said with a


    mischievous smile, “What if I say we’re gonna stay here permanently?” “Daddy, are we really gonna


    stay here for a long time?”This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.
