Chapter 407


    Chapter 407 Calling off the Engagement


    Upon hearing Kieran’s words, Remus fell silent. I thought that everything I’d done was for Nichs’


    own good, but could the current situation really have been my fault?


    Seeing that Remus seemed to have listened to his words, Kieran tried to persuade him further.


    However, before he could speak, Remus chased him out of the ward with a wave of his hand. “I want to


    have some time alone. Get out of the room, all of you; Andrew, you may stay.”


    Kieran and his parents were worried about Remus, but they could only leave the ward as they were


    unable to dissuade Remus. Before they left, they didn’t forget to ask Andrew to take good care of


    Remus.


    With that, silence filled the ward at once. After a long time, Remus’ frail voice rang in the room. “Am I


    really wrong?” he said as if mumbling to himself or asking Andrew.


    Seeing how Remus looked, Andrew stood aside and persuaded him, saying, “Old Master Sawyer, I’d


    say we should let the younger generation carve out their own path in life. Maybe Master Nichs did


    something so extreme because he really had been pushed too hard.”


    Upon hearing this, Remus closed his eyes without saying a word.


    Seeing Remus’ response, Andrew loyally stayed by his sickbed without saying another word.


    Meanwhile, Kieran was stopped and interrogated by his parents again in the hallway. “Kieran, do you


    really have no idea where your brother’s been?” Stefania looked at Kieran skeptically.


    Standing beside her was Tobias, who fixed Kieran with a warning re.


    Kieran felt a headacheing on when he saw his parents like this. “Dad, Mom, like I said, I don’t


    know where Nichs is. Why wouldn’t you believe me?”


    “You don’t know where he is? If you don’t know where he is, why were you speaking for him just now?”


    Stefania didn’t believe at all that Kieran didn’t know Nichs’ whereabouts. “I’m telling you, either you


    go and bring Nichs back at once, or you don’te back anymore.”


    Speechless, Kieran was both upset and aggrieved. Why am I always the one who suffers for the


    trouble Nichs has caused? he thought. Still, he gritted his teeth and insisted, “Like I said, I don’t


    know where Nichs is, so where am I supposed to look for him? Ah, never mind. If you can’t stand


    the sight of me at home, just chase me out so that I don’t have to manage thepany’s affairs


    anymore,” he said in a fit of desperation. In any case, I can’t betray Nichs no matter what.


    Stefania was rendered speechless with anger by his flippant tone of voice. “How dare you—”


    Tobias wished he could beat up this son of his, too.


    Just then, however, Hayley’s gentle voice rang behind them. “Mr. Sawyer, Mrs. Sawyer, Kieran, why


    are you guys standing outside the ward?”


    Upon hearing Hayley’s voice, Stefania immediatelyposed her features and turned around to look


    at Hayley with fondness. “What brings you here at such ate hour?” Previously, Hayley had looked


    after Remus in the hospital rain or shine, which made the elders of the Sawyer Family grow fond of her.


    Therefore, at the moment, the Sawyer Family’s elders treated her as a member of the younger


    generation that they found pleasing.


    Seeing his mother’s sudden change in countenance, Kieran speechlessly stood aside and rolled his


    eyes in secret before staring at Hayley. He also wanted to know why this woman came here.


    Pursing her lips slightly, Hayley replied with a pained expression, “I heard that Old Master Sawyer fell ill


    again, so I’m here to pay him a visit and have my engagement to Nichs called off while I’m at it. Is it


    convenient for him to see me now?”


    Stefania was surprised. “You want to call off the engagement?”

    Tobias and Kieran were surprised as well, especially Kieran, who never dreamed that Hayley would


    propose calling off the engagement on her own initiative. Isn’t this woman determined to marry no one


    else but Nichs?


    Hayley didn’t know what Kieran was thinking, though. Forcing a smile, she pretended to be mature and


    magnanimous, saying, “Mrs. Sawyer, I’m not someone who doesn’t know what’s good for me either.


    Now that Nichs has made it clear that he’s unwilling to marry me, if I still insist on marrying him, I’ll


    only make myself aughingstock.”


    Upon hearing such words, Stefania and Tobias suddenly felt somewhat sorry for Hayley, who seemed


    so sensible and mature. They felt that she really was a good girl, and that it’d be too bad for their son to


    let her slip through his fingers. They wanted to persuade Hayley not to call off the engagement at first,


    but upon recalling their son’s attitude, they bit back their words of persuasion.
