Chapter 413


    Chapter 413 His Position on His Marriage


    Remus was in no mood for rest, of course. However, Nichs ignored him altogether and went to the


    garden to pick Gregory up before leaving the vi right away.


    Remus looked furious as he sat in the living room with his chest heaving up and down. “How


    outrageous! This is simply uneptable! He’s grown up indeed. How dare he defy me like this!”


    Seeing how angry he was, Andrew, standing beside him, persuaded, “Old Master Sawyer, I think


    Master Nichs is determined this time. Why don’t youply with his wishes instead? Didn’t you


    decide not to care about the matter anymore early on?”


    Remus replied, “I did decide not to care about the matter anymore, but I think it’ll be a great pity for


    Nichs to really miss a good girl like Hayley. How could that Reinhart womanpare to her? You


    know what happened back then. That Reinhart woman is totally after our family’s fortune.”


    Andrew hesitated for a moment. Still, he chose to speak for Nichs, saying, “Indeed, Miss Stone is a


    finedy, but Master Nichs doesn’t like her. Nothing good wille out of an arranged marriage. If


    Master Nichs and Miss Stone be an unhappy couple in the future, and he mes you for that,


    won’t you beat yourself up over it?”


    Remus remained silent as his face took on an inscrutable expression.


    Meanwhile, only after she arrived at the orchestra did Tessa realize with the benefit of hindsight that


    something was wrong. Nichs had let her leave in too much of a hurry. Obviously, he was trying to


    send her away. In an instant, she got worried about the situation at home, having no clue what the


    matter that made Nichs so anxious for her to leave was.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    As the situation at home was weighing on her mind, she was in no mood for practice at all, so she put


    down her violin and decided to rest for a while. Just when she was holding her cell phone and


    hesitating whether to call Nichs to ask him what had happened, he called her. She answered the


    phone, saying, “Nichs.”


    “When will you finish your practice? I’m now outside the entrance of the orchestra building.”


    “Just give me a minute. I’lle out after asking my teacher for leave,” Tessa replied. With that, she


    hung up and went to her teacher.


    A whileter, Tessa walked out of the orchestra building to see Nichs standing nearby in a ck suit


    with Gregory in his arms. She quickly stepped toward them, only to realize that Gregory had fallen


    asleep on the man’s shoulder, which made her bite back her questions.


    Nichs noticed Tessa’s hesitant expression, of course. Taking her hand in an unaffected manner, he


    said in a gentle voice, “Let’s go somewhere before I tell you about it.”


    Tessa nodded before leaving with Nichs.


    To Tessa’s surprise, Nichs took her to a hotel. After they entered the hotel room, Nichs had Tessa


    wait for him in the living room while he carried Gregory into the bedroom toy the boy down in bed.


    When Nichs came out, he saw Tessa sitting on the sofa with a frown. Knowing that she had sensed


    something was wrong, he went over to her right away and held her in his arms, confessing, “I had you


    leave this morning because my grandpa came. I don’t want you to be upset by some unkindness in


    front of him, so I had you leave.”


    Tessa looked up at him in surprise. “Your grandpa came?”


    Nichs nodded. “He arrived in Vienna shortly after we got off our flight.”


    Tessa pressed her lips together. Then, she asked somewhat uneasily, “Is your grandpa here because


    of your engagement?”


    Nichs didn’t deny it. “I’ve turned him down, so you don’t have to be worried.”


    Still, when Tessa heard this, a feeling of self-reproach surged inside her. She was happy while she was


    with Nichs, but she had never thought about the situation he was in. She had only met Remus twice,


    but she knew that he was a very domineering old man with a strong desire for control. Nichs must’ve


    been put under tremendous stress by rebelling against that old man. Who knows what he’ll do to force


    us to break up?


    Seeing the look of anxiety and self-reproach on Tessa’s face, Nichs saw through what she was


    thinking at a nce. Tightening his arms around her waist, he advised her in a gentle voice, saying,


    “Don’t think too much about it. In fact, this matter has nothing to do with you.”


    “How could it have nothing to do with me?” Tessa bit her lower lip; the self-reproach on her face was


    obvious at a nce.


    Nichs raised his hand to save Tessa’s lower lip from her teeth. Caressing it gently, he replied, “Even


    if I’m not with you, I have to tell him my position on my own marriage.”
