Chapter 713 Horace and His Granddaughter


    “Exactly. After all, young people simply have to interact with each other more.”


    As more and more people tried to introduce their daughter to Remus, thedies were eventually able to guess what the birthday feast was about. Thus, they all bashfully looked at Nichs and Kieran, although most of the attention was focused on the former.


    After all, they were attracted by the cool and indifferent aura from Nichs, which was somethingcking in Kieran’s approachable and amiable nature. However, Nichs didn’t bother to even look at them despite their interest in him.


    Nevertheless, Kieran was able to sense something wrong because he finally understood what his grandfather was up to. This is not a birthday feast at all. Grandpa is trying to organize a matchmaking session for Nichs instead. At the thought of that, he nervously peeked at his brother, only to notice the calm look on his face. “Nichs, did you already know what Grandpa is up to from the beginning?”


    Nichs looked askance at Kieran without saying a single word, although the look on his face gave him away. Despite his frustration with Remus’ action, Nichs reluctantly apanied his grandfather while greeting the other guests with Kieran. During the break, he found a chance to confront Remus about his ulterior motive behind his birthday feast. “What’s all this about tonight?”


    “It is whatever you think it is,” Remus said with a cold grunt. “If you won’t do it, I’ll do it for you.”C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    While Nichs’ face darkened cially, Kieran quickly sensed the tension between his grandfather and brother. Worried that Nichs might just walk off in a fit of pique, he immediately approached the former and whispered, “Look, you don’t have to take Grandpa’s words so seriously because there is nothing he can do either if you won’t cast an eye on thosedies.”


    “Kieran, what did you say to your brother?” Remus red at Kieran with a stern look on his face.


    In response, Kieran only timidly rubbed his nose and replied, “N-Nothing.”


    Remus then shot a gaze at Kieran while something seemingly crossed his mind. “Your brother will stay with me while you help your parents with the guests. Go now.” Upon hearing the old man’s words, the brothers could sense his determination to find Nichs a woman he could marry, but in order to do that, he needed Kieran out of the way.


    However, Nichs wasn’t having any of it as he red at Remus and showed his stance. “You’re only wasting your time and energy because I won’t change my mind, no matter what you do.”


    At that moment, an old man showed up at the entrance with his granddaughter. It turned out that the guest was Remus’ long-lost friend, Horace Muller, who had been living abroad over the years. His granddaughter was Wanda Muller, Nichs’ schoolmate back in the day.


    While Wanda had returned from overseas to visit her grandfather, they happened to catch Remus’ birthday feast just in time and eventually decided toe for the asion. When the old man walked up to Remus, he apologetically said, “I was a little upied during the day, so I apologized foring thiste.”


    “No worries. I’m still happy that you made it in the end.” Remus gave the older gentleman a pat on the shoulder and sighed. “It’s been a while since west met.” He then shifted his attention to thedy standing beside Horace and smiled amiably at her. “This must be Wanda, I presume. You’ve grown to be a pretty girl since we met years ago.”


    “Happy Birthday, Mr. Sawyer,” Wanda responded to Remus elegantly like a graceful princess.


    “Great. Great,” Remus replied with an affirmative hum, expressing the satisfaction he felt toward Wanda. Gazing at the tenderdy before him, he then turned his attention to his charming grandson, Nichs, whom he thought would be a perfect match with Wanda. “Nichs, why don’t you say hi to Mr. Muller and Wanda?” He tried to urge Nichs.


    “Greetings, Mr. Muller and Miss Muller.” Nichs nodded at the duo.


    In the meantime, Horace sized Nichs up, feeling amazed to see thetter. “Your grandson’s reputation precedes him. After all, I kept hearing people say how Nichs was more outstanding than his seniors were when I was living abroad. Now that I finally meet him in person, it seems to me he is even more charming now than you were back then.”
