    Chapter 1416 Master Kieran’s Funeral


    Nichs let out an icy scoff. It took Edward a few moments to finally understand what Nichs meant,


    and Edward''s face fell after that. "Are you saying that they…"


    "Well, aside from Adam and Joseph, is there anyone else who really wants me dead?" Nichs asked in


    response.


    Edward came up with an idea that sounded logical then. "I''ll send people over to keep an eye on them!"


    "It''s one thing to keep an eye on them, but you should also get people to search for evidence against


    them. Since they''re the ones who chose not to live a peaceful life, we should make sure that things turn


    into chaos for them!" Nichs'' eyes glinted with hatred as he spoke. After that, Edward nodded and went


    off to work.


    Nichs ended workte that night, so everyone was fast asleep by the time he returned to Sawyer


    Residence. Tessa was the only one who was still awake—she was sitting in bed and flipping through a


    book while she waited for Nichs to get back. She immediately lowered her book and walked over to


    him when she saw him entering the room. "You''re back," she uttered gently while reaching out to take his


    coat from him.


    He nodded. "How was Mom and Dad''s mood earlier today? Did the rtives cause any trouble?" he


    asked.


    "Mom and Dad were okay, but I think they''re still struggling to ept things with Kieran. The rtives


    didn''t do or say much." Tessa gave him a brief summary of what happened at home earlier.


    When Nichs realized how upied his wife had been and how she had tried to handle every single


    thing in the household for the past few days, he felt a surge of gratitude for her. "Thank you for doing so


    much in the past few days," he said. "It''s my duty, and it''s not tiring for me at all. You''re the one who must


    be tired…" Tessa hugged the man from behind. "You might not have expressed it in thest few days,


    but I can tell that you''re really troubled after all that happened," she uttered.


    Tessa''s voice seemed to crack a little as she tightened her hug around the man. "It''s just us now. If


    you''re really sad or hurt, and if you want to let it out, you can do it now. It hurts me to see you trying to


    suppress everything," she uttered. Nichs pressed his lips together after sensing how much his wife


    cared for him. "I''m fine. Don''t worry," he replied in a deep and thick voice as he patted the back of her


    hand.


    Upon hearing his words, Tessa assumed that Nichs simply wanted to hide his weak and vulnerable


    side in front of her, so she let out a sigh before rubbing her face against his back. "How could such a


    thing happen? Kieran didn''t even start his own family yet… How could he leave before his parents? I can


    imagine how Mom and Dad feel," Tessa muttered.


    "Don''t worry. Kieran''s going to be fine. There''s still a chance," Nichs uttered. However, there was a


    dark look in his gaze that made him seem rather uncertain. Tessa didn''t think too much about this matter


    —she simply assumed that Nichs, like his parents, found it too hard to ept the truth of Kieran''s


    matter. Nichs didn''t know what Tessa thought of him.


    He pulled Tessa into his arms before lowering his head to give her a kiss on the forehead. "I''ll need you


    to talk to Mom and Dad. I don''t want them to worry too much about this," he said.


    Tessa nodded to show that she would do as he said. That night, they cuddled and fell asleep together.


    The next day, Nichs left for work early in the morning. Edward knocked on his door just moments after


    he arrived at his office. There was a tall man who followed closely behind Edward.


    The tall man was Kieran''s assistant, Liam Greenberg. He had some documents in his hands, and he


    wore a stern look on his face as he walked into the room. "I''m here to take over Master Kieran''s job,


    President Sawyer," Liam exined.


    "Alright. Which ones are urgent?" Nichs nodded before ordering Liam to give him a general


    exnation of the situation. Liam quickly held out the documents in his arms. "I''ve used a red sticker to


    highlight the files that are urgent, and I''ve written some notes on the other files that require your


    attention," Liam said.


    "I got it. I''ll go through them as soon as possible." Nichs pulled out the papers that had red stickers on


    them while Edward went through and sorted out the rest of the files. It took them a few minutes to hand


    over the necessary matters before Nichs sent Liam out. "You can go back to work," Nichs uttered.


    However, Liam stood in his spot with a hesitant look on his face. "Is anything the matter?" Edward asked


    when he saw Liam standing still.


    "Well, President Sawyer, I was wondering when Master Kieran''s funeral will happen. Can I go there to


    help out?" Liam asked.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
