    Chapter 1417 Daddy’s Home


    Liam looked up at Nichs, and a dark look shed across Nichs'' face before he responded in a calm


    tone. "There''s no rush for that. We can talk about it after you''re done with your work," he said.


    "I understand." Liam assumed that his request had been rejected, so he nodded and turned to leave.


    However, he couldn''t conceal the sadness on his face. Nichs and Edward were left alone in the office


    after that. Since Nichs was reminded of Kieran, he no longer felt like he was in the mood to do work.


    So, he turned to look at Edward. "Do you have any updates on the investigation I told you to run?"


    "We''ve found some stuff." Edward maintained a calm demeanor as he reported the news he had


    received. "We kept an eye on Master Joseph''s men, and we found out that his assistant left the country


    today."


    Nichs scoffed upon hearing Edward''s words. "It seems like he''s finally showing his true colors."


    Nichs'' eyes glinted with a dangerous look in them as he spoke, and Edward let out an icy scoff as


    well. "Well, they probably can''t sit around and do nothing after what happened," Edward replied.


    "That''s good. We need them to take action in order for us to find evidence against them. I want you to


    track their every move. I don''t want any mistakes to be made at a time like this." Nichs shot Edward a


    cold re.


    "I''ve already sent a lot of men over to keep an eye on them, so I''m sure we won''t miss a thing," Edward


    said with a nod. Nichs finally gave a nod of satisfaction after that.


    Nichs was still as busy as ever in the next few days, and the news continued to make more reports on


    Kieran''s situation. Tons of reporters camped outside Sawyer Group in hopes of receiving some breaking


    news, but Nichs simply ignored these people.


    One evening, Nichs headed home to Sawyer Residence after he was done with work. Stefania was


    sitting on the couch with her eyes red and swollen—it was obvious that she had been crying. Tessa


    carried Gordon and Gregory in her arms while sitting beside Stefania. "I know you''re sad, but you need


    to take care of yourself, Mom. You still have Nichs, Gregory, and Gordon here with you," Tessa


    uttered.


    "You need to stay strong, Grandma. We''re here!" Gregory tried his best tofort the woman. However,


    Stefania remained silent, and the atmosphere at home felt especially heavy and gloomy. Tessa and


    Gregory had run out of ways to make Stefania feel better. Gordon, who was only a few months old, was


    the only one who had no idea what was going on. When he realized how silent the room was, he threw


    his stubby hands up as he babbled and cried out loud.


    Tessa came up with an idea then. "Mom, there''ve been a lot of rtives visiting in the past few days, and


    I find it hard to take care of Gregory and Gordon while hosting them. I''m afraid I might need your help to


    take care of the kids," she suggested. It was clear that Tessa had struck one of Stefania''s soft spots at


    the mention of her children.


    Stefania took one nce at Gregory and Gordon before she realized what was going on. This is an


    unexpected situation, but I can''t sit around and be sad all the time. "You''re right. I do have you guys with


    me," Stefania uttered. She then let out a sigh as she tried her best to cheer herself up. She was still


    beset by sorrow. Tessa could tell that Stefania was putting up a front, so Tessa was still especially


    mindful of Stefania''s mood swings and emotions. Tessa tried her best to use Gordon to distract Stefania


    at times.


    Right then, the housekeeper''s voice came from the entrance of the house. "You''re back, Master


    Nichs." Gordon, Tessa, and Stefania all turned to look at the entrance.

    "You''re back, Daddy!" Gregory leaped out of the couch and tottered over to him. Tessa, too, got to her


    feet with Gordon in her arms. After greeting Nichs, the whole family sat around for a chat in the dining


    area. Both Tessa and Stefania were especially concerned about thepany''s condition.


    "The stocks have been really vtile because of Kieran''s situation. How are things looking in the office?


    Did the stocks affect anything?" Both women gazed at Nichs worriedly.


    Nichs didn''t want them to worry, so he simply told them that everything was under control. They


    chatted for a while more before Stefania said that she was tired. She sent the two children to bed, and


    Nichs and Tessa were the only ones left in the living room after that.
