Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1131

Chapter 1131 No Need for Apologies

Nicholas merely gave voice to the truth nestled in the minds of both the grandfather and grandchild. There was even a touch of sarcasm in his tone.

Wanda and Horace looked sullen as if they were children caught in a lie. Standing at the side, Kieran was relieved.

He matched his brother’s mockery with a twinkle in his eye. “Speaking of which, I must thank Miss Muller for her preferential treatment. Even though she ordered my kidnapping, she made sure to remind the thugs she hired not to hurt me. Thank you so much.”

His voice dripped with sarcasm.

Wanda’s eyes flushed red with embarrassment.

An ashamed Horace stuttered, “Wanda, h-hurry up and apologize to Master Kieran!”

As reluctant as she was to admit to any wrongdoing, she had no choice but to obey. “I’m sorry, Master Kieran.”

Kieran accepted her apology graciously.

After all, this was what Wanda owed him.

However, he wasn’t about to let Wanda get off so easily. So, he quipped, “It’s too bad that my poor sister-in-law and unborn nephew can’t be here today. They have suffered so much more compared to me.”

Horace interjected, “You’re right, Master Kieran. I’ll bring this worthless granddaughter of mine to apologize to them personally tomorrow.”

He wasn’t a simpleton. In his heart, he was aware that Kieran was fighting for justice on Tessa’s behalf, so he simply took the initiative to make amends.

Horace also believed that the Sawyers wouldn’t let him, the family elder, be the one to apologize to Tessa.

So, he was right in this regard. Nicholas wouldn’t have accepted his apology.

Yet, the reason for his refusal wasn’t what Horace had thought.

He merely didn’t want unrelated people to affect Tessa’s fragile emotional state.

Besides, even if Wanda apologized, she most probably wasn’t sincere, which was why Nicholas saw no reason to waste Tessa’s time any further.

“There’s no need for apologies. As I knew you and my grandfather were close, I called you here to tell you what we’ve discovered. There’s no need to apologize. What’s done is done. Besides…” Nicholas paused for the dramatic effect before he delivered a cutting remark. “It’s a bit too late to start disciplining your granddaughter now. It doesn’t matter. I’ll overlook her crimes this time. However, should this happen again, I won’t mind helping you deal with her personally.”
