“Are you sure you can help?” Tessa gave Kieran a doubtful look, finding her brother-in-law somewhat unreliable because it seemed to her that he only wanted to be involved for fun..
In the meantime, Kieran could tell from Tessa’s eyes how she felt about him. Thus, he stood straight and tried to explain for himself. “Don’t underestimate me, Tessa.
I may not be as capable as Nicholas, but I’m sure I’m better than he is when it comes to relationships. Furthermore, even if I can’t be of help in the end, I still have a bunch of friends who could help. They’re all experts in stealing girls’ hearts.”
Tessa was tempted by Kieran’s last few words to accept his help upon hearing his reply. After all, she was worried that Timothy’s simple- mindedness would keep him away from any ladies who could be interested in him. Therefore, she decided to get down to business with Kieran and started discussing her plan with him.
“I’m going to take advantage of Timothy’s birthday celebration by creating an opportunity for him to embrace his feelings and do something about it. What do you have in mind?”
“Easy. I’ll get a few of my friends to join the party and make him confess to his crush there and then. There is no way it won’t work even for a nerd like Tim, considering the thrill and excitement at that time.” Kieran immediately suggested his idea to Tessa.
“Are you sure this will work?” Tessa expressed her doubt about Kieran’s suggestion. “It will. I assure you, Tessa. Trust me.” Kieran patted his chest confidently.
Tessa skeptically looked at Kieran, somehow feeling worried about his plan, as she feared he would take it too far and end up backfiring. When Nicholas returned later and learned about Kieran’s plan, he hugged Tessa and said with a smile, “Let Kieran take care of that. If he ruins it, I’ll teach him a lesson for you.”
After hearing Nicholas’ assurance, Tessa decided to go along with Kieran and let him handle the matter. However, she reckoned she needed to give Sabrina a heads-up to prevent any unforeseen awkward situations.
