Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1429

Chapter 1429 Will You Return to Group Two?

Adam narrowed his eyes as they took on a dangerous glint, as he decided to strike back. "Since they have already played their hand, there's no need for us to show them any mercy, either."

Unbeknownst to them, their every move was within Nicholas' calculations.

When Edward was informed that Zachary and the others had visited the police station once more, he immediately went to knock on Nicholas' office door. "President Sawyer, it seems like Zachary and the others already found out that Master Kieran is still alive and departed for the police station again."

"I got it. Continue to keep an eye on them and let me know once they make their move," Nicholas instructed firmly, to which Edward nodded.

That night, after Nicholas returned home, he had dinner together with his family and then took a stroll with them in the garden. While Gregory trotted around in the front, he and Tessa walked behind hand-in-hand, chatting casually until the conversation somehow led to the topic of Zachary and the others.

"I heard from mom that Uncle Zachary and the others went to look for Grandpa today and made him furious. So, I think I'll bring Greg and Gordon to his place tomorrow to spend some time with him and take his mind off things."

Nicholas contemplated her suggestion before shaking his head and turning down her idea, saying, "The next few days are a critical period. It's better if you don't go out with the kids because I'm worried that they will set their sights on you and the kids. Inform Timothy to watch out as well."

However, the next couple of days passed by peacefully. Nevertheless, Nicholas didn't let his guard down.

Early in the morning, after he arrived in his office, he called Edward in and asked, "Were Zachary and the others up to anything for the past two days?"

"Well, we didn't notice anything unusual about them yet," Edward answered promptly.

Nicholas furrowed his brows as he reckoned that this was just a pretense for them to relax their guard. Hence, he instructed, "Continue to keep an eye on these people. They're not the type that will go down without a struggle."

"Yes, sir." Edward nodded and left.

In the meantime, Tessa was in the living room, playing with Gordon, until her phone started ringing. It was a call from Sofia, and she first asked about Tessa's health before proceeding to her main point.

"Would you be interested in being a special guest performer for Group Two?"

"Will Group Two be performing again?" Tessa asked, surprised.

Sofia chuckled. "Yes, they've been practicing for a year. It's about time to introduce them to the world."

Although Sofia's tone seemed light and unbothered, Tessa could hear that this comeback performance was very important to her.

Before she could give her an answer, she heard Sofia piping up once more, "By the way, there's another reason why I'm asking about your return. I would like to hand Group Two over to you for you to manage. If you can return for the special performance, you can use this chance to get to know the other members in advance."

"Me? Manage Group Two?" Tessa gasped in surprise, dazedly repeating Sofia's words.

"That's right," she affirmed resolutely. "You're doing very well in your career now as you already have fame and your own compositions. Regardless, if you would like to progress further, solo development is no match for team achievement. Therefore, my initial plan for you was not to develop solo as well."

"I understand what you mean, but I've never learned management…"

Sofia understood her worries as she rushed to reassure Tessa, "That's not a problem. Alice will be there to help you out then. Moreover, you have to take the first step in order to truly gain any experience."

Sofia's remarks diminished Tessa's worries and tempted her to give it a try because, at the end of the day, she had the ambition to back up her talents. Even so, she didn't give her word to Sofia right away.

"I have to discuss this with my husband first."

"Sure, let me know your answer after your discussion." Sofia could understand her situation. So, she gave her some other general advice before hanging up.

That night, Nicholas found Tessa still wide awake and waiting for him in the bedroom when he returned home. The coldness he had been exuding throughout the day during work dissipated at the sight.

"Didn't I tell you to go to bed early and not wait up?"

"But I want to wait for you."

She flashed him a sweet smile and got out of bed to help him undress.

After he took a quick shower, he joined her in bed but was far from tired. So, he pressed a kiss on the forehead of the woman in his embrace and asked in concern, "Were the kids good today?"

"Yes, they were. Greg even helped me to look after Gordon."
