Chapter 226
“Silly, I’m really fine.” Tessa burst out laughing.
Still feeling worried, Timothy said, “Tess, why don’t you go study abroad? At the same time, you can also take a break. You don’t have to worry about inoney. Just do whatever you want. Don’t worry about me. I’m all grown up. Instead, I can protect you.”
Study abroad? It has always been my wish to study abroad. In fact, I had the opportunity when I was in college. However, the plan was put on hold as I had to take care of Tim at that time. I have always regretted letting the opportunity slip away. But now that Tim mentioned it, I’m suddenly hesitating a little. Firstly, Tim’s company has just been established, and he’s extremely busy every day. If I leave, I don’t know how he will torment his body. I’m worried about leaving him alone in Brentwood. Secondly, I’m a little reluctant for some unknown reason.
For a moment, Tessa stayed silent. “This matter isn’t urgent, so I’ll think about it again.”
“Sure. Tess, anytime if you feel like going, just let me know. I’ll arrange everything for you.” Seeing that Tessa was unwilling to go now, Timothy did not force her much. Instead, he catered to her opinion.
“Very well. You’re really successful now. I’ll let you know when I want to go.” Tessa smiled.
“It just so happens that I have completed both my work and assignments for today. Why don’t I watch TV with you for a while?” Timothy suggested.
Recently, Timothy had been busy with his company’s affairs. Moreover, he was also busy handling the cooperative tasks with the Sawyer Group. So, he hardly had time to accompany Tessa.
After thinking about it, I may also be a part of the reasons why Tess has been in a bad mood. After all, she doesn’t have a job for the time being. Inevitably, she’ll be struck with boredom from being left alone at home.
In the meantime, Tessa also knew what her younger brother was thinking. Therefore, she could not help but laugh.
Even so, it was true that the two of them had not chatted much recently. Seeing that Timothy finally took a break for a while, Tessa thought it was also very suffocating for him if he did not have any entertainment to unwind. Hence, she nodded.
After turning on the TV, they saw it was time for entertainment news.

What came in sight was a photo of Nicholas’ side profile, followed by a photo of an unknown woman with a gentle and quiet look. The two photos were shown side-by side.
With a professional smile, the anchor started announcing, “Now, for someone. entertainment news, it was recently reported on the Internet that the relationship between Nicholas Sawyer, the president of the Sawyer Group, and the daughter of the Stones, Hayley Stones, has intensified. The couple is expected to hold a wedding in the near future.”
After Tessa heard the anchor’s words, she was stunned for a while. However, she quickly regained her composure. Then, she turned to look at Timothy. “This sort of entertainment news is quite boring. Is there anything else you want to watch? How about we watch the latest movie?”
In a daze, Timothy nodded and subconsciously said, “Up to you, Tess.”
Timothy was still a little stupefied even after a while. I suppose I didn’t have blurred vision, and my ears also weren’t deaf just now. The news reported that Nicholas and the Stones would be united in marriage. B-But wasn’t he still single a while ago? Moreover, there seems to be a little notion between him and Tess. But why is he off the market in the blink of an eye? Furthermore, he’s reported to be getting married in the near future. Was it all my delusions? Tess’ reaction was too chill when she learned about the news as well. After all, I was also the former owner of this house. Didn’t Greg drop by a few days ago? What happened in between the timeline that I wasn’t aware of?
And thus, Timothy asked cautiously, “Tess, what happened between the two of you?”
“Huh?” Tessa raised her head and looked at Timothy with a confused look on her face.
Once again, Timothy asked, “Don’t you have any opinion about the marriage of convenience between President Sawyer and the Stones?”
However, Tessa smiled indifferently. “What opinion can I have? It has nothing to do with me regarding whoever he marries. Besides, they’re both well-matched in social and economic status. They’re already in the same circle in the first place. The opinion that I express wouldn’t carry any meaning at all, so we’ll just live our separate lives well. Alright, let’s not meddle too much in someone else’s affairs. Didn’t you say you want to watch TV with me? How about this movie?” Tessa picked a movie and turned to ask Timothy.
Since Tessa had said so, Timothy naturally chose to listen to her words unconditionally. So, he nodded. “Okay.”
