Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 360

Chapter 360 Family

A smile curled his lips, and he praised, “You have courage. Keep it up.”

“I am not kidding.” Timothy frowned.

“I did not say you were,” Nicholas answered, and his smile disappeared. “I just wish that if the day comes where I can’t keep her safe anymore, you’ll take my place and protect her. But I don’t think you’ll have that chance.”

“I won’t be too sure about that.” Timothy felt a little convinced, but for the most part, he didn’t believe Nicholas.

Nicholas could tell what he was thinking, of course. “Just like your sister, I too am loyal to a relationship.”

Timothy looked at him for a while, trying to see if he was lying. A long while later, he begrudgingly acknowledged Nicholas. “You had better be.” He snorted.

“I am loyal,” Nicholas answered confidently.

Timothy shut up.

The conversation ended, and Edward gave Timothy an impressed look. That’s the second time someone took that attitude with Mr. Sawyer. Ms. Reinhart is the first. I guess they are a family. They’re brave.

They heard Gregory’s happy laugh coming closer, and Tessa came in with the boy. She noticed the tension between her brother and Nicholas, and she asked, “What were you guys talking about?”

Timothy gave Nicholas a glance. “Nothing. Just talking about the development of the GPS with your husband.”

Tessa choked on herself in surprise. “My husband?” She stared at her brother in shock, then she turned her attention to Nicholas. What on earth did you two talk about while I was gone?

“Did I say something wrong? Did you two, you know…” Timothy feigned ignorance and looked at Tessa.
