Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 371

Chapter 371 Persuasion

Before she could say anything, Sonia saw through her. She knew Hayley was feeling uneasy, so she calmed her down. “It’s alright. Leave this to us. You stay out of it.”

…

As they cared about the engagement a lot, the Stones went to see Remus early the next morning to talk about the arrangements. They pretended they knew nothing, of course. “Mr. Sawyer, we’ve drafted the list of the guests. When will the invitations arrive? We need to send them out.”

Remus looked at the list of guests on the table, but he didn’t tell the butler to take it.

The Stone couple felt their hearts skipping a beat.

Remus sipped some tea and answered imperiously, “Take the list back. The engagement needs to be delayed.”

The Stone couple was stunned, and their faces fell. Remus noticed that, but he didn’t care. Countless rich ladies would be more than happy to marry Nicholas. If the Stones would give up just like that, he could find another family to work with.

Fortunately, the Stones were smart. They noticed Remus’ displeasure, and they held their emotions down. “Why are we delaying it, Mr. Sawyer? I’ve never heard you mention anything about delaying before.” Sonia didn’t want to give up just like that. She wanted to persuade Remus to go on with it, since nobody knew if anything else would happen during the delay.

Remus frowned in displeasure. He thought Sonia was questioning him, so he said coldly, “If you want the engagement, then get your daughter to get along with Nicholas. It’s been so long, and I’ve helped you so much, but you still can’t make him fall for you. And now you ask me why the engagement is delayed?”

Hayley felt humiliated, and the Stone couple didn’t look too happy either, but they couldn’t voice it out.
