Chapter 942 An Excuse to See Nicholas
However, Nicholas loved Tessa, so there was nothing Remus could do either. “So be it.” He snorted. “Whatever he does is his problem.”
Meanwhile, Wanda rejoiced at the sight of Remus blowing a fuse. Only would she have a chance at having Nicholas to herself when the elder was super displeased at Tessa.
At that, she feigned virtue and soothed, “No need to get upset, Old Master Sawyer. Just because Nicholas isn’t coming back, it doesn’t mean you guys can’t go to him.”
“Forget about that. That boy will probably only grumble about us disturbing him,” Remus complained. Wanda, on the other hand, felt absolutely terrible as Nicholas clearly only wanted to be alone with Tessa.
For a moment, she was uber-jealous of Tessa. She honestly couldn’t figure out what powers that woman had that could have Nicholas so infatuated with her he could forgo his family and company.
You want time to yourselves? Dream on!
While malice brewed within her, she looked absolutely benign on the surface.
“That’s fine,” she soothed and continued, “I happen to have a business meeting in Vienna in a few days. If you have any presents, I can deliver them to Nicholas for you.”
“That would be nice. Thank you.”
Remus didn’t turn her down. As much as he was complaining and despising Nicholas on the surface, he still missed his grandson. At that, he had Ian bring the gift over.
Wanda rejoiced as she took the gift from Ian, for she finally had a valid reason to see Nicholas now!
Of course, Tessa knew none of that.
She was nuzzling in her beloved husband’s arms at night, discussing his birthday plans.
“Won’t your parents be upset that you’re not going back?”
As happy as she was that Nicholas chose to stay and celebrate his birthday with her, she was still worried that the Sawyer elders would be displeased with her because of this.
Nicholas knew her thoughts the second he glanced at her with a lowered head, and he chuckled. “They won’t. Don’t overthink things.”
