Chapter 719 Tessa’s Gift
When Nicholas heard Gregory’s words, he looked down and fixed his gaze upon his son. Meeting the
child’s eyes that were brightening up, he instantly understood that his son was trying to get him out of
the difficult situation. “Gregory is right. Since you’re our guest, you mustn’t be troubled to look after my
kid.” He rejected Wanda euphemistically by intentionally stating the differences between their positions
in the feast.
In the meantime, Wanda’s smile stiffened on her face as she didn’t know what to say with her purse in
her hands. Seeing the father and son walk away, she bit her lip and gently pleaded, “But, what am I
going to do without you by my side? This place is a total stranger to me.”
“Don’t worry, Miss Muller. I’ll get my assistant to show you around the place right away.” As soon as
Nicholas finished his words, he immediately sent for Edward.
Looking handsome, Edward walked up to Nicholas and asked, “How may I be of help, President
Sawyer?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicholas pointed at Wanda and said, “This is Miss Muller. Please show her around the place, would
you?”
“Sure. Miss Muller, this way, please.” Edward nodded and courteously showed Wanda the way, but the
latter stood still unenthusiastically. Instead, she was left behind in disappointment as she watched
Nicholas walk away with Gregory.
On the other hand, the father and son soon found themselves in a place where there was no one else
and sat down, whereupon Gregory struggled to break free from Nicholas’ embrace. As soon as he
stood on his feet, he began to preach to his father with an annoyed look on his face. “You weren’t
behaving yourself, Daddy. You promised Miss Tessa that you wouldn’t let any other woman get close to
you, yet you failed to keep your word. Did you know that you could have been misunderstood if the
others had seen you with that woman? Don’t forget. You still have Miss Tessa, and she would be
heartbroken if she found out about what happened. Fine, I’ll keep an eye on you for Miss Tessa in her
absence.”
While Nicholas was amused by the child’s lecture, Gregory frowned on his father’s smile and
expressed his frustration. “Daddy, I’m being really serious with you, so stop laughing!”
Nicholas burst into laughter once again, but when he noticed the angry look on his son’s face once
again, he quickly faked a cough and kept a straight face. “Alright, I heard you, Boss.”
After the father and son played for a few moments, they returned to the banquet hall just when they
were greeted by Remus, who was irritated by their disappearance. “I told you to keep Wanda company,
but you left her to your assistant instead. What kind of gentleman are you?!”
“You can’t blame this on Daddy, Great-grandpa, because I wanted Daddy to play with me.” Gregory
stood up for his father, playing on Remus’ sympathy by acting coy. Meanwhile, Remus’ heart melted in
front of his adorable grandson as the sour look on his face was instantly replaced by a bright smile.
Later that night, the feast went on as usual, ending with a session in which the Sawyer Family
members and guests presented their gifts to Remus. Soon, Tobias and his wife presented an ancient
painting to Remus as his birthday gift. “We wish you a long life full of happiness.”
“Thank you so much.” Remus smiled happily and told Ian to keep the present. Later on, Nicholas and
Kieran both gave their grandfather a valuable gemstone and a vintage antique, which put a huge smile
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmon Remus’ face, whereupon Ian was told to receive them on his behalf as well. While Nicholas was
supposed to leave the stage with Kieran and make way for the others to present their gifts, he
surprisingly stood still in place.
“Is there anything else, Nicholas?” Remus asked.
Nicholas nodded and produced a sophisticated-looking gift box, which he handed over to Remus. “This
is a present Tessa prepared for you. She knows you have a liking for classic literature, so she bought
you this.”
Although the book caught Remus’ eye when he first laid his eyes on it, he pretended as if he didn’t like
it when he knew the gift was from Tessa. In the meantime, Tobias and his wife also knitted their
eyebrows while everyone else couldn’t help wondering who Tessa was. As the atmosphere in the
banquet hall started to stiffen, Gregory seemingly sensed Remus’ dislike for Tessa’s present and
scurried toward him. “Great-grandpa, I thought classic literature had always been your favorite. So,
what are you waiting for? Hurry up and accept it.”
