Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 718

Chapter 718 Nicholas’ Savior

“You’re too kind,” Remus humbly responded although he was proud of his grandson deep down.

Seeing his old friend’s reaction, Horace smiled in embarrassment and said, “Anyway, you must be delighted now because Nicholas is the most outstanding kid among our grandchildren.” He went on to express his envy for Remus and added, “The Sawyer Family is in luck to have someone as exceptional as Nicholas as its descendant.”

Upon hearing his friend’s words, Remus couldn’t agree more with him. After all, the Sawyer Group had been thriving better and better over the recent few years under Nicholas’ leadership, which far exceeded his expectations. When the two older men talked about that, they went on to reminisce about their old times together since they hadn’t met each other in a while.

In the meantime, Nicholas and Wanda silently stood beside the two old men as the lady couldn’t stop peeking at the man bashfully. A few moments later, she finally mustered the courage to make the first move in greeting Nicholas. “Hey, Nicholas. Long time no see.”

However, Nicholas only nodded indifferently without any intention of speaking after a brief pause, much to Wanda’s disappointment. At the same time, Remus witnessed what was going on and thought of something that might help him with his plan. “Nicholas, Mr. Muller and I have some catching up to do, so I’m going to leave Wanda to you.”

When Nicholas heard his grandfather’s response, his face darkened because he knew why Remus left Wanda to him. Although he couldn’t reject his grandfather, he intentionally distanced himself from Wanda by remaining formally courteous all the time. While the duo took a stroll around the banquet hall, Nicholas, who was the center of the focus himself, managed to turn many heads. As soon as the other guests noticed the lady beside him, they all whispered their bewilderment and curiosity in murmurs with each other. “Who’s that lady over there? She doesn’t look familiar at all.”

“Nope, I can’t place her face. Does anybody else know her?”

Nicholas nodded at Gregory and gently told him to greet Wanda. “Why don’t you say hello to Miss Muller?”

“Nice to meet you, Miss Muller.” The boy politely greeted the lady but did nothing else more than that. After doing what he was told, he turned his attention to Nicholas and asked, “I’m bored here, Daddy. Play with me, would you?”

Unwilling to accompany Wanda any longer, Nicholas decided to seize the opportunity to lose her by agreeing to play with his son. Nevertheless, Wanda didn’t feel the same way as she didn’t want to pass up the chance to spend some quality time with Nicholas. Therefore, she suggested that she could accompany the father and son. “Perhaps I could join you and play with Greg.”

Just when Nicholas was about to respond, Gregory’s reluctant voice was heard. “It’s okay. We’re good without you because I only need Daddy. You could play elsewhere instead.” Upon finishing his words, the child looked at his father once again and urged him to play with him. “Hurry up, Daddy. Our little game awaits.”
