Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 811

Chapter 811 A Fortunate Misfortune

Amused, Remus then laughed happily.

On the other hand, Nicholas was still working at the company at this hour.

He had completely forgotten about this until Edward knocked on the door and stated, “President Sawyer, it’s almost 9.00PM now. Miss Muller’s event has already started.”

Frowning, Nicholas recalled there seemed to be such an event…

“Okay.” Even though he said that, he did not show any signs of leaving.

Obviously, he was stalling for time.

Edward, who noticed this, did not say anything further and left the office.

An hour passed by just like that…

After taking care of all his work, Nicholas was just about to leave when his phone rang, showing the caller to be from home.

“What’s wrong?”

“Master Nicholas, Young Master Gregory has fallen sick.”

Andrew’s words darkened Nicholas’ expression.

“Okay. I’m coming back right now.”

Hanging up, he grabbed his keys and left straight away.

Back at the event…

After waiting all night long for Nicholas’ appearance, Wanda’s smile slowly froze up as she realized he might not be coming.

Seeing this, Remus said, “Perhaps something came up at the company. Why don’t you give him a call?”

Naturally, she was happy to oblige. She then took her phone out and called him. It was but a beep when the call immediately connected.

“Are you still busy, Nicholas? The event’s started already. When are you coming over?” Wanda asked expectantly, yet the person who picked up the call was not the man she wished to hear from.

Using a polite tone, Edward replied, “I do apologize, Miss Muller. Our Young Master has a fever, so the president won’t be able to attend your event.” With that, he hung up the phone.

He was greeted by the sight of his angry father after heading downstairs, yet he still asked the obvious question, “Why are you here?”

“You tell me. I specifically wanted you to attend Wanda’s event. Why didn’t you?” Remus lectured Nicholas as soon as he saw him.

With a cold expression, Nicholas explained, “Gregory fell sick. I was taking care of him at home.”

“Don’t you use Gregory as an excuse. You think I don’t know anything about him?” Remus did not believe Nicholas one bit.

As such, Nicholas became cold too as he replied harshly, “Why do you think I need to lie about a matter like this?”

Hearing this, Remus started to doubt himself.

On the other hand, Andrew understood what was happening and quickly spoke up for Nicholas, “Old Master Sawyer, Master Nicholas isn’t lying. Young Master Gregory indeed has a fever. Please don’t blame Master Nicholas for this.”

Stunned, Remus could not hide his concern. “What happened? He was fine all along. Why did he fall sick?”

“The doctors said that he might have caught a cold.”

“Isn’t the heater on? How did Gregory still catch a cold? How have you all been taking care of the child?” Remus scolded them angrily.
