Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 940

Chapter 940 Not Going Back Home

However, probably because Tessa had really high standards for this piece, she still hadn’t decided on the composition after pondering for two days.

In the evening, Simon came to check on her progress, to which she scratched her head embarrassingly. “I still haven’t come up with anything,” she said.

“Nothing?” Simon was rather surprised, for knowing Tessa’s ability, coming up with a draft no longer posed a difficulty to her. The hard part was only the tweaking.

“Have you encountered some problems?” He frowned. Tessa didn’t hide it from him either, telling him the struggles she had met in the past two days.

Simon instantly knew she had what was called writer’s block, so he gave her a few pointers. “Think about the mood and imagery you want to convey through this piece.”

Nicholas’ birthday was no minor event as he was the patriarch of the Sawyer Family, after all.

Previously, the Sawyers would hold a grand banquet. However, Nicholas had been staying abroad this entire year, so the Sawyer elders were at a loss for what to do.

On this day, Kieran was forced by his parents to make a call to his brother. “Nick, Mom and Dad wanted me to ask when you’ll be back. Also, your birthday’s coming up. How do you plan on celebrating it?”

“I won’t be going back any time soon. As for my birthday, I’m thinking of celebrating it here in Vienna with Tess and Gregory.”

“Alright, I’m going to tell Mom and Dad you won’t be coming back, then.”

To that, Nicholas hummed a response, and the brothers talked about work for a while before ending the call.

That night, Kieran related the call earlier in the day when he returned to Sawyer Residence for dinner. “Nicholas said he won’t be coming back for his birthday. He’ll be celebrating it with Tessa and Gregory in Vienna.”

Remus’ mood brightened upon hearing so. “That’s more like it.” Despite snorting, there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his lips.

Kieran, on the other hand, chuckled under his breath seeing his grandfather put on airs but very quickly stopped, for he’d die a tragic death if Remus found out he was ridiculing him.

At that, he changed the subject. “Since Nick isn’t coming back, are we going to celebrate it with him in Vienna or scratch it off entirely?”

“Why would you want to go there? Didn’t you just say that he wants to celebrate it with his wife?” Remus refuted, rendering Kieran speechless.

At that, Remus sized the young man up like something had hit him. “Speaking of which, you’re only a few years younger than Nicholas. Shouldn’t you be thinking of your marriage now when your brother already has two children?”

The urge for him to get married came so suddenly that Kieran was rendered stumped.
