Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 1417

Chapter 1417 Daddy’s Home

Liam looked up at Nicholas, and a dark look flashed across Nicholas' face before he responded in a calm tone. "There's no rush for that. We can talk about it after you're done with your work," he said.

"I understand." Liam assumed that his request had been rejected, so he nodded and turned to leave. However, he couldn't conceal the sadness on his face. Nicholas and Edward were left alone in the office after that. Since Nicholas was reminded of Kieran, he no longer felt like he was in the mood to do work. So, he turned to look at Edward. "Do you have any updates on the investigation I told you to run?"

"We've found some stuff." Edward maintained a calm demeanor as he reported the news he had received. "We kept an eye on Master Joseph's men, and we found out that his assistant left the country today."

Nicholas scoffed upon hearing Edward's words. "It seems like he's finally showing his true colors." Nicholas' eyes glinted with a dangerous look in them as he spoke, and Edward let out an icy scoff as well. "Well, they probably can't sit around and do nothing after what happened," Edward replied.

"That's good. We need them to take action in order for us to find evidence against them. I want you to track their every move. I don't want any mistakes to be made at a time like this." Nicholas shot Edward a cold glare.

"I've already sent a lot of men over to keep an eye on them, so I'm sure we won't miss a thing," Edward said with a nod. Nicholas finally gave a nod of satisfaction after that.

Nicholas was still as busy as ever in the next few days, and the news continued to make more reports on Kieran's situation. Tons of reporters camped outside Sawyer Group in hopes of receiving some breaking news, but Nicholas simply ignored these people.

One evening, Nicholas headed home to Sawyer Residence after he was done with work. Stefania was sitting on the couch with her eyes red and swollen—it was obvious that she had been crying. Tessa carried Gordon and Gregory in her arms while sitting beside Stefania. "I know you're sad, but you need to take care of yourself, Mom. You still have Nicholas, Gregory, and Gordon here with you," Tessa uttered.

"You need to stay strong, Grandma. We're here!" Gregory tried his best to comfort the woman. However, Stefania remained silent, and the atmosphere at home felt especially heavy and gloomy. Tessa and Gregory had run out of ways to make Stefania feel better. Gordon, who was only a few months old, was the only one who had no idea what was going on. When he realized how silent the room was, he threw his stubby hands up as he babbled and cried out loud.

Tessa came up with an idea then. "Mom, there've been a lot of relatives visiting in the past few days, and I find it hard to take care of Gregory and Gordon while hosting them. I'm afraid I might need your help to take care of the kids," she suggested. It was clear that Tessa had struck one of Stefania's soft spots at the mention of her children.
