Perhaps because Timothy didn't expect to become the main star of the subsequent discussion, he was momentarily startled.

"That's long. So, does that mean I won't get to see you for a long time?" Kieran asked, feeling somewhat reluctant.

Timothy chortled at him. "It's not a big deal, though. I can still visit you during the holidays. Besides, we can chat through video calls during normal days too. The only difference will be we can't have a drink together anymore."

Kieran nodded begrudgingly.

"I don't always encounter someone like the two of you, who can still make progress and carve out a niche in your respective fields even after your Dad abandoned you. I have to say—you two are pretty impressive," he commented as he cast the Reinhart siblings a doting look.

Tessa was overwhelmed with gratitude, for this was the first time she heard Remus praise her.
