That Can Be Arranged

Chapter 184

Chapter 184 The desolate look in Tessa’s eyes made Timothy fall into a silence. In comparison to the Sawyer Group, they were insignificant people at the bottom of the pile who alified to make friends with them or get along well with them. Nonetheless, just because they were at the bottom now didn’t mean that they would be in the future. And so, Timothy swore to himself that from now on, he would work extra hard and run the company well so that sooner or later, his sister would have the confidence to hold her head high no matter who it was standing before her. Timothy smiled, “Tess, don’t be upset. It’s nothing, everything will turn out well. I shall be on my way to the office.” Tessa curled up the corner of her lips. “Alright. Be careful on your way there.” After her brother had left, Tessa, who had some free time, focused her attention on cleaning the house. She cleaned and wiped every nook and cranny of the house. Meanwhile, Gregory was feeling down when they were on their way home. He kept looking behind and

staring at where Tessa’s house was, not withdrawing his gaze until they had left the neighborhood. Nicholas cast a glance at him. “You want to stay there, right? Why didn’t you voice it out earlier?” When they were leaving, it was obvious that Gregory was very reluctant to leave. The way he opened and closed his mouth but said nothing had revealed his thoughts at that moment, so it would be impossible for Nicholas to not notice it. Gregory shook his head. “I can’t. I don’t want to force Miss Tessa. Miss Tessa was hurt, so she must be really sad. Even if I don’t mind that she can’t continue teaching me, she herself must be concerned about it. I don’t want to see her being upset.” Nicholas kept quiet for a moment and changed the topic. “Do you want to go home or follow me to the office?” After last night, the relationship between the father and son had eased a lot. Gregory seemed to have become more mature overnight. Nicholas wasn’t worried that the boy would lock himself in the music

room after they went back, but he still thought he should ask his son’s opinion. “The office,” Gregory replied. When Nicholas arrived at the office of the Sawyer Group, he immediately threw himself into work without wasting a second. His entire morning was spent having meetings, while Gregory quietly stayed in his office and played by himself. The child was in his best behavior even without having anyone to keep him company. When it was almost noon, the door to Nicholas’ office was suddenly pushed open. “Great-Grandpa!” Gregory looked behind and saw Tobias. The boy smiled as he dashed toward the man. He pounced on Tobias’ leg and wrapped his arms around it, nuzzling his face against it affectionately His reaction put a smile on Tobias’ face. “Little guy, why are you here on your own? Where’s your dad?” “Daddy’s having a meeting,” Gregory answered. “Let me see what my sweetheart is doing.” Tobias walked up to the couch where Gregory had been playing “It’s Lego. Great-Grandpa, guess what I’ve built!” With a grin, Gregory raised the Lego up high and brought it near Tobias, showing off his work. “A European-style castle?” After giving it a glance, Tobias could roughly tell from the incomplete structure that it was a classic, complex European castle from the med “Yes, Great-Grandpa! You have guessed it correctly.” A beaming Gregory leaned against the old man. Tobias praised, “That’s a nice piece of work.” As Tobias seldom complimented others, his sudden compliment made Gregory feel embarrassed. And so, the child smiled with pursed lips and blushed face. The old man chatted with Gregory for a while before the latter asked, “Great-Grandpa, why are you here to see Daddy?” Tobias smiled and mysteriously said, “To talk about something.” Just then, the door to the office swung open again. Both Tobias and Gregory looked at the door, only to see a slender figure walking in through the door while the man’s couture leather shoes tapped on the

floor. Upon seeing that it was Nicholas, Gregory hopped off the couch and ran up to him, calling out to him sweetly, “Daddy.” Nicholas ruffled the boy’s hair before looking at the old man before him in surprise. “Grandpa, why are you here? Did something happen?” Ever since the old man had retired, he had seldom come to the office. They would usually report to him at home when there were any issues, so Tobias had never come to the office in person to see him. His sudden appearance gave Nicholas a sense of foreboding.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
