“Are you sure you can help?” Tessa gave Kieran a doubtful look, finding her brother-in-law somewhat unreliable because it seemed to her that he only wanted to be involved for fun..
In the meantime, Kieran could tell from Tessa’s eyes how she felt about him. Thus, he stood straight and tried to explain for himself. “Don’t underestimate me, Tessa.
I may not be as capable as Nicholas, but I’m sure I’m better than he is when it comes to relationships. Furthermore, even if I can’t be of help in the end, I still have a bunch of friends who could help. They’re all experts in stealing girls’ hearts.”
Tessa was tempted by Kieran’s last few words to accept his help upon hearing his reply. After all, she was worried that Timothy’s simple- mindedness would keep him away from any ladies who could be interested in him. Therefore, she decided to get down to business with Kieran and started discussing her plan with him.
“I’m going to take advantage of Timothy’s birthday celebration by creating an opportunity for him to embrace his feelings and do something about it. What do you have in mind?”
“Easy. I’ll get a few of my friends to join the party and make him confess to his crush there and then. There is no way it won’t work even for a nerd like Tim, considering the thrill and excitement at that time.” Kieran immediately suggested his idea to Tessa.
“Are you sure this will work?” Tessa expressed her doubt about Kieran’s suggestion. “It will. I assure you, Tessa. Trust me.” Kieran patted his chest confidently.
Tessa skeptically looked at Kieran, somehow feeling worried about his plan, as she feared he would take it too far and end up backfiring. When Nicholas returned later and learned about Kieran’s plan, he hugged Tessa and said with a smile, “Let Kieran take care of that. If he ruins it, I’ll teach him a lesson for you.”
After hearing Nicholas’ assurance, Tessa decided to go along with Kieran and let him handle the matter. However, she reckoned she needed to give Sabrina a heads-up to prevent any unforeseen awkward situations.
The next morning, Tessa gave Sabrina a call and invited her to visit after having her breakfast. Not long after that, Sabrina arrived, smiling brightly at Tessa as she entered the living room with her purse in her hand. “Hi, Tess.”
“Please come in and have a seat.” Tessa greeted her guest with hospitality. After the maid served them tea and a fruit platter, Sabrina took a sip of her cup of tea and asked, “Why did you want to see me, Tess?”
“There is something I’d like to discuss with you! Tessa went on to tell Sabrina about the plan she had made with Kieran. “I know about your feelings for Tim, but I also understand it can be a little hard for him to pick up your hints sometimes. So, I became a little worried as I noticed the tension between both of you, which is why I’m hoping to create an opportunity through this occasion.”
Sabrina was stunned yet tempted to agree with Tessa’s plan. “Thanks for planning it out for me, Tess. But honestly, I don’t know if he is into me at all. That’s the reason why we’ve sounded each other out, I guess. What if the plan fails?” She nervously gazed at Tessa.
Tessa comforted Sabrina with a smile and said, “Don’t worry. I raised Tim up, and I believe I know my little brother well.” “So…” Sabrina’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
“That’s right. He feels the same way for you as much as you do for him. It’s just that he hasn’t realized that himself, Tessa replied with a smile on her face.
Upon hearing Tessa’s affirmative answer, Sabrina could no longer hide her excitement. The next second, she immediately expressed her agreement and exhilaration about the plan. “Oh my god! That’s so kind of you, Tess!” She happily gave Tessa a hug.
“Take good care of Timothy because I’m entrusting you with the rest of his life.” Tessa smiled gently and gave Sabrina a hug as the latter nodded rapidly. After that, Tessa returned to her everyday life as a mother and a housewife while preparing for her brother’s birthday celebration.
On the other hand, Timothy later learned that his sister, Tessa, had been busy preparing his birthday celebration and decided to swing by Dynasty Gardens for a visit.
“What brings you here? Have you eaten? Let me make a little something for you.” Tessa was happy at the sight of Timothy’s arrival.
