Thinking about how she would part ways with Timothy next month left Sabrina feeling sad. Timothy also guessed what she was thinking and nodded in agreement.
The two of them walked hand in hand under the moonlight. Their shadows were stretched by the dim streetlights creating an indescribable atmosphere.
During their walk, they didn’t bring up the topic of parting. Instead, they chatted about various topics. She felt very happy. Timothy looked at her beaming smile and felt happy as well.
When they returned to Sabrina’s house, both of them still didn’t want to say goodbye. Just then, Timothy took out a delicate gift box from his pocket and said, “This is for you.”
“What is it?” Sabrina curiously opened the box, discovering a beautifully crafted bracelet with small diamonds embedded all around it.
She heard his deep and pleasant voice in her ear. “This is a proximity bracelet I designed. If you miss me, just touch it, and I’ll feel it.” He then taught Sabrina how to use it.
After touching the bracelet, Timothy’s phone received a message which made Sabrina elated. Timothy held her hand again and comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’ll finish my studies as soon as possible and come back to you.”
Although it wasn’t time to part yet, he was already starting to feel sad. Sabrina smiled and stood on tiptoe to plant a kiss on his face. “I’m not that sentimental, and you’re just going to study, not do anything dangerous.
Besides, with technology being so advanced now, if I miss you, I’ll just take a plane to see you when I have time. We can also video call each other during our free time. You don’t have to worry about me. Just focus on your studies. This is your long-awaited study plan, after all.”
“Thank you for being so supportive and understanding.” Timothy felt touched and hugged Sabrina before he kissed her deeply. Sabrina didn’t refuse and responded to his kiss passionately.
In the following days, Tessa resumed her usual routine of taking care of their children at home and doing rehabilitation exercises.
Compared to her leisurely life, Nicholas was swamped. As the year-end approached, various companies were busy with reporting, and other members of the Sawyer Family also came to the headquarters to report their performance.
Additionally, he had accompanied Tessa on a trip abroad, which delayed many things that he needed to handle personally. All of these factors kept him extremely busy.
He entered his office as usual. However, not long after he arrived, Kieran hurriedly walked in. “Nicholas, I just received news that there will be a shareholders’ meeting in an hour. What do you think?”
“What is there to think about?” Nicholas asked without even looking up. Seeing Nicholas’ indifferent attitude, Kieran became anxious. “Nicholas, I don’t think this shareholders’ meeting will go smoothly.”
He then recounted how he had been mistreated by the shareholders during this period. “Those old folks take advantage of their age and have been interfering with the company’s projects.
And when you left with Tessa earlier, they gave me a hard time, making it clear that I wasn’t in charge and had no right to give orders. They also said a lot of bad things about you. I think they will target you at this shareholders’ meeting.”
As he spoke, Kieran became increasingly worried. Meanwhile, Nicholas still kept his head down while being engrossed in his work. He felt exhausted.
Kieran snatched the documents from Nicholas. hands in a rare bold move. “Nicholas, are you. even listening to me?”
“Give it back.” Nicholas ignored his foolish younger brother and coldly demanded that he returned the documents. Kieran was afraid to act recklessly and returned the documents, but he still felt dissatisfied. “Nicholas, aren’t you worried at all?”
“Is worrying useful? Even if they come again, what can they do? They will just repeat the same few words. Competency determines the right to speak.”
