Chapter 673 She Has Another Idea
In addition, the feeling of being cared for every second made Nicholas feel as though his heart was filled with honey, drunk with sweetness.
Next to them, Gregory was initially feeling sad, thinking that he would be separated from Tessa, but now that she was going with them, he was overjoyed beyond words.
“This is great! We don’t have to be separated from Miss Tessa!”
His happy face brought a bright smile to Tessa’s face, and she started packing after dinner. That evening, they took a private jet through the night to go back to Xerthania.
On the plane, Tessa kept checking on Nicholas, worried about his condition.
“Does your wound hurt?”
“No, don’t worry.” Then, he held her hand as he gazed into her eyes deeply. “Take a seat and rest for a while. You’ve been busy the whole night.”
Indeed, Tessa was a little tired, and she sat next to him quietly. As for Gregory, he lay on a lounge on the side not long after takeoff and fell asleep soundly with a small blanket over himself.
A few minutes later, sleepiness crept over Tessa, and she started nodding off. Nicholas chuckled, then used his uninjured arm and rested her head on his shoulder so that she could rest comfortably. In the meantime, he leaned back into the chair, closed his eyes, and relaxed.
The stewardess beside them turned down the cabin lights once she noticed that the family of three was resting.
More than ten hours later, the plane landed in Southend, where the local time was 3 p.m at the moment.
Outside the airport, Kieran and Edward were already waiting, and when they saw Nicholas and the others coming out, they quickly greeted them.
A small talk later, Nicholas turned to Tessa and told her his plan. “I’m going with Greg to visit Grandpa at the hospital. Go home and wait for us there.”
“Okay, be careful on the way.” With a smile, she nodded and added to Kieran, “Keep an eye out on your brother. Stop him from doing anything strenuous lest he rips his wound open.”
“Don’t worry, Tessa. My eyes will always be on him,” Kieran acknowledged with a nod.
Gregory also chimed in seriously, “Miss Tessa, I’ll keep a watch on Daddy as well and won’t let him do anything silly.”
He was so adorable that Tessa almost couldn’t take it, and she stroked his dark hair affectionately. “Okay, your daddy will be in your care then,” she said gently.
Just like that, Nicholas brought Gregory to visit Remus at the hospital. As for Tessa, Edward dropped her back at Dynasty Gardens.
On the way, Kieran asked in concern, “Nicholas, how is your wound recovering?”
“I’m fine,” he answered simply but changed his tone and asked, “How’s Grandpa doing?”
“He’s still having heart issues.” Then, he briefly told Nicholas about Remus’ health condition. “His situation is fine now, and he’s in a stabilized condition. Right now, Mom and Dad, as well as… Miss Brenner is watching over him in the ward.”
Upon hearing that Janet was there as well, the look on Nicholas’ face turned a little sullen, but he didn’t say anything. On the other hand, it was Kieran that was bursting with curiosity.
“Nicholas, what’s the situation between you and Miss Brenner?”
Nicholas composedly replied, seeing the gossipy look in his brother’s eyes, “She’s just someone unimportant.”
“But why do I think that she has another idea?”
“That’s her problem, and it’s unrelated to me. It looks like I’ve given you too little work lately. Since you’re so free, I’ll ask Edward to pass a few more projects to you.”
“Nicholas, I was wrong. So, don’t give me any more work to do. If I continue to work so hard, I’ll definitely die before my time,” Kieran begged pitifully.
One should know that since Nicholas went to Yvetlava, many things with the company fell on his shoulders, and he was very miserable!
Beside them, Gregory watched his father bully his uncle and chuckled in joy.
Kieran shot him a sad look and whined, “Greg, you didn’t even help me when you saw your father bullying me. Am I even your real uncle at all?”
“But compared to Daddy, I’m closer to him than you.”
