Chapter 763 Not Pleased With Her
Stefania nodded in agreement, and Tobias smiled lovingly upon hearing so.
They might not like Tessa, but they could still bring themselves to like their granddaughter.
While the couple was chatting away, Andrew came over. “Mr. Sawyer, Mrs. Sawyer, Miss Muller has come to visit.”
“Mr. Sawyer, Mrs. Sawyer,” Wanda greeted sweetly by the side.
Seeing so, the couple hurriedly invited Wanda to sit down.
In no time, a servant brought some refreshments over.
“What brings you here today?” Stefania asked.
“Well, I haven’t visited you guys in a while, so I thought I should come by and see how you’re doing.” While speaking, Wanda presented the couple with a gift.
“It’s really sweet of you, dear,” Tobias and Stefania accepted her gift with a smile. “However, there’s no need to get us anything again, okay?”
“Alright.” Wanda nodded, smiling like an innocent, well-behaved school girl.
Following that, the three chatted away.
“How’s your company coming along?” Tobias asked. “Don’t hesitate to ask Kieran for help if you need any.”
“It’s still under renovation, and I believe it’ll be done in about two weeks or so.”
Stefania couldn’t help complimenting her upon hearing so. “You sure are amazing,” she said.
“Actually, I didn’t do much, and my ability is nothing compared to Nicholas and Kieran.” Wanda was a smooth talker, speaking highly of the two.
After all, no mother wouldn’t like to hear other people complimenting their children, and it indeed hit the right note with Stefania—she was most proud of her two outstanding sons.
“Indeed, Nicholas and Kieran rarely make me worry.”
Wanda used the chance to talk about Nicholas upon seeing this, to which Stefania revealed a considerable amount of benign information.
Even so, Wanda thought she had hit the jackpot.
Seeing it was about time, she asked, “Mrs. Sawyer, I heard Nicholas is staying abroad these days. Do you know when he’ll be back?”
It was then Stefania realized Wanda’s true purpose for visiting.
However, before she could say anything, Wanda continued worriedly, “From what I’ve heard, Nicholas went abroad because he fought with Old Master Sawyer. Who knows if it is even true? What’s more, I can’t get hold of Nicholas lately.”
Wanda wasn’t lying about the latter part.
Ever since knowing that Nicholas had gone abroad, she would find time to call him. She never managed to contact him, but little did she know Nicholas deliberately avoided her calls.
Stefania had no clue about that, but she knew what Wanda was trying to tell her. However, she had no plans of telling her what was up with Nicholas lately. “He has something to take care of abroad, and he’ll be stuck there for some time.”
Stefania’s equivocal answer disappointed Wanda, and she had a feeling that Stefania was hiding something from her.
At that, a glimmer flashed across her eyes as she continued to probe while asking, “Is that so? I wonder what it could be. Please let me know if there’s anything I can help with. I should repay the help Nicholas has given me, after all.”
“I’ll let him know of it.” Stefania left the conversation at that and changed the subject. “How are you coping with living in Brentwood?”
The change of subject was so abrupt that it stumped Wanda for a split second, and she nodded. “Yeah, I’m doing just fine. I’ll be more than happy if you can visit me and take a look at my new place.”
She knew Stefania was hinting at her not to talk about Nicholas anymore, and so she cooperatively followed along lest she wanted to give Stefania a bad impression.
After chatting for a while longer, she bid the couple goodbye and left Sawyer Residence.
Right after entering the car, she instantly dropped her smile.
Though the couple welcomed her, they had distanced themselves a little.
Why was that so?
Have I done something lately to displease them? That can’t be the case, for they wouldn’t allow me to approach Nicholas if they’re displeased.
