Always Been Yours

This was his first gift from Tessa, and he must

keep it very well.

Nicholas met Greggory’s eyes, which were filled with

anticipation, and he couldn’t bear to turn him down at all. “Of

course, and you know the password. Place it inside yourself.”

“You’re the best, Daddy!” Gregory cheered and trotted to

the second floor with the music box in his hands.

Standing next to Nicholas, Kieran watched the father and son

duo, and his lips twitched. “Nicholas, I remember that your

safety box is the most advanced model globally. Isn’t it a shame

to use it to keep a regular music box?”

“That’s alright, as long as it makes

Greg happy.”

Nicholas’s tone was filled with so much adoration that Kieran

couldn’t refute, and he gawked at his brother speechlessly. But then,

he realized that Nicholas’ face, which was constantly emotionless in the

past, now had a faint trace of a smile. He seems like a changed man

after coming back to the country, Kieran observed silently. His entire

being stinks like… a man in love.

Kieran was stunned at his train of thought. Thus, he couldn’t

help but ask tentatively, “Nicholas, are you and Tessa… dating?”

“Yes, we’re seeing each other now.” Nicholas admitted with a

nod and added, “Don’t tell this to anyone else because our

relationship is a secret for now. I don’t want anyone from our family to

cause her any trouble.”

“I got it.”

As he saw the seriousness on Nicholas’ face, he knew that

Nicholas had fallen hard for Tessa, but he thought it was fine this

way since Gregory liked her very much. Of course, the more

important thing was that he finally didn’t have to face his fearsome

and terrifying brother every day.

After that, they spoke about what had happened in the company

for the past couple of days until Kieran urged, “Nicholas, you just

landed after more than ten hours of flight. So take a rest now and

only come to the company tomorrow.”

Nicholas nodded in agreement and was about to go upstairs when he

received a call from Remus.

“Grandpa, what is

it?”

“Tonight, bring Greg to my place

for dinner.”

Nicholas frowned and declined as he didn’t feel like going. “I’ll

be busy tonight-”

“Is there anything more important than having dinner with

me? You have to come with Greg tonight!”

As though he was worried that Nicholas would turn him down

again, Remus hung up directly after saying his piece.

When Kieran saw Nicholas putting the phone away with a frown, he

asked in curiosity, “Nicholas, what did Grandpa say in the

call?”

“He wants me to bring Greg back for dinner tonight,” he

exasperatedly answered, rubbing the spot between his brows.

At this, Kieran suddenly thought of something, and he

chuckled sheepishly. “I think Grandpa definitely wants to speak

with you about your marriage this time, Nicholas.”

Nicholas cast him a death stare as he heard how gleeful

Kieran sounded. “Are you pleased by this?”

Kieran’s sense of self-preservation kicked in the next

second after being startled by his terrifying gaze. “No… Not at

all.”

Nicholas snorted, then said, “Tonight, go to Grandpa’s

place in my stead, and I’ll increase your annual leave from one

month to two months.”

For a few seconds, Kieran was dumbstruck, then he slapped

his thigh in joy and shouted, “You better mean it, Nicholas!”

Nicholas glanced at the excited Kieran calmly. “Don’t worry. I don’t

break my promises.” After saying that, he ignored Kieran,

turned around, and went upstairs.

In the living room, Kieran was overjoyed after hearing his

brother’s promise. With just one dinner, he could exchange it for a

month of annual leave. There could be no better deal than this, and he

hoped that more of such good deals would happen in the future.

On the same night at the Sawyer’s Residence, Kieran saw

that besides his own parents

and Remus, Hayley and her parents were there

as well.

He slightly raised his brows and secretly sighed, relieved that

Nicholas didn’t come, or else he would be pushed into marriage by

these people.

“Everyone, I’m home,” he greeted, but Hayley and the others didn’t

take their seats.

When Remus saw that it was Kieran who had arrived, he knitted his

brows together and grunted unhappily, “Kieran, why are you back alone?

Where’s your brother?”

“Grandpa, Nicholas is busy. Just a couple of days ago, he was away

on a business trip, and many things were piled up in the company

awaiting his decision. In addition, he has another international

conference in the evening, so he asked me to come and have dinner with

you.”
