Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 169 Besides, Nicholas’ actions were rather strange too. There were so many other professional musicians to

choose from but somehow, he adhered to Gregory’s wishes and chose someone like her without too

many credentials. Has he started to suspect something?

Then, Andrew noticed that Remus’ expression was quite solemn so he asked in a soft voice, “Sir, what

should we do now?”

Meanwhile, Remus paused to think before responding, “You should start making some preparations and

select a few young ladies from reputable families. Make sure that they come from good backgrounds and

have exceptional personalities. Let’s find a match for him and get his marriage

sorted first.”

As soon as Andrew heard that, he asked, “Sir, didn’t Mrs. Sawyer previously arrange for that? She

picked Miss Roselle Gingham from the Gingham family. Isn’t she a suitable candidate?”

Remus snorted coldly. “That girl from the Gingham Family? No, she’s not suitable. That girl doesn’t have

pure intentions. Although she’s a worthy match for our family, she’s quite good at putting up pretenses. In

fact, she dislikes Gregory, so she’s not a good candidate.”

He added in a low voice, “Actually, I don’t mind about anything else except for one single request. The

person must be truly fond of Gregory and treat him well. Other than that, I can temporarily overlook the

rest.”

Remus was someone excellent at judging a person from their character, so he could tell with just a single

glance what the other party was thinking. Roselle and her mother, Yana, were no match for him yet.

Although they pretended to be gentle and caring in front of him, and had lovingly fawned after Gregory,

he had actually seen through their facade.

Previously, the incident with Gregory being poisoned was also the despicable plot of this mother

daughter duo. They had done that to approach Nicholas. In the end, the conclusion was that while

Roselle was innocent and Yana had taken all of the blame, Remus didn’t believe it.

“Okay, I’ll make arrangements right away.” Andrew hastily nodded his head.

Andrew had been working for Remus for so many years, so he naturally knew that Remus had an

excellent judgment of a person’s character. The people whom he disapproved of all ended up being

worthless ones, so no matter how sincere they acted, their true selves would be revealed in the end as

well.

Meanwhile, at Dynasty Gardens, Nicholas had no idea of Remus’ plan and he arrived at the manor with

Kieran in tow.

As soon as Andrew saw the two brothers arriving, he quickly walked forward to greet them, “Master

Nicholas and Master Kieran, you’re back. Dinner will be ready soon.”

Kieran then smiled and nodded. “Are there any of my favorites for dinner today?”

“There is. Otherwise, do you want to add any extra dishes Master Kieran?” Andrew responded with a

smile.

Meanwhile, Nicholas couldn’t help slightly frowning upon noticing the duo’s interaction.

Everything seemed to be pretty much the same in the manor, but he somehow felt that it lacked some

human presence.

Ever since Tessa had left, Gregory seemed to revert to his previous self two years ago when Nicholas

had just returned. Back then, Gregory was not used to Nicholas’s presence, so he was exceptionally

resistant to Nicholas. Whenever he looked at Nicholas, Gregory generally had an indifferent and distant

look in his eyes. It was pretty much history repeating itself.

As soon as Nicholas thought of Tessa, he couldn’t help his frustration.

Meanwhile, Kieran didn’t realize that there was a change in Nicholas’ mood and scanned the

surroundings. “Where’s Gregory?”

“Young Master Gregory is in the music room,” Andrew mentioned with a sigh once again.

At that moment, Kieran glanced in the direction of the music room with worry. “Nicholas, we have to do

something about it. We can’t allow this to continue. Don’t you think that Gregory seems slightly

depressed lately? I’ve always been his favorite Uncle Kieran but now, no matter how hard I try to coax

him, he keeps ignoring me.”

Nicholas coldly responded, “Stop being nosy about our matters here. You should focus on performing

well at your job.”

“But then, Nicholas-” Kieran attempted to continue with his advice, but before he could finish his

sentence, Nicholas had shot such a sharp look that he instantly held his tongue there and then.

That expression of his is scary… Kieran didn’t dare to continue with his words but he thought, It’s okay,

you can treat Gregory like this right now. However, in the future, when you want to restore ties with him,

you’ll finally have a taste of your own medicine! I give up!

Meanwhile, now that Tessa was back home, she was resting well and didn’t have much to do on a daily

basis.

Her injury hadn’t fully healed yet, so the orchestra had also sought out another assistant concertmaster

and didn’t need her there at all. Besides, she had also resigned from the job of guiding Gregory, so her

originally busy life seemed to be on halt at the moment.

Generally, most people would enjoy some relaxing time, but having nothing to do all of a sudden was

something that Tessa couldn’t quite get used to just yet.

She was like a couch potato day in and day out to the point where she was bored with such a sedentary

lifestyle.
