Chapter 368 Argument
Nicholas ignored him and went into the residence.
Remus was waiting in the resplendent living room. His butler told him that Nicholas had returned, and
when his grandson came in, he picked his teacup up and sipped from it. “You’re back,” he said
majestically.
“What’s with the engagement?” Nicholas stood in the living room, looking at his grandfather coldly, and
tension rose in the air.
Remus paused, and he looked at Nicholas in displeasure. “Are you questioning me?”
“If you want to think like that, then yes.” Nicholas didn’t deny it. He said calmly, “There are some lines
you should never cross.”
“Are you telling me what to do?” Remus’ face fell and he slammed his cup down. He insisted, “You’re
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgoing to get engaged whether you like it or not.”
“I won’t do it.” Nicholas was even more stubborn. “If you want to go on with it, then do it. But there won’t
be a groom during the engagement banquet.”
“Are you threatening me?” Remus flew into a rage. “I know what you’re thinking. You don’t want to get
engaged because you want that Reinhart woman to be your girlfriend, don’t you?”
“As long as she’s not someone you want me to marry.” Nicholas didn’t give him a straight answer, but
refusal was written all over his face.
Remus was livid that Nicholas was going against him time and again. “That wench must have deceived
you. I will never allow you to marry that woman! The lady of the family must come from an equally
powerful family!”
Nicholas looked angry as well, and his patience ran out. He simply laid all his cards on the table and shot
back, “Gregory is Tessa’s son. Why can’t she be my wife?”
At once, Remus’ face fell. “So you knew.”
“You weren’t being discreet. If I couldn’t even find that out, I would have failed your teachings,” Nicholas
mocked.
Remus snorted. “So what if she’s Gregory’s mother? She abandoned him for money. That’s proof that
she’s a gold digger. I will never allow someone like that to be a part of us.”
While they were arguing in the living room, someone appeared on the porch, but they didn’t see her.
Hayley was petrified. She never expected Gregory to be Tessa’s son. So that’s why he likes her so
much? There’s no way I can make Gregory like me now that he’s met his own mother. Not like she’ll let
me either. With this thought in mind, Hayley left immediately.
Nicholas and Remus were still arguing, and the tension would snap at any given moment. “Do you want
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmme to have a heart attack, Nicholas? Everyone knows you should get a wise woman as a wife. What
kind of help can someone like Tessa give you?”
“I don’t think the family has declined so much that it needs to sacrifice my marriage to sustain it,”
Nicholas retorted.
Remus felt a stab of pain coming from his chest from all the fury he was feeling.
The butler quickly called Tobias and his wife, telling them to come over as soon as possible. Then, he
went back to Remus and patted his back. At the same time, he persuaded, “Master Nicholas, this is for
your own good. Miss Stone is wise, smart, and cultured. There’s no better woman out there who can help
you. Just go with it, alright?”
“Only a useless man needs his own wife to help him.” Nicholas looked at the butler coldly, the mockery
thick in his voice.
Remus laughed mirthlessly, and he looked at Nicholas. “That’s arrogance.”
The air around Nicholas seemed to turn cold, and he chuckled. “I could say the same to you, Grandpa.”
