Chapter 1417 Daddy’s Home
Liam looked up at Nicholas, and a dark look flashed across Nicholas' face before he
responded in a calm tone. "There's no rush for that. We can talk about it after you're done
with your work," he said.
"I understand." Liam assumed that his request had been rejected, so he nodded and
turned to leave. However, he couldn't conceal the sadness on his face. Nicholas and
Edward were left alone in the office after that. Since Nicholas was reminded of Kieran, he
no longer felt like he was in the mood to do work. So, he turned to look at Edward. "Do you
have any updates on the investigation I told you to run?"
"We've found some stuff." Edward maintained a calm demeanor as he reported the news
he had received. "We kept an eye on Master Joseph's men, and we found out that his
assistant left the country today."
Nicholas scoffed upon hearing Edward's words. "It seems like he's finally showing his true
colors." Nicholas' eyes glinted with a dangerous look in them as he spoke, and Edward let

happened," Edward replied.
"That's good. We need them to take action in order for us to find evidence against them. I
want you to track their every move. I don't want any mistakes to be made at a time like
this." Nicholas shot Edward a cold glare.
"I've already sent a lot of men over to keep an eye on them, so I'm sure we won't miss a
thing," Edward said with a nod. Nicholas finally gave a nod of satisfaction after that.
Nicholas was still as busy as ever in the next few days, and the news continued to make
more reports on Kieran's situation. Tons of reporters camped outside Sawyer Group in
hopes of receiving some breaking news, but Nicholas simply ignored these people.
One evening, Nicholas headed home to Sawyer Residence after he was done with work.
Stefania was sitting on the couch with her eyes red and swollen—it was obvious that she
had been crying. Tessa carried Gordon and Gregory in her arms while sitting beside
Stefania. "I know you're sad, but you need to take care of yourself, Mom. You still have
Nicholas, Gregory, and Gordon here with you," Tessa uttered.
"You need to stay strong, Grandma. We're here!" Gregory tried his best to comfort the
woman. However, Stefania remained silent, and the atmosphere at home felt especially
heavy and gloomy. Tessa and Gregory had run out of ways to make Stefania feel better.
Gordon, who was only a few months old, was the only one who had no idea what was
going on. When he realized how silent the room was, he threw his stubby hands up as he
babbled and cried out loud.
Tessa came up with an idea then. "Mom, there've been a lot of relatives visiting in the past
few days, and I find it hard to take care of Gregory and Gordon while hosting them. I'm
afraid I might need your help to take care of the kids," she suggested. It was clear that
Tessa had struck one of Stefania's soft spots at the mention of her children.
Stefania took one glance at Gregory and Gordon before she realized what was going on.
This is an unexpected situation, but I can't sit around and be sad all the time. "You're right.
I do have you guys with me," Stefania uttered. She then let out a sigh as she tried her best

putting up a front, so Tessa was still especially mindful of Stefania's mood swings and
emotions. Tessa tried her best to use Gordon to distract Stefania at times.
Right then, the housekeeper's voice came from the entrance of the house. "You're back,
Master Nicholas." Gordon, Tessa, and Stefania all turned to look at the entrance.
"You're back, Daddy!" Gregory leaped out of the couch and tottered over to him. Tessa,
too, got to her feet with Gordon in her arms. After greeting Nicholas, the whole family sat
around for a chat in the dining area. Both Tessa and Stefania were especially concerned
about the company's condition.
"The stocks have been really volatile because of Kieran's situation. How are things looking
in the office? Did the stocks affect anything?" Both women gazed at Nicholas worriedly.
Nicholas didn't want them to worry, so he simply told them that everything was under
control. They chatted for a while more before Stefania said that she was tired. She sent
the two children to bed, and Nicholas and Tessa were the only ones left in the living room
after that.
