Chapter 920 Taken a Liking to Nicholas
Tessa knew Nicholas was worried about her body’s condition, so she took a step forward
and held his hand. “I was worried as you haven’t come back yet. Don’t worry. I can take
care of myself.” She smiled.
Hearing her words, Nicholas knew he couldn’t do anything to change her mind. So, he just
looked at her and said, “Oh, you…” “Oh right, have you eaten yet? I have the servant
heated up some soup for you in the kitchen. I’ll get it for you. Do you want some?” Tessa
smiled and changed the topic.
When Nicholas heard her words, he didn’t refuse, as this was her token of regard.
At the same time, Eunice, who had been out playing all day, had returned home. As she
walked up the stairs, she noticed that the lights in the study room were still on. So, she
walked over and knocked on the door.
“Daddy, it’s getting late now. Why aren’t you resting?” she said with concern as she leaned
against the door.
In the study room, a man with gray hair sat against the huge office table. There were many

gentleman from his facial features. This man was Eunice’s father, Walter, who was in charge
of a listed company with millions of workers. So, aside from being a musician, Eunice was
also a rich young woman.
“I’m still not done with the company affairs.” As Walter spoke, he could sense Eunice reeked
of alcohol. “Why are you home so late? Don’t you know that drinking and staying out till
late at night is dangerous for a woman?” He frowned, displeased about his daughter’s
behavior.
As Eunice heard his words, she knew he was just concerned about her, so she didn’t mind
his tone. “I was just hanging out with some friends at the clubhouse, and I lost track of
time.”
Hearing her words, Walter dismissed her, as he didn’t want to think about it any further,
knowing that he couldn’t do anything about her. “Since you’re back, clean up yourself and
get to bed. Don’t you have to be at the orchestra early in the morning tomorrow?” he said.
At that moment, Eunice obliged and was ready to leave when she suddenly remembered
something. Then, she stopped and asked, “Daddy, can you do me a favor?”
“What is it?” Walter asked.
“Can you help me look into a person called Nicholas Sawyer? He is a businessman from
Xerthania,” said Eunice as she decided to take some time to get to know him since she
wanted to win his heart.
Never did she expect that her father would be shocked after hearing her words. “You mean
the Nicholas?” Walter exclaimed.
Seeing the reaction on his face, she was slightly surprised but expectant. “Do you know
him?” she asked.
Walter shook his head and said, “Not really. I just heard things about him.”
“I was so happy when I thought you had known him. What a waste.” Her tone was full of
disappointment.
Hearing her words, Walter was speechless. “Well, although I’m not familiar with him, I have
heard things about him for the past few days.”
At that moment, Eunice perked up and asked, “What things about him?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It is said that he is a sophisticated man. Recently, he had been building up his connections
with the government of Vienna, as he is trying to start a business there.” Walter didn’t shun
her from the news.
As Eunice listened to Nicholas’ matter, her eyes brightened as she had never thought he
was this outstanding.
Then, she walked up and hugged Walter’s hand. “Please tell me more about him, Daddy.”
Walter was also a father who spoiled his daughter. So, he told her everything he knew about
Nicholas. “I heard that he had signed a huge project today. It is a project that many well-
established business companies in Xerthania are fighting for.” His tone was full of
admiration toward Nicholas. “To be able to get this project from those companies was
enough to prove his ability. I heard that he had just arrived here a few months. I assumed
he would be strong enough to have a place here if given more time.”
“He is so amazing,” Eunice effused. At the same time, she fell for Nicholas even more.
Suddenly, Walter gained back his senses and looked at her in confusion. “Why do you want
to know about him?” he asked.
Hearing his words, Eunice was startled, but she smiled sweetly as she spoke. “That’s
because I’ve taken a liking to him.”
