Chapter 22

Any man would succumb to my soothing voice!

Roselle was confident with her voice, believing Nicholas would soften up upon hearing it.

Nonetheless, Nicholas didn’t seem to feel anything when he heard the lady’s words. After all, he was a

man who preferred living his life as a bachelor, and he wasn’t interested in women at all. Thus, Roselle’s

voice didn’t really do its trick and work on him.

Furthermore, he could sense something awry about being sent to the airport by his mother, but despite

his unhappiness, he didn’t turn down Roselle’s sudden request. “Alright, I’ll bring Greg along later.”

Nicholas gave a calm reply, which put a smile on Roselle’s face on the other side of the phone.

After the phone call ended, Nicholas called his butler, who was at Dynasty Garden. “Andrew, please

bring Greg to the airport.”

On the other hand, Gregory showed strong reluctance when he learned that his father wanted him to

leave home. He then hugged Tessa with a stubborn look on his face while acting up. “No, I’m not going

anywhere. I want to be with Miss Pretty Lady.”

Helpless, Andrew tried his best to persuade the boy. “But Master Nicholas has made it clear that you

must be there, so you’ll only make it difficult for me if you won’t come along…”

Gregory reacted with a bitter expression on his face, but after a short hesitation, he turned his attention

to Tessa and asked, “Miss Pretty Lady, would you come along with me?”

“What?” Tessa was stunned as she was prompted by her subconsciousness to say no, but before

anything could come out of her mouth, she was interrupted by the boy.

Gregory murmured and said, “I want Miss Pretty Lady to be with me! If you don’t come along, then I

won’t go anywhere.”

When Andrew heard that, he turned his gaze to Tessa. “Miss Reinhart, please come with us.”

“Alright then.” Tessa was amused yet helpless but eventually decided to go along with the butler.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the airport, where they met up with Nicholas. When Nicholas noticed

Tessa’s presence, he couldn’t help but feel stunned about it.

Tessa awkwardly said, “It was Greg who insisted that I tagged along…”

“Yes, it was my idea for Miss Pretty Lady to come along.” Greg made his point clear by emphasizing it

once more.

Meanwhile, Nicholas fixed his gaze on the boy and Tessa without saying a single word more but

somehow decided it wouldn’t make any difference anyway. While the man was pondering, Roselle and

her mother, Yana, showed up with their luggage at the airport’s gate. Standing in place with his body

straight, he greeted the two ladies just when they got closer. “Hello, Mrs. Gingham. Hello, Miss

Gingham.”

“Long time no see, Nicholas.” Roselle curled her lips upward and smiled gracefully, just as her beautiful

make-up accentuated her aura as the daughter of a prestigious family. At that moment, she looked at

Nicholas with the admiration she could barely hide.

Oh gosh! This guy looks so much more handsome and outstanding than he did a few years ago. Not

only is he gorgeous and decent-looking, but he is also giving off a manly aura. I guess there is a reason

why he is the one I have had a crush on for years, but the only sad thing is the way he addresses me. He

is

making us sound like strangers, doesn’t he?

“Oh wow! We haven’t met for years, but now you look like a successful and talented businessman,

Nicholas. Now that you’re running the Sawyer Group, you seem even more manly and capable to me,

which reminds me of your father when he was younger. In fact, it seems to me that your charm can

match his back then.” Soon, Yana, who was dressed like a typical rich man’s wife, joined the

conversation and complimented Nicholas while keeping her eyes on him.

“Thanks for the compliment,” Nicholas coldly answered and waved at Gregory. “Come here and say hi,

Greg.”

Upon hearing that, Gregory came closer and greeted the adults politely. “Hello, Mrs. Gingham. Hello,

Miss Gingham.” In spite of his courteous greetings, his tone somehow sounded rather cold and

indifferent, as if there was an estrangement between them.

On the other hand, Roselle smiled and approached Gregory when she saw him. “Oh gosh! You’ve grown

so tall, Greg. You’re such an adorable kid who looks just like your father. I’m Roselle, by the way, and I

even carried you in my arms before when you were little, but I doubt you remember it!” She then

stretched out her arm to pinch the boy’s cheek, only to be met with a reaction that would leave her

embarrassed.

It turned out that Gregory dodged the lady’s hand with a long face and a pair of furrowed brows while

clearly expressing his dislike for Roselle, who froze awkwardly in response.
