Chapter 405 Interrogated
As if she had been drained of all energy, Tessa leaned weakly against Nicholas with her eyes glazed with
lust.
A long time later, Nicholas finally released his grip on Tessa, who had nearly passed out from lack of
oxygen. However, their necking didn’t end there. Aroused, the man scooped her up in his arms and went
back to their bedroom. Their wonderful nightlife had just begun.
The next day, Tessa had to go to the orchestra after having breakfast with Nicholas and Gregory. She
really wanted to stay with them at home, but the orchestra’s public performance was just around the
corner, so it’d be inappropriate for her to ask for leave. As a result, Gregory and Nicholas were left in the
huge villa, and Nicholas played with Gregory in the living room.
Some time afterward, Kieran gave Nicholas a video call. He asked with concern, “Nicholas, have you
guys settled down over there? Is Greg alright?”
Upon hearing Kieran’s voice, Gregory, who was next to Nicholas, happily leaned over, saying, “Uncle
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKieran, I’m fine!”
Upon seeing this, Nicholas held his phone closer to Gregory to make it easier for the latter to speak to
Kieran.
The uncle and nephew laughed and joked for a while before Nicholas’ phone was back in his hands.
Kieran hemmed as his smile faded somewhat. Then, he said with a solemn expression, “Nicholas,
Grandpa was very angry after you left. As for the company, nothing went wrong except that I’ve got more
work to do.” His voice took on an unspeakably aggrieved note toward the end of his sentence. Back
when Nicholas was still at the office, he had never had endless work to be busy with every single day like
he was at present.
Nicholas pretended not to see the pitiful look in his brother’s eyes. He said coolly, “Keep an eye on the
company during this time. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me about it.” Although
he had said he wouldn’t care about what was going on in the country, he still paid close attention to the
situation over there, especially the situation of the company. Of course, he was able to take such a
hands-off approach because he wasn’t worried at all, knowing that Kieran would take care of the
company even if he was absent.
The instant Kieran heard this, his face scrunched up in distress. Why am I always the one who gets
dragged into trouble and suffers? I just wanted to be a loafer behind Nicholas; why am I handling the
company’s documents on his behalf now? And besides, the president’s workload is simply inhumane,
especially when I see the documents piling up on my desk, which makes me want all the more to defy
Nicholas and go abroad straight away to abduct him back to the country. At the thought of this, he
couldn’t help but ask in a whisper, “Nicholas, do you have any plans about what to do next?”
“I’ll be staying abroad for the time being.” Nicholas darted an impassive glance at Kieran. He knew full
well what Kieran was thinking, but he would never go back until Remus gave in.
When Kieran heard this, his face scrunched up even more. After hanging up the phone, he took a glance
at the documents piled up on his desk. Then, resigning himself to his fate, he started reviewing the
documents with a sigh.
When Kieran finished work in the evening, he was terribly exhausted, so he drove straight to Dynasty
Gardens. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go home. However, he knew very well that if he went home, his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmparents would definitely interrogate him about Nicholas’ whereabouts, so he’d rather go to Nicholas’
place to have some peace.
However, little did he expect that his parents would pursue him all the way to Nicholas’ place despite his
desire to hide from them.
In the brightly lit living room, Tobias and Stefania sat on the sofa with serious looks on their faces while
eyeing Kieran up and down with scrutiny. “Do you really have no idea where your brother is?”
“Dad, Mom, please let me off. I really don’t know where Nicholas is.” Kieran begged for mercy with a
troubled expression. “It’s not like you two don’t know what he’s capable of. He’s got many ways to make
people unable to find him.”
Tobias and Stefania looked at each other. What Kieran said was indeed true. With Nicholas’ capabilities,
making them unable to find him was a piece of cake. Still, they didn’t believe that Kieran hadn’t heard
from him.
In the end, Tobias fixed Kieran with a warning stare. “Let me ask you again, Kieran. Do you really have
no idea where your brother is?”
Kieran’s heart shuddered with fear when he noticed the threat in Tobias’ eyes. Still, he gritted his teeth
and insisted, “Dad, I really don’t know where he is!”
