Always Been Yours

Kieran was always the more expressive brother, so when he aired his grievances, his face showed how wronged he felt. Still, his aggrieved expression merely lasted for less than a second before it switched to unabashed enthusiasm, for he was eager to share with Tessa that the two of them were in attendance at her concert.

On the other hand, Tessa was stunned when she heard this. “Grandpa, why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were coming? If I had known you were coming, I could have arranged a better seat for you.”

This time, because of Sofia’s excellent marketing of Tessa’s special concert, it was nigh impossible to gain access to a single ticket.

After Remus heard the words that escaped Tessa’s lips, he glared at Kieran for his loose tongue and slightly reprimanded, “You talk too much. What are you? A fawn? Whatever happened to staying silent when you’re unwanted? Do you need me to hammer that into your brain?” He even emphasized his threat with a tap on his cane.

Kieran cowered when he met Remus’ gaze, knowing that Remus could dish out what he served.

Therefore, he immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, Grandpa. I was wrong. I’ll stop talking.” Not only that, he even made a mouth-zipping gesture right after he said that.

Meanwhile, the others couldn’t help it as they laughed at Kieran when they saw him like this.

Gregory gazed at the adults incomprehensibly and questioned, “Uncle Kieran is obviously a human. How can he be a fawn?”

The room went silent for a moment before the adults resumed laughing louder than before. Even Remus couldn’t hold back his amusement and chuckled.

The only one that wasn’t laughing was Kieran, who was busy looking at Gregory with a disgruntled gaze. Unfortunately for him, Gregory didn’t understand the source of his distress.

Finally, everyone managed to calm their amusement.

Also, thanks to this interruption, the atmosphere in the living room became relatively harmonious.

Once again, the topic of their conversation resumed to Tessa’s special concert that evening.

Tessa looked at Remus expectantly as she inquired eagerly for feedback from an audience and a respected elder, “What do you think of my performance this evening? Did I do well?”

As soon as that question left her lips, Nicholas, Kieran, and others turned their heads and looked in their direction.

Likewise, Remus naturally noticed their stares. Nevertheless, he ignored them with practiced ease. He merely glanced lightly at Tessa as he thought of how to reply to her. Then, pursing his lips slightly, he finally spoke, “How melodious can it be when your performance is so mediocre?”

Although he still spoke in a relatively arrogant tone, it was clear to all that he didn’t really mean those words. Nevertheless, his manner of speech was less dismissive than before.

Moreover, in all fairness, Remus felt that Tessa’s musical performance during her special concert this evening was no less than those of the maestros he had heard. He just didn’t want to admit it, that was all.

Even so, Tessa sensed the slight acknowledgment hidden between Remus’ words.

She knew of Remus’ prideful nature, so she didn’t take offense as she laughed and played along, “You’re right, Grandpa. I do need to work hard.”

As he regarded the well-behaved girl in front of him, he huffed in dissatisfaction, “Work hard? Yeah, right. You need to take care of your body too. After all, you’re pregnant now, and not to mention that your belly is getting so big. What will you do if your child gets negatively affected after you have worked yourself to the bone?”

Although the tone in his voice wasn’t that pleasant, the words he spoke were full of concern.

The others couldn’t help but smile when they heard Remus’ arrogant remarks, especially Tessa. The smile on her face got even more genuine before she nodded obediently. “Yes, you are right. I certainly will be careful.”

At this moment, Nicholas also held Tessa’s hand with a gentle smile. Then, he promised Remus by saying, “Rest assured, Grandpa. I will take good care of her.”

“Me too! I will take good care of Mommy and protect Mommy too!” Gregory hurriedly stated, unwilling to be forgotten.

Everyone couldn’t help but feel amused when they saw Gregory’s serious demeanor.

Timothy, who was next to Tessa, also breathed a sigh of relief as he thought, It seems like Old Master Sawyer has changed his attitude toward Tess.

When Stefania saw that the tense atmosphere had passed into something more harmonious, she immediately took the initiative to voice her suggestion, “Oh, will you guys look at the time? I’m sure we are all hungry now. So, why don’t we eat first? As for this matter, we’ll talk about it later.”

After she finished speaking, her gaze landed on Remus. Others also turned their heads and looked in Remus’ direction.

Naturally, Remus noticed their gaze. So, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Why are all of you looking at me like that? Since we are all famished, let’s eat.”

Just at this moment, Sebastian came to inform them, “Master Nicholas. Madam Tessa. Supper is ready.”

Upon hearing that, Nicholas nodded. He helped Tessa up from the couch and then beckoned the others to enjoy their meal in the dining hall.

“Grandpa, let me help you.” Kieran quickly stepped forward to help Remus with a somewhat sycophantic attitude.

Remus merely gave him a cold side-eye but didn’t refuse his help.

During their meal, the atmosphere in the room was pretty cozy.

Suddenly, Timothy raised his glass and gave Tessa a toast. “Tess, congratulations on your success in this evening’s special concert.”

Tessa hurriedly raised her glass of juice as he responded with a happy smile, “Thanks.”
