Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1439

Chapter 1439 Here's a Season to Be Jolly

Stefania tapped his little nose affectionately and cooed, "Gordon, are you laughing at your Uncle Kieran for acting shamelessly too?"

Gordon responded with a round of cheerful giggles.

On the other hand, Gregory paid zero attention to the comings and goings around him. Instead, he sat at the coffee table, focusing on preparing Christmas greeting cards.

He planned to give each of the family members a unique greeting card.

Afterward, the chef at the Sawyer Residence prepared a table of sumptuous dishes, officially kick-starting the Sawyers' Christmas Eve dinner.

The family enjoyed themselves as they sat around the dining table.

Remus felt nothing but gratified as he looked around the dining room.

It had been a long time since the atmosphere in the Sawyer Residence was this lively.

Remus' face flushed due to having drank a little just now. Nevertheless, he was in an exceptionally good mood after dinner.

When he ambled away to his seat on the couch, he waved to Gregory and Tessa. "Come here, you two."

"Great-Grandpa." Gregory hugged Remus' thigh affectionately.

Tessa came over while carrying Gordon in her arms. She was rather intrigued by his request and couldn't help asking, "Are you okay, Old Master Sawyer?"

"I'm fine. I just want to give you some gift cards."

As he spoke, he took out three gift cards and handed them to Gregory, Gordon, and Tessa, respectively.

Tessa was naturally in charge of keeping Gordon's gift card.

In truth, Tessa was a little surprised, for she never expected that she would receive a Christmas gift from Remus. "Thank you, Old Master Sawyer."

She smiled sweetly at Remus.

At this moment, Kieran jokingly approached Remus. "Merry Christmas, Grandpa. You can pass me my gift card now."

"Do you think you deserve any gifts when you have spent no effort in finding a girlfriend? Run along. I have no presents for you." Remus waved, shooing him away.

After that, she looked at Remus, feeling a little anxious.

However, it was as though Remus didn't notice the tension in her eyes because his smile never wavered. He merely nodded, pleased. "Not bad, not bad at all. Being able to take up the role of the music director of an orchestra group in such a short time is enough to prove your ability. As for the children, you have nothing to worry about. Although Gordon is still young, we have helpers at home to take care of him. So, just focus on your career."

As soon as Remus said this, not only were the Reinhart siblings stunned, but the rest of the Sawyers were also equally astonished. Initially, all of them thought that Remus would stop Tessa from going abroad. Yet, to their surprise, Remus actually supported her so openly.

"Old Master Sawyer, does this mean that you agree with my decision?" Tessa looked at Remus in disbelief. Yet, deep down, she was extremely touched by his supportive behavior.

Rather, it was Remus who wasn't used to someone looking at him with an earnest gaze.

He turned his head away as he coughed lightly and added awkwardly, "Don't get me wrong. I didn't agree to anything. I just wanted to seize this opportunity to usurp Gordon and Gregory for a while. After all, you don't always bring them over to visit me. This time, none of you will be able to fight against me, for it's decided that Gregory and Gordon will be staying at the Sawyer Residence."

Still, everyone didn't even bother concealing their amusement when they heard such a fake yet pretentious excuse.

Once that was over, Kieran also mentioned Timothy's plan to study abroad.

"I remember that Timothy will be studying abroad after Christmas too. So, Timothy, when are you leaving? How long do you plan to study there?"
