Chapter 1175 Family Talk
Yet, his disappointment was replaced by anticipation not long after. Daddy promised me
the gift. I’ll get it sooner or later. At this thought, he waddled around in excitement.
While they were chatting happily, Andrew came in and announced, “Sir, madam, Master
Timothy and Master Kieran are here.” Kieran and Timothy made their entrance.
“Fancy seeing you two together.” Tessa was surprised to see them together. Timothy
smiled. “I ran into Kieran this afternoon, so we thought we’d have a drink tonight. He said
Nicholas has a lot of good stuff, so here we are. In his words, we’re here to clean out the
cellar.”
“You want to clean out my cellar?” Nicholas shot his brother a killer look. Kieran cowered
at once and shouted for help. “Help me, Tess!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTessa was amused. A while later, everyone started talking about Gregory and his getting
first place in the competition. “He got first place out of a few thousand contestants. That’s
awesome.” Kieran gawked at the boy.
Surprised, Timothy nodded. “Very well done. And he broke the record of the youngest
champion.” Gregory felt a little sheepish from all the praise he was getting.
Nicholas said, “It’s his first competition. Shouldn’t you give him something to
commemorate the event? You’re his uncles, after all.” Hey, they’re here for my wine, so I
have to extort something from them. That’s my prerogative.
Kieran and Timothy realized they had to gift the boy something. “We should, but I didn’t
know you won the competition. I’ll give you something next time, alright?” Timothy looked
at the boy gently.
Kieran said, “Me too. I’ll give you something next time.”
Gregory was fine with it, and then they sat down for a little chat. Tessa asked, “Tim, you
told me you have something important to handle. How’s it going?”
“It’s in the negotiation process. The client’s a bit of a hassle, but I can handle this, sis.
Don’t worry,” Timothy answered. Gently, Nicholas said, “I’ll keep an eye on it. Nobody’s
taking advantage of him.”
Tessa was thankful for his help.
Then, Timothy asked her about the performance. “How are the preparations going? Do you
need help?”
“It’s fine. I can deal with it.” Tessa omitted the bad parts, and before they knew it, they
were talking about Amber.
Timothy said, “You don’t have to deal with her anymore. I’ll pay her a visit when I have
time, then I’ll get someone to keep an eye on her. You focus on your performance, sis.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Thanks. I appreciate the help.” Tessa nodded with a smile. She was grateful her brother
would shoulder that burden all so she wouldn’t have to deal with the bad part of their
past.
Timothy didn’t mind. Furthermore, the most he would do for the old hag was to pay for her
medical expenses, and nothing more. He didn’t care about her. After all, she never once
showed him or his sister love, so she had no right to ask for affection in return. Timothy
would have left her for dead if not because he pitied the academy, and he was only taking
over so that old hag wouldn’t yell at his sister.
That night, the whole family gathered in the living room and chatted.
Just when the mood felt right, Kieran thought it was time to go for his brother’s wine.
“Nick, we should celebrate Greg’s victory with some wine.”
Gregory exposed his little scheme. “Uncle, don’t drag me into this. You want Daddy’s wine,
you tell him yourself.”
