Chapter 1416 Master Kieran’s Funeral

Nicholas let out an icy scoff. It took Edward a few moments to finally understand what

Nicholas meant, and Edward's face fell after that. "Are you saying that they…"

"Well, aside from Adam and Joseph, is there anyone else who really wants me dead?"

Nicholas asked in response.

Edward came up with an idea that sounded logical then. "I'll send people over to keep an

eye on them!"

"It's one thing to keep an eye on them, but you should also get people to search for

evidence against them. Since they're the ones who chose not to live a peaceful life, we

should make sure that things turn into chaos for them!" Nicholas' eyes glinted with hatred

as he spoke. After that, Edward nodded and went off to work.

Nicholas ended work late that night, so everyone was fast asleep by the time he returned

to Sawyer Residence. Tessa was the only one who was still awake—she was sitting in bed

and flipping through a book while she waited for Nicholas to get back. She immediately

lowered her book and walked over to him when she saw him entering the room. "You're

back," she uttered gently while reaching out to take his coat from him.

He nodded. "How was Mom and Dad's mood earlier today? Did the relatives cause any

trouble?" he asked.

"Mom and Dad were okay, but I think they're still struggling to accept things with Kieran.

The relatives didn't do or say much." Tessa gave him a brief summary of what happened

at home earlier.

When Nicholas realized how occupied his wife had been and how she had tried to handle

every single thing in the household for the past few days, he felt a surge of gratitude for

her. "Thank you for doing so much in the past few days," he said. "It's my duty, and it's not

tiring for me at all. You're the one who must be tired…" Tessa hugged the man from

behind. "You might not have expressed it in the last few days, but I can tell that you're

really troubled after all that happened," she uttered.

Tessa's voice seemed to crack a little as she tightened her hug around the man. "It's just

us now. If you're really sad or hurt, and if you want to let it out, you can do it now. It hurts

me to see you trying to suppress everything," she uttered. Nicholas pressed his lips

together after sensing how much his wife cared for him. "I'm fine. Don't worry," he replied

in a deep and thick voice as he patted the back of her hand.

Upon hearing his words, Tessa assumed that Nicholas simply wanted to hide his weak and

vulnerable side in front of her, so she let out a sigh before rubbing her face against his

back. "How could such a thing happen? Kieran didn't even start his own family yet… How

could he leave before his parents? I can imagine how Mom and Dad feel," Tessa muttered.

"Don't worry. Kieran's going to be fine. There's still a chance," Nicholas uttered. However,

there was a dark look in his gaze that made him seem rather uncertain. Tessa didn't think

too much about this matter—she simply assumed that Nicholas, like his parents, found it

too hard to accept the truth of Kieran's matter. Nicholas didn't know what Tessa thought of

him.

He pulled Tessa into his arms before lowering his head to give her a kiss on the forehead.

"I'll need you to talk to Mom and Dad. I don't want them to worry too much about this," he

said.

Tessa nodded to show that she would do as he said. That night, they cuddled and fell

asleep together. The next day, Nicholas left for work early in the morning. Edward knocked

on his door just moments after he arrived at his office. There was a tall man who followed

closely behind Edward.

The tall man was Kieran's assistant, Liam Greenberg. He had some documents in his

hands, and he wore a stern look on his face as he walked into the room. "I'm here to take

over Master Kieran's job, President Sawyer," Liam explained.

"Alright. Which ones are urgent?" Nicholas nodded before ordering Liam to give him a

general explanation of the situation. Liam quickly held out the documents in his arms.

"I've used a red sticker to highlight the files that are urgent, and I've written some notes

on the other files that require your attention," Liam said.

"I got it. I'll go through them as soon as possible." Nicholas pulled out the papers that had

red stickers on them while Edward went through and sorted out the rest of the files. It took

them a few minutes to hand over the necessary matters before Nicholas sent Liam out.

"You can go back to work," Nicholas uttered.

However, Liam stood in his spot with a hesitant look on his face. "Is anything the matter?"

Edward asked when he saw Liam standing still.

"Well, President Sawyer, I was wondering when Master Kieran's funeral will happen. Can I

go there to help out?" Liam asked.
