Chapter 371 Persuasion

Before she could say anything, Sonia saw through her. She knew Hayley was feeling uneasy, so she

calmed her down. “It’s alright. Leave this to us. You stay out of it.”

…

As they cared about the engagement a lot, the Stones went to see Remus early the next morning to talk

about the arrangements. They pretended they knew nothing, of course. “Mr. Sawyer, we’ve drafted the

list of the guests. When will the invitations arrive? We need to send them out.”

Remus looked at the list of guests on the table, but he didn’t tell the butler to take it.

The Stone couple felt their hearts skipping a beat.

Remus sipped some tea and answered imperiously, “Take the list back. The engagement needs to be

delayed.”

The Stone couple was stunned, and their faces fell. Remus noticed that, but he didn’t care. Countless

rich ladies would be more than happy to marry Nicholas. If the Stones would give up just like that, he

could find another family to work with.

Fortunately, the Stones were smart. They noticed Remus’ displeasure, and they held their emotions

down. “Why are we delaying it, Mr. Sawyer? I’ve never heard you mention anything about delaying

before.” Sonia didn’t want to give up just like that. She wanted to persuade Remus to go on with it, since

nobody knew if anything else would happen during the delay.

Remus frowned in displeasure. He thought Sonia was questioning him, so he said coldly, “If you want the

engagement, then get your daughter to get along with Nicholas. It’s been so long, and I’ve helped you so

much, but you still can’t make him fall for you. And now you ask me why the engagement is delayed?”

Hayley felt humiliated, and the Stone couple didn’t look too happy either, but they couldn’t voice it out.

Remus didn’t care. He snorted at them. “Send the guests away, butler.”

The butler obliged and invited the Stone family out. Left with no choice, they could only leave.

Remus was left alone on the couch, fuming. He didn’t want to delay the engagement either, but he knew

what kind of person Nicholas was. If Nicholas didn’t want to go to the engagement, Remus couldn’t force

him to, even if Nicholas’ life was at stake. Looks like I have to find some other way to force him.

The butler came back in and saw him looking pensive. He had been working for Remus for far too long

to not get what his employer was thinking. He went over to Remus and hesitated for a while, then he

said, “Sir, are you going to use Tessa to force Master Nicholas again? She’s already in another country. If

we do the same thing again, it’d be unbecoming of our family.”

Remus looked at him quietly for a moment and went back to his train of thoughts.

…

After the argument with Remus, Nicholas put everything aside and worked for the whole day. Not long

after he had dinner with Gregory at home, his parents came to him.

“Gregory, my sweet boy. Here, let me hold you.” Stefania smiled lovingly the moment she saw Gregory.

“Grandpa, Grandma!” Gregory happily trotted over to them.

They played with him for a while, then asked Andrew to take the boy upstairs.

Nicholas could tell that his parents had something to say to him. “Say what you have to say, but if it’s still

about the engagement, then my answer is still no.”

A frown furrowed Tobias’ forehead. He said sternly, “Nicholas, you should know your grandfather does

everything for your own good. You might not know this, but his health is declining. All he wants is to see

you raising a family and to have someone take care of Greg.”
