Chapter 396 Heart Attack

Gregory had no idea Tessa was thinking about so many things at once. He smiled at her. “He’s home.

He’s in his study. Do you want to see him?”

Tessa heaved a sigh of relief, but then she thought it was weird. If he’s at home, why did he turn his

phone off? She wanted answers, so she told Gregory to take the phone to his father.

“Daddy, Daddy. Miss Tessa wants to see you.” Gregory went upstairs, holding the phone in his hand

while shouting.

A while later, Nicholas showed up. “What’s wrong?” he asked.

“You’re at home. Why did you turn your phone off? I thought something happened to you.” She shot him

a glare, but he could hear that she was concerned.

A smile curled his lips, and he felt happy. “Are you worried about me?”

“I couldn’t get through to you, and I’m not in Southend, so of course I’m worried. And you’ve never turned

your phone off before.” She didn’t deny it, and she asked, “So why did you turn it off anyway?”

“Because I don’t want to be disturbed.” He told her about the dinner between the Stones and the

Sawyers.

“So they’re still matching you up with someone?” Tessa sounded down, and also jealous. She didn’t look

too happy either.

Nicholas was amused. He knew she was jealous, and he chuckled at her. “Don’t think too much about it.

You’re the only one I want.”

Touched, Tessa nodded, and she told herself that she should believe in Nicholas.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Tessa had to leave.

Not long after they ended the call, Andrew knocked on the door. “Sir, Master Remus is here.”

Nicholas frowned, but he took Gregory and went down anyway.

When Remus saw Nicholas showing up in casual attire, he flew into a rage. The man slammed his cup

down and chided, “This is ridiculous! You’re free, so why did you refuse to attend the dinner?”

“Great-grandpa…” Gregory had never seen Remus so angry before, and he stood by his father for

comfort.

Nicholas noticed his fear, and his face fell. “Take him upstairs, Andrew,” he said.

Andrew nodded and left with Gregory, leaving Nicholas and Remus alone in the living room. The air was

fraught with tension.

In the end, Remus broke the silence. “Why didn’t you attend the dinner? Don’t you know that everyone

was there?”

“So? I won’t repeat myself. I know what you’re planning, and my answer is still no.” He pointed out what

Remus had in mind, and it made him even angrier.

Remus growled, “What’s wrong with Hayley? She’s a good match, and she likes you and Gregory. She’s

perfect as your wife.”

“No matter how perfect she is, it won’t fly as long as I and Gregory don’t like her,” he refused again, and

his patience ran out. “For one last time, I won’t marry Hayley, so stop pestering me. If you like her so

much, then you marry her,” he said coldly.

The last sentence finally made Remus snap. “What did you just say, Nicholas?” He slammed the table

and shot up angrily, glaring at Nicholas, but then his anger turned into pain as he clutched his chest and

staggered backward. A moment later, he closed his eyes and fell down.

Nicholas was shocked, but he quickly held Remus and shouted, “Andrew! Get the car and send Grandpa

to the hospital!”

…

Nicholas was standing outside the ER, looking grim. A moment later, the quiet corridor was filled with the

sounds of footsteps as Tobias and Stefania came in a hurry.
