Chapter 874 Chess and Tea

In the Sawyer Residence, Remus came downstairs to find Nicholas sitting on the sofa. With a snort, he

said coldly, “What are you doing here?”

“Still angry?” Nicholas looked sideways at Remus without paying mind to the latter’s tone. With a wry

smile, he said indifferently, “I was thinking of inviting you to a game of chess. Also, I’ve asked someone

to bring this can of tea leaves over as well, as I’ve heard that it’s a new product that has a nice fragrance.

But, since you’re still angry, then I’d better come back another day instead.”

Just as Nicholas was about to get up and leave, Remus said in slight annoyance, “Hold it. Did I tell you

to leave?”

Here, a gleam flashed in Nicholas’ eyes. He then turned around and feigned ignorance. “What other

orders do you have for me?”

“Give me that can of tea leaves you have.” Remus held his hand out to Nicholas. He hadn’t the intention

of keeping Nicholas here; he only wanted that can of quality tea leaves Nicholas brought with him.

Looking at Remus acting so proudly, Nicholas smiled as he handed it over to him.

PlayvolumeAd Then, Remus opened one of the cans and knew that the quality of these tea leaves was

impeccable, as a refreshing fragrance escaped the moment the can was opened. “Well, at least you still

have the heart to do this.” Feeling satisfied, he closed the can with a faint smile on his face before he

handed it off to Ian, who had been standing by the side. “Go and make a cup of this tea. As for the kid,

just a cup of plain water is fine for him. Oh yes, bring me my chess set as well. I’ll be thoroughly teaching

this kid a lesson tonight.”

Smiling, Ian left and did as ordered. Soon after, he came back with Remus’ tea and chess set. Naturally,

he didn’t dare to serve Nicholas a cup of plain water as Remus had ordered, as he knew that his master

did not mean his words.

And so, Nicholas accompanied Remus in the living room. The two played chess while enjoying the tea

the former had brought. Watching how harmonious the two of them were, Ian, who was standing at the

side, became relieved. Although Remus had not said anything recently, he knew that Remus had missed

his grandson very dearly and had regretted the words he spoke on an impulse that day.

That night, Nicholas played countless matches of chess with Remus, who had never once lost the smile

on his face through it all. It was only when it was time for Remus to rest did Nicholas leave the place.

Throughout the night, the two of them had intentionally avoided bringing up Tessa, so there wasn’t any

unpleasantness between the two.

In the following days, Tessa brought Gregory along when she had her daily practice with the orchestra

members. In the afternoon, she would send him back home for his lessons while she took lessons about

compositions at Simon’s house. As she was poor in many aspects since she had not studied in a

professional school before, she took Simon’s lessons seriously and diligently. Fortunately, she had talent

in music. Adding to the fact that her memory was amazing, her improvement was obvious to see.

Simon had taken notice of her improvement as well, which was why today, he wrote several notes on a

paper and handed it to Tessa. “I want you to compose a tune out of these notes and give it to me before

this time tomorrow.”

Tessa knew immediately that Simon was testing her about what she had learned, so she nodded in

response and accepted the task.

That same night, Gregory knew that his mother was going to be busy composing a song, so he tried not

to bother her during this time.

In the study room, Tessa was looking up information at her desk while composing the tune at a speed

that was faster than before. Later that evening, Nicholas gave her a video call and found out that she had

accepted Simon’s assignment, so he accompanied her in silence.

Time passed, and it was midnight when Tessa finished her assignment. “Nicholas, I’m done.” Happily,

she took the score and shared it with Nicholas.

As Nicholas looked at his wife through his phone, he felt sorry for Tessa, as she was clearly fatigued,

albeit smiling joyfully. Hence, he said, “Since you’re done, you should get some rest now. You still have

to go for practice tomorrow.”

True enough, Tessa was tired after focusing on her assignment for so long, so she nodded in assent and

ended the call before going to sleep.
