Chapter 753 Talk Some Sense into Him Nicholas pressed his forehead against Tessa’s after receiving her declaration of love and mumbled melodiously, “I will hold you to your word.”

“Be my guest,” said Tessa as she stared soberly into Nicholas’ eyes.

he kissed the pair of dazzling eyes, slowly making his way down, stopping at her lips.

Outside, Timothy hurriedly scurried away from the loving couple sharing an intimate moment.

He had come to talk to his dear brother-in-law about the Sawyer elder. However, he overheard the couple’s conversation, and after listening to Nicholas’ words, he thought there was no need for him and Nicholas to talk anymore.

Kieran very quickly made the arrangements the following day to send Remus, Tobias, and Stefania back home.

Before leaving, he even deliberately notified Nicholas, who came to the airport with Tessa in no time to see them off.

Unsurprisingly, Remus still had a problem with the couple, but Tessa wasn’t bothered as Nicholas had successfully taken the load off her mind.

Just then, Stefania came up to Tessa and said plainly, “I’d like to have a word with you in private.”

“What is it that you can’t say here?” Nicholas looked at his mother with furrowed brows, evidently not wanting the two to talk in private.

Stefania was bothered by the fact that her own son was looking defensively at her.

However, she turned a blind eye to him and fixed her gaze on Tessa, who looked at Nicholas with a smile at that. “I’ll be right back.”

Alas, Nicholas could only agree. “Make it quick.”

Tessa nodded in response and turned her head back to Stefania, asking, “Where shall we go?”

Stefania’s gaze on Tessa was filled with incomprehensibly mixed emotions, and it wasn’t until a moment later that she pointed to the seating area aside. “Let’s talk there.”

Tessa nodded in agreement and followed Stefania over.

Of course, Nicholas didn’t feel comfortable about it and kept a close eye on them.

Kieran went up to his brother in the meantime and whispered, “Nic, are you really going to let the two of them talk in private? Are you not afraid of Mom giving Tessa a hard time?”

Nicholas only gave him a side-eye glance in response and turned his attention back to Tessa immediately.

Of course, Stefania noticed her eldest son’s gaze, and she didn’t know what to make of it.

“I really didn’t expect Nicholas to go this far for you.” Stefania sighed after the two sat down.

Tessa looked to the man standing upright not far away upon hearing Stefania’s words, and her lips were laced with a loving smile that didn’t go unnoticed by Stefania. After tucking her emotions away, Stefania got straight to the point. “Miss Reinhart, I have a feeling you don’t know just how intense the pressure you’ll face is if you marry Nicholas. Every massive wealthy family has a complicated network, and the Sawyer Family is no exception. In fact, we are even more complicated than other wealthy families.”

Tessa turned sober at that, and Stefania continued to speak upon noticing the change. “Nicholas’ marriage bears the weight of many things. Someone will eventually come up and use this to make an issue of something.”

Tessa chewed on her lips, not sure what to say.

Though she had never met any of Nicholas’ relatives, she had an idea how serious things could get judging from how grave Stefania sounded.

Even so, she wouldn’t leave Nicholas.

“No matter what, I’ll stay by Nicholas’ side and face the problem with him.” She looked at Stefania with resolution.

The latter wavered when she saw the young woman’s determination, but very quickly, she suppressed it and said indifferently, “I’m not telling you this because of anything. The ship has sailed, after all. It wouldn’t be right of me to continue separating you two. I just hope you can put yourself in Nicholas’ shoes more often and think about what’s good for him, as well as try to talk some sense into him; see that he doesn’t fall out with his family because of this.”

Tessa was a little embarrassed, knowing she had taken things the wrong way. “I’ll try my best to talk some sense into him.”

Stefania nodded in response and looked toward Tessa’s belly, exhorting, “Since you’re pregnant, take good care of yourself and the baby inside you.”
