Chapter 1347

When the group had enough fun teasing Gregory, it was almost time for lunch.

Tessa made everyone stay for the meal.

Lunch was a grand feast. As their family did not abide by the rule to be silent when eating, the room was filled with great cheer.

The men preoccupied themselves with talk of work and finances while the women discussed fashion and music.

The meal was over an hour later.

Kieran and Timothy left right away as they had work waiting for them back in their offices.

On the way back, Sabrina recalled how long the men had spent in the study talking, and could not resist asking. “Is work going to be very busy after today?”

“Probably. Nicholas plans on investing 150 million into the smartwatch project.”

Timothy told her all about their discussion’s result, holding no information back.

She was stunned. “150 million?”

“That sounds a lot. doesn’t it?”

In his eyes, she looked so very cute with her mouth gaping open and bulging eyes.

If he were not driving and they were not in a place he could just stop the car, he would be kissing her by now.

Oblivious to his desires, she dazedly nodded while sighing with envy on the inside.

Nicholas is spending 150 million on a single project. As expected, the Sawyers are extremely rich.

Her thought might be showing on her face though as Timothy chuckled and said, “Nicholas is investing so much in us because he has high expectations for our project.

We have to put our all into it.”

“You’re right. I’ll be there working right beside you.”

His words snapped her back to her senses, and she turned to look at him with eyes blazing with motivation.

Back at the Dynasty Gardens.

Tessa had also found out about Nicholas’ plan to invest 150 million into Timothy’s project.

“Will this be a risky venture?”

She worriedly looked at Nicholas.

He chuckled and pulled her into an embrace. “It won’t be. Trust me.”

She frowned, still thinking he had invested too much in the project. “You don’t need to consider my feelings.”

In her mind, Nicholas only invested so much because of her.

“Don’t overthink it. It has nothing to do with you. Anyway, Timothy is very talented. He is worthy of my trust and money. I would have invested in the project, even if it were anyone else.”

He tried to persuade her once more.

It was only then that she stopped doubting him. She smiled and nodded. “That’s good.

I was worried you were only supporting Timothy because of me. I wouldn’t want you to do that.”

The favoritism he heard in her voice made him smile brightly.

Then, her soft voice rang out once more.

“I don’t expect any of you to earn a lot of money. I just want my dearest family members to be happy. Still, I will support you if that is what you want to do.”

She then turned to look at Nicholas with her arm eyes as her hands deftly straightened up liis clothes. “Don’t go overboard with work though. Please take care to rest and sleep.”

He looked down at her petite form as she continued to mutter her worries. His heart had melted into a puddle by now.

“With you around, I can’t even bear to go back to work.”

He held her hands as he sweetly said that.

And it made her heart race. Embarrassed, she coyly retorted. “Who taught you to be such a flatterer?”

“I don’t need to be taught.”

He smiled as he wrapped liis aims around her once more. No matter how he looked at her, he was utterly besotted with her. His eyes darkened.

Ignorant of the change in liis expression, she continued to urge him to take care.

Perhaps it was because she had just stepped out of the shower, but under the dim lights, her fail’ skin looked rather flush while the scent of her body wash lingered in the air.

Her pink, plump lips opened and closed, making his skin tingle with an itch.

“Honey.”

He suddenly spoke up, interrupting her. His voice was deep and hoarse with a seductive drawl.

It sounded so pleasant that her ears nearly went numb.

“What is it?”

When she looked up, her eyes immediately met liis deep eyes.

The two of them stared at each other. Her bright and innocent eyes were like a spark that destroyed all of Nicholas’ control. He swooped down to kiss her.
