Chapter 838 The Sawyer Family’s Response
Nicholas was stunned. “You’ve become her apprentice as well?”
Seeing his response, Tessa smilingly told him how Gregory had become Sofia’s apprentice.
Nicholas frowned slightly after listening to her story. “Doesn’t that mean Greg is gonna live abroad for a long time?”
“That’s right. It’ll be just the two of us here in the future,” Tessa replied with a grin.
Gregory also looked very happy beside her.
After formally acknowledging Sofia as her teacher, Tessa decided to settle down in Vienna with Gregory.
Of course, the older members of the Sawyer Family soon learned about this. They were very displeased, especially Remus, who was the angriest among them. “What is this Tessa lady up to? How dare she abduct Greg abroad and settle down there? She must have an ax to grind!”
After throwing a hissy fit at home, he had Ian summon Nicholas, Kieran, Tobias, and Stefania to the Sawyer Residence. “The Sawyer Family’s eldest great-grandson is supposed to learn business management and inherit the family business in the future. But this Tessa lady let Greg take violin lessons to make him uneducated. The way I see it, she’s up to no good!” he said while banging the ground with his walking stick to vent his anger.
Kieran was utterly speechless. All she does is let Greg take violin lessons. How is that making Greg uneducated? And how is that up to no good? Of course, he dared not say these words out loud.
Nicholas also knitted his brows, feeling that Remus’ words were very uncomfortable to hear. “I’ve asked Greg about it. He’s the one who wants to learn how to play the violin, so it has nothing to do with Tessa.” He defended his wife without forgetting to argue for an opportunity for his son. “And besides, Greg has a considerable gift for music. Since he’s interested in it, we shouldn’t neglect his talent.”
“I think Nicholas is right. Greg is still little right now, so it’s not a big deal to let him learn what he’s interested in.” Kieran joined in the persuasion. He persuaded, “And besides, Nicholas and I also learned all kinds of skills together when we were little. We can arrange other lessons for Greg when he grows older, so he won’t be kept from what he’s supposed to learn.”
Upon hearing this, Remus immediately glared at him grumpily. “What gives you the right to speak here? Shut up!”
Speechless, Kieran had no choice but to shut up in embarrassment. He felt aggrieved at being told off, but he dared not challenge Remus’ authority either.
Remus’ face showed a look of disgust after he finished reprimanding Kieran. “And besides, even if Greg has to learn something, he shouldn’t be learning from that Tessa woman. What could she teach him?”
Unsurprisingly, Nicholas’ face darkened the instant Remus said so. “Grandpa, Tessa is a great woman, and she’s approved of by many well-known performers.”
“So what if she’s gained their approval? I’ve not seen her achieve anything whatsoever,” Remus retorted with a snort. In any case, he despised Tessa in every regard.
At this moment, Tobias and Stefania, both of whom had been silent all this while, also came forward to express their opinion. “I also don’t agree to let Greg live abroad with that lady. She’s pregnant herself; how could she take good care of Greg?” asked Tobias.
Stefania also chimed in with a nod, “Greg usually lives with you, so I can visit him at Dynasty Gardens whenever I miss him. Now that he’s abroad, what should we do if I miss him? We can’t put our work aside and go abroad regardless of everything, can we?”
Pursing his lips slightly, Nicholas replied in an unwavering tone, “This matter is decided, so it can’t be changed. And besides, the one teaching Greg isn’t Tessa, but her mentor.” He paused for a moment before telling them how Gregory had become an apprentice. “That mentor also noticed Greg’s talent and wanted to appreciate it. Come to speak of it, that mentor is someone you like as well, Mom.”
Stefania was stunned. “Someone I like?”
Nicholas nodded. “That’s right. She’s Sofia Morris, your favorite performer.”
This time, it was Stefania’s turn to be dumbstruck. To think that Tessa has become the apprentice of this big name! In an instant, she dismissed her inner misgivings. After all, Sofia was a world-famous musician who wouldn’t necessarily agree to perform no matter how much she’d be paid.
