Calling off the Engagement
Upon hearing Kieran’s words, Remus fell silent. I thought that everything I’d done was for Nicholas’
own good, but could the current situation really have been my fault?
Seeing that Remus seemed to have listened to his words, Kieran tried to persuade him further.
However, before he could speak, Remus chased him out of the ward with a wave of his hand. “I want to
have some time alone. Get out of the room, all of you; Andrew, you may stay.”
Kieran and his parents were worried about Remus, but they could only leave the ward as they were
unable to dissuade Remus. Before they left, they didn’t forget to ask Andrew to take good care of
Remus.
With that, silence filled the ward at once. After a long time, Remus’ frail voice rang in the room. “Am I
really wrong?” he said as if mumbling to himself or asking Andrew.
Seeing how Remus looked, Andrew stood aside and persuaded him, saying, “Old Master Sawyer, I’d
say we should let the younger generation carve out their own path in life. Maybe Master Nicholas did
something so extreme because he really had been pushed too hard.”
Upon hearing this, Remus closed his eyes without saying a word.
Seeing Remus’ response, Andrew loyally stayed by his sickbed without saying another word.
Meanwhile, Kieran was stopped and interrogated by his parents again in the hallway. “Kieran, do you
really have no idea where your brother’s been?” Stefania looked at Kieran skeptically.
Standing beside her was Tobias, who fixed Kieran with a warning glare.
Kieran felt a headache coming on when he saw his parents like this. “Dad, Mom, like I said, I don’t
know where Nicholas is. Why wouldn’t you believe me?”
“You don’t know where he is? If you don’t know where he is, why were you speaking for him just now?”
Stefania didn’t believe at all that Kieran didn’t know Nicholas’ whereabouts. “I’m telling you, either you
go and bring Nicholas back at once, or you don’t come back anymore.”
Speechless, Kieran was both upset and aggrieved. Why am I always the one who suffers for the
trouble Nicholas has caused? he thought. Still, he gritted his teeth and insisted, “Like I said, I don’t
know where Nicholas is, so where am I supposed to look for him? Ah, never mind. If you can’t stand
the sight of me at home, just chase me out so that I don’t have to manage the company’s affairs
anymore,” he said in a fit of desperation. In any case, I can’t betray Nicholas no matter what.
Stefania was rendered speechless with anger by his flippant tone of voice. “How dare you—”
Tobias wished he could beat up this son of his, too.
Just then, however, Hayley’s gentle voice rang behind them. “Mr. Sawyer, Mrs. Sawyer, Kieran, why
are you guys standing outside the ward?”
Upon hearing Hayley’s voice, Stefania immediately composed her features and turned around to look
at Hayley with fondness. “What brings you here at such a late hour?” Previously, Hayley had looked
after Remus in the hospital rain or shine, which made the elders of the Sawyer Family grow fond of her.
Therefore, at the moment, the Sawyer Family’s elders treated her as a member of the younger
generation that they found pleasing.
Seeing his mother’s sudden change in countenance, Kieran speechlessly stood aside and rolled his
eyes in secret before staring at Hayley. He also wanted to know why this woman came here.
Pursing her lips slightly, Hayley replied with a pained expression, “I heard that Old Master Sawyer fell ill
again, so I’m here to pay him a visit and have my engagement to Nicholas called off while I’m at it. Is it
convenient for him to see me now?”
Stefania was surprised. “You want to call off the engagement?”
Tobias and Kieran were surprised as well, especially Kieran, who never dreamed that Hayley would
propose calling off the engagement on her own initiative. Isn’t this woman determined to marry no one
else but Nicholas?
Hayley didn’t know what Kieran was thinking, though. Forcing a smile, she pretended to be mature and
magnanimous, saying, “Mrs. Sawyer, I’m not someone who doesn’t know what’s good for me either.
Now that Nicholas has made it clear that he’s unwilling to marry me, if I still insist on marrying him, I’ll
only make myself a laughingstock.”
Upon hearing such words, Stefania and Tobias suddenly felt somewhat sorry for Hayley, who seemed
so sensible and mature. They felt that she really was a good girl, and that it’d be too bad for their son to
let her slip through his fingers. They wanted to persuade Hayley not to call off the engagement at first,
but upon recalling their son’s attitude, they bit back their words of persuasion.
