Chapter 873 Contempt
Wanda looked at Nicholas shyly when she heard what her grandpa said to him. Of course, he noticed
her gaze and had a deeper frown.
“You’re too modest, Mr. Muller. Actually, Miss Muller is still quite capable, and I think if she focuses
more on her work, she can do even better.”
Horace was taken aback by Nicholas’ icy detachment of tone. Naturally, he also understood what he
was implying. He looked at Wanda with doubts before realizing that his granddaughter had a sullen
expression and appeared to be in a bad mood. Something had clearly happened between the two.
Remus, too, came to the same conclusion.
The atmosphere seemed to freeze in the brightly lit restaurant. Horace looked curiously between his
granddaughter and Nicholas.
“Nicholas, did Wanda do something she wasn’t supposed to?” he asked with a frown.
“No, I’m just giving a suggestion.” Nicholas had no desire to elaborate further.
Horace intuitively comprehended this, so he did not inquire further. The atmosphere became awkward
once more. When Wanda saw this, she abandoned her gloomy disposition and took the initiative to
relax the tense atmosphere.
“Nicholas is right. I will devote all of my future efforts to work.”
Horace’s heart ached for her as he saw her humility and eagerness to learn. Simultaneously, he began
to be dissatisfied with Nicholas. On the other hand, Remus seemed to have guessed something, and
he felt sorry for Wanda. He smirked at Nicholas, warning him not to say anything stupid again. Seeing
that, Nicholas didn’t give it any thought as he carried on eating.
When Remus saw that, he stopped paying attention to him and switched to a friendly smile. “Don’t
mind him, Wanda.”
Wanda looked at Nicholas, who had a frown on his face. She nodded slightly but was incredibly upset
on the inside.
They left the restaurant after they finished their meal.
“Nicholas, send Mr. Muller and Wanda home,” Remus instructed him.
She looked at Nicholas expectantly after hearing that.
Nicholas, however, was indifferent.
He was well aware of what his grandpa was planning and declined coldly. “I still have some work to do.
I’ll arrange for a driver to send you two home.”
He had intended the last sentence to be directed at Horace and Wanda.
Wanda was disappointed, but she also knew that her recent actions had incited Nicholas’ rage, which
was how things had come to be the way they were now.
Attempting to alleviate the tension, she politely declined and said, “Thank you for your generosity,
Nicholas and Mr. Sawyer. However, I just arranged for a driver to pick my grandfather and me up.”
“If that’s the case, I’m returning to work right now.”
With that, Nicholas left straightaway.
Remus was enraged when he saw this. If not for the presence of his old friend, he would have called
Nicholas and given him a stern talking-to.
Horace sat in the car on the way back with a solemn expression. He frowned deeply when he
remembered Nicholas’ demeanor at the restaurant entrance. Logically speaking, he should not have
behaved in such a manner.
As he reflected, he remembered Nicholas’ poignant words at the table. He turned around and asked,
“Wanda, did anything happen between you and Nicholas?”
She was stunned for a few moments, her eyes gleaming. “Why do you ask, Grandpa?”
Horace gave her a look that confirmed his suspicions.
“What exactly happened?”
Wanda pursed her lips slightly before revealing Tessa’s existence.
“In fact, Nicholas always had a woman by his side. Even though she is currently abroad, she is the
person he loves. It’s because of this woman that there are no more chances between Nicholas and
me,” she said, her voice tinged with disappointment.
He had never before witnessed his granddaughter so crestfallen, so his discontent with Nicholas turned
into anger.
Horace felt that Nicholas did not know what was best for himself. Wanda didn’t mind that Nicholas had
a son, but he regarded her with contempt and even fell in love with another woman.
