That Can Be Arranged

Chapter 166

Chapter 166 Shortly after that, Nicholas paused in his tracks, though, and placed his jacket in its original position. Subsequently, he coldly exclaimed, “Ignore him.” “Then again, Young Master Gregory is a growing child and this would be bad for his development.” Andrew expressed his worries. At this moment, Nicholas’s expression darkened, but he steeled himself and said, “He can starve then. Once he feels hungry, he would naturally come out to get some food.” “But-” Andrew was just about to express himself, but Nicholas had already hung up the phone. With a sigh, Andrew could only stand by the entrance and continue to coax Gregory. “Young Master Gregory, stop throwing a tantrum. Come out and eat something. There are your favorite sweet pork ribs for lunch.” However, Gregory ignored him. A resigned Andrew lamented, How can Master Nicholas be so heartless and just let Young Master Gregory starve? Young Master Gregory’s such an adorable child and it would be such a shame if he were to starve for a long time! Ultimately, Gregory didn’t step out of his room for the entire afternoon. Meanwhile, Nicholas stayed back in the office to work, but he was preoccupied for the entire duration.

In the evening, he had left before it was time to clock off from work to head home. As soon as he entered the house, Andrew instantly greeted him, “Master Nicholas, Young Master Gregory hasn’t eaten anything yet and it’s been a whole day.” Then, Nicholas couldn’t help himself from frowning. “Where is he?” “He’s in the music room,” Andrew responded. Nicholas casually flung his suit aside and quickly made his way to the music room. As soon as he entered the doorway, he noticed that Gregory had a violin in his arms and he had fallen asleep on the couch. There were droplets of tears evident on his eyelids while he continued to sniffle even in his sleep. Evidently, he had fallen asleep from the exhaustion of all that crying.

Then, Nicholas patted Gregory. “Wake up. Let’s go and have some food.” “Huh?” At that moment, Gregory was woken up from his sleep and he rubbed his eyes sleepily. As soon as he saw his dad’s face, he immediately responded with a pout. Shortly after that, his expression darkened as he turned his head in the other direction to avoid looking at Nicholas. Meanwhile, Stefania got word of Gregory’s hunger strike, so she hurriedly came over with Tobias and Kieran. The two older adults noticed Gregory clutching his violin as soon as they walked in. Meanwhile, they felt a pang in their hearts upon seeing him sitting on the couch with an aggrieved expression. At this moment, she hurried forward and asked, “My little precious, what’s wrong? Why are you refusing to eat? Did something bad happen to you? Or, is it because Daddy has bullied you? Let me know and I’ll stand up for you.” Kieran quickly added, “Yeah, Greg. I’ll definitely stand on your side too! Tell us what’s wrong. Don’t keep it to yourself. It’s not good to keep everything to yourself.” Subsequently, Tobias coaxed Gregory too. “Greg, you can tell me what happened.” Everyone tried hard and took turns to coax Gregory, but he chose to remain silent as he mechanically toyed with his violin. “Gregory, could you at least say something? Don’t make me worried.” Stefania then hastily reached out to hug him. However, before her hands had even touched him, he immediately pushed her hand aside. Suddenly, the entire music room descended into silence. Stefania was quite affected by his actions. Her heart ached very much as she was quite despondent, but she forced a smile. “Greg, I thought I was your favorite person? Come, let me give you a hug. Tell me what’s affecting you.” However, Gregory kept his head lowered without saying a word as he ignored everyone. At that point, Nicholas lost his temper upon seeing Gregory’s stubborn attitude. “Gregory Sawyer, watch your attitude!”

However, Gregory remained indifferent. Nicholas suddenly flared up and he instantly yelled, “You’re grounded, so go and stand in the corner. Don’t come over until you’ve realized your mistake!” As soon as Gregory heard that, he finally turned his head to look at Nicholas. However, he merely shot a cold, indifferent look at Nicholas and took his violin with him to stand at a corner. His stubborn little figure stood out prominently. Stefania couldn’t bear to see Gregory being punished and she turned to lash out at Nicholas, “Why can’t you talk to him nicely?! Why did you yell at him?! Sweetheart, come over to me.” However, Gregory stood there without moving an inch and he expressed his stubbornness by keeping his back to them. Meanwhile, Kieran was filled with curiosity upon seeing everything and he glanced toward Nicholas while speaking softly, “Gregory must be throwing a tantrum because of Miss Murphy again, right? Why did you fire her again out of nowhere?” As soon as Nicholas heard that, his expression darkened significantly. “She was the one who wanted to leave and I tried to retain her.” “I don’t get this. She’s well-paid and this is such a great opportunity for her to get close to the Little Prince of the Sawyer Family. This is a job that so many others would have fought tooth and nail for! can’t believe that she would actually reject it.”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
