Chapter 1047 Nicholas’ Role in Tessa’s Success
Tessa looked at Nicholas with glittery eyes. All of this used to only be my wildest dreams.
As soon as Nicholas noticed this, his voice turned more tender than ever. “You’ve worked hard to gain all this. So, congratulations. You’re one step closer to realizing your dreams.”
“Although this is the result of my hard work, I reckon that you played a part in this too.”
Tessa wrapped her arms around Nicholas’ neck and spoke with gratitude, “If it wasn’t for your unconditional support, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve all this today. So, thank you, darling.”
“Shouldn’t you express your gratitude by doing something else for me?” Nicholas lifted his brows slightly and enticed Tessa with a hoarse voice.
Naturally, Tessa grasped the underlying meaning behind his words. Although she felt shy about that, she went forward on her own accord and kissed him.
The two remained in an embrace as they kissed passionately under the lights. Yet not long after that, Nicholas curbed himself and released Tessa. After all, she was pregnant right now and he could not do anything.
Glancing at the man with a look of forbearance, she felt amused yet touched at the same time. She switched the topic and asked, “During the special performance, can I arrange for Dad, Mom, and Grandpa to come and watch?”
“Of course! I’ll invite them then,” Nicholas agreed without any hesitation.
At that moment, Tessa buried her face into his chest with a touched look. “You’re such a nice guy, aren’t you?”
“Well, that’s all because I’m only nice to you.” Nicholas lowered his head and kissed his wife on her forehead while saying enticingly, “Let’s go to bed. It’s getting late now and you’ve got your ensemble practice tomorrow, right?”
Tessa nodded and lifted her head to plant a kiss on his cheek.
“Good night.”
“Good night.”
…
The next day, Tessa kept Nicholas company and they had breakfast together before she brought Gregory to the orchestra.
Before they left, she also brought along the snacks and drinks that the kitchen staff specially prepared for them. That was because she planned to visit Group Two.
Although she did not directly cause the entire second orchestra group to be banned from performing, it was still more or less related to her, so she felt bad about it.
After she entered the room, the members of Group Two were surprised to see her.
“Tessa, why are you here?” Everyone crowded over toward her.
Tessa held Gregory’s hand and smiled. “I came over to visit you guys and I’ve brought along some refreshments for you. Have you guys had breakfast? If you have, then you can leave these for afternoon tea.” As she spoke, she indicated for the servant behind her to come forward and distribute the refreshments. Gregory helped too as he milled around the crowd like a busy bee.
“Hi, pretty lady. This is for you.”
“Thanks, Greg. You’re such a great kid.”
Everyone who received the refreshments praised him.
After distributing the refreshments, Tessa also took the opportunity to ask about Group Two’s current predicament.
“Did Miss Hathaway mention any further arrangements for Group Two? When will you guys resume performance?”
“Our performance might not resume anytime soon. Miss Sofia has been guiding us personally over this period. I reckon that she plans to get us to keep a low profile for the time being before we make a comeback.” The assistant concertmaster of Group Two smiled as he brought up the recent situation.
After Tessa heard that, she realized that Group Two was in a good state, so she finally felt much more at ease than before.
Around noontime, Sofia came over to seek her and handed over a stack of invitation cards to Tessa. “This is the invitation card customized by the orchestra and I’ll hand you a stack for now so you can distribute it to the people you want to invite. If this isn’t enough, you can get some more from me afterwards.”
“That didn’t take long at all. Thanks, Miss Sofia.” Tessa happily put away the invitation cards.
Meanwhile, Sofia gave some further advice before leaving to attend to her personal matters after which Tessa left to send Gregory to his home tutoring as well.
After lunch, Tessa considered the situation for a moment before bringing her violin to visit Louis.
Surprisingly, she had just alighted from the car when she bumped into Angus, who had just gotten out of his car too.
“Mr. Angus, it’s been awhile since we saw each other,” she greeted him on her own accord.
Angus looked at the smile on her face and his gaze remained on her prominent baby bump with a strange look on his countenance.
In a blink of an eye, he restored his mild-mannered look and revealed a courteous smile. “It’s been awhile indeed, Miss Reinhart.”
