Chapter 1107 Stefania’s Treasured Collection
“Tessa’s grandma has been diagnosed with cancer, so she returned to the country to take care of her. However, according to my investigation, she’s on bad terms with her grandma.”
Wanda revealed a smile upon hearing the truth from her assistant. “I can’t believe that Tessa has a grandma like that! If word of this gets out, then the Sawyer Family’s reputation would be tarnished. By then, I don’t think anyone in the family would still adore this b*tch.”
As the assistant saw Wanda’s sinister smile, she could not help but shiver in fear.
Meanwhile, Tessa was completely oblivious to Wanda’s plans as she was enjoying her breakfast with Nicholas and Gregory.
During their meal, Nicholas turned to her and asked, “What’s your plan for the day?”
She pondered about it before replying, “I’m planning to go to the hospital.”
“You just did yesterday. What are you visiting again?” Nicholas frowned and seemed to disagree with her decision.
Tessa heaved a sigh in response. “I don’t wanna go to the hospital either, but that old lady there is just… Anyway, I’m obligated to go there and watch over her just in case anything happens.”
She was brought up not to speak ill about someone behind their back. Even so, Nicholas caught on to the underlying meaning behind her words and became even more against the idea. “There are others there to watch over her at the hospital and they’d inform you immediately if there’s any emergency. There is no need for you to visit so frequently.”
“But then, I’m worried that the old lady would harass Tim if I don’t show up,” Tessa expressed her worry.
As soon as Nicholas heard that, he immediately took out his phone and placed a video call to Timothy.
“Nicholas, what makes you call so early in the morning?” On the other end of the line, Timothy looked at Nicholas in confusion.
“I need your help to convince your sister to not go to the hospital.” Then, Nicholas recounted the conversation he had with Tessa right before that.
As soon as Timothy heard that, he agreed vehemently with Nicholas’ suggestion, so he tried to convince her over the phone. “That old lady has a foul temper. Just visit her once every two to three days. What’s the worry?”
He thought, That old hag hates the two of us to the core! If Tessa visits her daily, she will definitely vent her anger on Tessa!
In the end, Tessa gave in to both of them and decided not to head to the hospital. However, she was bored while being cooped up at home, so she ended up bringing Gregory over to the Sawyer Residence to keep Stefania company.
Of course, Stefania was extremely happy to see the mother-and-son duo.
Coincidentally, she was doing some floral arrangements when they arrived, so she invited Tessa to join her. Meanwhile, Gregory sat by the side obediently and helped them by handing them the flowers.
As a result, Tessa and Stefania spent a wondrous morning together.
After lunch, Tessa took a short break and kept Gregory company in the garden as he practiced the violin, whereas Stefania sat by the side with her afternoon tea to observe their interaction.
Ever since Tessa fell pregnant, Stefania had a concern that she kept to herself. After all, Gregory was not Tessa’s biological child, so she was worried that Tessa would distance herself from him now that she was pregnant with another child.
However, after observing their exchange throughout the morning, Stefania could tell that Tessa and Gregory were as close as before and their relationship was unaffected by her pregnancy.
As Stefania remained lost in thoughts, she suddenly realized that the violin music in her ears had stopped. It was then that she noticed that Tessa and Gregory’s practice session had ended.
She glanced over to the mother and son duo, who were interacting happily with each other, and she appeared to have made up her mind about something when she stood up abruptly. “Tessa, come with me.” With that, she turned around and left.
A perplexed Tessa watched as her mother-in-law disappeared in the distance. Just as she was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly felt a slight shove behind her as Gregory’s voice rang out impatiently. “Mommy, hurry up and go over! Grandma’s way ahead.”
As soon as Tessa heard that, she hastily went after Stefania and followed her to the storeroom, which was where Stefania stored her treasured collection of musical instruments. In there were plenty of priceless and exquisite violins.
Meanwhile, Tessa was bewildered upon seeing that and she glanced toward Stefania with a confused look. Why did she bring me here?
Sensing the confusion in Tessa’s eyes, Stefania laughed and explained, “These used to be my favorite violins in the past, so I’ve kept this collection here. I realized they’re being displayed here and not fully utilized, so I might as well gift them to you.”
