Timothy discretely winked at Tessa when he said that. Tessa froze for a moment before she realized that Timothy hoped that she would lead Sabrina away.
Fortunately, Sabrina didn’t notice anything unusual during Tessa’s momentary lapse since she did say that she was curious about Tessa’s music room. Thus, Tessa didn’t say anything otherwise as she brought Sabrina to the music room.
Nevertheless, Nicholas didn’t miss the sibling’s silent interaction. So, once the two women had left the living room, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Timothy in amusement. “Is there something you want to tell me?”
“Nicholas, I want to propose to Sabrina.” Timothy went straight to the point. “But I don’t know what I should do or prepare, so I want to ask you how you proposed to Tess back then.”
Nicholas was a little surprised when he heard that. Even so, he didn’t hide the truth from Timothy. Therefore, he frankly told Timothy about the preparations he did for his proposal all those years ago. Toward the end, he asked, “So, that’s what I did. What about you? What do you have in mind?”
“My original plan is to propose to Sabrina tomorrow evening after Tess finishes her performance while everyone is there. After all, the more, the merrier. Then, we will have a grand wedding after I graduate. She has been waiting for me for two whole years. I don’t want to keep her waiting for me any longer than that. Timothy expressed his thoughts.
Timothy’s well-thought-out plan surprised Nicholas. I didn’t expect Timothy to have gone as far as thinking about holding a wedding. Speaking of weddings, this also reminds me that I still owe Tessa a wedding. Due to our circumstances, Tessa and I only registered our marriage license and never had a proper wedding.
A slight sense of guilt suddenly crept in as Nicholas thought of this. I can’t believe I had forgotten this matter in the past two years. Nicholas mulled over Timothy’s words before finally saying, “I will ask Edward to help you make the arrangements for tomorrow’s proposal. I will also be informing Tessa about it.
“Thanks, Nicholas.” Timothy expressed his gratitude joyously. Nicholas waved a hand to dismiss his thanks. “It’s nothing. Besides, I have something to discuss with you.”
“What is it?” Timothy asked. “Tessa and I didn’t have a wedding when we got married back then, so I want to make it up to her. I want our weddings to be held at the same time, and I plan to surprise Tessa with this matter.” Nicholas conveyed his intentions. Timothy naturally agreed to Nicholas’ idea. “That is good news. Don’t worry. Your secret is safe with me.”
Afterward, the two began discussing the details of tomorrow’s proposal and some other things about the joint wedding. On the other hand, Tessa and Sabrina were clueless about what their significant others were planning.
Currently, in the music room, Sabrina was astounded when she saw Tessa’s vast violin collection. “Tess, you probably spent a lot of time collecting these violins, right?”
“Not quite. In truth, a number of the violins in this room are my mother-in-law’s previous collection, which she passed to me later. In addition, Nicholas and you all have gifted me violins from time to time in the past two years. That is why there are so many violins in this room.
In the meantime, the conversation between Timothy and Nicholas was still going strong. After they discussed the wedding details, Timothy suddenly remembered the incident relating to Gregory. Therefore, he stared straight into Nicholas’ eyes and asked, “Nicholas, when will you tell Tess the truth about Greg?”
“I will find a chance to tell her after she realizes her dream.” Nicholas already had a plan in mind regarding this matter. Timothy nodded and didn’t press the issue any further. Then, the two talked for a while before they got up and went to find Tessa and Sabrina. After that, they went back to their rooms.
Once they were in the room, Tessa swiveled her head and looked at the man next to her. She could no longer restrain her curiosity as she questioned, “Did something happen? Why did Timothy hint me to take Sabrina away?”
“He plans to propose to Sabrina after your performance ends tomorrow, so he was asking me for advice.” Nicholas was frank with Tessa and briefly told her the content of his discussion with Timothy earlier.
Tessa was initially surprised by her brother’s plan since he had never told her about his plans regarding his marriage. Still, after she gave it some thought, she figured it was about time. Besides, Timothy and Sabrina have been together for three years. They should settle down and have a family of their own. “Then, what’s the plan? Do you need my help?”
she asked curiously. Nicholas nodded and said, “We do need your help with one particular segment.” Hence, he told Tessa Timothy’s detailed plan regarding his proposal.
Tessa listened attentively before answering, “Got it. I will act in concert with the plan as well. I’ll also inform the others to do the same tomorrow evening.”
