Chapter 387 Performance Ends
A beautiful tune filled the air of Wiener Musikverein. Tessa immersed herself in the world of music, playing the violin with her eyes closed. She was elegant, sacred, and the most brilliant being in the hall at that moment.
Nicholas watched her performance unblinkingly, his eyes drawing in anything and everything near him. When the performance was done, Nicholas clapped for her.
Tessa put her violin down, and a smile curled her lips. “So, how was it?”
“Great.” Nicholas looked at her lovingly, his voice filled with tenderness. “You’ll have the stage for a whole hour.”
Tessa was touched, and her eyes were filled with tears. Then she remembered something, and she smiled. “Since you’ve given me a surprise, I have a surprise for you as well.”
Nicholas arched his eyebrow.
She continued, “I have been composing a new piece lately, and it’s for you.” She started blushing, but she was still looking at Nicholas. “I’ll play it for you now. Do you want to hear it?”
“Of course. It’s a gift from you.” He looked at her, surprised. Nicholas didn’t expect her to compose a piece for him.
Tessa didn’t know he was surprised. After she got his answer, she held her violin up again, and a moment later, a soothing tune filled the air. It was as if a woman was whispering into her lover’s ears. Tessa was playing the violin, but her eyes never left Nicholas.
Nicholas gazed back at her as well, and love started to rise in the air. It was as if they were the only ones left in this world. The performance was over a moment later, but their gazes were still locked. Nicholas leaped up onto the stage and slowly walked toward Tessa, his eyes filled with happiness.
She stared at him dumbly, and her heart skipped a beat. In the next moment, she was pulled into his warm embrace, and before she could react, he was already kissing her. The kiss was gentle, though it did catch her by surprise. But a moment later, she hugged him back and responded to his kiss.
The love was almost palpable, and a long, long while later, Nicholas finally let her go when she was about to suffocate.
He brushed his hand across her pink cheeks, whispering, “I love that surprise. I know you can stand on this stage one day with your skills.”
Tessa looked up at him, and she met his loving gaze. Tears fell down her cheeks, and she sniffled. “I will. And thank you for letting me have a taste of my dreams tonight.”
Nicholas chuckled, and he wiped her tears away. “It’s fine. I wanted to do this for you.”
Tessa was so touched, she didn’t know what to say. She stared at him, her heart filled with joy and love.
Nicholas said nothing. He took her to the piano and said gently, “Let’s play a piece together. I’ll play the piano, while you play the violin, alright?”
“You can play the piano?” Her eyes widened in surprise. She had seen Gregory play the piano before, but never Nicholas.
Nicholas cocked his eyebrow. “Where do you think Gregory got his piano skills from?”
Tessa shut up and changed the topic. “So what are we playing?”
“How about Atimeforus? The one you taught Greg?”
