Chapter 830 An Invitation From the World-Class Violinist
Tessa had a nightmare in the middle of the night for no apparent reason.
In the dream, Kathleen was strangling her with a terrifying pale face.
“Tessa, give me my life back…”
“No… Leave my child alone.” Tessa shook her head uncomfortably on the bed and her forehead was drenched in cold sweat.
Nicholas was startled awake by her panicked murmur. When he saw this, he took her into his arms immediately and worriedly asked, “Nightmare?”
“In my dream, Kathleen came to me seeking vengeance and was plotting to murder our children.” Tessa clutched his arm tightly, terrified.
“Okay, it’s alright. I’m here for you. I will not let anyone harm you or our children,” he reassured his trembling wife.
Next, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
She lightly nodded, but she could not sleep for a while as she was still troubled. With no other choice, the loving husband could only hug her repeatedly to comfort her and it took him a long time to get her to sleep.
…
Tessa awoke the next morning in good spirits as if she had forgotten what had happened the night before.
Nicholas exhaled a sigh of relief as he looked at her. He was worried that the nightmare last night would have an impact on her mood.
After breakfast, he went to the company while Tessa brought Gregory to the piano room to practice.
Later, she was surprised to receive a phone call from Louis.
“Mr. Louis, to what do I owe the pleasure?”
“What? You truly leave me speechless. It’s fine that you didn’t inform me about what was going on, but how could you have left without saying a goodbye? Do I not matter to you anymore?”
Although it sounded like he was chiding her on the phone, his words were filled with concern.
Knowing Louis’ character well, she did not mind at all; in fact, she was delighted by his concern.
“Well, I didn’t want to bother you.” She asked with a coquettish smile, “You must be looking for me because of something, right?”
He snorted as he realized she was intentionally changing the subject, but he still explained the reason for the call.
“Your better days are coming. Sofia would like to see you.”
“Sofia… The Sofia??” Tessa was a little out of her mind.
That was because Sofia was a world-class violinist and even a level higher than Hathaway! Despite the fact that she was now retired, her influence was enormous!
“You’re right. It’s her.”
“She wants to invite you to the orchestra. If you are available, I can assist you in arranging a meeting time,” Louis said, slightly nodding.
As much as Tessa was moved when she heard this, she hesitated. “I think I could only give you an answer by tonight.”
Aware of her situation, he did not press the issue, but urged regardless, “I finally invited her after much deliberation, so you must seize this opportunity!”
When Nicholas returned that night, he found his wife distracted.
He did not, however, inquire right away; instead, he dined with his family.
Tessa returned to her room later that night after putting Gregory to sleep.
Unexpectedly, she fell into a reassuring embrace as soon as she walked into the room.
“What’s the matter?” she inquired, smiling and hugging Nicholas in front of her.
“I should be asking that. What’s the matter with you? When I got home tonight, you were looking down.” He released her from his embrace and turned to face her.
She smiled, for she thought she had successfully masked her emotions, but she did not expect Nicholas to see right through it.
He approached a smiling Tessa again and asked with his low magnetic voice, “Tell me what happened, hm?”
