Chapter 928 Finding Fault
During class, Sofia was strict toward Tessa. The woman had also managed to pick up a few issues that Tessa had and requested her to practice repeatedly in order to build muscle memory before they moved on.
Although Tessa received earfuls from Sofia throughout the training, she took in everything well since she knew that Sofia only wanted the best for her, which explained why the woman was so strict. Because of that, she trained extra hard without wanting to let Sofia down.
Meanwhile, Gregory was done with his daily practice and left the training room by himself as he didn’t want to disturb Tessa. He headed out and stopped by at the other orchestra members’ training room.
All of the other orchestra members were happy to see Gregory and went up to greet him. “Are you done with your practice, Greg?”
“Where are you going, Greg?”
“Don’t run around, Greg.”
All of them were fond of him, and some of them even shared their snacks with him.
At times like these, Gregory would thank them politely, “Thank you, pretty lady.”
“Oh, you’re so sweet.”
“Yes, and you’re very polite too.”
Everyone was happy to see Gregory, and all of them chatted away happily while laughing. All of a sudden, Eunice walked in. Her gaze darkened when she noticed Gregory standing among them. The sight of him reminded her of Tessa and what the woman had warned her that morning, making her blood boil.
“What’s with all the noise?” She walked over and started scolding, “This is the orchestra, which is a place for you to come to work and practice. It’s not a place for your chatter. Do you think this is a park?”
Everyone was puzzled to hear that, and all of them fell silent.
After scolding the members, she turned over and glared at Gregory before snapping at him, “And you, don’t you know that you shouldn’t be running around during practice? Don’t you know that your presence will disrupt their practice?!”
Poor Gregory trembled with fear while being scolded by Eunice. When he saw how the other orchestra members got scolded because of him, he tried to explain to her softly although he was afraid. “I just got here. Besides, the other orchestra members were having their break when I entered.”
“How dare you argue with me? Although they’re on break, your presence extended their rest time which should have ended ages ago. Do you still dare to say that you’ve not interrupted their practice?” Eunice scolded him relentlessly.
Since what she said made some sense, the usually cheeky Gregory had no grounds to refute it. He pursed his lips as he was troubled by Eunice’s remarks. Have I really disturbed the other orchestra members? he thought to himself.
No one stood up for him, and soon, Eunice started scolding him again. “Why are you quiet now? You seemed to be able to speak really well just now. I don’t know how Tessa brought you up for you to be talking back to adults at such a young age.”
Meanwhile, Tessa was standing outside when she overheard Eunice’s remarks, and her expression darkened. She was out looking for Gregory when she noticed that he wasn’t in the room after her training ended and was surprised to hear Eunice’s harsh scolding as soon as she got there.
“What’s wrong?” She walked into the training room with a grim expression and stopped next to Gregory before staring at Eunice.
Seeing that, Eunice narrowed her gaze as she was overwhelmed with wrath. She was glad that Tessa turned up there as she had been wanting to teach her a lesson after how Tessa had mocked her. While posing at her senior, she started finding fault. “Tessa, I’d like to know whether you teach your child about manners. Not only didn’t he admit to his faults, he even talked back to an adult at such a young age!”
Tessa was furious upon hearing that.
Feeling wronged, poor Gregory tried to explain, “Mommy, I didn’t do that.” He timidly pulled her sleeve while his voice quivered.
Seeing that made Tessa’s heart ache. Even when Gregory did something wrong, she never scolded him that way.
