Chapter 34

It seems that the little boy was no longer angry about what had happened last night and was rather elated now.

Tessa breathed a sigh of relief as she thought that Gregory would ignore her today. Then, she started the violin lesson.

in the second lesson, she mainly taught him how to hold the violin and bow as well as the posture of carrying the instrument. The little boy was intelligent and a quick learner; he had almost completely mastered these basic skills in the span of one morning. Seeing that his learning progress was fast, she then began to teach him the most basic tunes.

Surprisingly, the little boy was quite accurate and learned very well when he repeated the tunes.

At the same time, in the Sawyer Residence, Roselle thought about going to Nicholas’ private villa early in the morning. She had been thinking about Tessa’s stay there last night and was so jealous that she hardly slept.

Slightly after breakfast, Stefania asked both Roselle and her mother, “You guys just came back, so do you want to go out? Southend has changed a lot over the years.”

Roselle thought about it and smiled elegantly. “Let’s go to Dynasty Gardens. Greg didn’t take the gift that I gave to him last night. Why don’t we give it to him there?”

Stefania thought that she could also head over to see how Gregory behaved in class, so she agreed.

Soon, the three of them went to Dynasty Gardens together. It was already 12:00PM and Nicholas had finished the work at hand by this time. Therefore, he drove back to the villa. He had an extremely distant relationship with Gregory a few years ago because he had been away from home working. In a later attempt to be closer to Gregory, Nicholas had returned home almost every day to have lunch with the boy. Even if he was swarmed with work and could not find time to do so, he would also inform Gregory in advance.

When Tessa learned about what Nicholas did, she felt that he was a good father. Nonetheless, the little boy seemed to still be angry at his father.

“Are you still angry?” Nicholas saw that the little boy was still upset when he returned.

However, Gregory ignored Nicholas with a sullen face. “Hmph!”

A puzzled Tessa couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong? Are you two having a conflict?”

Nicholas helplessly replied, “You didn’t stay over last night, so he blames me for not persuading you to stay.”

Tessa was startled when she heard this. When she came over in the morning, Gregory was ecstatic, so she thought the little boy was already fine with it. Unexpectedly, he had actually vented all his anger on his father.

She hurriedly handed some vegetables to Gregory and gently comforted, “Sweetheart, don’t be angry.

Since I’ll be here every day, you can still see me. Isn’t it the same?”

Gregory puffed out his cheeks and responded, “It’s different. I want to see you every moment. When I grow up, I will marry you and let you accompany me every day.”

way.

At this, she almost choked and couldn’t help laughing before saying, “Greg, I’m elated. It’s just that when you’re finally an adult, I would already be an old hag.”

He shook his head and said firmly, “No way, you’re the most beautiful in the world and will remain as the prettiest!”

Tessa pursed her lips slightly and smiled even more. “You are good at compliments! However, it’s really unlikely that I can live here. Do you understand that?”

The little boy’s face suddenly sank as he was extremely disappointed, but thinking that Tessa also had her own things to attend to, he nodded. “I know that you’re very busy and I don’t want to be annoying either, but…”

He trailed off before expectantly adding, “Miss Pretty Lady, can you live here occasionally? It’s just for some of the days. I don’t have a mommy, and my friends in kindergarten say that when they head to bed at night, their mommies will tell them bedtime stories… I’m the only one who doesn’t get to experience that, which makes me so envious of them.”

The little boy’s expression was miserable as his eyes reddened.
