Chapter 46
Always Been Yours
After that. Tessa bit her lip before her gaze became determined as she forced herself to be composed.
Then, she returned to the orchestra for her practice.
Nevertheless, her performance during the practice during the entire afternoon wasnât good.
Although Tessa kept telling herself to stop thinking about Gregory, her mind kept wandering back to what happened, and she couldnât help but wonder about his condition nowâ¦
However, every time she pondered to herself, sheâd land in a daze and fail to notice that her violin had gone out of tune.
After a few times of this happening, Trevor couldnât stand it anymore as he frowned and stopped the practice with his hand. âStop, stop, stop!â
The music paused abruptly while he took large strides toward her with a dark look. âTessa, whatâs wrong with you? Why are you acting as if youâve lost your soul?â
Immediately, Tessa returned to her senses and lowered her head. âIâm sorry!â
However, Trevor wasnât satisfied with her reply. âTessa, you need to know that itâs not easy for me to promote you to this position, so you must show your capabilities to everyone so that you can secure your position! If you canât adjust your mindset, thereâs always someone who can replace you here, do you understand me?â
Upon hearing that, Tessa realized that her condition had affected everyoneâs performance, so she quickly nodded. âIâm sorry for making you worried, Mr. Oswald. Donât worry, Iâll stay back tonight and work hard to practice. I wonât let you down.â
He was finally satisfied with her reply and nodded with gratification.
It was during the evening when Gregory woke up groggily in the hospital with a pale look. At that moment, he looked so frail it was heart-wrenching.
When Stefania noticed that he had regained consciousness, she rushed forward almost immediately and hugged him emotionally. âSweetheart, my dear grandson, youâre finally awake! How are you feeling, sweetheart? Do you still feel uncomfortable? Does your stomach still hurt?â she asked in a worried tone.
Then, he lay in her embrace and nodded obediently before he tried to comfort her with his childish voice, âIâm fine, Grandma. Donât worry.â
âItâs good that youâre alright!â
Stefania looked like she had just rediscovered her most valuable treasure and even wanted to keep Gregory under her protection 24/7 so that he wouldnât be harmed again.
On the other hand, he started to look around.
After scanning the entire room, he asked curiously, âGrandma, why is the pretty lady not here? Where is Miss Pretty Lady?â
Right then, the entire room fell silent while Stefania and the others looked shocked. None of them had expected the first person that Gregory would look for was his violin teacher instead of his father or grandparents.
Why is Tessa Reinhart so important to Gregory?
However, no one could understand the reason.
When he saw that everyone was quiet, Gregoryâs bright eyes widened before he turned to Nicholas *Daddy, why Is Miss Pretty Lady not here? Does she not know that Iâm sick?â
Still, Nicholas stared at Gregory lovingly as he couldnât bear to tell Gregory the truth when he saw the expectant look on Gregoryâs face.
There was a gentle look in his eyes as he assured Gregory lightly, âYeah. I was afraid that she might be worried, so I didnât tell her about it. Greg, youâll have to rest well so that she can continue teaching you violin once youâve fully recovered.â
When Gregory heard Nicholasâ words, a smile bloomed across his face before he nodded obediently.
âAlright. Iâll rest well and wait for Miss Pretty Lady to come back.â
At the same time, Stefania felt like her heart was about to break when she heard Gregoryâs words.
Although Gregory was a smart, adorable and lovable child, he never liked interacting with outsiders.
However, when he accepted Tessa, that womanâ¦
Stefania sighed in her heart Even though Nicholas had already explained that Tessa wasnât the perpetrator, she still couldnât help but think that Tessa was the one behind this because there was no one else who could possibly do such a thing. How could that cruel woman betray Gregâs sincerity like this?
As she was upset, she couldnât hold herself back and said, âGreg, letâs stop seeing Miss Reinhart from now on. Isnât Miss Gingham nice to you too? Besides, she can teach you piano too. Miss Gingham was really worried about you when you were sick, so you should hang around with her sometime in the future. Itâll be the same too.â
