Chapter 802

Chapter 802 Love and Dreams “I’ll be waiting for your return.”

Mona then talked about some ongoing affairs about the orchestra before hanging up.

Placing her phone down, Tessa sighed after thinking about the current state of the orchestra.

With Kathleen’s position vacant, they need to look for another violinist.

Nicholas, who did not know all this, did overhear their conversation as he asked, “Are you going back?”

“Miss Hathaway’s already back. Besides, you are almost healed by now, so it’s time for me to leave.” Tessa nodded with a tone of reluctance.

Even though he could not bear to let her go, he knew that his wife still had a dream to fulfill and he was not about to get in her way.

“When are you going to leave? I’ll have Edward to help you book a flight ticket.”

“Tomorrow, I guess. If I leave earlier, we can reunite quicker next time too.”

Tessa, who gave out a time without hesitation, feared that she might find herself not wanting to leave if she continued to stay for a few more days.

The understanding man then gave Edward a call.

It was just then when Gregory’s class ended as he heard his father calling someone.

“Are you leaving, Mommy?”

Dashing to his mother, he had a face full of sadness. “Mommy, I don’t want you to leave.”

Filled with reluctance, she replied, “Sweetheart, I can’t bear to leave you either, but I—”

Yet, before she could finish her sentence, the sensible Gregory had said it for her.

“I know. Since you need to fulfill your dream, I will support you, Mommy.”

Seeing how sensible her son made Tessa teary-eyed as she became more reluctant to depart.

Even though she wanted to stay with Gregory and Nicholas, logic still triumphed over love in the end.

…

Next day morning, they departed for the airport after breakfast.

Timothy also managed to make it to see her off.

In the boarding room, Gregory was bawling his eyes out.

Although he seemed as sensible as could be yesterday, he still felt very sad upon seeing his mother leave.

“Mommy, remember to take good care of yourself.”

He reminded Tessa while sniffling, making her heart ache as she quickly hugged and comforted him, “Now, now, Gregory. I’ll come back to see you whenever I have the time. If you really miss me, you can ask Daddy to bring you to visit me too.”

It was only after coaxing him for a while did the boy calm down.

She handed him over to Nicholas before stating, “When I’m gone, remember to apply the medicine on time and don’t overwork yourself. Also, eat your meals regularly. I will let Timothy watch over you.”

It was the second day when she reached Vienna.

Getting off the airplane, Tessa saw that the chauffeur of their family was already waiting outside the airport.

She then sent a text message stating that she had safely arrived to Nicholas and Timothy after she entered the car.

After arranging everything and taking a breather, she went to the orchestra in the afternoon.

Upon arrival, she saw a busy Hathaway that looked rather haggard and tired.

She also saw Tessa as her gaze was filled with mixed emotions.

“You’re back, I see.”

“I am.” Tessa nodded.

Looking not all too happy, Hathaway stated bluntly, “Well, the violin’s not going to play itself. Go get started.”

She ignored Tessa after that, for a distant aura emanated from her.

Naturally, Tessa felt that she was a lot colder to her as she felt upset inside.

It was then a few people who were normally in Kathleen’s clique came over.

At the sight of Tessa, their gazes turned hostile.

“Someone sure is thick-skinned. They even have the cheek to come back after landing someone else’s daughter into prison.”

“Would she have become the first violinist of Group Two had she not been shameless?”

“If it were me, I would’ve quit a long time ago. After all, I have some dignity.”

These insults darkened Tessa’s expression as those people left after they were done calling names.
