Chapter 885
Always Been Yours
Chapter 885 A Commendable Piece âGuess what, guys? Itâs done!â Elated, Tessa took her manuscript and shared the news with her husband and brother.
Nicholasâ gaze was filled with nothing but adoration as he looked at his beloved, elated wife.
Likewise, Timothy congratulated his sister with a smile. âIt looks like you donât have to stress about it anymore.â
Tessa smiled. âDo you guys want to hear it?â
Naturally, they said yes.
Melodious music very quickly resounded through the living room, and Nicholas and Timothy were fascinated by it.
Sometime later, Tessa brought her completed piece to Simonâs.
As pleased as she was with it, she still wanted him to take a look at it.
âMr. Simon, can you please take a look at this piece and tell me what you think about it?â Tessa handed her new piece to him.
âLetâs see it.â Simon put on his reading glasses and checked them out.
As time ticked by, Tessa turned from confident to nervous. Is there still something wrong with my piece?
Just as she was about to ask, Simonâs praise traveled to her ears.
âItâs pretty good. Iâd give this piece a nine out of ten.â The man looked at Tessa with acknowledgment. âThis one is far better than any of the others you have composed in the past. You still need to work hard even if you have reached the threshold, though.â
Tessa was elated, for Simon had never given her such high praise.
âIâll continue to do my best.â She nodded with delight, leading Simon to smile. At that, he briefed her on the flaws of the piece.
Naturally, Tessa took his words seriously.
Later that night, Sofia came to Simonâs place for dinner. âHow well is Tessa doing while learning from you?â she asked while eating.
âYou wonât believe her improvement. She has already reached the point where sheâs able to compose.â Simon praised Tessa with such generosity that shocked Sofia. âAlready?!â
âAbsolutely. Let me show you what she brought over earlier.â With that, he headed into his study and returned with the manuscript in two shakes. âTake a look at this.â
Sofia took the manuscript from him, becoming more amazed the more she read it.
Whoâd have thought Tessa would grow so immensely in such a short time? This girl is far more talented than her six other seniors!
âLooks like Iâve made the right choice to take her under my wings. I wonder what other surprises sheâll bring me next.â Sofia put the manuscript down, very pleased with Tessa.
â¦
The following day, Tessa went to the orchestra for practice.
However, she hadnât practiced for long before Sofia walked up to her.
âHowâs your practice coming along? Are you facing any issues?â Sofia looked at Tessa with concern.
Tessa shook her head after greeting Sofia. âNone at the moment.â
Sofia nodded in acknowledgment, then changed the topic. âI went to Simonâs for dinner last night, and he showed me the piece youâve prepared for the concert. Youâve improved immensely. Keep up the good work.â
After a split-second stump, Tessa beamed as this was very much her teacherâs acknowledgment of her learning outcome.
Because of this, she was in seventh heaven the whole day.
When Tessa returned home, Nicholas smiled as well, seemingly infected by his beloved wifeâs delight.
âDid something good happen? Why are you smiling so brightly?â he asked, curious.
âMiss Sofia said the piece I composed yesterday was very good, and I should keep up the good work,â she answered joyfully.
âSheâs right. That piece is indeed excellent.â Nicholas smiled at Tessa, his raven eyes filled with pride.
Gregory echoed the sentiment with a nod. âYouâre awesome, Mommy.â
Similarly, Timothy was happy for his sister.
Over the next few days, Tessa trained and practiced her piece diligently.
