Chapter 885

Chapter 885 A Commendable Piece “Guess what, guys? It’s done!” Elated, Tessa took her manuscript and shared the news with her husband and brother.

Nicholas’ gaze was filled with nothing but adoration as he looked at his beloved, elated wife.

Likewise, Timothy congratulated his sister with a smile. “It looks like you don’t have to stress about it anymore.”

Tessa smiled. “Do you guys want to hear it?”

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 Simon’s.

As pleased as she was with it, she still wanted him to take a look at it.

“Mr. Simon, can you please take a look at this piece and tell me what you think about it?” Tessa handed her new piece to him.

“Let’s see it.” 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, Simon’s praise traveled to her ears.

“It’s pretty good. I’d give this piece a nine out of ten.” The man looked at Tessa with acknowledgment. “This 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.”

Tessa was elated, for Simon had never given her such high praise.

“I’ll continue to do my best.” 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 Simon’s place for dinner. “How well is Tessa doing while learning from you?” she asked while eating.

“You won’t believe her improvement. She has already reached the point where she’s able to compose.” Simon praised Tessa with such generosity that shocked Sofia. “Already?!”

“Absolutely. Let me show you what she brought over earlier.” With that, he headed into his study and returned with the manuscript in two shakes. “Take a look at this.”

Sofia took the manuscript from him, becoming more amazed the more she read it.

Who’d have thought Tessa would grow so immensely in such a short time? This girl is far more talented than her six other seniors!

“Looks like I’ve made the right choice to take her under my wings. I wonder what other surprises she’ll bring me next.” Sofia put the manuscript down, very pleased with Tessa.

…

The following day, Tessa went to the orchestra for practice.

However, she hadn’t practiced for long before Sofia walked up to her.

“How’s your practice coming along? Are you facing any issues?” Sofia looked at Tessa with concern.

Tessa shook her head after greeting Sofia. “None at the moment.”

Sofia nodded in acknowledgment, then changed the topic. “I went to Simon’s for dinner last night, and he showed me the piece you’ve prepared for the concert. You’ve improved immensely. Keep up the good work.”

After a split-second stump, Tessa beamed as this was very much her teacher’s 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 wife’s delight.

“Did something good happen? Why are you smiling so brightly?” he asked, curious.

“Miss Sofia said the piece I composed yesterday was very good, and I should keep up the good work,” she answered joyfully.

“She’s right. That piece is indeed excellent.” Nicholas smiled at Tessa, his raven eyes filled with pride.

Gregory echoed the sentiment with a nod. “You’re awesome, Mommy.”

Similarly, Timothy was happy for his sister.

Over the next few days, Tessa trained and practiced her piece diligently.
