Always Been Yours
Chapter 995 New Practice Room Thatâs good. Heâs probably OK since heâs got the energy to shout for help. Nicholas then talked to his father and requested that Kieran answer the call. âYouâre the best, Nicholas. You saved me from a dire situation.â
Kieran was grateful for Nicholas saving him from Stefania and kept buttering up to him. âStop the sweet talk. Tell me how you got kidnapped.â Nicholas raised his hand and massaged his temple. âWell, I donât exactly know how it happened. I was too drunk.â
He stood upright as they talked about the abduction. âThe whole thing was strange. The person who wanted me kidnapped didnât want the kidnappers to hurt me.â
Nicholas narrowed his eyes in puzzlement. It was the first time that he had heard of kidnappers not wanting to harm their hostages. âIf so, go to the bar and find out who carried you out. See who he has been in contact with and the surveillance cameras of the junctions surrounding the bar. Look for the car owner that drove you away, too,â he ordered Kieran, who naturally agreed to get right to it.
After he hung up the phone, Nicholas asked Edward to cancel the flight before turning around to return home. On the other end, the few practice rooms in Sofia Symphony that were burned down had been rebuilt after a few days.
As for Tessaâs practice room, Sofia had specially set a new location for it. After the practice room was done, she notified Tessa to come back for classes with Gregory.
As soon as Tessa received the news, she immediately rushed to the orchestra with Gregory. âGranny Sofia.â Gregory politely greeted her when he saw Sofia. Tessa also greeted her before asking about the orchestraâs current situation.
âDonât worry. Everythingâs settled,â Sofia assured as she briefed her and asked her not to worry. âLetâs go take a look at your new practice room.â
Tessa didnât object to the tour. The new practice room was on the third floor with great lighting.
âIâve asked them to decorate the room like the old one. So take a look and see if anythingâs missing.â
Sofia looked at Tessa endearingly as she asked.
Tessa felt her heart warm at her teacherâs attentiveness. She knew Sofia was worried that she would be unfamiliar with the new environment, so she asked the room to be decorated similarly to the last one.
âThank you, Miss Sofia. Thereâs everything I need.â Gregory also thanked her sensibly.
Since they had no problems with the new practice room, Sofia let them start practicing before leaving, as she also had many things to settle.
However, she invited Tessa and Gregory for lunch before she left, which Tessa accepted.
Time flew by, and soon it was noon, so Tessa brought Gregory to the restaurant.
There were also a few of her other senior apprentices present for lunch.
Tessa was quiet at the table as she kept playing with her food and did not eat much.
Her seniors, who were chatting, realized something was off. âLittle junior, why are you so quiet today?â
âYeah. Whatâs up? It looks like youâve got something on your mind.â
âAre you unwell? You didnât touch your food either.â
âGregoryâs a little quiet too. Did something happen?â They all looked at Tessa and Gregory with concern.
Sofia also felt that Tessa was being exceptionally silent today and asked concernedly, âWhatâs wrong?
Is it because you donât have an appetite?â
Faced with everyoneâs genuine concern, Tessa was just about to say that she was okay before hearing Gregoryâs muffled voice.
âMe and Mommyâs worried about Daddy and Uncle Kieran. Uncle Kieran got kidnapped, so Daddy went back.â
Eunice sprang up when she heard Gregoryâs words. She didnât think that Wanda would be successful.
She suppressed her excitement as she pretended to comfort Tessa like the rest, âIâm sure heâs fine since Mr. Sawyer is so powerful.â
âExactly, Little Junior. Donât be too worried.â
âIf you need it, I can help you too. Iâve got some connections in Xerthania.,â Sofia offered.
Tessa thanked everyone gratefully, but her appetite never returned when she thought of what was happening with the Sawyers.
