Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 416 You’ll See
“You’ll see whether I can do it or not.” Hayley stared at Tessa sullenly with venomous eyes.
Tessa shuddered involuntarily. Inwardly, she was somewhat scared, but she put on a brave front by standing up and looking down at Hayley. She replied with a sneer, “Miss Stone, it seems that you’re mistaken about one thing. You’re neither Nicholas’ elder nor a person of consequence to him. The matter between Nicholas and me is none of your business. Do you think you can get Nicholas to be with you by threatening me? On the contrary, you’ve only made me feel that you’re a bad loser. So much for the upbringing of a socialite from a respectable family, huh?” With that, she turned around and left right away.
Watching Tessa’s figure disappear from the private room, Hayley got so furious that she overturned the table right away. “I’ll never let you off, you b*tch!” Her angry voice sounded from inside the private room, accompanied by the sound of glass shattering.
Tessa paused in her tracks for a moment before continuing to leave without looking back. After returning to the orchestra, she changed into the spare clothes she had kept there and went back to the practice room. However, it was obvious that she wasn’t in a good mood, so much so that she kept making mistakes while playing the violin during the afternoon training session.
Hathaway stopped Tessa’s performance with a frown. “What’s wrong with you, Tessa? You’re so not yourself today. Are you feeling unwell?”

Since it was something personal, Tessa didn’t want to talk about it. Therefore, she nodded and admitted, “Yeah, I’m feeling a little out of sorts.”
“In that case, I’ll give you half a day off. Go home and rest.” Hathaway didn’t think much about it. Instead, she asked with concern, “Do you need me to send you to the hospital?”
“No, I don’t have to take a day off. I’m not feeling that unwell.” Tessa didn’t want to go back right now. She knew very well that if she were to go home in her present mood, Nicholas would easily notice that something was wrong. “I’m fine, Miss Hathaway. Let’s continue.” With that, she took a deep breath, pulled herself together, and continued her practice.
Unable to dissuade her, Hathaway had no choice but to agree to it.
Meanwhile, Nicholas took Gregory back to the villa; he had made preparations for Remus to be sent back to the country.
Upon seeing Nicholas, Remus let out a snort and pretended not to see him. It could be said that his trip to Vienna was in vain, but he could do nothing about it. Not only was Nicholas determined not to marry Hayley, but he even threatened to rejoin the army.
Noticing that Remus seemed to be angry with Nicholas, Gregory got close to him and acted cute like a spoiled child in every way possible. “Don’t be angry, Great-Grandpa. Uncle Kieran said that being angry will cause wrinkles to form on your face. You have enough wrinkles already, Great-Grandpa. If you get even more wrinkles, you’ll look even less handsome.”
Seeing how the little boy appeased him with a straight face, Remus didn’t know whether to laugh or to frown. Nevertheless, a smile appeared on his face.
Nicholas threw his son a commending look.
A while later, Nicholas sent Remus to the airport.
Before boarding the plane, Remus looked at his most outstanding grandson beside him. He said gloomily, “The Stones have proposed that your engagement to their daughter be called off. Since you’re determined not to marry her, let’s forget about it. I don’t want to force you into it.”
