Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 425

Chapter 425 Baffled Hathaway
Tessa bit her lower lips. With Nicholas soothing her, her emotions gradually stabilized. She was moved to her core as she looked at that handsome and unrivaled man in front of her.
“Thank you, Nicholas.” She buried her face into Nicholas’ chest with a sweet smile on her face.
Thank you for always noticing whenever I’m feeling down, and thank you for always being by my side when I’m in a bad mood.
With a tender expression that had never been seen by others, Nicholas tightened his embrace on the lady. He took a glance at his watch before asking, “It’s almost 10 now. Do you want to go home with me?”
Tessa shook her head before leaving Nicholas’ embrace. “I can’t leave when the party is still ongoing.”
After all, it was the philharmonic’s 20th-anniversary celebration. No one from the ensemble could leave before the party was over.
Nicholas nodded. “Then I’ll wait for you down here.”
However, Tessa was reluctant to let him wait here alone. “How about you go home first? I’ll take a taxi back home after the party is over,” she suggested.

Nicholas gave no reaction and only stared at her in silence. His focused dark eyes were just like an abyss, as though it could suck people right in.
Tessa was left with no other choice but to compromise with the man. “Alright, you can wait if you want, but you’ll have to wait in the car. Since the weather has been cooling lately, I don’t want you catching a cold because of me.”
“Okay,” he answered in a doting tone, the corners of his lips lifting and forming a faint smile.
Soon after, Tessa went back to the party while Nicholas stood alone at the entrance.
His eyes turned gloomy for a moment as his attention was on the direction Tessa had disappeared to.
He thought to himself that it wasn’t all smooth sailing for Tessa as well, and that it wasn’t as good as Tessa had made it out to be, especially when someone was picking a fight with her.
Though it was a competitive industry, it angered him to know someone was using such an underhanded tactic to get ahead of Tessa.
Naturally, what angered him the most was Tessa crying over this matter.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. How dare they bring tears to her eyes when even I am reluctant to do so?
…
Upstairs in a certain lounge room, Hathaway slapped Kathleen in anger.
“How could you have ruined Tessa’s violin? What did she ever do to you?”
Kathleen touched her red cheek with her eyes full of resentment. “Because she seduced Scott!” she bellowed in discontentment.
Hathaway was stunned by her daughter’s reason before frowning unhappily. “Tell me, how did Tessa seduce Scott? Is it just because Scott was teaching Tessa music?”
“It’s different. Scott treats her differently from how he treats me,” Kathleen complained with feelings of being wronged. “Scott always treats Tessa much more patiently and gently than he does with me.”
