Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 475

Kathleen was afraid of her mother, so she didn’t say anything in the end. However, Hathaway wasn’t about to let her off the hook yet. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Tessa’s eagerness to learn. You, on the other hand, have been getting lazier and lazier. You even skipped half a day of practice. Do you think you’re that great?” Kathleen pressed her lips shut without saying a word.
After their orchestra practice ended in the evening, all of them went for a meal together. As usual, Tessa was the one who picked their dinner spot. The group chit-chatted with one another, and she was laughing happily at a joke that one of the other members said. The happier Tessa was, the more displeased someone else was. When Kathleen saw the bright smile on Tessa’s face, she felt especially triggered. Then, Kathleen’s gaze darkened further as she glanced at the juice on Tessa’s table.
An idea popped up in her head at that moment. “Tessa,” Kathleen said as she got out of her seat. She headed over to Tessa’s table with a glass of whiskey in her hand. When Tessa saw Kathleen, she knitted her brows slightly. “Is anything the matter?” A few of the people around them also glanced over worriedly. They were afraid that Kathleen would pick a fight with Tessa.
Kathleen pretended as if she couldn’t see the worried looks on other people’s faces. She simply stood in front of Tessa before filling her glass up with alcohol. “I’m sorry,” Kathleen uttered sincerely. “I was too hot-headed this afternoon, so I’m here to apologize to you.”

Tessa wasn’t the only one who was shocked upon hearing Kathleen’s words—the rest of the people around them were just as surprised. Did Kathleen just apologize to Tessa? Is she still the Kathleen we know?
Naturally, Kathleen noticed the dumbfounded looks on everyone’s faces. However, she didn’t seem to care much about them. She beamed when she realized that Tessa didn’t have an alcohol glass for herself. “Oh, dear. I didn’t even realize that you don’t have a glass. Hold on. Let me get you a drink.” When Tessa saw Kathleen moving over to get her a glass, she hastily stopped Kathleen. “It’s fine. I’m drinking juice.”
Kathleen’s eyes glinted before she spoke when she heard Tessa’s words. “Are you trying to disrespect me by rejecting my drink, Tessa?” Kathleen twisted her face into a frown as she glared at Tessa.
Tessa felt rather uneasy to see the change in Kathleen’s expression, but she tried her best to remain patient. “That wasn’t my intention,” she explained.
“If that wasn’t your intention, then do you think it’s right for you to drink juice while I drank alcohol for my apology?” Kathleen asked. So, Tessa had no choice but to explain herself again when she saw that Kathleen wasn’t willing to let this slide. “It’s not the right time for me to drink alcohol now,” Tessa stated.
“I don’t think it’s about the timing. You just don’t want to drink with me, right?” Tessa felt rather annoyed by how pushy Kathleen was. Since Tessa didn’t want to ruin their dinner, she finally gave in and drank two glasses of alcohol. Cough cough…The burning sensation in Tessa’s throat made her cough a few times, and her pale face turned visibly red under the bright lights.
