Chapter 554
“I hope your words will come true!” Tessa’s grin widened when she saw Mona cheering for her.
The two girls chatted for a while more before Mona headed off for practice. That night. Tessa arrived home a little later than usual because she slightly extended her training hours, so it was nearly 9.00PM by the time she arrived home and freshened up.
She had just finished showering when Nicholas video-called her. His gaze darkened when he saw the girl whose cheeks were still flushed from the warm bath she had taken. At that moment, he truly wished he had told her to stay in the country with him back then. He missed her so badly that he could feel it in his bones.
However, he tried his best to suppress the emotions he felt as he addressed her in a somewhat husky voice. “Why are you home so late today?”
“I extended my practice hours, so I’ll probably be home at this hour from now on.” Tessa didn’t realize the odd look on the man’s face and she began blabbering about her current situation. “I’m afraid I won’t have much time to chat with you in the upcoming weeks,” she told him.

“It’s fine. You can just call me when you’re free or tired of practicing. Call me if you feel like you need to relax for a little.” Nicholas was extremely understanding and supportive of her as he knew that she was preparing for the competition.
Furthermore, even if she didn’t have the time to contact him, at least he had a bodyguard keeping an eye over her. The bodyguard could report about her condition anytime he wanted to check up on her, but it was obvious that she wasn’t aware of the arrangement he had made.
A sweet smile formed on her face when she saw how understanding Nicholas was. “We may spend a little less time together during this period, but I want you to know that I’m going to miss you a lot,” she murmured softly and gently.
“I’m going to miss you too,” he said while giving her a loving gaze. Although they were separated by their phone screens, they could still feel the love from one another right then.
For the next few days, Tessa went through intensive practices every day. She even changed her performance schedule at the restaurant to only perform once every two days. Wilbur was aware that Tessa was competing for the principal violinist role in Hathaway’s new orchestra group, so he tried his best to accommodate her timing. She was extremely thankful for Wilbur’s kind gestures, and she told herself that she would have to repay him someday.
Tessa was always the last to leave practice during that period of time. As a result, she lost a lot of weight as her schedule was jam packed.
One afternoon, Mona dropped by to visit Tessa after her meal and found Tessa practicing in the studio. “Aren’t you working yourself a little too hard, Tessa?” Mona sighed as she walked over to check on the girl. “Have you had your lunch?”

“I’m about to have it soon,” Tessa replied with a smile.
