Chapter 7 Love at First Sight
The ceremony was getting off to a slow and steady start in the banquet hall, and midway through, the emcee went up on stage to read out the name of the violinist for the solo performance. Gregory, who had been sufficiently bored since the beginning of the banquet, immediately lit up as he exclaimed, “Daddy, it’s the pretty lady!”
Nicholas’ gaze flickered over to the stage.
Presently, Tessa had already changed into an elegant beige dress, which had a modest cut that accentuated the curve of her waist and flattered her silhouette flawlessly. She was holding the violin Gregory had picked out for her earlier as she strolled gracefully to center stage.
When the track lights shone on the porcelain skin of her doll-like face, she looked dazzling.
For a minute, surprise flashed in Nicholas’ dark orbs, and he thought he might actually be enchanted by her.
On stage, Tessa couldn’t help being a little nervous as she stood tall and straight under the scrutiny of the deathly silent audience.

His long and lean build seemed to stand out among the other guests, and the imperious air with which he carried himself made him look untouchable and high above everyone else.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly broke eye contact, meeting Gregory’s eager gaze instead.
The little guy was perched on a highchair as he stared at Tessa with glittering eyes, the anticipation clear in his face.
