Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1087

Chapter 1087 Let the Lady Play

A moment later, Tessa glanced at Nicholas with sparkling eyes and said, “It’s delicious!” At the sight of this, Nicholas went on to peel a few more shrimps for her.

Next to them, Timothy couldn’t help his exasperation. He didn’t mind having a meal with his sister and her husband, but he felt like he was getting heartburn from their lovey-dovey exchange. “Uh, Tessa, Nicholas, some of us are trying to eat here. Can you refrain from rubbing your relationship in my face while I’m still single?” He put his hand to his chest in an exaggerated manner as though Tessa and Nicholas had plunged a sword through his heart, then shot them a wounded look.

Tessa was about to retort when Nicholas beat her to it. “We’re hoping this might give you that extra push you need in order to find a girlfriend.” Then, Nicholas returned to peeling shrimps for Tessa and addressed her indulgently, “Is there anything else you’d like to eat? I’ll get it for you.”

She shook her head and didn’t want him to starve. “You don’t have to, and you barely ate a bite!”

As she said this, the waiter served the last dish, but he did not leave immediately after setting the plate down. Then, the waiter said politely, “Dear guests, there will be a live performance in our establishment shortly after this for you to enjoy while you dine.”

Gregory blinked his doe-eyes at the waiter and asked curiously, “Excuse me, sir, but what sort of performance is it?”

The waiter replied with a smile, “Usually it’s a piano or a violin performance, but the musicians are set. They’re refined artists who play the instruments beautifully, and some of our customers only dine here to hear them play.”

Tessa could hear the subtle pride in the waiter’s tone as he said this, and she found herself looking forward to the performance later.

Unfortunately, the restaurant ran into some trouble at the very last moment.

Another waiter hurried up onto the stage and apologized to the customers. “Ladies and gentlemen, our resident pianist has a case of food poisoning and is being treated at the hospital right now. We sincerely apologize for having to cancel the performance this evening, but our manager has mentioned that should anyone here know how to play the violin and the piano, then by all means, the stage is yours.”

Some customers were clearly displeased by the unexpected announcement, but they mostly just grumbled to themselves and chose to ignore it.
