Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1143

Chapter 1143 Calligraphy Competition

Tessa felt like she was about to melt when she saw the look on Gregory’s face. Gregory started pestering his mother after that. “What did Daddy give you this time, Mommy? Let’s not take his gift. I’ll buy one for you. It’ll be better than what Daddy gave you.”

Tessa burst out in laughter when she heard Gregory’s words. In the end, she had no choice but to tell Gregory the truth. “Your father didn’t give me anything. I simply found out that my album sales are doing really well and that I’ve received a lot of good comments online. That was why I was so happy.”

“Woah. You’re amazing, Mommy!” Gregory clapped his hands in celebration of what Tessa said. While they were talking to each other, Gregory’s calligraphy teacher walked into the hall. His teacher, Quinton Hall, was a strict and well-known intellectual. He greeted Tessa when he saw her from afar. “Hey, Miss Reinhart.”

Tessa froze before she stood up to greet him. “Is anything the matter, Mr. Hall?”

“Well, there’s something I’d like to talk to you about. Gregory is doing really well in his calligraphy class, and there happens to be a local youth calligraphy competition happening soon. I was wondering if Gregory could participate in it, Miss Reinhart.” Quinton explained his intentions before looking at Tessa hopefully.

Tessa found this to be a good idea. Mr. Hall is a professional in calligraphy himself, so I’m sure his students can do better than the average person as well, Tessa figured. “You’re too nice, Mr. Hall. Gregory’s your student—if you think he’s good enough, then you can just sign him up for the competition.”

Quinton felt more at ease upon hearing how respectful Tessa was toward him. He had grinned so widely that his eyes were crinkled. Well, come to think of it, Gregory is my final private student. At this age, I should be resting at home and enjoying my retirement, but Mr. Sawyer was eager to have me as Gregory’s teacher. That was why I agreed, and that was also how I got lucky enough to find myself such a talented child.
