Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1310

The quests were a little disappointed by that. Of course, the competition among the guests didn’t escape Tessa and Nicholas’ eyes. That made Tessa a little uncomfortable.

Nicholas immediately noticed her mood and asked concernedly, “What’s wrong? Are you tired?”

“It’s not that. I just feel that these people are too eager. It’s Gordon’s baby shower today. I’m happy that they came and even prepared presents for him, but I don’t care if the presents are expensive. It’s the thought that counts. It feels like they were competing with each other using those very same presents.”

Tessa expressed her thoughts softly, “The way that they’re trying to earn our favor doesn’t exactly make me happy.” Nicholas only felt that she was adorably straightforward as he gazed at the undisguised displeasure on her face..

“It’s okay. If you don’t like that, we’ll just ignore. them. I’ll introduce you to my friends.” Then, he pushed her toward his friends while giving Edward a look.

Edward understood Nicholas’ hint and stepped forward to block the guests that wanted to chat them up.

Soon, Tessa was introduced to Nicholas’ friends, and Ashton was among them. She slowly relaxed under their interesting and humorous conversations.

Even so, the competition continued at the banquet, but it wasn’t happening within Tessa’s line of sight.

On the other end, Sofia took a look at the time and directed people to the side of the stage to get ready for the performance.

The first show was a performance by Tessa’s seniors, and the beautiful majestic music soon reverberated in the banquet hall. Everyone was captivated and mesmerized by the music.

As the song came to an end, a burst of applause greeted the performers. Next up was Gregory’s turn. He carried the violin and regally walked up on stage like a little gentleman as he bowed to the guests.
