Chapter 321
She sounded a little embarrassed when she said, “I-I’m
already dating him.”
“Both of you are seeing each other?” Timothy
exclaimed in surprise.
Tessa nodded. “We decided to give it a try. Tim… will you
support me?” At the end of her sentence, she gave him an uneasy
look.
“Tess, no matter what you do, I’ll always support you.” Then,
staring at his wary sister, he felt so sorry for her. “As long as you’re
happy, nothing else is important, including
me.”
Even though he couldn’t bear it, he already knew that it was
only a matter of time before a day like this would arrive, judging
from her past interactions with Nicholas. In addition, Nicholas was
the best person he knew, and Gregory was a very likable kid, so
his sister deserved the best in the world!
As for the different status between the two families, he didn’t think that it
was a problem. So what if they didn’t come from a prominent and
influential family? He was still a young man with a lot of time
ahead of himself, and he would do his best so that his sister could
become a part of a wealthy family and stand confidently in front of
others!
Not knowing what was on his mind, she was still equally touched
by what he said earlier. “You’re a great person, Tim.”
She took a deep breath, fought back her tears with a smile,
and asked about his life back at home. Of course, Timothy would
tell her all the good things that happened. “I’m doing fine here.
The company is on track and showing positive results so far.”
The siblings chatted for a little longer before hanging up, and
Tessa still had a smile after placing her phone aside. However,
when she looked around the empty room, her smile fell slightly,
and she walked to the balcony, feeling a little lonely.
The sky outside was dark as ink, and only a few stars were
hanging in the night sky. Placing her hands on the balcony, she
gazed into the distance as the wind whistled past, rustling her dark
hair.
Nicholas is probably still on the aircraft at this time, she reckoned. What should I
do? He’s only been gone for a day, and I can’t help but start to miss
him already.
As time passed, Tessa didn’t know how long it had been until
she sorted out her
emotions. Then, after regaining her energy, she returned to her
room to wash up.
While she was deeply asleep, her phone on her bedside table started
to vibrate. She opened her eyes and reached out to grope for her
phone in a daze. Then, she saw the name on the screen of her
phone-Nicholas.
“I’ve disembarked.” Tessa had just placed the phone next to her
ear when she heard Nicholas’ husky voice from the phone.
She immediately woke up as she heard his voice, and a sweet
smile spread across her face. “Go home quickly and have a good
rest. You can go to the company later. Don’t tire yourself out.”
“Okay.” After hearing Tessa’s raspy voice, he recalled that it was
probably midnight in Vienna now, and he said with a hint of guilt,
“Did I wake you up? Go back to sleep and contact me when you’re
awake.”
“I’m not tired, and I want to talk to you.” Somehow, she found it
unbearable to hang up now, and he heard her intention behind her tone.
Actually, Nicholas didn’t want to hang up, either. Even though
they had only been separated for a day, he couldn’t help but start to
miss her, and he never thought that he would miss a person so much in
just one day.
A chuckle escaped his lips, and he said affectionately,
“What would you like to talk about?”
“I successfully got myself a teacher today and became her protégé
as well as a reserve violinist for the orchestra,” she said, telling him
the good news. “Miss Hathaway said that she will promote me to an
official violinist from the reserve position when I have two-thirds of her
skills. By then, I’ll be able to make a breakthrough in the industry
with my accumulated knowledge.”
On the other end, he listened to her hopes for the future while pushing
his luggage out of the airport. He narrowed his almond-shaped eyes as
he gazed at the blue sky outside and suddenly felt like this bright sky was
just as bright as their future.
“Congratulations on finding an amazing teacher.” His voice was gentle and
soothing to the ears as he added, “I look forward to seeing you
perform on stage.”
She rolled over and switched into a comfortable position in the
dark room as she grinned like a child. “I hope that you can witness
that day together with me.”
