Chapter 342
The sublime and solemn allegro was beautifully played, with a fluctuating rhythm that was a combination of weak and strong. The performance was truly outstanding. It was undeniable that this was a successful performance. The performer had fully immersed his artistic depth and emotion into his performance.
While the audience was fascinated by the vibrant performance, Gregory, on the other hand, was not attracted by the sound of the piano at all. It was probably because he was eager to see Tessa.
After listening for a while, Gregory could not help but jump off the chair and trot to Nicholas. Then, he pulled on Nicholas’ trousers and asked, “Daddy, when can we look for Miss Tessa?”
Nicholas lowered his head slightly and met Gregory’s expectant black eyes. Then, he brought Gregory into his arms.

“We’ll wait for her to finish performing. Then, we’ll go find her.”
“When will it be Miss Tessa’s turn to perform? I really want to see her.”
Timothy also looked at Nicholas curiously as he heard the father and son’s conversation. He felt that the omnipotent Nicholas must know when it would be Tessa’s turn to perform.
However, Nicholas was not aware of Timothy’s thoughts. Instead, he glanced down at the performance on the stage. Then, with a slight smile on his lips, he said, “Soon.”.
Sure enough, the handsome emcee came on stage and interacted with the audience after the piano performance. Then, after engaging the atmosphere in the auditorium, he started announcing the next program.
“Next up, we have our college’s outstanding graduate-Miss Hathaway’s protégé, Tessa Reinhart. She will be performing this piece, ‘Violin Concerto in G major 3rd Movement.”
At the end of the speech, there was applause from the audience.
“Daddy, it’s time for Miss Tessa to perform!” Gregory heard the emcee’s announcement, and he grabbed the clothes on Nicholas’ chest as he shouted excitedly.
Gregory craned his neck to look at the stage entrance and clapped his hands so hard that they turned red. Nicholas looked at the stage in anticipation while protecting Gregory to prevent him from falling to the ground.
Meanwhile, Timothy, who was sitting next to him, also clapped his hands while looking at the stage expectantly.
In the eyes of thousands of people, a beautiful figure slowly stepped onto the stage.
Tessa, wearing a long, black, floor-length dress, gracefully walked to the center of the stage. Her jet-black hair was curled in a beautiful updo, revealing a snow-white swan neck. A pair of exquisite long earrings added a few enchanting points to her delicate face.
The audience present was amazed by Tessa’s beautiful appearance, and the chatter continued
On the VIP seat on the second floor, Gregory looked at the pretty lady standing in the center of the stage, and he couldn’t help but squirm in excitement in Nicholas’ arms.
“Daddy, look! It’s Miss Tessa! She’s so pretty!”
“Sit properly.” Nicholas frowned as he lightly scolded the restless Gregory in his arms. However, his black eyes were staring at the particularly dazzling girl on stage.
Tessa bowed to the audience gracefully, with the silverish stage light falling on her; it made her look more enchanting and beautiful. Then, she put the violin around her slender neck and began to perform.
‘Violin Concerto in G major 3rd Movement’ belonged to the final chapter of Bruch’s ‘Violin Concerto No.1 in G major’ that showcases a powerful allegro. The song’s theme was a passionate dance number consisting of many dyads and tetrads. It was quite like a free combination of a rondo and a sonata.
It did not take long for the audience under the stage to immerse themselves in this passion-filled musical piece.
Likewise, Tessa was also immersed in the music as she performed. As if the enthusiasm of the music infected her, and her body swayed along with the rhythm.
As time passed, the violin’s sound gradually became rapid as the music reached its peak and subsided. Tessa finally ended her performance in a flawless go.
Clap! Clap! Clap! At the end of the song, there was thunderous applause from the audience.
