Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 410

Chapter 410 An Outdoor Art Exhibition
Suddenly, Gregory pointed at a building outside the car window, shouting, “Miss Tessa, look! That building is so beautiful!”
Tessa turned to look at the building. Indeed, the building looked very beautiful and aesthetic. If Vienna was the city of classical music and an artistic paradise, Filisburg would be the sacred place for love and the definition of romance. One might as well say that everyone in Filisburg had romance in their bones.
After a while, the car stopped at the entrance of a park. “Here we are. Let’s get out of the car,” Nicholas said while unbuckling his seat belt before he got down from the car.
She followed closely behind him with Gregory. After getting out of the car, she realized that the park was hosting an outdoor art exhibition.
By this moment, the art exhibition had drawn many visitors. Taking Tessa’s hand in one hand and Gregory’s in the other, Nicholas slowly entered the venue.
The paintings here weren’t made by renowned painters, but they looked very lifelike. It didn’t take long before Tessa and Gregory were fascinated by the paintings at the scene.
Nicholas stayed quietly beside them the whole time while preventing others from bumping into them.
Just then, a cheerful melody played in the distance. A surprised Tessa turned to look at Nicholas. “Is an orchestra performing here?” In her memory, art exhibitions were usually quiet; even if there was music, only soft music would be played in which no orchestra would be hired to perform.
He nodded with a smile before he explained, “This art exhibition is held by the businesspeople of Filisburg, who have also invited the orchestra to perform here for charity. There’ll even be a stage play later on. I thought you’d probably like this place, so I brought you here to take a look.”
His words sent a warm current through Tessa.
On the other hand, Gregory could hardly wait to watch the stage play. He tugged at Nicholas’ hand, urging, “Daddy, where’s the stage play? Hurry up and bring us to watch it!”
Nicholas turned to look at Tessa while ignoring him.
She chuckled. “Since Greg wants to watch the stage play, let’s watch it first.”
Nicholas nodded before bringing them deeper into the park.
Many people smiled kindly at them as they were on the way to watch the stage play. Some even got the wrong idea about them and praised, “Your child looks very adorable.”
Upon hearing such words, Tessa felt somewhat embarrassed. However, she also felt very pleased, and she had no intention of explaining the truth.
Nicholas felt the same too.
Gregory, on the other hand, was beside himself with joy when he heard such words. He had wanted Tessa to be his mother a long time ago. It’s just that Daddy is too stupid, which makes me unable to call her “Mom” even now, he thought. At the thought of this, he turned to look at Nicholas with gloom in his eyes.
After sensing the boy’s gaze, Nicholas looked totally perplexed.
By the time they finished watching the stage play, the originally bright blue sky had been dyed a deep red by the rays of the evening sunlight. He took Tessa and Gregory to a restaurant where he had made a reservation for a homely dinner.
As night fell, the three of them went to the Bardale Canal and drifted along the river current in the boat. The dim lights in their surroundings were reflected on the river’s surface, and the reflection floated on the ripples. The scenery looked just as picturesque as an oil painting.
Gregory flung himself into Tessa’s arms with a happy smile on his face as his big, round eyes sparkled as if there were stars in them. “This place is so beautiful, Miss Tessa.”
Tessa hugged him as she replied with a sweet smile, “Yeah, it’s beautiful indeed.” As she spoke, her starry eyes fell upon Nicholas, only to unexpectedly meet a pair of dark and fathomless eyes.
As their eyes met, a rich sweetness emanated from them; it was as if even the air was sweet at this moment.
Not noticing the subtle chemistry between the two adults, Gregory wrapped his arms around Tessa’s neck while shouting excitedly at Nicholas, “Daddy, could you take a photo of Miss Tessa and me?”
Tessa and Nicholas finally came to their senses upon hearing this. “Let’s take a photo of us, then.” She looked at him with a smile.
Naturally, Nicholas wouldn’t turn her down, so he took out his cell phone and took a picture of them.
As soon as the camera flashed, Gregory stretched out his hand impatiently while saying, “Let me take a look at the photo, Daddy. How is it?”
