Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 489

Chapter 489
Tessa pursed her lips and couldn’t really give an answer. Finally, she muttered, “I’m not sure. I just feel that it isn’t right for me to do this.”
Nicholas carefully observed Tessa’s facial expression when he heard her answer. In his heart, he had roughly guessed some of her thoughts.
Therefore, he smiled faintly and said, “Don’t overthink it. I know you’re willing to forgive Kathleen because you’re kind and gracious.”
“But this also means I’ve completely offended Kathleen now.” She laughed self deprecatingly
He raised his eyebrows slightly and said indifferently, “So what if you have offended her? Besides, she might not forgive you even if you let her off the hook. Why don’t you follow your heart and have a clear conscience? Take it as you thanking and returning Hathaway’s favor for appreciating you.”
Tessa pondered when she heard his words and felt that he had a point. Kathleen has too much prejudice against me. After this incident, I’m sure she hates me to the core. So, why should I be so bothered about it?
She figured everything out at that moment and her mood improved.
Then, she took the initiative to wrap her arms around Nicholas’ neck and said with a sweet smile, “It’s good to have you.”
The affection in his gaze deepened as he looked at the enchanting smile on the girl’s face. “I don’t accept mere compliments.”
Tessa blinked her beautiful eyes and knew what the man in front of her wanted. Hence, she took the initiative and kissed him.
The gentle touch of the lips, along with the unique fragrance emitted from the girl’s body, was incredibly alluring.
However, the kiss ended after a soft peck.
This made Nicholas dissatisfied. So, he looked at the girl’s rosy pink lips and his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. Then, at once, he raised his hand to hold the back of the girl’s head to directly deepen the kiss.
Tessa gave him the free rein to do whatever he wanted as she clung onto him, powerless against his actions.
The temperature in the study room gradually became higher.
After a long time, he carried her up and strode toward the bedroom and he only let her go in the middle of the night.
He gently got out of bed and left the bedroom as he stared at the girl’s lovely sleeping face. Then, he returned to the study and called Edward.
Although I support Tessa’s approach of letting Kathleen go, that doesn’t mean I’m willing to let this matter slide just like that.
The next day, Tessa rushed to Silverscape Theater. When she arrived, she found out that Hathaway was not there but did not care much and rehearsed with the others on the stage.
In the midst of break hours, she discussed music with the band members in a polite demeanor.
During this period, no one asked Tessa about Kathleen and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
Time passed by in a blink of an eye, and it was already afternoon.

Just as everyone was rehearsing, Hathaway walked in from outside with a long face. There were mixed emotions lingered in her eyes when she saw Tessa rehearsing with the others on the stage.
“Tessa, come with me for a while.”
Hathaway waited until everyone finished rehearsing a music piece and called out to Tessa.
At that moment, everyone also noticed the serious look on Hathaway’s face and looked at her with worry.
Meanwhile, Tessa didn’t feel the need to be worried. Daily new chapters update only on www.infobagh.com After all, she was the victim of Kathleen’s actions and had already made concessions due to this matter.
In the lounge, Hathaway greeted Tessa and asked her to take a seat on the couch.
Tessa could not help but ask when she saw Hathaway’s stiff expression, “Am I right in assuming that Kathleen refuses to apologize?”
“No, Kathleen is willing to apologize, but according to the police, even if the client is willing to accept mediation, she still needs to be detained for 15 days as a punishment for her vile behavior.”
After she heard Hathaway’s words, Tessa was surprised. It’s no wonder Miss Hathaway is looking so awful. I didn’t expect it would turn out to be such an outcome at all.
Then, Hathaway continued, “Now, the sentencing for the thugs Kathleen hired before has been finalized whereby they are sentenced to a few years of jail time.”
Tessa didn’t have much of an opinion on the result. However, she was dissatisfied with Kathleen’s punishment. Even so, she could only accept it regardless of how unhappy she was.
Furthermore, what worried Tessa even more was the matters regarding the performance. Kathleen will be detained for 15 days, and the orchestra has no lead violinist. So, how can the performance still go on?
Tessa did not know how to comfort her when she saw Hathaway’s terrible mood. Therefore, she could only sit quietly next to Hathaway and accompany the woman silently.
The atmosphere in the lounge became quiet.
Hathaway did not know how long it took her, but when she spoke again, she seemed to have made a decision. So, she suddenly said, “Tessa, go and inform the band members to gather backstage. I will conduct a meeting later.”
