Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 621

Chapter 621
Capability, talent, and humbleness, she has it all. I’m sure she will become someone great in time.”
When Kathleen heard this, she was fuming with rage. Moreover, she was displeased that Tessa, whom she deemed a b*tch, had stolen her limelight tonight. Hence, she abruptly rose to her feet.
“I’m going to play a piano piece for Mommy too!”
Needless to say, Kathleen’s piano skills were excellent.
She played a piece called ‘Ballade pour Adeline’ She played the tune of the song so romantically, beautifully, and full of artistic conception.
After the performance, the crowd applauded.
“Kathleen’s piano level is as amazing as her violin’s.”
“Hathaway, it looks like your daughter has surpassed you in learning.”
“A melodious music.”
Similarly, Tessa felt that Kathleen was talented in music despite her nasty character.
Kathleen’s mouth spilled forth humble words as she listened to everyone’s compliments, but her eyes were a different story as they looked at Tessa proudly.
Tessa merely shook her head when she noticed it, as she didn’t care at all. Then, she turned around to help Hathaway entertain the guests.
That night, the birthday party ended rather late.
It was inevitable that Tessa drank quite a bit of wine due to the festivities and her position as Hathaway’s student. So, it was an understatement that she was somewhat tipsy. However, she was still aware of her surroundings.
Hathaway couldn’t help but worry when she saw Tessa in such a state. “Scott, please help me send
Tessa back. I’m worried about seeing her in this state.”
Sure enough, Scott wouldn’t refuse when he heard that.
In the meantime, Kathleen, who was next to Hathaway, was enraged. How could Mommy let Scott send Tessa back?
Although she was unhappy, there was no way for her to stop it.
Fortunately, Tessa spoke at this moment as she declined with a shake of her head, “Miss Hathaway, thank you for your kindness. My fiancé has arranged for a driver to pick me up, so there’s no need to trouble Mr. Brooks.”
“Alright then. Go back to rest early.” Hathaway didn’t enforce her suggestion as she urged Tessa to
leave.
Tessa nodded lightly, then turned and left.
In the meantime, Scott watched as Tessa’s slender back silhouette faded farther away, and his bright eyes dimmed.
Kathleen had been paying attention to Scott, so she didn’t miss the flash of disappointment in his eyes. As a result, her hands balled into fists, and she gradually relaxed her hands when she got her emotions under control.
It took a long time for her to calm down, but that scene was enough to make her hatred toward Tessa reach new heights.
This b*tch! She’s still flirting around with other men even when she has a fiancé! Just wait! I will definitely make her life miserable.
After Tessa left the venue, she returned to the manor without any detours.
She had just finished taking a shower when she received a video call from Nicholas.
“Did the party go well tonight?”
“It went well. I even performed two songs for Miss Hathaway live.” Tessa looked at Nicholas with a smile, and her almond eyes gleamed with joy, making her look enchanting.
Nicholas’ eyes darkened slightly at the sight, and his voice was husky. “Did you drink tonight?”
“Yeah, I drank. And I drank a lot too. So, now I’m almost drunk.”
As Tessa spoke, she blinked mischievously.
When he saw this, he deliberately kept his face stern as if he was angry. “Did you forget that you promised me not to drink alcohol?”.
She pretended to be deep in thought as she said, “I did promise you that I’ll drink less.”
As he looked at her attempting to squirrel her way out, he didn’t expose her. Instead, he played along with her act.
“Even so, tell me: did you keep your promise?”
“I didn’t, but you can’t blame me. I can’t reject the toast from the seniors.”
Tessa looked at the man in the video innocently. Unfortunately, her innocent appearance aroused him
In an instant, he swallowed with difficulty, and his voice became deeper and more magnetic. “I don’t care what the reason is. You didn’t keep your promise to me. So, get ready for your punishment.”
When she heard the last sentence, she couldn’t keep her mind away from certain images.
“Perv!” She flushed crimson, and her beguiling eyes glared at him.
Unfortunately, he merely nodded solemnly. “Well, I’m only like this with you.”
This made her face do its best to resemble a tomato.
The two remained on call for a bit longer. Eventually, he urged her to bed as it was getting late.
