Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 973

Chapter 973 Sofia’s Invitation

After all, it took a lot of effort and energy to produce a good song—not to mention that so many people were now looking forward to Tessa’s first solo album.

Tessa was afraid that the effort she poured wasn’t satisfactory enough, and it would let everyone who had believed in her down. Furthermore, she wasn’t as spirited as before since she was now carrying another life in her belly.

In actuality, Tessa had lost considerable weight after half a month of intensive workload. On this day, in Xerthania, Nicholas purposely made a video call to Tessa during his break, for he missed her very much.

“Nicholas.” As soon as the video call got through, Tessa’s slightly weary voice sounded through the video. Looking at the woman in the video, Nicholas frowned tightly.

Through the video call, he noticed Tessa’s originally somewhat chubby cheeks had become rather hollow now. “I’ve only been away for less than half a month, yet you’ve tortured yourself into such a state?!” he questioned with displeasure as he glared at Tessa.

Tessa suddenly felt a sense of guilt when she saw Nicholas looking rather upset. Hence, she quickly explained to him, saying, “I didn’t torture myself.”

“Why would you slim down so much if you didn’t torture yourself?”

Nicholas looked at Tessa as he feigned dissatisfaction and interrogated her with a reckoning tone in his voice, “Tell me: did you eat well recently?”

Needless to say, his current austere appearance certainly had Tessa thinking he was indeed angered.

Since Tessa knew very well how much Nicholas cared for her, panic crept in as she immediately comforted him by saying, “Don’t be mad, darling. I did have proper meals. Ask Greg if you don’t believe me. It’s just that I don’t know why I’m still losing weight even after I’m eating well.”

Nicholas only pretended to forgive her after she acted coquettishly and flattered him. “Never do this again. Otherwise, I’ll instruct Sebastian to lock your study every night.”

Tessa was tickled pink by his words. Even so, she nodded in agreement and said, “Tomorrow is the weekend. Miss Sofia has already asked me to get some rest at home with Greg.”

“In that case, have a good rest tomorrow. I forbid you to do anything related to music. Not only that, I’ll ask Sebastian and Greg to supervise you,” Nicholas stated firmly.

Tessa could only agree to his demands.

Not long after they hung up, Sebastian came knocking on the door.

“Madam Tessa, this is the essence broth that Master Nicholas ordered the kitchen staff to cook for you. He wanted you to drink it before going to bed.”

As Sebastian spoke, he served Tessa the broth.

When she laid eyes on the bowl of essence broth, she felt moved by Nicholas’ attentiveness. So, she didn’t protest as she took it and finished it all in one go.

Thanks to the essence broth, Tessa had a good night’s sleep.

…

The next afternoon, Sebastian approached Tessa and Gregory while they were basking lazily in the garden.
