Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379 Cancellation

When Tessa came back home at night, Nicholas had woken up in Southend. After he washed up, he got his phone and called Tessa as he came downstairs.

The call went through quickly, and Tessa’s face showed up on the screen, a smile curling her lips. Obviously, she was in a good mood. “Morning, Nicholas.”

“Good evening to you.”

Nicholas noticed the happiness in her voice, and he chuckled, his voice sonorous. “Did something happen? You look happy.”

Tessa blinked at him, and she lied, “Yeah. My teacher praised me today.” She hid the truth from him so she could give him a surprise.

Nicholas never expected her to hide anything from him, so he believed what she said. “It’s just praise. Is that something to be so happy about?”

“Of course. It means my teacher has acknowledged me.” She didn’t want to dwell on this topic, so she shifted it. “Where’s Greg? Is he awake?”

“Yes. He’s right beside me.”

The moment he said that, the screen started shaking, and she heard Gregory saying, “Daddy, give me the phone. Miss Tessa is missing me.” The boy took the phone from his father and gushed, “I miss you, Miss Tessa.”

“I missed you too.”

Hm. She doesn’t seem sad or anything. Hathaway nodded.

When she came out of the office, her shoulders slumped. Two months? But I miss them. When she came back home, Tessa sat down on the couch and let her disappointment loose. It ran amok in her house and filled the air with a gloomy vibe.

It wasn’t until she received a call from Nicholas did that gloomy air lift a little. She cheered herself up and took the call, but the look on her face told Nicholas that she was not happy.

“You don’t have to smile if you don’t want to.” Nicholas saw through her forced smile, and he felt sad for her. “Tell me what happened.”

She could hear the adamance in his voice. It was as if he was telling her that she could always count on him no matter what. It was touching, and she felt like a mistreated child who finally saw her parent. Tessa started sobbing, and she told him everything. “The orchestra was going to perform in Southend next month. I was going to go with them and surprise you guys, but Miss Hathaway told me today that the performance is canceled.”
