Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 709

Chapter 709 Bidding Goodbye

Timothy nodded in thanks. “Thank you so much, Nicholas.”

After a while, Tessa began removing the needles on her brother’s body.

Gregory also scooted over and watched curiously. However, right after the needles were retrieved, the phone Tessa left on the desk began to ring. It was a call from Hathaway.

“Miss Hathaway, it’s been awhile.”

“Tessa, how is your fiance’s injury?”

“Thank you for your concern, Miss Hathaway. He’s almost fully recovered.”

“If that’s so, you should gather your things and prepare to return to Vienna. After all, you’re the lead violinist, so you shouldn’t be absent for too long. If not, the other members would start complaining. Also, starting next month, Group Two will be performing in another country. There were quite a few shows scheduled, so you have to come back and practice together.”

Hearing that, despite her reluctance to leave Nicholas and the others, Tessa still agreed.

“Got it. I’ll hurry back as soon as I can.”

With that, she ended the call. When Nicholas saw her disappointed look, he took her hand and led her to a seat next to him, asking, “What’s the matter?”

“Miss Hathaway asked me to go back as soon as possible.”

Tessa didn’t hide anything as she described the situation briefly. Nicholas and Gregory immediately expressed their reluctance.

Gregory hugged Tessa and said in a sullen tone, “I don’t want you to leave.”

Tessa smiled and lightly patted the child on the back as she said, “It’s okay. I’ll come back when I have time in the future.”

Actually, she was reluctant to leave as well. However, fortunately, Nicholas’ injuries had healed considerably, so she wouldn’t need to worry. When Timothy heard that Tessa would be leaving soon, he was filled with longing.

“When are you planning to leave, Tessa? I can take you to the airport.”

As soon as Timothy spoke those words, Nicholas and Gregory also looked toward Tessa.

Tessa thought for a bit before saying, “I’ll be leaving tomorrow.”

Hearing that, Gregory pouted and pleaded pitifully, “Can’t you stay for a few more days?”

The next day, after breakfast, the group headed for the airport. When it was time to board the plane, Gregory sobbed sorrowfully as he hugged Tessa.

He looked so pitiful that for an instant, Tessa really wanted to say that she wouldn’t leave anymore. Fortunately, her reasoning won against her impulse.

“Don’t cry, Greg. I’ll be back to see you whenever I’m free.”

Tessa held Gregory in her arms as she tried to convince the little guy. It took a long while for the child to be satisfied.

Just then, Timothy walked up to her and said, “Do take care of yourself, Tessa. You’re all alone overseas.”

Tessa nodded, then her gaze fell upon Nicholas.

“I’ll go over when I have time.”

With that, Nicholas planted a kiss on Tessa’s forehead, saying in a low voice, “Take good care of yourself. Don’t make me worry.”

Tessa nodded, then turned and left.

Timothy and the father-son duo left the airport only when they could no longer see Tessa’s figure.
