Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 722

Chapter 722

After all, Wanda believed she would eventually move Nicholas one day. 

Not long after that, the three of them made their way to a restaurant just a stone‘s throw away from the company. Upon settling down in the lounge, Keiran had been making the first move to talk to Wanda, cleverly knowing why his older brother had invited him to tag along with them. “I heard you hardly came back ever since you flew abroad. So, now that you‘re back, does it seem to you that Southend has changed a lot?” 

“The city has changed a lot, indeed. In fact, many buildings that I remember can no longer be found around town.” Wanda then smiled at Nicholas and added, “I wanted to visit my former school a few days ago, but I couldn‘t find the building until I was told that they had moved elsewhere.” 

Nicholas politely nodded in response but did nothing more than that. At the same time, his eyes were glued to his phone screen, upon which was his chatroom with Tessa. It turned out that he saw a story Tessa posted not long ago and decided to send her a text message, knowing she was still not asleep. 

Meanwhile, Wanda paused in an absent–minded manner as she had never seen Nicholas so gentle and tender. Deep down, she could tell that Nicholas was probably chatting with the lady whom he had a crush on. Oh, man. What am I going to do? Why does she get to be treated so nicely? Unknown to herself, Wanda began to feel jealous of Tessa for having the privilege of feeling Nicholas‘ love. 

In the meantime, Tessa was still awake because she was undergoing finger treatment. While it was already winter season in Vienna, the orchestra rehearsal schedule remained as packed as usual. Therefore, her fingers froze due to the chilly weather, even feeling numb when she was playing the violin. For that, she would have to get prepared every time before her practice and be sure to undergo her finger treatment after that in order to prevent frostbite in her hands. 

Upon learning what happened, Nicholas caringly reminded Tessa to have enough rest. ‘Be sure to keep yourself warm when you leave home. Also, don‘t forget to turn on the heater whenever you‘re playing the violin. Td hate to see you stress yourself out. 

‘Alright, I heard you. Take care of yourself too.‘ Tessa replied to Nicholas‘ message and showed her concern. 

While Nicholas was trying to imply that it was time for Wanda to leave, the lady was able to read between the lines, her smile stiffening at the same time. Nevertheless, she quickly hid her feelings and explained, “Grandpa told me to wait for him here, but don‘t worry. I‘ll be sure not to cause any disturbance.” 

After hearing the lady‘s answer, Nicholas had no choice but to let Wanda stay while the latter silently remained in the office, just like she told the man. At the same time, she would occasionally peek at Nicholas, who was engrossed with his work, enchanted by his serious attitude that made him look so charming and attractive. 

Later that afternoon, Gregory showed up while Nicholas looked at him with a stunned expression. “What are you doing here? Wait a second. Who took you here?” 

“I was bored at home, and I missed you. So, I told Mr. Andrew to take me here,” Gregory wrapped his arms around his father and explained as Nicholas hugged the child in his embrace.
