Chapter 840 A Precious Gift
Sofia was significantly stunned at that point. He had achieved such great results in just a year’s time, so if she guided him carefully, then he would definitely achieve great things in the future.
For a moment there, she had a very strong urge to mentor him.
After further consideration, she turned to look at Tessa with a solemn look and said, “You’re right. Gregory is indeed musically inclined. If he starts to play the violin at a young age, then he would have a bright future ahead of him. Would you consider letting me guide him as well?”
At that moment, Tessa was significantly stunned. Does Miss Sofia intend to take on Gregory as her student too?!
Dazed, she was sincerely happy for Gregory. However, she did not instantly agree on behalf of him.
Although she wished for him to continue pursuing music, she respected him as an individual to make his own decision.
“Greg, would you be willing to learn how to play the violin from Miss Sofia?”
Blinking, he finally comprehended the reason why the lady had asked him so many questions; she was interested to take him under her wings.
“Thanks, Miss Sofia.” With the intelligence he possessed, he instantly confirmed their student-teacher relationship.
As soon as Sofia heard his childlike voice pipe up ‘Miss Sofia’, she instantly beamed widely.
She could not help herself from hugging Gregory tightly and her solemn expression became affectionate.
In fact, she had a son herself, but he was more into arts than music. He had told her from the start that he was not going to get married in his lifetime because he planned to dedicate his life to his art.
This was definitely her greatest regret in her life. Hence, Gregory’s words struck a chord within her and she was touched by that.
“Greg, could you address me one more time?”
“Miss Sofia, this gift is too luxurious.”
“It’s just a violin regardless of its worth and it needs someone great to play it.” Sofia instantly rebutted Tessa’s words and she did not even give her the chance to further reject. She firmly insisted, “Besides, this is a gift for the little student that I just took in here. Why are you the one rejecting it?”
At that moment, Tessa smiled as she could not come up with the words to respond. Finally, she nodded at Gregory. It was a sincere gift from Sofia after all; if she rejected it, then Sofia might feel hurt.
As a perceptive child that he was, he thanked Sofia politely as soon as he saw the indication from his mommy. “Thank you, Miss Sofia, for the gift. I’ll definitely practice well with the violin you bestowed me with.” At this point, she was completely overwhelmed by his cuteness.
She had fun teasing Gregory affectionately before starting the discussion about their upcoming practice schedule with Tessa.
“Since there’s Gregory to guide as well, then I reckon two hours a day will not be sufficient. Besides, the two of you are not on the same level of progress.”
“I’ll stick to your arrangements, Miss Sofia.”
