Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 947

Chapter 947 Seen Through Her Act

Sofia said with a serious expression, “You should focus on your practice. I’ll look into it as soon as possible and give you an answer!”

Hearing that, Tessa nodded and entered the training room. Yet, after something like this had happened, she couldn’t focus on the training anymore. Thus, she sat on the couch with a lot on her mind.

When Gregory saw that, he quickly went over and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong, Mommy? Who upset you?”

As soon as she met the little guy’s innocent eyes, she forced out a smile. “I’m fine. You should head back to practice.”

She didn’t want to tell the little guy what happened since she was afraid that it would affect his mood as well, so she brushed him off and was lost in her own thoughts again.

However, even until noon, she still couldn’t figure out how she had lost her manuscript.

After having lunch, she was about to go to Sofia’s office to ask her how her investigation was coming along when her phone rang. It was a call from her little brother.

“It’s already so late there. Why aren’t you sleeping yet?” She looked at her little brother with a frown, who was becoming more and more handsome as she watched him through the screen. Her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. Because of the time difference, it was already midnight in Xerthania.

Timothy knew that his sister was concerned about him. His heart warmed, and he said with a smile, “The company took on a big project previously, so I’ve been busy working on it these days. I won’t work overtime anymore once this project becomes stable.”

“Take good care of yourself. Don’t let me worry,” Tessa reminded him.

Hearing that, Timothy nodded obediently and told her what he had called for. “It’s Nicholas’ birthday tomorrow, and I’ve asked someone to send a present over. It should arrive at your house in the afternoon. Please give it to Nicholas on my behalf tomorrow.”

Although she agreed to it, Tessa felt rather melancholic inside.

Her present had been stolen, and she wasn’t sure whether this matter would be dealt with by tomorrow night. If it wasn’t, what present should she prepare for Nicholas then?

On the other hand, Timothy noticed that something was off when he saw Tessa being quiet in the video call all of a sudden. “Tessa, is something wrong?”

However, she didn’t know that Nicholas had already seen through her act. After some thought, he didn’t expose her on the spot.

After dinner, Tessa went back to the bedroom to shower.

As soon as Nicholas saw her figure disappear from the staircase, he asked Gregory to come to his side and asked, “Did something happen in the orchestra today?”

“Nothing special.” Gregory shook his head and looked at Nicholas in confusion. “What’s wrong, Daddy?”

“Nothing. Go back to your room and do your homework.” Seeing Gregory’s crystal clear eyes, Nicholas thought that he didn’t look like he was hiding anything, so he brushed him off.

Later, when he returned to the bedroom, he saw that his wife had already showered and was so immersed in her own thoughts while sitting on the bed that she didn’t even realize that he had already come in.

He widened his eyes and strode over to her before asking casually, “What’s on your mind? Why are you in such deep thought?”
