Chapter 1164 Gregory’s Competition
Tessa didn’t know about any of these things. After the performance, she focused solely on
her training and practice without taking on any work.
Still, Alice would record videos of Tessa playing the violin, which she would then have
someone edit and post on Twitter. These videos attracted a lot of attention from the public
and garnered unbelievable numbers of views and retweets.
Fans would keep urging for new updates multiple times a day. This was the same as ever
today. Tessa was dressed in a simple white dress as she played the violin in the garden.
Alice sat on the side and recorded a video of her. When Tessa finished the piece, she set
down her violin and came over to drink some water.
Alice checked the video she took and commented, “Tessa, considering your looks, it’s such
a shame that you didn’t join the entertainment industry.”
“I don’t think it’s a shame at all. The entertainment industry doesn’t suit me.” Tessa shook
her head. She wasn’t interested in the entertainment industry at all.
Alice noticed her reaction and didn’t carry on with this topic. She transferred the video to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther laptop and began editing it.
A little while later, she showed the edited version to Tessa. “What do you think?”
“It looks pretty good. I think the videos have improved a lot lately. If you carry on like this,
I think you can consider becoming a video editor later on if you don’t want to be an
assistant any longer.”
Tessa joked around with Alice after seeing the product of Alice’s edits. Alice grinned. “Is
that so? Looks as if I can ask Miss Sofia for two salaries then.”
“That’s a good idea. You have my support.” Amid their light-hearted conversation, Alice
posted the video on social media.
Tessa’s fans had been fervently waiting for this. As soon as they saw the new video, they
began leaving frenzied comments.
‘It’s true that people are all different after all. Tessa still looks as beautiful as a fairy even
when pregnant, but look at me! I can’t even look at myself in the mirror.”
‘I wish I could change places with the violin on her shoulder. I want to lie there too.’
‘Hey, you up there. Forget about it. She can’t bear your weight.’
The fans chattered on rather harmoniously.
Now and then, Tessa would also scroll through the comments during her break and
respond to some of them.
Many days passed.
Calligraphie Cup, the calligraphy competition that Gregory was joining, was about to start.
The day before the competition, Quinton stayed back after the lesson to explain the
competition in detail to Tessa.
“It’s being held at Primero International High School. Participants will be required to write
in two calligraphy styles—copperplate calligraphy and Gothic calligraphy.”
Tessa took everything in earnestly before asking, “What’s your opinion on Gregory’s
command of these two calligraphy styles, Mr. Hall?”
“Gregory has mastered both styles. It is rare to see someone as good as he is at his age,”
Quinton declared with a sense of pride.
The younger the child, the harder it was for the child to sit still. It was already
commendable for a child to be focused enough to practice just one calligraphy style.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGregory patted his chest confidently and declared, “Don’t worry, Mommy! I’ll definitely
win tomorrow.”
Tessa found her son undeniably adorable.
She pinched his cheeks gently and smiled. “Alright. I look forward to seeing you bring the
cup home with you.”
After breakfast the next morning, Nicholas and Tessa brought Gregory to the school
themselves.
Upon arriving, they saw that the place was crowded.
“There are so many people here.”
Tessa swept her gaze across the place and estimated that there were at least a thousand
contestants.
Nicholas’ brows furrowed slightly as he glanced at the dense crowd. Worried, he pulled
Tessa into his arms.
Tessa didn’t protest.
She knew he was worried that someone might bump into her.
She too held Gregory’s hand tighter and instructed, “Stay close to me. Don’t get lost in
the crowd.”
“Yes, Mommy.”
