Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 1495 Taking a Break

Just like that, Tessa drank with Mona at the bar.

As time passed, Tessa eventually started to get a little tipsy.

She looked at the time and realized it was already midnight.

Just as she was about to call Nicholas, her phone on the table started ringing. She blinked

slowly as the screen lit up, showing that Nicholas was calling.

"I was just planning to call you, but I didn't expect you to call me instead." She held her

phone as the corner of her lips curled into a sweet smile.

Nicholas asked, "Are you ready to go home? I will pick you up."

Tessa glanced at Mona, who was already wasted, and nodded slightly. "Just come over.

Mona is drunk, so we will have to send her back later."

Half an hour later, Nicholas showed up at the bar with Edward following behind him.

Once he found Tessa, he noticed that her cheeks were flushed. It was clear to him that

Tessa had drunk quite a bit. So, he hastened his pace and walked over to her side.

"You came." Tessa stood up staggeringly and smiled sweetly at him when she caught sight

of the man approaching her.

Nicholas' eyes were full of resignation at her drunken state. Nonetheless, he still stepped

forward and immediately carried Tessa up by the waist.

"Edward, take Mona to the nearest hotel."

Nicholas turned and left with Tessa in his arms right after instructing Edward.

As for Edward, he could only support the drunken Mona to the nearest hotel.

…

Since Tessa had a late night yesterday, she woke up rather late the following day.

So, by the time she made her appearance downstairs, she was greeted with the sight of

Stefania looking after and playing with Gregory and Gordon in the living room.

"Mommy, you are awake!" Gregory joyfully bounded over to Tessa and hugged her tightly.

Gordon followed suit and eagerly dashed over, babbling adorably, "Mommy… Hug…"

When Tessa saw this, she had no choice but to pick up Gordon with one hand and hold

Gregory with the other.

A loving smile was written all over Stefania's face as she looked at the two little guys

clinging onto Tessa like koalas.

She smiled at Tessa as she said dotingly, "We have left you some breakfast in the kitchen.

You shouldn't walk around with an empty stomach."

Tessa nodded obediently.

Later after lunch, the whole family sat and played in the living room.

Out of the blue, Stefania asked, "Tessa, what do you have in mind next now that your

performance has ended."

"I plan to take a break. I plan on spending time with Nicholas and the two children. I'll also

help Timothy to finalize the details for his wedding," Tessa disclosed her plan.

Stefania was very pleased to hear this.

That afternoon, Tessa went to the orchestra and conveyed her thoughts to Sofia.

Sofia was rather understanding. "You should rest for a while. You have been busy with the

performance of Group Two for quite some time. Then, you were busy with your solo

performance for half a month after your return. You probably haven't had the time to

spend some quality time with your family. Am I right?"

"I haven't spent time with my children for a long while indeed." Tessa nodded and felt

slightly sorry for the children and Nicholas due to her prolonged absence.

Sofia noticed the slight change in her mood and said with a smile, "Why don't I give you

some extra time off? How does half a month sound? I will let Alice manage Group Two for

you during your absence."

"Thank you, Miss Sofia!" Tessa expressed her gratitude.

"Thonk you, Miss Sofio!" Tesso expressed her grotitude.

When she returned home thot night, she told everyone the good news.

Stefonio immediotely decided to return to Xerthonio the very next doy.

The next morning, the fomily got up eorly ond set off for the oirport.

Timothy ond Sobrino were olreody woiting for them ot the oirport.

Since Timothy would return to compus todoy, he figured Sobrino might os well return to

Xerthonio with Tesso.

Once they got on the plone, Tesso begon chotting with Sobrino.

"Once you ore home, pleose let me know when your fomily is free. I plon to meet your

porents ond discuss the detoils regording your morrioge with Timothy."

Although Sobrino wos o little shy, she still nodded, ogreeing with Tesso's words. "I will

inform my porents once I get bock."

Once she wos finolly on home soil, Tesso took the time to rest ot home while looking ofter

Gregory ond Gordon for two doys.

On the other hond, Nicholos returned to the compony on the second doy to deol with the

business offoirs occumuloted while he wos owoy.

The doys possed by peocefully yet hoppily.

On this doy, Sobrino come to visit Tesso.

When Tesso sow her, she osked, "Did you tell your porents obout the two fomilies hoving

dinner ond discussing your morrioge ofter you went bock?"

"I did. I come here todoy precisely becouse of this motter."

As she spoke, o foint crimson hue surfoced on Sobrino's cheeks. Cleorly, she wos feeling o

little boshful obout the motter ot hond.

"Thank you, Miss Sofia!" Tessa expressed her gratitude.

When she returned home that night, she told everyone the good news.

Stefania immediately decided to return to Xerthania the very next day.

The next morning, the family got up early and set off for the airport.

Timothy and Sabrina were already waiting for them at the airport.

Since Timothy would return to campus today, he figured Sabrina might as well return to

Xerthania with Tessa.

Once they got on the plane, Tessa began chatting with Sabrina.

"Once you are home, please let me know when your family is free. I plan to meet your

parents and discuss the details regarding your marriage with Timothy."

Although Sabrina was a little shy, she still nodded, agreeing with Tessa's words. "I will

inform my parents once I get back."

Once she was finally on home soil, Tessa took the time to rest at home while looking after

Gregory and Gordon for two days.

On the other hand, Nicholas returned to the company on the second day to deal with the

business affairs accumulated while he was away.

The days passed by peacefully yet happily.

On this day, Sabrina came to visit Tessa.

When Tessa saw her, she asked, "Did you tell your parents about the two families having

dinner and discussing your marriage after you went back?"

"I did. I came here today precisely because of this matter."

As she spoke, a faint crimson hue surfaced on Sabrina's cheeks. Clearly, she was feeling a

little bashful about the matter at hand.
