Chapter 620 Even so, Hathaway was delighted. She quickly asked someone to bring a table and a chair over Then,
she put the zither on the table.
Meanwhile, on Tessa’s side, she had already put on her finger cots and directly took her seat.
Everyone waited with bated breaths as they watched her actions silently.
With a strum, an elegant sound of the zither sounded. Shortly after, a song called ‘Fisherman’s Song at
Dusk’ gradually played out.
Everyone listened attentively, and the beautiful melody unknowingly attracted them. They could not help
but close their eyes and appreciate the music.
Following the beautiful melody, many could imagine an aesthetic image of the sunset reflecting on the
blue waves, the fishers being leisurely, and the fishing boats traveling with the waves at this moment.
The moment Tessa played this song out, everyone was amazed.
At the same time, everyone was shocked that not only did Tessa can play the violin so well, but she was
also so skilled in playing the zither.
Once the music ended, everyone applauded. There were even many who wanted to hear more.
“Splendid!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Oh no, Hathaway! I really want to poach your student in front of you now.”
“What stroke of luck did you have? It’s good enough that you have an outstanding daughter. The student
you accepted is also amazing!”
Hathaway felt highly proud as she heard everyone’s praise and envious exclamation.
Then, she stepped forward and held Tessa’s arm intimately. Finally, she beamed as she professed, “My
student is truly amazing. However, I’m sorry to say, none of you will be poaching her away from me.”
Many were highly amused by Hathaway’s triumphant look and declaration. The atmosphere of the party
was harmonious as it went full swing.
At this time, someone asked, “Miss Reinhart, since you know how to play the zither, can you play the
lute? I see that these two instruments played off traditional tunes, so the musical technique should be
similar.”
When she heard that, she wanted to respond to the inquiry. However, Scott’s gentle voice rang in Tessa’s
ears just when she was about to answer.
“I’m rather a little familiar with this instrument.”
“Scott, you know how to play the lute?” Kathleen was stunned. Besides her, Tessa also looked at
Scott in surprise.
I didn’t expect Scott to know how to play the lute. After all, the lute is mainly practiced by women.
Scott noticed the curious gazes around him as he explained with a smile. “I was curious before, so I have
been studying the musical instruments of Xerthania for a period of time. Perhaps we can perform a duet
today for you.”
After he finished speaking, his admiring gaze fell on Tessa. “Miss Reinhart, I wonder if you would like to
play the song ‘Mountain Torrent’ with me.”
“Of course.” Naturally, Tessa would not refuse such an invitation, especially since it was Hathaway’s
birthday today. After she answered with a smile, she turned around and sat back in front of the zither.
Two different timbres filled the air above the party a while later, and the octaves constantly leaped.
Sometimes the music felt weightless, and sometimes the heavy bass would make the audience feel
grounded. As one would expect, the performance was indescribably melodious.
The melody unknowingly enticed everyone, and they closed their eyes as they listened.
However, Kathleen was the only one among these people who did not enjoy the ensemble.
She gritted her teeth as she looked at the two who played in perfect harmony, wishing to destroy Tessa
so severely. In the meantime, her resentment kept surging to higher levels.
After the performance was over, thunderous applause sounded again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You guys work so well together. I’m totally captivated by the performance.”
“Scott, you really gave us a great surprise tonight.”
“It’s a lovely song.”
Everyone praised Tessa and Scott, but both were very humble when they received the praises.
At this time, someone could not help but ask curiously, “Miss Reinhart, are you familiar with many
musical instruments?”
Tessa nodded as she replied. “Apart from piano and violin, I dabbled in some of the famous musical
instruments unique to my country.”
When Kathleen heard these words, she felt that the resentment in her heart finally had an outlet.
“What’s there to brag about being a jack of all trades and master of none?”
Kathleen could not help but sneer. However, she realized she fumbled when she saw the gazes that
were shot from Hathaway and Scott the moment she finished speaking. Only then did she calm down
and berate herself for her impulsiveness as she backtracked immediately. “I mean, its nothing to fuss
about. After all, all musicians are a little knowledgeable about other musical instruments.”
As Tessa watched Kathleen, who forcibly defended her opinion, she didn’t take it to heart at all. Instead,
she said lightly, “Kathleen is right. Rather, it was me who showed my incompetence”
Others admired her even more, when they saw her being so gracious and humble.
