Chapter 638 The look on Gregory’s face made it evident that he was just waiting for Tessa to praise him. Tessa
couldn’t bear to let the kid down, so she gave him a flying kiss through the phone. “Mwah! I’ll be waiting
for you to come over and perform for me.”
Gregory’s cheeks were flushed with shyness when he heard what the woman said. Then, with his tiny
hands holding the phone, he responded childishly. “I want to give you a kiss too.” Then, he pouted his
soft lips and placed them close to the phone’s camera. Tessa felt like her heart had melted into a puddle
at that moment. “How could you be so adorable, Gregory?!” she cried as she kissed him again through
the phone.
They were so immersed in the conversation that they had forgotten entirely about Nicholas. He sat by
the side and watched them interacting with a smile on his face. His eyes were full of love for both of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthem. After a while, Tessa and Gregory were finally done showering one another with love. Only then did
Nicholas manage to get his phone back from Gregory. A look of sympathy flashed across his eyes when
he saw Tessa’s skinny face through the call. “You need to take care of your health and eat more.”
Tessa’s face had been tiny, to begin with, but she looked skinnier than ever now. “I know. Don’t worry
about it.” Tessa’s eyes twinkled as she looked at Nicholas, and the smile on her face seemed especially
sweet. Yet, for some reason, Nicholas felt somewhat exasperated and annoyed upon hearing her
response. “You always tell me that you know how to care for yourself, but you forget about it the moment
you end the call,” he grumbled.
“I promise to take care of myself this time. The most tiring period of practice is over now, anyway.” Tessa
knew that Nicholas was worried about her, so she comforted him in a gentle tone. “Our teacher told us
that our practice schedules will be a little less packed from now on,” she said.
Nicholas smiled upon hearing this. He wasn’t genuinely mad at her-he just wanted her to know how
much he cared about her health. She quickly changed the topic when she saw that he was smiling again.
“I’m planning to bring the violin that you and Timothy bought me over to Mr. Louis for it to be serviced.”
“Sure. I’ll tell the caretaker to send you over,” Nicholas uttered with a nod. After that, they chatted for a
while before Tessa urged Nicholas to get some rest. It was getting late for him, after all.
He was also starting to feel tired, so he got Gregory to say goodnight to Tessa before they ended the
call. After the call, Tessa tidied her place up a little before she brought her violin out for orchestra
practice. That evening, she brought three violins over to Louis’ manor after practice was over.
“What brings you here?” Louis gazed at Tessa puzzledly. He knew that Tessa had been extremely busy
in recent days. She would drop by during her off days in the past, but she had barely shown up recently
since she had been so busy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I have a favor to ask from you today, Mr. Louis.” She beamed as she placed the violins on the desk. He
took a look at them before responding with a disdainful scoff. “I knew you wouldn’t come for no reason,”
he spoke playfully. Despite this, he stood up and walked over to check the instruments. “You didn’t
destroy all three of these violins, did you?”
“They’re not spoiled at all. I just wanted you to service them a little, Mr. Louis.” Tessa hastily
explained herself before opening the violin cases for all three of them.
All three violins had unique styles, but Louis quickly noticed the distinct details in each of them. The last
violin particularly excited Louis when he first saw it. “This is one of Stradivarius violins!” He stared at
Tessa in disbelief.
As a famous luthier himself, he was familiar with famous violinists all over the world. A violin as unique
as Stradivari’s violin was one that any violinist would hope to own in their lifetime. Louis previously heard
that someone had kept a Stradivarius violin as a keepsake for themselves. Still, he would have never
expected to see it with Tessa.
He ran his fingers gently across the violin’s surface before he gazed at Tessa. “Can I try playing this?”
