Chapter 640 Louis’ words amused Tessa, and she began to contemplate whether to actually take the music sheets
that he was offering her.
Angus seemed to have realized the look of uncertainty on her face, for he offered her some advice. “You
should take it since Louis is offering to give it to you. He can’t play the violin, so it’d be a waste to just
keep them here with him.”
Since Angus and Louis were convincing her to take the sheets, Tessa felt she’d be making things hard
for them if she disagreed.
Louis shoved the sheets into her hands at that moment. “I’m telling you to just take this,” he uttered.
She hugged the sheets against her chest. Louis’ offer touched her, so she rushed forward to throw her
arms around him. “You’re the best!”
Louis froze for a moment before he spoke in a disdainful tone. “What’s up with all this hugging?” He
clearly didn’t mean what he said. He had never had a partner in his life, and his true love had always
been the violin. Now that Tessa was clinging to him, he felt as if he had a daughter who was craving his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlove. Although he spoke as if he weren’t a fan of her actions, the smile on his face looked especially
warm and kind.
Angus couldn’t believe what he saw as he watched them from the side. He knew his uncle the best, after
all. Throughout the years, no family member could tolerate his uncle’s eccentric temper. Because of this,
many of the family members had distanced themselves from Louis. Even Angus had to bear the
consequences of his uncle’s nature just to get close to the man. However, Tessa’s appearance in their
life seemed to have changed Louis.
At that moment, Angus changed the way he gazed at Tessa. Tessa didn’t seem to realize anything-she
simply calmed herself down before handing the three violins to Louis. “I’ll need your help for these three
violins, Mr. Louis.” She glanced at him playfully.
Louis accepted her request. “I’ll make sure to take good care of these three violins. Then, after I check
and ensure that all three of them are in good condition, I’ll give you a call.”
Tessa nodded before the three of them went to sit in the hall for a chat. Soon enough, the housekeeper
came over. “It’s time for your meal, Mr. Louis,” he said politely.
Louis nodded before turning to extend his invitation to Tessa. “Why don’t you have dinner with this old
man?”
Tessa had no reason to decline his invitation. Angus couldn’t help but tease Louis when he saw how
much Louis liked Tessa. “Are you only asking her to stay for dinner?” he asked.
“Well, are you going to leave if I don’t ask you to stay for dinner?” Louis scoffed. He clearly knew what
was going on in his nephew’s head. “I wonder who insisted on staying around even when I chased him
away.”
“I was wrong, Louis. Stop bringing the past up.” Angus held his hands up to show defeat. He didnt want
Tessa to know about the embarrassing stories of his past.
Tessa pressed her lips into a smile as she watched the interactions between the two men. Soon enough,
they headed over to the dining area. During their meal, they didn’t have the habit of eating without any
conversations, so they chit-chatted about music while eating.
After the meal, Tessa sat around for a while before excusing herself to head home. After getting home,
she cleaned herself up before giving Nicholas a video call. On the other end of the line, Nicholas was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhaving breakfast with Gregory.
He gazed at Tessa fondly while asking about her day. “How was your practice today?”
“It was pretty good,” she replied before picking some exciting stuff to tell him. Gregory leaned in to get
some of her attention as well. While they were chatting, Janet walked over with a lunchbox. “I’m here to
visit you guys, Gregory and Nicholas.” She beamed.
Tessa heard the other woman’s voice, and she froze for a moment before looking at Nicholas. Nicholas
observed the look in Tessa’s eyes as he was worried that she would misunderstand the situation. “I’ll
explain things to you in a while,” he whispered.
Then, his expression darkened as he raised an eyebrow and stared at the other woman annoyedly.
“What are you doing here?”
Janet didn’t realize that Nicholas was on a video call with Tessa, and she felt rather awful when she
heard the unwelcoming tone that Nicholas used with her. “I didn’t have much to do, so I thought I would
come over to look for you and Gregory. By the way, I made some dessert for you guys. Try it!”
