Chapter 840 A Precious Gift
Sofia was significantly stunned at that point. He had achieved such great results in just a year’s time, so
if she guided him carefully, then he would definitely achieve great things in the future.
For a moment there, she had a very strong urge to mentor him.
After further consideration, she turned to look at Tessa with a solemn look and said, “You’re right.
Gregory is indeed musically inclined. If he starts to play the violin at a young age, then he would have a
bright future ahead of him. Would you consider letting me guide him as well?”
At that moment, Tessa was significantly stunned. Does Miss Sofia intend to take on Gregory as her
student too?!
Dazed, she was sincerely happy for Gregory. However, she did not instantly agree on behalf of him.
Although she wished for him to continue pursuing music, she respected him as an individual to make his
own decision.
“Greg, would you be willing to learn how to play the violin from Miss Sofia?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBlinking, he finally comprehended the reason why the lady had asked him so many questions; she was
interested to take him under her wings.
“Thanks, Miss Sofia.” With the intelligence he possessed, he instantly confirmed their student-teacher
relationship.
As soon as Sofia heard his childlike voice pipe up ‘Miss Sofia’, she instantly beamed widely.
She could not help herself from hugging Gregory tightly and her solemn expression became affectionate.
In fact, she had a son herself, but he was more into arts than music. He had told her from the start that
he was not going to get married in his lifetime because he planned to dedicate his life to his art.
This was definitely her greatest regret in her life. Hence, Gregory’s words struck a chord within her and
she was touched by that.
“Greg, could you address me one more time?”
Knowing that she was fond of him, Gregory, being the witty kid he was, instantly used his most adorable
and gentle voice to say, “Miss Sofia.”
“Ah…” Sofia melted upon hearing his soft voice and she thought to herself, It would be awesome if he
was my grandson! Though full of regrets, she remained fond of Gregory.
She took him into her arms and spoke tenderly, “I was busy conducting the test for your mom yesterday
when you came over and I forgot to prepare a present for you. I have something here for you today.”
As Sofia spoke, she gestured for her servant to head to the music room and retrieve a violin. Soon
enough, the servant brought over a very special and delicately crafted instrument. The violin seemed to
be an antique that had gone through times.
She stroked the violin affectionately and behaved as if the violin was her child. With a soft voice, she
uttered, “This is one of the precious violins that I have treasured for many years. It’s not a luxurious one,
but the timbre from it is rather distinctive. So, this is my gift for you today. I hope that you’ll be able to use
this and achieve great things in your musical path.”
At that moment, Gregory glanced at the precious violin in front of him with a stricken expression. He
turned around to seek help from Tessa, who had just come back to her senses from the surprising scene.

He might not be able to identify the violin, but she was well aware of the history of this violin.
This was the world famous ‘La Font’ violin that possessed a distinctive tone, worth up to millions.
“Miss Sofia, this gift is too luxurious.”
“It’s just a violin regardless of its worth and it needs someone great to play it.” Sofia instantly rebutted
Tessa’s words and she did not even give her the chance to further reject. She firmly insisted, “Besides,
this is a gift for the little student that I just took in here. Why are you the one rejecting it?”
At that moment, Tessa smiled as she could not come up with the words to respond. Finally, she nodded
at Gregory. It was a sincere gift from Sofia after all; if she rejected it, then Sofia might feel hurt.
As a perceptive child that he was, he thanked Sofia politely as soon as he saw the indication from his
mommy. “Thank you, Miss Sofia, for the gift. I’ll definitely practice well with the violin you bestowed me
with.” At this point, she was completely overwhelmed by his cuteness.
She had fun teasing Gregory affectionately before starting the discussion about their upcoming practice
schedule with Tessa.
“Since there’s Gregory to guide as well, then I reckon two hours a day will not be sufficient. Besides, the
two of you are not on the same level of progress.”
“I’ll stick to your arrangements, Miss Sofia.”
