Chapter 1049 Willing to Forsake His Pride
In fact, Tessa had already made plans with Mona and Scott to meet up that night. Hence, Angus had no other option but to get up and walk her to the door.
Louis watched with tightly knotted brows as the duo walked out of the living room. Evidently, he could tell that his nephew had yet to give up on Tessa and his expression instantly darkened at the thought of that.
Disregarding the fact that Tessa and Nicholas were happy together, their family rules did not allow for his nephew to get involved with a married woman and end up being a home-wrecker either.
After a short while, Angus came back after sending Tessa off and he noticed that his uncle was sitting on the couch with a solemn expression.
Angus lifted his brows slightly and sat by the side elegantly. Subsequently, he cracked a joke. “Uncle Louis, I know that Miss Reinhart’s gone, but is it necessary to pull a long face at me? The smile on your face has disappeared completely.”
“Stop joking around and answer me frankly. Are you still in love with Tessa?”
Then, Louis glared at Angus and warned, “She’s happily married right now and is about to give birth to a child. You’d better put a stop to your wishful thoughts. If I see that you’re intentionally wrecking someone’s relationship, then I definitely won’t let you get away with it!”
“Uncle Louis, I’m supposed to be the one related to you. I’ve finally found the girl of my dreams after such a long time. Do you really need to be that harsh?” Angus looked accusingly at Louis and his stunning looks made him appear to look rather pitiful.
Too bad for Angus, though, because Louis did not buy that and even warned him once again, “You’d better be mindful of my words.”
Angus pouted slightly and felt that there was nothing wrong with him being in love with Tessa. There was a mesmerizing tenacity within that girl; she was pure, independent, and entirely sincere.
He had watched with his own eyes as to how hard she had worked and evolved from an ordinary orchestra member into a slightly renowned virtuoso now.
Over the period, Tessa had encountered various difficulties, but she had never been defeated by all that and only found a way to prove herself instead. Precisely because of that, Angus found that Tessa was a very charismatic woman.
However, as he recalled the girl who seemed to have a blissful aura surrounding her, he could not help admitting that he had met the right person at the wrong time.
Right now, he could merely admire her from a distance.
Not aware of Angus’ thoughts, Louis noticed that his nephew remained silent, so he frowned and snorted. “Did you hear what I’ve just said?”
“Don’t worry. I am not interested in being a home-wrecker.”
After Tessa left, she went over to the restaurant where she had agreed with Mona and Scott.
During their meal, she took out the invitation cards that she had prepared. With a cheeky smile, she said, “This is my first ever special concert in my entire life. So, as my friends, you guys must attend!”
“This is the chance to experience your moment of glory, so I’ll definitely be there!” Mona took the invitation card from Tessa with a smile. She was sincerely happy that her good friend had received such a great opportunity.
Scott also revealed a faint smile and nodded. “I’ll spare some time to attend it.”
Sometime later, they finished their meal and Nicholas came over to pick her up. As such, Tessa bade farewell to her two friends and went back with him.
As soon as they arrived home, Nicholas expressed his concern, “Are you tired?”
“Kinda. I’ve had a long day running errands outside and my feet are quite sore.” Tessa clung to Nicholas’ arm and acted cutesy.
As soon as he heard that, he was resigned yet sympathetic. “Gosh. I really have no idea what to do with you.”
Meanwhile, Tessa stuck out her tongue upon hearing the man’s doting tone of voice.
At that moment, the butler came over and asked, “Master Nicholas, here’s the nourishing soup you wanted me to keep warm for Miss Tessa. Should I send it over later?”
“Serve it right now.”
After Nicholas finished saying that, he turned to Tessa and continued to say, “After you finish the soup, take a warm bubble bath and then I’ll give you a massage before you go to bed.”
Hearing that, Tessa nodded meekly.
Shortly after that, she finished the soup and went to enjoy her bubble bath. With the man’s help to the bed, Tessa then enjoyed a massage treatment from her man, who applied the perfect pressure onto her.
She squinted her eyes in comfort before glancing at her masseur husband. It was then her heart was filled with warmth and fuzziness.
In the eyes of outsiders, he was the formidable leader of the Sawyer Family. However, he was willing to forsake his pride in front of her and be an ordinary man while he did all the ordinary things. Just for her.
