Stefania stood by the side and said jealously, “Though I took care of him day and night for the past few days, he’s still closer to you in the end. When you weren’t here earlier, he had been crying for quite a while.”
Upon hearing this, Tessa looked at the baby even more lovingly, just like Nicholas who was standing by the side.
On the other hand, Stefania looked at the two in puzzlement. “Didn’t you two go to the celebratory party? Why did you come back so soon?”
“There was a bit of an accident. To be on the safe side, we thought that it would be better to come back sooner.” Tessa did not hide this from Stefania.
Her words worried Stefania to no end. “You’re not hurt, are you?” She took a close look at Tessa, who shook her head. “I’m fine.”
“That’s good.” Breathing a sigh of relief, Stefania turned around and ordered Nicholas sternly, “Investigate this properly. Don’t let anyone else. hurt Tessa.”
Nicholas nodded. “I’ve already told my people to look into it.” The family then exchanged a few more words before going back to their room to rest.
Reaching their room, Nicholas helped Tessa to wash up. It was then his phone rang. The caller was Edward. He helped Tessa to rest on the bed first before going outside to answer the call. “Do you have any leads?”
“I only managed to find some clues, but there’s nothing definite yet,” stated Edward. Frowning, Nicholas asked, “Why?”
“The position Madam was in was the blind spot of the surveillance, so I couldn’t see who pushed her. However, I did check all the cameras in the theater and found that the madam came out at the end of the show. By then, most of the audience was already gone. Soon after Madam exited, Susan, who had a few tiffs with her, came out too. However, she did not appear at the entrance as she quickly went back into the theater again.”
After conveying what he had found out, Edward deduced, ‘I think this Susan character is quite shifty. According to the guest list, she should have joined the madam and the others at the party. Yet, she returned after leaving. Also, shel possesses the motive.”
Nicholas frowned upon hearing his deduction. This was because the timeframe he saw Susan entering and leaving the theater happened to match with Tessa’s incident.
With this in mind, he had a cold expression plastered on his face. “Send someone to tail her.”
From the start, this woman kept going against Tessa. Now that she can’t play the violin temporarily, there’s no telling if she won’t take revenge during this period.
Edward nodded.Hanging up, Nicholas went back to his room. Tessa, who saw him come in, asked, “Who called?’
“It was Edward. He wanted to report some proceedings of the company to me.” Nicholas did not plan to tell Tessa about the investigation; he didn’t want her to worry about it.
Not suspecting anything, Tessa told him to go to sleep. The next morning, Nicholas went to work early in the morning while Tessa and Stefania were taking a walk in the garden with Gordon.
Just as they were having a good time, Andrew came over. “Madam, Miss Mona is here.”
“Since you have a friend over, you should go attend to her. I can help you take care of Gordon.”
While saying that, Stefania carried Gordon. “Oh my, my dear grandson. Aren’t you the most precious thing?”
She then kissed Gordon, who laughed happily. Seeing this, Tessa smiled before heading to the living room. In the living room, Mona was sitting on the couch.
Upon seeing Tessa wheeling herself in, she quickly went over to help her while asking her about last night’s incident.”I heard that you nearly got into another car accident last night. Are you fine?”
“I was a bit spooked, but I’m fine now.” Tessa smiled in response. The two went over to the couch before Mona helped her to the couch and continued, “It’s good that you’re fine now. I was worried sick when I heard what happened to you, but there was just too much going on last night.
After the party, it was already quite late. Thinking that you might be asleep, I decided to not disturb you. Now that I know you’re fine, I can truly breathe a sigh of relief.”
