Chapter 316 A Memento of Our Time Together
At this moment, she truly felt like she was together with Nicholas. Although they had just confirmed their relationship last night, she still felt like she was living in a dream. After all, back in their country, she always felt that there was a vast chasm between the both of them.
The two of them wandered around all morning and had lunch at noon. Afterward, the two of them wandered around Vienna’s busiest commercial street.
Tessa was attracted by a bracelet displayed behind a window when passing by a jewelry store. However, when she saw the price marked next to the bracelet, she immediately stepped away. The bracelet’s price was more than 200,000, and she wasn’t willing to spend that much money on just a mere bracelet, no matter how beautiful it was.
Nicholas, who had just returned from a phone call, saw Tessa’s stunned expression and asked, “What were you looking at?”
“I wasn’t looking at anything.” She averted her gaze from the bracelet, then said with a smile, “Let’s go over there and have a look.” While talking, she pulled on him and left.
He cast her a knowing glance, then looked at the jewelry store without saying anything.
In the evening, Tessa took Nicholas for a stroll along the Danube River. As the breeze blew, the lake’s surface rippled, painting a beautiful and romantic picture.
“Tessa.” He suddenly grabbed hold of her.
She looked over with a smile. “What’s the matter?”
In the next second, a glittering light flashed before her eyes, and she saw the bracelet she was admiring earlier swinging in front of her.
“When did you buy this?”
She was both surprised and touched, not expecting him to buy this bracelet just because she gave it a couple of glances. Moreover, he obviously wasn’t there at that time.
When he saw the sweet smile on her face, the corners of his lips curled into a beautiful arc.
“Consider this a memento of our time together.”
As he spoke, he lifted Tessa’s right hand, resting on her lap, then put on the bracelet with a focused and gentle expression.
The bracelet glimmered around her wrist under the faint yellow street light like a shimmering circle of light, which was beautiful. However, she felt that he looked better than the bracelet.
Perhaps this was his first time putting on a bracelet for a girl, so his movements were extremely rusty, but he was earnest as if he was facing a business deal worth billions.
“Done.”
Three minutes had passed when he finally put on the bracelet for her. She shook her bracelet under the glow of the street light. It suited her well and was absolutely stunning.
At this moment, she felt like she was soaking in a honeypot—sweet and loved.
On the way back, Tessa finally asked about Gregory.
“How’s Greg been doing lately?”
“After you left, he was very down.” Nicholas didn’t hide anything and truthfully told her about Gregory’s situation. Casting Tessa a sideways glance, he asked, “Do you want to talk to Gregory?”
She was caught by surprise. Naturally, she thought about it, but the guilt in her heart left her unsure of how to face Gregory. In fact, she has been having a hard time these days. She missed Gregory very much, but she kept persuading herself not to think about it and that that was the only way she could control herself.
Perhaps noting her hesitation, he held her hand and smiled. “Don’t overthink this. As long as you are willing, I’ll arrange the rest.”
Tessa didn’t hesitate anymore as she heard this and nodded in agreement. She wanted to talk to Gregory and hear him calling her ‘Miss Pretty Lady’ in his child-like voice.
Nicholas immediately took out his phone to contact his brother upon getting the answer.
Later that day, the two of them returned to the apartment. Nicholas immediately made a video call to Gregory. The call was connected within a few seconds, and Gregory’s cool little face appeared on the screen. When he saw Nicholas, his face was chilly.
At this moment, Kieran’s puzzled voice sounded next to him. “Nicholas, why did you ask me to bring Gregory? You’re not even home yet.”
Nicholas ignored him and only spoke to Gregory.
