Chapter 321 Hopes for the Future
She sounded a little embarrassed when she said, “I-I’m already dating him.”
“Both of you are seeing each other?” Timothy exclaimed in surprise.
Tessa nodded. “We decided to give it a try. Tim… will you support me?” At the end of her sentence, she gave him an uneasy look.
“Tess, no matter what you do, I’ll always support you.” Then, staring at his wary sister, he felt so sorry for her. “As long as you’re happy, nothing else is important, including me.”
Even though he couldn’t bear it, he already knew that it was only a matter of time before a day like this would arrive, judging from her past interactions with Nicholas. In addition, Nicholas was the best person he knew, and Gregory was a very likable kid, so his sister deserved the best in the world!
As for the different status between the two families, he didn’t think that it was a problem. So what if they didn’t come from a prominent and influential family? He was still a young man with a lot of time ahead of himself, and he would do his best so that his sister could become a part of a wealthy family and stand confidently in front of others!
Not knowing what was on his mind, she was still equally touched by what he said earlier. “You’re a great person, Tim.”
She took a deep breath, fought back her tears with a smile, and asked about his life back at home. Of course, Timothy would tell her all the good things that happened. “I’m doing fine here. The company is on track and showing positive results so far.”
The siblings chatted for a little longer before hanging up, and Tessa still had a smile after placing her phone aside. However, when she looked around the empty room, her smile fell slightly, and she walked to the balcony, feeling a little lonely.
The sky outside was dark as ink, and only a few stars were hanging in the night sky. Placing her hands on the balcony, she gazed into the distance as the wind whistled past, rustling her dark hair.
Nicholas is probably still on the aircraft at this time, she reckoned. What should I do? He’s only been gone for a day, and I can’t help but start to miss him already.
As time passed, Tessa didn’t know how long it had been until she sorted out her emotions. Then, after regaining her energy, she returned to her room to wash up.
While she was deeply asleep, her phone on her bedside table started to vibrate. She opened her eyes and reached out to grope for her phone in a daze. Then, she saw the name on the screen of her phone—Nicholas.
“I’ve disembarked.” Tessa had just placed the phone next to her ear when she heard Nicholas’ husky voice from the phone.
She immediately woke up as she heard his voice, and a sweet smile spread across her face. “Go home quickly and have a good rest. You can go to the company later. Don’t tire yourself out.”
“Okay.” After hearing Tessa’s raspy voice, he recalled that it was probably midnight in Vienna now, and he said with a hint of guilt, “Did I wake you up? Go back to sleep and contact me when you’re awake.”
“I’m not tired, and I want to talk to you.” Somehow, she found it unbearable to hang up now, and he heard her intention behind her tone.
Actually, Nicholas didn’t want to hang up, either. Even though they had only been separated for a day, he couldn’t help but start to miss her, and he never thought that he would miss a person so much in just one day.
A chuckle escaped his lips, and he said affectionately, “What would you like to talk about?”
“I successfully got myself a teacher today and became her protégé as well as a reserve violinist for the orchestra,” she said, telling him the good news. “Miss Hathaway said that she will promote me to an official violinist from the reserve position when I have two-thirds of her skills. By then, I’ll be able to make a breakthrough in the industry with my accumulated knowledge.”
On the other end, he listened to her hopes for the future while pushing his luggage out of the airport. He narrowed his almond-shaped eyes as he gazed at the blue sky outside and suddenly felt like this bright sky was just as bright as their future.
“Congratulations on finding an amazing teacher.” His voice was gentle and soothing to the ears as he added, “I look forward to seeing you perform on stage.”
She rolled over and switched into a comfortable position in the dark room as she grinned like a child. “I hope that you can witness that day together with me.”
