Always Been Yours Chapter 583

Under the moonlight, the couple curled up together, looking just like they were a painting

The next morning, Tessa slowly opened her eyes to the low, dulcet tones of Nicholas’ voice.

“You’re up,” he said. “How do you feel?”

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

Realizing he was still worried that she would be affected by what happened last night, she shot him a sweet smile.

One look into her bright eyes, and he knew everything was truly okay now.

His lips curled up in a smile. “Get up and get dressed.”

With an assenting nod, she headed toward the bathroom.

After cleaning herself up, she joined Nicholas and Gregory in the dining room for breakfast.

Just then, she was suddenly reminded of the man who had saved her yesterday.

While she had been scared out of her mind, she still remembered hearing him call her ‘Miss Tessa. “Who was that man?” she asked, unable to resist the urge. “Why did it seem like he arrived way before you guys did?”

“He’s the bodyguard I assigned to secretly protect you a while ago,” Nicholas replied. Then, he uneasily asked, “You’re not angry, are you?”

“Why would I be? I haven’t even thanked you for that yet,” she said with a surprised chuckle. Then, fear rose in her once more at her memories of last night. “If you hadn’t assigned a bodyguard to me to stall those men until your arrival… Well, I’m too scared to even wonder what might’ve happened.”

His eyes darkened with pain at the sight of the terrified look in her eyes.

Not wanting to continue with this topic, his voice took on a teasing tone as he smiled at her and asked, “So, when do you plan on thanking me?”

ILS SO

Startled, her eyes flickered before she understood what he meant. “It’s so nice to have you here,” she coyly said as she darted over to kiss him on the cheek.

In response, he wrapped his arms around her waist as warmth filled his gaze.

The couple stared deep into each other’s eyes.

Just as they were about to kiss, a killjoy spoke up.

Miss Tessa, I want a kiss too. I want one!”

It was Gregory, who was jealous because Tessa had kissed his father while forgetting all about

him.

His words made her snap back to her senses, and her cheeks instantly flushed red.

They had nearly kissed right before Gregory’s eyes.

Embarrassed, she squirmed out of Nicholas’ embrace.

Seeing that, Gregory rushed over to hug her by the leg and sweetly said, “Miss Tessa, I want a kiss too.”

There was no way she could say no to that. And so, she leaned down and pecked him on the cheek.

Meanwhile, Nicholas was feeling exasperated while looking at the scene before him.

He had also decided against taking Gregory with him ever again for his visits to Tessa. It wouldn’t do for Gregory to keep spoiling his fun.

After breakfast, Nicholas had his driver send Tessa to the orchestra.

Today was her first formal day at Group Two; it was a very important day for her.

The instant she arrived at the orchestra, Mona spotted her.

“Tessa, you’re so amazing!” Mona cried out as she excitedly dashed over. “From now on, you’re the concertmaster of Group Two!”

“You’ll have to work hard too,” Tessa replied with a smile and a gentle pat on Mona’s back.

“I can’t do it. Nothing I can do will let me catch you,” Mona replied in what little she knew of Tessa’s native language.

“It’s actually ‘catch up to you,” Tessa corrected her while the urge to laugh or cry warred within her.

Just as she said that, the other members of the orchestra approached them.

“Congratulations, Tessa. We’re so sorry for how narrow-minded we were before. I hope you’ll forgive us.

“Yeah. Sorry”

“We know now why Miss Hathaway thinks so highly of you. You’re very talented.”

IOW

The last person to speak gave her a thumbs up.

She smiled, and just as she was about to speak, Kathleen appeared.

With obviously faked happiness, she congratulated Tessa as well. “Congratulations, Tessa. Your dream came true. Finally, you’re the concertmaster.”

Even though Tessa wondered if Kathleen actually meant what she said, she still smiled and thanked her.

After a brief bout of chatter and laughter, Hathaway arrived.
