Always Been Yours Chapter 591
This mother and son really know how to control me, he thought as he pulled Tessa into his arms and said in a feigned strict voice, “You can go to the band, but come back immediately once you start to feel unwell. Otherwise, you’ll suffer tonight.”
Hugging him, she nodded obcdiently. “Don’t worry. I’ll come home right away and won’t stav a second longer. if I feel sick.”
After breakfast, Nicholas dropped Tessa off at the orchestra, and when Mona saw her, she quickly asked in concern, “Tessa, why are you still looking so sickly? Are you still unwell?”
“I’m fine. Thanks for asking.”
“Are you sure?” she asked again, still looking worried.
Right then, Hathaway came over as well and saw her ashened face. “Are you sick? Should I give you a day’s leave to rest at home?”
“It’s okay. I’m not that sick, really.”
Sensing the genuine concern from them, she flashed them a friendly smile. Hathaway didn’t say anything else after that.
Later, when Hathaway went to check on Group Two while they were practicing, she saw that everyone was performing very well, especially Tessa, who performed the best.
Seeing how much effort Tessa had poured in, she was filled with satisfaction in her eyes. During break time, she paced to her and complimented, “You played very well with others earlier, and you’ve done well to lead. Keep it up.”
Beaming, Tessa nodded, and the others came to compliment her as well.
“Miss Hathaway, Tessa is really amazing and gifted. Just two days, and she could catch up to us already.”
“I think if she keeps it up like this, she might become the second Kathleen, and maybe even surpass her.”
“I think Tessa is not that far off from Kathleen.”
Showered by their compliments, Tessa was very embarrassed and waved her hand, saying humbly, “Please don’t say that, guys. Compared to Kathleen, I’m still far off.”
“Hey, don’t be so humble. With the speed of your progress now, you’ll surpass Kathleen given the time.”
Giving her fair opinion, Hathaway wasn’t biased toward Kathleen just because she was her daughter.
Unexpectedly, Kathleen, who happened to pass by, heard her, and it sparked her anger.
She fixed her gaze angrily on Tessa, and they were filled with resentment, making her look like a poisonous snake. She wants to replace me? Not without my permission!
Meanwhile in the hotel, Hayley was curled up on the couch restlessly.
Worried that Nicholas’ men would find her before Jacob’s arrival, she could only pray repeatedly in her heart.
Then, her cell phone next to her started to vibrate and ring, and she hurriedly grabbed it.
At first, she thought it was a call from Jacob, but it turned out to be a call from home, and she couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
Picking up the call, she grumbled, “Dad, didn’t I already tell you not to disturb me during this period? Why are you calling me?”
After changing her phone number, she had only called her family to tell them that she was safe and ask them not to disturb her, but she didn’t mention that she was in Vienna.
However, Nero’s voice, which was interspersed with fury, boomed through the call. “I didn’t want to disturb you either, but yesterday, Nicholas suddenly terminated a few partnership projects with our family and even asked me where you were. What the hell is going on?”
Her face fell as she bit her lower lip. She didn’t expect Nicholas to react so greatly by implicating the Stone Family.
She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Dad, don’t worry about that. If Nicholas asks you guys again, just tell him you don’t know where I am.”
Hearing that, Nero had a hunch that something was wrong, and he questioned her angrily, “Did you do something stupid again?”
Hayley was silent for a moment. Gripping the phone tightly, she knew that she couldn’t hide it from her father. In the end, she decided to come clean.
