Chapter 822 The Untangled Knot
The nun looked at Tessa with leniency while offering her heartening words. “I’m not sure what has happened to you, but the people who care for you will be worried if you keep this up. You’re making it difficult for yourself and others. It’s not worth it.”
Right. It’s not my fault. Why should I punish myself because of someone else’s mistake?
Tessa’s eyes lit up when she figured it out after the epiphany struck upon her. Just as she was going to express her gratitude for untangling the knot in her heart, the nun was nowhere to be found whereas Nicholas was watching her intensely nearby.
Given the circumstances, how could she not comprehend the situation by now? Nicholas had asked a favor of the nun for sure.
In that fleeting second, every moment spent in the last two days conjured in her head. She was deeply touched to know that Nicholas had been trying his best to untie the knot in her so that she could cheer up.
He’s being considerate by paying attention to every single detail just for me. I shouldn’t make him worried.
With hindsight, Tessa scurried her way to him and hugged his waist. In a choked voice, she suggested, “Let’s go home. I miss Gregory.”
“Okay. Let’s head home.” He wrapped his arm around her waist and they left the cathedral to head toward the airport.
Since the flight took more than ten hours, they arrived home on the second day. As soon as Gregory saw Tessa, he scampered his way to her and gave her a hug. He was being a sweet boy today.
It was because Nicholas had phoned him beforehand to inform him to behave because Tessa was in a bad mood and hence the sight of the caring boy hugging his mother sweetly. “Welcome home, Mommy.”
His dazzling smile warmed her heart and lightened her mood ever so easily.
That night, Timothy found out about the incident that had transpired in Vienna after which he spared some time to pay Tessa a visit. Timothy and Gregory acted in sync and were being playful to make her happy.
The pall that had been plaguing her mind was now replaced by happiness and hence the frequent smiling face, which put Nicholas’ mind at ease.
The second day Tessa returned to the country was the same day as Kathleen’s funeral in Vienna. The grand funeral was filled to the brim. Numerous media outlets were releasing articles pertaining to it on the same day too.
‘The End of the Renowned Violinist, Kathleen.’
‘A Flashback of Kathleen’s Success.’
While the articles were taking one back to the memory lane of Kathleen’s past, netizens and her fans flooded the comment section beneath them.
‘Rest in peace, Kathleen. You will stay in our heart for eternity.’
Due to Kathleen’s huge fame, there was news of her in the country too. Tessa was stunned momentarily to see them by chance. When she pulled back her senses, she stared at Kathleen’s picture displayed on the television while murmuring, “May you rest in peace.”
…
Before it was time to get off work, Edward knocked on the door before entering the office. “President Sawyer, Miss Muller is here.”
“Why is she here?” The frustration in Nicholas’ eyes was evident, but he let her in nevertheless.
The oblivious woman strode toward his side in heels. It seemed like she was in a good mood. Ever since she discovered that he was back in the country, she had been using business matters as an excuse to drop by Sawyer Group.
As soon as she laid her feet into the office, she was attracted by the handsome man, who was exerting an aloof demeanor. She could not even mask the admiration in her gaze.
“Nicholas,” she greeted with a smile.
“What’s the matter?” He nodded and maintained his indifferent yet professional disposition.
Although she was hurt by that, she had gotten used to it as time passed. The smile on her was unwavered as she proffered a document to him. “Two days ago, you told me to refine this contract and I’ve got it done. Please take a look at it.”
He nodded and sifted through the document. Once they were done talking about business matters, she was just about to invite him for dinner when his phone suddenly rang on the table.
