Chapter 835 Sofia’s Discovery of Gregory’s Talent
Despite Sofia’s words, she had in fact fully acknowledged Tessa’s skills. This girl is indeed an unpolished diamond and she’s worth cultivating.
As soon as Tessa heard that, she was frankly disappointed. However, she maintained her composure and smile as she asked, “So, Miss Sofia, what’s your decision?”
“Despite the flaws, I must admit that you’re very talented, so I’ve made up my mind to accept you as my student.”
Sofia kept her eyes fixated on Tessa and there was an exceptionally solemn expression on the mentor’s face. “You will also be the last student I accept in this life. I will teach you every skill that I possess.”
At that moment, Tessa was dumbfounded.
Sofia continued, “Don’t rejoice too soon about this though. Although I will teach you everything I know, the level of success you achieve would be fully dependent on your ability to comprehend my teaching. Besides, you might not get the chance to perform in the near future, so will that be fine with you?”
“I’m fine with that.” Tessa was significantly elated upon coming to her senses. She was not too fussed about the chance to perform as she much preferred to enhance her violin skills than anything else. By the time she got the chance to perform once again, she would be able to showcase her most perfect performance ever to the audience.
Then, she took some time to calm down before asking some questions about the schedule for her lessons.
Sofia was straightforward and responded, “Frankly, I no longer have the energy as I used to when I was younger. You just have to spare two hours each day and come over for practice.”
Naturally, Tessa was fine with the arrangement. They came up with a brief outline of the learning plan and started to make idle chat.
At that point, Gregory finally came to his senses after quite some time and happily asked, “Mommy, have you succeeded in gaining a master?”
“Yes, that’s right. From now on, I’ll come over for two hours every day to learn from Miss Sofia.” Tessa grinned and responded to Gregory.
It was then Sofia’s gaze landed on him.
She recalled that Tessa had brought this child along with her both times that they came over and Sofia smiled kindly. “You look quite young, so I didn’t really associate you with having a child this age.”
“Yeah. He’s my son.” Tessa wrapped her arms around Gregory proudly, but she did not continue the topic any further. Instead, she happily shared with Sofia, “In fact, Greg’s very gifted in music as well. His music inclination is as good as mine.”
“Is that true?” Although it was a question from Sofia, she was actually nonplussed. After all, he was just a child, so she was not too convinced of his talents.
Tessa was oblivious to her thoughts, so she solemnly nodded and responded, “It’s true.”
Noticing the seriousness on her face, Sofia could not help fixating her gaze back on Gregory as she asked, “Do you know how to play the violin?”
“Yes, Mommy taught me how to play.” Gregory nodded compliantly.
Meanwhile, Sofia was slightly surprised. “Could you play me something, then?”
He agreed and took Tessa’s violin in his hand as he performed a piece skilfully.
In no time, a joyful tune reverberated in the living room.
Although his skills were not honed, he had exceptional potential and he was much more talented than Tessa.
At that moment, Sofia was utterly dumbstruck.
She had yet to meet a child as musically inclined and talented as Gregory in ages. Instantly, she had the urge to take this kid under her wings as well.
After Gregory finished playing the tune, Sofia gestured to him. “Kiddo, come over to me.”
However, he did not walk over to her immediately but turned sideways and glanced at Tessa.
Finally, after Tessa nodded to signal her approval, he walked over to Sofia on his short, stumpy legs. “Miss Sofia,” he greeted her politely.
Sofia nodded with satisfaction and asked, “How old are you?”
“I’m five years old.”
“How long have you been playing the violin?”
“I started playing the violin after I got to know Mommy.” Though Gregory was unsure of Sofia’s intentions with the continuous questions, he responded politely.
However, his answer made her dumbfounded. What does he mean by that? He started to play the violin after he got to know his Mommy?! She could not comprehend the situation, so she directed her attention to Tessa.
Tessa understood the questioning look in Sofia’s eyes and merely responded with a smile, “Greg has been playing the violin for nearly a year now.”
“He’s only started playing for a year?”
