Chapter 971 Wanda’s Vision
Nicholas didn’t hesitate in refusing her offer indifferently. However, Wanda was still unwilling to give up. She really wanted to show her capabilities in front of him so he would realize that she was a more suitable candidate to be his wife than Tessa.
But Nicholas wasn’t giving Wanda any chances. In the face of his aloof and distant demeanor, eventually, she ran out of things to say and could only remain silent for the rest of the trip.
Soon, the plane took off. Nicholas’ stunning appearance attracted the flight attendants’ attention, who came to serve him frequently. “Sir, do you need a drink, or do you prefer red wine?”
“Sir, do you need a blanket?”
“Sir—”
When given all these luxuries, Nicholas simply ignored them and handed them to Edward. On the other hand, Wanda, who was sitting next to him as well, was infuriated by their overly friendly service.
She obviously knew what the flight attendants were thinking. The only reason why she reigned in her temper and kept her mouth shut was that Nicholas was sitting next to her.
Regardless, she had already made up her mind to complain to customer service right after the flight! Have these women never seen a man before?
Throughout the whole flight, Nicholas barely talked to Wanda.
She had tried to use work to stir up a conversation a couple of times, but he ignored all of it. So instead, he leaned back into his chair and closed his eyes.
The man’s handsome facial features attracted everyone’s attention under the dim light.
Wanda stared at him in a daze. The love that she had for him was apparent for all to see.
She couldn’t help but reach out to trace the outline of his face.
When Edward noticed that she was about to touch Nicholas, he was so frightened that he quickly let out a cough.
If Edward had allowed her to touch Nicholas, Nicholas would definitely make him pay with more workload. He really didn’t want more work on top of his already hectic schedule.
Wanda was also taken aback by the sudden interruption and withdrew her hand guiltily.
When she looked at Nicholas and noticed that he was still asleep, she let out a sigh of relief. Then, she shot an annoyed glare at Edward.
Nevertheless, Edward feigned ignorance of everything and merely continued perusing the files in his lap.
After that little interlude, she didn’t try anything else and, most importantly, kept her hands to herself.
Later, by the time Nicholas had awakened from his light doze, the plane had already landed.
He deliberately ignored Wanda as he left the plane with Edward in tow.
She walked behind the two, feeling shunned and awkward.
When she noticed that they were about to leave the airport, she didn’t want to leave Nicholas’ side just like that, so she chased after him.
“Nicholas, can I take a ride back with you? My trip home was rather abrupt, and I forgot to notify the driver to pick me up.”
Nicholas furrowed his brows slightly as he regarded the woman looking at him expectantly before him and ordered, “Edward, bring Miss Muller home.”
“What about you?” Edward asked.
“I’ll take a cab.”
When Wanda heard Nicholas’ resolute answer, she froze on the spot.
On the same day, Tessa and Gregory were practicing in the practice room.
Therefore, when Sofia came, she saw that the two were harmonizing.
So, she stood by quietly and listened, surprised.
She was shocked that Gregory could play alongside Tessa so quickly.
Although Sofia could tell that Tessa was deliberately trying to match his pace, Sofia could not deny that the little boy had made very rapid progress.
At the end of the song, Sofia let out a round of applause for the two, indirectly alerting them of her presence.
“Granny Sofia, when did you come?”
“I’ve been here for a while. But, Gregory, you’re so good now. You can even harmonize with your mommy,” she praised Gregory lovingly.
He smiled shyly at the compliment and answered modestly, “Actually, it’s Mommy that tried to match my pace.”
Sofia nodded, then pointed out his mistakes.
After she thoroughly explained where he could improve, she sent the little guy off to practice.
Tessa watched this from the side before humbly inquiring, “Teacher, are there any flaws you can point out from my performance just now?”
“There aren’t any major issues. Just a few small mistakes.”
Then, Sofia began to analyze Tessa’s mistakes one by one and corrected them.
All this while, Tessa listened earnestly, giving Sofia her utmost attention.
“I feel that I am still not very good with my fingers. I’ll keep practicing.”
As she said this, she was about to head off to practice but was stopped by Sofia.
“Wait. There’s something I want to discuss with you.”
“What is it?”
Tessa tilted her head as she looked at Sofia curiously.
Sofia did not beat around the bush. “This morning, my assistant came to report that the song you posted on our official website has been downloaded more than five million times.”
