Chapter 973 Sofia’s Invitation

After all, it took a lot of effort and energy to produce a good song—not to mention that so many people were now looking forward to Tessa’s first solo album.

Tessa was afraid that the effort she poured wasn’t satisfactory enough, and it would let everyone who had believed in her down. Furthermore, she wasn’t as spirited as before since she was now carrying another life in her belly.

In actuality, Tessa had lost considerable weight after half a month of intensive workload. On this day, in Xerthania, Nicholas purposely made a video call to Tessa during his break, for he missed her very much.

“Nicholas.” As soon as the video call got through, Tessa’s slightly weary voice sounded through the video. Looking at the woman in the video, Nicholas frowned tightly.

Through the video call, he noticed Tessa’s originally somewhat chubby cheeks had become rather hollow now. “I’ve only been away for less than half a month, yet you’ve tortured yourself into such a state?!” he questioned with displeasure as he glared at Tessa.

Tessa suddenly felt a sense of guilt when she saw Nicholas looking rather upset. Hence, she quickly explained to him, saying, “I didn’t torture myself.”

“Why would you slim down so much if you didn’t torture yourself?”

Nicholas looked at Tessa as he feigned dissatisfaction and interrogated her with a reckoning tone in his voice, “Tell me: did you eat well recently?”

Needless to say, his current austere appearance certainly had Tessa thinking he was indeed angered.

Since Tessa knew very well how much Nicholas cared for her, panic crept in as she immediately comforted him by saying, “Don’t be mad, darling. I did have proper meals. Ask Greg if you don’t believe me. It’s just that I don’t know why I’m still losing weight even after I’m eating well.”

Nicholas only pretended to forgive her after she acted coquettishly and flattered him. “Never do this again. Otherwise, I’ll instruct Sebastian to lock your study every night.”

Tessa was tickled pink by his words. Even so, she nodded in agreement and said, “Tomorrow is the weekend. Miss Sofia has already asked me to get some rest at home with Greg.”

“In that case, have a good rest tomorrow. I forbid you to do anything related to music. Not only that, I’ll ask Sebastian and Greg to supervise you,” Nicholas stated firmly.

Tessa could only agree to his demands.

Not long after they hung up, Sebastian came knocking on the door.

“Madam Tessa, this is the essence broth that Master Nicholas ordered the kitchen staff to cook for you. He wanted you to drink it before going to bed.”

As Sebastian spoke, he served Tessa the broth.

When she laid eyes on the bowl of essence broth, she felt moved by Nicholas’ attentiveness. So, she didn’t protest as she took it and finished it all in one go.

Thanks to the essence broth, Tessa had a good night’s sleep.

The next afternoon, Sebastian approached Tessa and Gregory while they were basking lazily in the garden.

“Madam Tessa, Miss Mona is here.”

Tessa was a little surprised by the unannounced visit. Shortly after, she took Gregory and went into the living room.

“Tessa! Greg! I’m here to see you guys!” Mona greeted them happily when she saw them.

“Good afternoon, Miss Mona!” Gregory greeted Mona politely.

Tessa, too, smiled and nodded in response. After that, she beckoned Mona to take a seat on the couch.

Mona looked around and asked out of curiosity, “It’s the weekend today, but why isn’t President Sawyer at home with you and Greg?”

Tessa only gave her a vague answer to her inquiry. “He has returned to Xerthania. Only Greg and I left at home.”

Mona chuckled and said, “I see. Since President Sawyer isn’t here, let’s go shopping.”

Considering she hadn’t gone shopping for a long time, Tessa agreed to Mona’s suggestion.

Hence, Tessa, Mona, and Gregory enjoyed their shopping spree and bought a lot of stuff during their afternoon out.

They had such a wonderful time that they didn’t go home even when it was already evening. Instead, they decided just to dine out as they planned to browse around more after dinner.

It was also at this time that Tessa received a call from Sofia.

“Miss Sofia, are you looking for me for something urgent?”

“It’s nothing. I just want to invite you over to my place for dinner.”

“Uh—” Tessa paused, sounding somewhat hesitant.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, Sofia noticed something strange and asked, “What’s the matter? Do you have anything else that you need to do?”

“Well, not entirely. It’s just that I’m currently with a friend.”

“It’s fine. You can bring your friends along with you.”

Sofia didn’t mind extra company, so she also extended the invitation to Mona.

With that, Tessa agreed to Sofia’s invitation.

After she ended the call, she invited Mona for dinner, “Miss Sofia invited me over to her house for dinner. Join us.”

“What? I can go too?”

Mona was flattered by Sofia’s invitation. Then, she exclaimed with excitement, “Tessa! I love you so much!”

She knew full well that Sofia must have only invited her due to Tessa.
