Always Been Yours

Chapter 26

“She is Greg’s violin teacher, and her name is Tessa Reinhart,” Nicholas answered on Tessa’s behalf.

At the same time, Gregory excitedly helped introduce Yessa to his Stefania. “Have you forgotten Grandma? She was the one who played the violin during my birthday party!”

“Oh, so that was her! Now I remember. She played the violin really well.” Stefania took a while before she recalled the last time she saw Tessa.

Meanwhile, Tessa smiled faintly and replied, “Thank you for the compliment, Madam Sawyer, but at the same time, I’m sorry for coming here without informing ahead.”

“No, please don’t be,” Stefania responded with a friendly attitude. “I didn’t expect that Greg would agree to let you be his violin teacher. After all the commotion he made on the ferry, it seems that he truly likes you! Come, please take a seat.”

Surprised by the pleasant attitude that Nicholas’s mother showed, Tessa immediately thanked her and sat down.

Then, Stefania went on to order the butler to prepare some refreshments before she proceeded to ask Tessa more questions. “I didn’t get a good chance to know you, Miss Reinhart. May I know which music institute you graduated from?”

“I’m a graduate from Southfield Music School,” Tessa replied steadily, presenting herself with decency and politeness. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Upon hearing that, Stefania wasn’t unimpressed at all because Southfield Music School was the best music school in their country, although it was still outclassed by some other international colleges.

Therefore, she believed Tessa was no phony at all and had nothing to pick on her. “Oh, you graduated from a prestigious school. No wonder you played the violin so well.” Then, she added, “Well, since you’re already here, you might as well join us for dinner.” Stefania appeared to be satisfied with Tessa.

On the other hand, Roselle, who witnessed the happy conversation between the two ladies, could no longer hold her frustration back as she smiled and seized the right opportunity to say something. “It seems to me that Greg has changed a lot, Mrs. Sawyer. He used to shy away from strangers a lot, but he no longer does that now.”

When Stefania heard that, she said, “Not really. Greg still tends to avoid strangers most of the time.”

“Really?” Roselle ambiguously shifted her gaze to Tessa, smiling in an unfathomable manner. “But it seems to me that Greg is really close with Miss Reinhart.”

At that moment, Tessa felt her heartbeat rising, finally sensing the sarcasm behind Roselle’s words. She then turned her attention to Roselle, noticing the unfathomable aura beneath the gentle look on her face.

After that, she knitted her eyebrows and replied, “Well, I guess Greg probably liked it a lot when I played the violin well the last time, which is why he’s started to grow so close with me.”

When Stefania heard that, she smiled and answered, “That could be possible! Greg has always had it in him since he was little when it comes to music. After all, he picked it up pretty fast when a piano teacher was previously hired to teach.”

“Well, Greg is indeed an observant fast learner in music, and that he is an absolute talent. Tessa complimented Gregory, putting a smile on the boy’s face. At the same time, Gregory’s face blushed adorably right after the lady’s praise filled him with happiness.

In the meantime, Yana somehow felt disgusted with Tessa as she continued to listen to their

conversation. Thus, she sniggered and suggested something.

“Stefania, I can see that Miss Reinhart will be a good teacher, but If you really want to hone Greg’s musical talent, you should probably hire someone from overseas to help him. Don’t you think so?”

Nonetheless, Gregory refuted the lady with a long face as soon as he heard what she said. “No! I only want Miss Pretty Lady and no one else to be my teacher!” Then, he freed himself from Stefania’s arms and hugged Tessa’s lap, emphasizing his point like he was asserting dominance. “I said I only want Miss Pretty Lady!”

While Yana was instantly humiliated by the boy’s response and put in an awkward position, Roselle quickly interfered to help her mother by hoaxing Gregory. “Greg, my mom was just kidding, so don’t be mad.”

However, Gregory ignored her and looked away, turning his attention to Nicholas. “Dad, I don’t want any other teacher!”
