Chapter 379 Cancellation

When Tessa came back home at night, Nicholas had woken up in Southend. After he washed up, he got

his phone and called Tessa as he came downstairs.

The call went through quickly, and Tessa’s face showed up on the screen, a smile curling her lips.

Obviously, she was in a good mood. “Morning, Nicholas.”

“Good evening to you.”

Nicholas noticed the happiness in her voice, and he chuckled, his voice sonorous. “Did something

happen? You look happy.”

Tessa blinked at him, and she lied, “Yeah. My teacher praised me today.” She hid the truth from him so

she could give him a surprise.

Nicholas never expected her to hide anything from him, so he believed what she said. “It’s just praise. Is

that something to be so happy about?”

“Of course. It means my teacher has acknowledged me.” She didn’t want to dwell on this topic, so she

shifted it. “Where’s Greg? Is he awake?”

“Yes. He’s right beside me.”

The moment he said that, the screen started shaking, and she heard Gregory saying, “Daddy, give me

the phone. Miss Tessa is missing me.” The boy took the phone from his father and gushed, “I miss you,

Miss Tessa.”

“I missed you too.”

Gregory smiled happily, and he said, “Have you eaten yet? And it’s starting to get cold. Don’t forget to

wear more layers so that the cold doesn’t get to you. If you’re down with the flu, you’ll have to take those

bitter medicines. They’re super hard to eat.”

Tessa was touched that Gregory cared about her so much. She looked at him gently. “Don’t worry. I’ll

take care of myself. You take care of yourself too, alright?”

The following days were the same thing for Tessa. She kept practising and practising, but she was also

counting down the days when she would be returning to Xerthania. However, something happened right

before they were supposed to leave. When Hathaway told her the news, she looked at her, shocked.

“We’re not going to Xerthania anymore?”

“Yes. The performance just got canceled. We’re going to Filisburg first. Xerthania’s performance is

delayed by two months,” Hathaway answered, telling her the reason again.

Tessa’s heart sank, and a look of disappointment was etched across her face.

Hathaway noticed her dour look, and she asked, “What’s wrong, Tessa?”

“I’m fine.” Tessa forced a smile. Hathaway looked at her suspiciously, and Tessa cheered herself up. “I’ll

be going back to practice if there’s nothing else.”

Hm. She doesn’t seem sad or anything. Hathaway nodded.

When she came out of the office, her shoulders slumped. Two months? But I miss them. When she came

back home, Tessa sat down on the couch and let her disappointment loose. It ran amok in her house and

filled the air with a gloomy vibe.

It wasn’t until she received a call from Nicholas did that gloomy air lift a little. She cheered herself up and

took the call, but the look on her face told Nicholas that she was not happy.

“You don’t have to smile if you don’t want to.” Nicholas saw through her forced smile, and he felt sad for

her. “Tell me what happened.”

She could hear the adamance in his voice. It was as if he was telling her that she could always count on

him no matter what. It was touching, and she felt like a mistreated child who finally saw her parent. Tessa

started sobbing, and she told him everything. “The orchestra was going to perform in Southend next

month. I was going to go with them and surprise you guys, but Miss Hathaway told me today that the

performance is canceled.”
