Chapter 424 Tears on His Clothes

Hathaway patted Tessa on her shoulder while comforting her. “I will get to the bottom of this for you.”

“Thank you, Miss Hathaway,” Tessa replied with a depressed tone.

Hathaway understood what Tessa was feeling. She then continued, “I know a highly skilled technician

that can restore your violin to its original state, so much so you can’t tell that it was ever broken. When

this matter is settled, I’ll introduce you to him, so you’ll just have to bring your violin over to him.”

Tessa thanked her mentor, but her mood did not improve much.

She questioned in her heart whether the repaired violin would still be the same violin Nicholas had given

her.

As she mulled over the question in her heart, unbearable feelings took place once more in her heart. It

was at this time that she missed Nicholas very much.

Tessa took a deep breath before turning her gaze sideways. “Miss Hathaway, you should go ahead and

watch Kathleen’s performance. I’ll be fine after resting for a while.”

Seeing that Tessa did indeed have no desire for her company, Hathaway nodded and left her be.

As Tessa watched her mentor leaving, she grabbed her phone, went to an empty corner of the lounge,

and called Nicholas.

“Is the party over?” Nicholas’ attractive voice came from the phone. At this time, he was still handling

some affairs back in the branch office.

“Not yet,” Tessa replied in a soft voice to avoid others from listening in on her conversation.

Initially, Nicholas did not notice anything wrong with Tessa and asked, “If it’s not over, then why did you

call me?”

“I just… suddenly missed you, and thought I’d call you.” Tessa exhaled and pretended to be cheerful in

her reply.

However, Nicholas picked up on her odd tone and realized something was going on with Tessa.

“You’re sad right now. What happened at the party?”

Tessa was stumped. Due to her not expecting Nicholas to see through her so soon, she was

momentarily at a loss for words.

On the other end of the line, worry started to creep into Nicholas’ heart as he listened to the long silence

on his phone.

“Wait for me. I’ll come over now.” Saying this, Nicholas immediately took his car keys on the desk and left

for the door.

When Nicholas reached the hotel, Tessa was already waiting by the entrance.

The moment Tessa saw him striding toward her, an inexplicable sense of grievance came washing over

her. “Nicholas.” She immediately went and hugged the man, sobbing in the man’s embrace.

Nicholas tightened his embrace on the lady in his arms. His heart ached for her as he listened to her

sobbing.

“Don’t cry. I’m here now. No matter what happens, I’m here for you. Tell me what happened here.” One of

his hands gently patted Tessa on her back as he comforted her in a gentle tone.

It was only after Tessa cried for a while in the man’s embrace did her mood improve.

She then backed out from Nicholas’ embrace while wiping her tears in slight embarrassment.

When she saw the spot on the chest area of Nicholas’ clothes stained with her tears, her cheeks turned

red from embarrassment.

“I’m sorry for dirtying your clothes.”

Nicholas looked down on the wet spot and paid no further mind to it. “This is not the time for this. Tell me,

what happened to you?” He pursued the question once more with a serious expression as he stared

deeply at Tessa.

Tessa bit her lip before finally telling him about the incident. “Someone broke the violin you gave me.”

As she said that, unbearable feelings came over her once more, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Nicholas was stunned for a moment before sighing out in relief.

He had assumed the worst had happened when he saw how upset Tessa was, but it turned out that it

was only the violin he gave her that was broken.

With such thoughts, he took her into his embrace once more and comforted her. “It’s fine. I’ll definitely fix

it for you since you cherish it so much.”

“But, I failed to protect the violin.” Tessa blamed herself while beads of tears kept rolling down her

cheeks.

Heartbroken over the sight of her crying, Nicholas kissed her on the forehead and continued comforting

her. “None of this is your fault. It’s fine since I know how much you cherish the violin. Don’t cry anymore.

My heart aches whenever you do.”

Tessa was startled by what Nicholas said. The man then continued in a gentle, warm voice, “In the

meantime, you should use the violin Timothy gave you. It’s also a good violin.”
