    “May your wordse true.” Then, snapping back to reality, Scott passed a ticket to Tessa, smiling as


    he invited her. “This is the ticket to our performance. I hope to see you on that day.”


    Taking the ticket, she broke into a smile. “Thank you. I’ll definitely be there.”


    Seeing the pretty smile on her face, Scott was in a daze for a second but quickly jolted back to his


    senses and hurriedly kept his gaze away. Then, picking up his coffee, he took a sip to hide his gaffe


    earlier.

    Meanwhile, Tessa didn’t realize that he was behaving out of the norm as she kept the ticket properly


    away in her usual handbag, and when she was done, Scott had already recovered.


    Rubbing the rim of his coffee mug, he asked, “Why did youe to Vienna, Miss Reinhart?”


    “I’m nning to further my studies at a music school here.” As she felt that there was nothing to hide,


    she told him the real reason.


    Astonished, he asked, “Why the sudden decision to further your studies? I’ve never heard you mention


    anything about it before.”


    A bitter look shed past Tessa’s eyes for a split second as she heard his question. Then, she lowered


    her gaze and gave her coffee a gentle stir, saying softly, “Actually, it’s not sudden because I wanted to


    do this a long time ago. Unfortunately, many things happened back home, preventing me from doing


    so. So, to maintain my family’s livelihood, I could only give up on the idea temporarily. However, things


    are different now. I don’t have to worry over my brother any longer, and the situation at home is well at


    hand. So, it’s only natural that I decided to make ns for myself this time.”


    After she finished speaking, she took in a deep breath and looked up at him with a smile.


    Looking into her bright, dark eyes, he was stunned momentarily butter nodded in agreement. “You’re


    right. It’s time you make ns for yourself.”


    Grinning, Tessa took another sip of coffee, and they started chatting about their shared interest, which


    was music. Since it was a topic that the both of them enjoyed, they were very engrossed, and it was


    already evening before they realized it.


    Scott gazed at her and extended his invitation with a gentle look in his eyes. “I wonder if I have the


    honor of inviting you for dinner tonight, Miss Reinhart.”


    After he had a conversation with her for half the day, his admiration for her had grown greater. Even


    though she was still somewhatcking in music theory, he was sure that she would be an


    aplished violinist in time, given her talent.


    Not knowing that he thought so highly of her, Tessa blinked yfully at him and jokingly said, “It’s my


    honor that a future violinist is buying me dinner.”


    Scott couldn’t help but chuckle. Then, he brought her to a high-end Western restaurant. Whilst h?ving


    their meal, they chatted happily in a harmonious atmosphere.


    Later, when they were finished with dinner, as Scott still had to practice for the performance, they didn’t


    make any more ns. Finally, he returned to the hotel after sending Tessa back to her apartment.


    In Southend’s Regal Gardens, the doorbell rang after Timothy hung up from a call with Tessa. When he


    opened the door and saw the person standing outside, he couldn’t help but look shocked.


    “Greg, why are you here?” he asked, ncing behind Gregory but he saw no one else. In that instant,


    he knew that Gregory hade here alone again.


    Immediately, a disapproving look appeared on his face. “Greg, didn’t I already tell you that you


    shouldn’t go ces by yourself because there are a lot of bad guys out there?”


    “Mr. Timothy, I didn’te alone. The driver dropped me here, and Daddy knows about it as well,”


    Gregory exined, tugging the hem of Timothy’s shirt.


    Hearing that, Timothy breathed a sigh of relief and let Gregory into the house. Then, after cing a


    ss of water in front of him, he asked, “Why are you here at such ate hour?”


    “Mr. Timothy, I don’t understand a part of the program you taught me before, so I came here to ask


    you.”


    Even though that was what he said, his eyes which were scanning around the room, betrayed him.


    After looking around, he didn’t see Tessa anywhere, and his eyes couldn’t hide the disappointment he


    was feeling.
