    Chapter 296


    Abruptly, Gregory turned around. Then, feeling heartbroken and angry, he shouted at Nichs, “Bad


    Daddy! I hate you!”


    As soon as these words left his lips, Gregory rushed to the second floor like a tornado. Then, he


    returned to his room and mmed the door hard.

    Bang! The whole second floor shook like an earthquake had taken ce.


    Nasty was not enough to describe the sullen look on Nichs’ face. There was even a feeling of


    helplessness in his heart.


    At that moment, Nichs knew very well that his rtionship with Gregory, which took much effort to


    be somewhat of a father and son again, would return to square one after today. But, even so, he


    did not regret it at all. I will never allow anyone to harm Greg! Even if that person is his biological


    mother!


    “President Sawyer—” Edward wanted to say something. However, he was interrupted by Nichs


    before he could finish his sentence.


    “You have no business here. Leave.”


    Looking at the cial look on Nichs’ face, Edward could only bite back the words that he was about


    to say. Then, he nodded and left.


    “In the future, Greg is not allowed to go out without my permission.”


    After giving his order, Nichs also turned around and went back to his study.


    Two dayster, Timothy realized that Gregory had not shown up for several days. And thus, he vaguely


    figured out a few things. That night, Timothy told Tessa about this matter when he was on a video call


    with her.


    “Tess, President Sawyer seems to have noticed your departure. He didn’t let Grege to find me


    these days.”


    Upon hearing that, Tessa stayed silent for a moment. Later, with a hint of bitterness in her smile, she


    said softly, “It’s fine even if Greg didn’t show up. After all, we’re from two different worlds. They are


    bound to simply be passers-by in our lives.”


    Timothy quietly looked at Tessa on the screen. I can sense the reluctance in Tess‘ words. It‘s just that I


    have no idea why she insisted on leaving. But since Tess doesn‘t want to talk about it, I won‘t push for


    answers until she‘s ready to talk about it herself.


    As he thought about that, Timothy changed the subject. He asked Tessa about the progress of her


    college application.


    “Tess, have you sessfully registered for college?”


    In the past few days, Tessa had been applying for enrolment into Vienna Conservatory. It was just that


    the progress was not looking well. The college admission qualification in Vienna was challenging to


    obtain. Tessa had been running around ces for so many days but still couldn’t make heads or tails of


    everything during that process.


    In actuality, she felt somewhat frustrated with herck of progress. However, in order to not worry


    Timothy, she pretended to be okay. “I’m still waiting for the news, but I’ll find a way. So, you don’t have


    to worry about me.”


    Seeing that Tessa was looking confident, Timothy did not say anything. Instead, he chatted about some


    family affairs.


    It was some timeter when the call was finally over. As Tessa held the phone, the smile on the corners


    of her lips slipped off her face as she returned to the bedroom.


    After that, Tessa threw herself on the bed. She stared at the ceiling above her head, feeling lost and


    miserable. Right now, her mood was very down. She was feeling down not only due to the college


    affairs. However, it was more because she had a hunch that this time, she might never cross paths with


    Nichs and Gregory ever again in the future once she parted with them.


    “Greg must be sad,” Tessa whispered sadly. Her heart throbbed in pain as her mind was full of


    Gregory’s reluctant look when parting with her every time. As for a particr callous guy, Tessa


    decisively chose to forget about him.


    The atmosphere in the room fell into somber silence. Tessa did not know how long the time had passed


    when the phone that she had left aside rang, breaking the silence.


    Grabbing her phone, Tessa checked who the caller was. She was a little surprised when she found out


    it was a call from Scott. Logically speaking, tomorrow is the performance day for Scott and his


    orchestra band. They should be rehearsing at this hour. Why does he still have time to call me at this


    hour?


    Feeling perplexed, Tessa answered the phone, “Mr. Brooks, is something the matter?”


    “Miss Reinhart, I might need your help with something. The assistant concertmaster of our orchestra


    was temporarily unable to perform due to a car ident. Unfortunately, the orchestra could not find a


    recement for the time being. So, I rmended you to Mr. Miller. Since this is a rare opportunity, do


    you want toe and give it a whirl?” Scott told Tessa the whole story.


    As Tessa listened, her heart was pounding. Once, I had practiced the notes on the music sheets day


    and night just to be able to perform as an assistant concertmaster. But an ident urred when I


    was one step closer to achieving my goal, and the position of the assistant concertmaster that I had


    earned through blood, sweat, and tears was given to someone else.
