    Chapter 440 Meeting Louis


    Mr. Louis lived in an estate that was an hour’s drive from Vienna. Inside the living room, there were


    violin-rted decorations everywhere and there was even a huge wall cab behind the living room


    that was full with all kinds of precious violins. It was clear that he was a person who madly loved violins.


    Tessa heard footsteps just as she was admiring the violins in the wall cab. When she looked toward


    the source of the sound, she saw an elderly man with white hair walking over slowly on crutches.


    This person was Louis himself. Although he was almost sixty years old, he was still in good health. As


    he walked toward Tessa, the first thing he noticed was Nichs standing beside her with a powerful


    aura.


    Subsequently, Nichs met eyes with him.


    For some reason, Nichs got on Louis’ nerves. Louis suddenly scoffed andmented unhappily,


    “Youngsters have no manners.”


    Tessa was a little confused, not understanding why this old man would suddenly be unhappy. She


    looked at Nichs with unease, afraid that Louis would get angry and refuse to help her repair her


    violin.


    Nichs wasn’t too bothered about it, though. He knew that although Louis had a weird temperament,


    the man would definitely keep his promise.


    Thinking that, Nichs held Tessa’s soft hand andforted gently, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”


    She nodded, feeling her anxiousness gradually dissipate.


    As Louis watched them disying their affection in front of him, his face suddenly darkened. “Didn’t


    you say you wanted to repair your violin? Stop dawdling and show it to me.”


    Saying that, he ignored them and walked toward the sofa in the living room with his crutches. When


    Tessa saw this, she quickly broke free from Nichs’ hand and trotted to the sofa to open the violin


    case she had brought.


    “Mr. Louis, this is the violin that needs repairing,” she said while holding the violin up to Louis.


    The moment he looked at the violin, he recognized the famous Thena, one of the world’s most precious


    violins. However, when he saw the three broken strings, there was an indescribable sadness on his


    face.


    “Are you really a qualified violinist? How could you let such a good violin break?” He reprimanded


    Tessa unceremoniously as he held the broken strings of the violin with a sad and distressed expression


    as if he had lost his beloved lover.


    On the other hand, Tessa felt upset by him reprimanding her because she was indeed not a qualified


    violinist, for she couldn’t even protect her own partner.


    Thinking that, she sniffled before begging, “Mr. Louis, I didn’t mean to break it. This was an ident. I


    know that you’re a very talented luthier, so I’m begging you to please help me fix this. I know that it’s


    my fault for not protecting it well, but it’s very, very important to me.”

    Louis looked at Tessa’s sincere expression that didn’t seem like she was lying, and his expression


    eased a little. He didn’t say anything else after that but lowered his head and started to inspect the


    violin, only to find that the strings were maliciously broken on purpose by someone.


    “Your strings were cut by a sharp tool,” he remarked as his gaze fell on Tessa again.


    Upon hearing hisment, she didn’t try to hide the truth and roughly exined the events that


    transpired that night. “If I knew someone would try to ruin my violin that day, I wouldn’t have put it


    backstage and would have brought it with me wherever I went.”


    As she spoke, her eyes slowly turned red. This violin was not only Nichs’ birthday gift to her, but also


    a proof of their rtionship. Hence, it was extremely important to her.


    When Louis looked at the tears that were about to flow from Tessa’s eyes, he knew that she really felt


    sorry for the violin and his dislike for her gradually disappeared. “I can help you fix it, but you have to


    pay for it yourself.”


    Tessa wept with joy and agreed profusely, “As long as it can be repaired, I am willing to pay any sum of


    money.”


    Seeing the smile on her face, Louis said dismissively, “If that’s the case, go back and wait for my


    news.”


    She didn’t object, but before she left, she asked, “So, Mr. Louis, when can Ie and retrieve my


    violin?”
