    Chapter 640


    Louis’ words amused Tessa, and she began to contemte whether to actually take the music sheets


    that he was offering her.


    Angus seemed to have realized the look of uncertainty on her face, for he offered her some advice.


    “You should take it since Louis is offering to give it to you. He can’t y the violin, so it’d be a waste to


    just keep them here with him.”


    Since Angus and Louis were convincing her to take the sheets, Tessa felt she’d be making things hard


    for them if she disagreed.


    Louis shoved the sheets into her hands at that moment. “I’m telling you to just take this,” he uttered.


    She hugged the sheets against her chest. Louis’ offer touched her, so she rushed forward to throw her


    arms around him. “You’re the best!”


    Louis froze for a moment before he spoke in a disdainful tone. “What’s up with all this hugging?” He


    clearly didn’t mean what he said. He had never had a partner in his life, and his true love had always


    been the violin. Now that Tessa was clinging to him, he felt as if he had a daughter who was craving his


    love. Although he spoke as if he weren’t a fan of her actions, the smile on his face looked especially


    warm and kind.


    Angus couldn’t believe what he saw as he watched them from the side. He knew his uncle the best,


    after all. Throughout the years, no family member could tolerate his uncle’s entric temper. Because


    of this, many of the family members had distanced themselves from Louis. Even Angus had to bear the


    consequences of his uncle’s nature just to get close to the man. However, Tessa’s appearance in their


    life seemed to have changed Louis.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    At that moment, Angus changed the way he gazed at Tessa. Tessa didn’t seem to realize anything-she


    simply calmed herself down before handing the three violins to Louis. “I’ll need your help for these


    three violins, Mr. Louis.” She nced at him yfully.


    Louis epted her request. “I’ll make sure to take good care of these three violins. Then, after I check


    and ensure that all three of them are in good condition, I’ll give you a call.”


    Tessa nodded before the three of them went to sit in the hall for a chat. Soon enough, the housekeeper


    came over. “It’s time for your meal, Mr. Louis,” he said politely.


    Louis nodded before turning to extend his invitation to Tessa. “Why don’t you have dinner with this old


    man?”


    Tessa had no reason to decline his invitation. Angus couldn’t help but tease Louis when he saw how


    much Louis liked Tessa. “Are you only asking her to stay for dinner?” he asked.


    “Well, are you going to leave if I don’t ask you to stay for dinner?” Louis scoffed. He clearly knew what


    was going on in his nephew’s head. “I wonder who insisted on staying around even when I chased him


    away.”


    “I was wrong, Louis. Stop bringing the past up.” Angus held his hands up to show defeat. He didnt want


    Tessa to know about the embarrassing stories of his past.


    Tessa pressed her lips into a smile as she watched the interactions between the two men. Soon


    enough, they headed over to the dining area. During their meal, they didn’t have the habit of eating


    without any conversations, so they chit-chatted about music while eating.


    After the meal, Tessa sat around for a while before excusing herself to head home. After getting home,


    she cleaned herself up before giving Nichs a video call. On the other end of the line, Nichs was


    having breakfast with Gregory.


    He gazed at Tessa fondly while asking about her day. “How was your practice today?”


    “It was pretty good,” she replied before picking some exciting stuff to tell him. Gregory leaned in to get


    some of her attention as well. While they were chatting, J walked over with a lunchbox. “I’m here to


    visit you guys, Gregory and Nichs.” She beamed.


    Tessa heard the other woman’s voice, and she froze for a moment before looking at Nichs. Nichs


    observed the look in Tessa’s eyes as he was worried that she would misunderstand the situation. “I’ll


    exin things to you in a while,” he whispered.


    Then, his expression darkened as he raised an eyebrow and stared at the other woman annoyedly.


    “What are you doing here?”


    J didn’t realize that Nichs was on a video call with Tessa, and she felt rather awful when she


    heard the unweing tone that Nichs used with her. “I didn’t have much to do, so I thought I would


    come over to look for you and Gregory. By the way, I made some dessert for you guys. Try it!”
