Chapter 755 Ants Gnawing At His Heart


    Nichs burst out with a chuckle. “You’re overthinking it. I’m not going back because I want to take care of you. I will only worry about your condition if I go back. Besides, I want to spend this important moment with you.”


    After all, he had missed Gregory’s birth. He didn’t want to miss it again.


    Of course, Tessa didn’t know what was running through his mind, feeling rather happy after hearing Nichs’ exnation.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Over the next few days, Tessa returned to her hectic rehearsals.


    Time flew by, and they were fast approaching the date of the performance.


    With Nichs and Gregory by her side, Tessa was in a rather good mood every day, and her morning sickness had be less severe.


    Simrly, Hathaway would check up on Tessa’s well-being in the orchestra every now and then, and she could finally ease her mind seeing that Tessa was looking better day by day. “It looks like your husband is taking very good care of you. You’ve even gotten chubbier at the cheeks.”


    Tessa reflexively felt her cheeks, smiling sweetly. “He is indeed very sweet.”


    As the two weren’t being evasive, their interaction naturally didn’t go unnoticed by Kathleen as the woman passed by, and she was filled with rage and revulsion.


    She hadn’t been doing too well eithertely, but her mother was never as concerned with her as she was with Tessa.


    Sure enough, it had to do with this b*tch, Tessa. This wretch had seized her mother’s love!


    While ring resentfully at Tessa, a thought popped into her head.


    She heard this b*tch was pregnant, which was good news for her.


    With a childing, she’d like to see how Tessa could stillpete with her for the spot of the lead violinist.


    Plus, now that she had a child, she wouldn’t be able to seduce Scott anymore!


    Of course, as rejoiced as she was, it still wasn’t enough to offset her animosity toward Tessa.


    After all, she still hadn’t forgotten the humiliation the woman caused her!


    That day, Scott, who hadn’t appeared for a long time, came to the orchestra.


    Though he wasn’t touringtely, he was preparing for a solo violin recital.


    “I haven’t seen you in a long time,” asked Hathaway concerningly when she saw Scott. “What have you been up totely?”


    “I’m working on a solo recital,” Scott exined amiably while looking in Tessa’s direction with a smile.


    Hathaway didn’t catch his subtle action but was instead surprised by the news. “You’re opening a solo recital? How have I not heard about it?”


    “I’ve been keeping it under wraps before this. Actually, I’m here today to give you guys the invitation.” While speaking, Scott pulled out three exquisite-looking invitations and handed Hathaway her invitation. “I hope I’ll have the honor of having you there.”


    “Of course.” Hathaway epted the invitation with a smile.


    After nodding, Scott handed one of the remaining two to Kathleen. “This is yours. I hope to see you there as well.”


    “I’ll definitely be there.” Kathleen epted the invitation dly.


    However, her smile was no longer as bright when she noticed the third invitation in Scott’s hand.


    “Is this for Tessa?” she asked explicitly.


    Scott nodded in admission while handing Tessa the invitation.


    However, just as Tessa was about to take it, Kathleen started speaking sarcastically, “Aren’t you pregnant now? I’m sure it’d be inconvenient for you to go.”


    “You’re pregnant?” Scott looked toward Tessa with surprise as a hint of loss shed across his eyes.


    Meanwhile, Tessa shot Kathleen an icy re, having no desire to acknowledge this unountable woman.


    With that, she took the invitation from Scott with both hands, smilingly faintly. “I am pregnant, but as your friend, how can I not show up to your solo recital? I’ll definitely be there on time.”


    On the other hand, Scott felt as though ants were gnawing at his heart when he looked at the beautiful, smiling woman.


    Fearing his expression would betray him if he stayed for too long, he left after handing out all of the invitations, and Kathleen instantly chased after him when she saw that he was leaving in a hurry.


    However, as Scott’s mind was currently in a mess, he had no interest in having a conversation with her.
