Chapter 1045 Sofia’s Suggestion
Since you’ve done wrong, you should be punished accordingly. As an afterthought, Nicholas beckoned Edward over. “Relay the news to Soren. Tell him to put his worries to rest.”
Edward nodded and headed for the police station. Considering that Soren was an accomplice, he had to be held captive even if he helped with the investigation.
However, he did not mind staying in prison after Edward told him the news. As long as his family was safe, imprisonment was nothing. Besides, it would not take that long either.
Eunice and Walter’s imprisonment marked the end of the issue. Tessa returned to her daily practice routine and Sofia came to her when she finished her practice today. “Miss Sofia.”
“Miss Sofia.” Tessa and Gregory greeted Sofia politely. Sofia nodded in response with a smile before inquiring about their practice and brought up something serious. “How many songs are you short of at the moment to proceed with the recording?”
“Two more,” replied Tessa honestly. Although she had been writing, there was not much progress. Hearing that, Sofia did not say much and talked about the following arrangement instead. “I’m planning to hold a concert just for you after you finish recording.”
The joy in Tessa prevailed astonishment when she heard that. “It’s my honor.”
“It’s a concert, and you’ll be much busier than you are right now. Do you think you’ll be able to take it?” In spite of Tessa’s happy face, Sofia was still worried about her because she was a few months pregnant.
Understanding her teacher’s concern, Tessa caressed her belly as the gaze in her eyes turned determined. “Don’t worry, Miss Sofia. I’ll manage my time properly to make sure I’m all well.”
Still, Sofia prioritized Tessa’s health the most.
For the following month, Tessa was preoccupied with recordings. Not only did Simon put high expectations on her, she was also strict to herself.
One month later, the recording reached an end.
That night, Tessa walked out of the recording room while holding a violin in hand tiredly. She breathed a long sigh. “Finally, it’s done. I thought I was going to puke there.”
Although she possessed fervent passion for her career, it was natural for one to be bored one day after cooping themselves up in that room for almost every single day.
Simon watched her with a doting smile. “You reap what you sow. I think those songs are perfect. I bet it’ll cause a huge wave when it’s released. Allow me to congratulate you in advance.”
Her eyes twinkled brightly at that. “I’m counting on that, but it is thanks to you and Miss Sofia too. I shouldn’t hog all the credit.”
Her humble attitude elicited an approving gaze in his eyes. “You and that humble attitude again.”
“I’m not being humble. I’m just telling the truth,” retorted Tessa as she scrunched up her nose.
Her adorable reaction softened his heart. While the two were laughing over the ending, Nicholas rang her up. “Have you finished with the recording?”
“Yeah, I’m packing up right now. I’ll be back soon.” She shared her part merrily while holding her phone.
He listened to her quietly on the other side of the line. Once she finished talking, he said gently, “Stay there. I booked an appointment at a restaurant. You should invite your teachers and your seniors over to celebrate.”
“I’m game. I’ll ask them about it.” She hung up the call joyfully.
Looking at her wreathed in smiles, Simon teased, “What’s with that smile? Is your husband coming over to pick you up?”
“Nope. Have another guess.” She blinked her eyes mischievously at him.
He raised his brow after which he made a few wrong guesses. “Fine. Save it for yourself then.”
Gazing at the prideful old man, she chuckled and leveled it out with him. “My husband is buying us dinner to celebrate the occasion tonight. You should hurry up and get ready. We’ll be heading there at any moment.”
