“Are you kidding me? I want to go too. Mom, Dad, why don’t you take me with you?” Kieran wailed and protested. Tobias snorted softly, “Why do you want to go? It’s not like you enjoy such music.”
“Singles aren’t qualified to make requests,” echoed Stefania on the side. Through this, one could tell that these two elders were highly discontent with Kieran’s single status.
Although Kieran felt utterly frustrated by their treatment, he didn’t dare to make a fuss any longer because he was already terrified of his parents, who kept urging him to get married.
So, he glumly finished his meal and then called to complain to Nicholas about the mistreatment he received after reporting the company affairs to Nicholas, “Mom and Dad have gone too far. How can they discriminate against me simply because I don’t want to get married? I want to attend Tessa’s concert too. Nicholas, please make them see reason!”
Nicholas was silent for a moment before he commented flatly, “I can’t interfere with our parents’ decision.” Unexpectedly, Tessa, who came into the office, happened to have overheard Nicholas’ words. Hence, she was confused and inquired, “What did Mom and Dad do?”
“Tessa, please help me. Only you can help me now. Kieran interjected, cutting Nicholas off, and pitifully begged for her help. Tessa walked over and looked amusedly at Kieran, who appeared on the computer screen. “Kieran, could it be that Mom has forced you to: go on a blind date again?”
Since she was now part of the Sawyers, Tessa knew that Stefania and Tobias were often troubled by Kieran’s reluctance to get married over the past two years. In addition, she also knew that the two even forced Kieran to go on a blind date almost every day.
Kieran immediately voiced his dissatisfaction about their biased treatment. In the end, he even went as far as to ask Tessa to persuade his parents on his behalf, “Tessa, tell me, aren’t Mom and Dad’s actions inhumane? The whole family will attend your orchestra performance, yet here I am being ordered to stay behind and look after the house by myself.”
Tessa burst into laughter when she looked at the grievance in Kieran’s eyes. “Actually, this orchestra performance will be broadcasted live via an online platform. You can watch it online on the day of the performance.”
“But that’s different. The actual atmosphere inside the concert hall itself will be far better than the atmosphere in a live stream.” Kieran still wanted to get Tessa to help him..
Tessa shrugged helplessly and said, “In that case, I can’t help you either. If I reason with them, thus siding with you, Mom will probably ask me to introduce my female colleagues to you. So, here’s how I see it: Do you choose to come and watch me perform at Wiener Musikverein? Or would you prefer if Nicholas and I start meddling in your relationship affairs and get you a girl-”
“On second thought, I’m actually quite skilled at guarding the house. So, Tessa, you don’t have to go through all that nonsense to help me,” Kieran interrupted Tessa before she could say the word girlfriend. Then, the three talked for a little longer and hung up.
Still, she couldn’t stop thinking of how fast Kieran changed his mind, so she amusedly wrapped her hands around Nicholas’ neck and said softly, “I wonder why Kieran is so opposed to the idea of having a girlfriend and getting married.”
As she spoke, something seemed to have crossed her mind, and she hesitated slightly, saying. “Could it be that Kieran has someone he likes but doesn’t want to let us know due to certain reasons?”
Nicholas narrowed his eyes at the possibility. The truth might really be as Tessa speculated. “I will have a good talk with him over this matter once I’m home and free.”
Tessa nodded. At the same time, the media also reported the news about Tessa’s upcoming solo special performance at Wiener Musikverein.
When Tessa’s fans saw this report, they were stunned, which was quickly replaced by excitement. One by one, they left their comments, ‘As expected! Our Goddess is the most outstanding musician!’
The day before the performance arrived on Tessa’s doorsteps in a blink of an eye. On that day, Timothy finally made it to Vienna. with Sabrina. “Uncle Tim! Miss Sabrina!” As soon as Gregory saw the two walking out of the airport, he immediately took Gordon’s hand and trotted over.
The two little guys hugged Timothy and Sabrina, respectively. Timothy and Sabrina beamed and embraced the two little guys in their arms affectionately.
Tessa, who had also caught sight of them, also approached them with Nicholas in tow. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the group headed back by car.
After their meal, they sat on the couch in the living room, bantering harmoniously. Nicholas and Timothy were talking about company matters while Tessa and Sabrina each held Gregory and Gordon and played with them.
As night fell, the two little guys became groggy as Sandman arrived to lead them off to Dreamland. Hence, Tessa asked the servants to take them to bed.
Whenever Timothy laid his gaze on his girlfriend, who was chatting and laughing with Tessa, it was always filled with utmost adoration.
The fondness in his gaze deepened a little after he remembered the other purpose of his visit this day. “Tess, Sabrina has always been curious about the music room you specifically used to keep your violin collections after she heard about it. Why don’t you give her a brief tour?”
