Chapter 950 Guests Arrival
The sides of the cake were nicely decorated too, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a piece of art. “Did you make this yourself?” Nicholas snapped out of his daze and looked at Tessa in surprise.
Tessa didn’t plan on taking all the credit as well, so she said with modesty, “I just helped to decorate the top.”
Even so, looking at the whole picture, he still felt that Tessa made the whole thing. He held her hands gently and exclaimed, “Is there anything that these hands of yours can’t do?”
That evening, Tessa brought Nicholas and Gregory to the door to welcome the guests. However, when they stood together, it suddenly became a beautiful scene.
Even though it was a private party and they weren’t dressed up, they couldn’t hide their naturally well-built bodies. Despite just wearing their simple homewear, they still looked classy in it.
A while later, Sofia arrived with the other orchestra members. When they saw this family of three standing at the door, all of them felt that it was a feast for their eyes apart from Eunice.
“Tessa, Gregory, President Sawyer,” Sofia greeted them along with the others. Tessa replied to her warmly, “Welcome, Miss Sofia.”
Gregory greeted the guests one by one sweetly, while Nicholas greeted them with a nod and a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
When Eunice saw that Nicholas was less chic and abstinent than usual, but had more sluggish charm to him, her eyes were fixed on the man.
“Looking good tonight, Mr. Sawyer,” she praised him while running her hand through her hair, thinking that she looked enchanting.
Yet, the others knitted their brows together when they saw what she was doing.
Likewise, the smile on Tessa’s face faded, and she didn’t feel good.
As for Nicholas, he ignored the woman completely.
When he saw more guests approaching, he waved his hand to summon a maid and instructed her, “Bring Miss Sofia and the others in. Serve them well.”
As he said that, he turned around and said politely to Sofia and the others, “Dinner is ready inside. All of you should go in and get seated.”
Hearing that, Sofia nodded and brought her apprentices as they followed the maid into the manor.
On their way in, she didn’t forget to look at Eunice and sternly warned her, “Behave yourself tonight.”
When Eunice saw the sternness in Sofia’s eyes, she was a little terrified too. Thus, she suppressed her emboldened mind at once.
On the other hand, Tessa and Nicholas had already forgotten about the little unhappy episode with the arrival of their new guests moments ago.
Meanwhile, Louis brought his few friends and greeted them both.
Tessa knew these friends too, for they were musicians she had met in the bar before.
As they were speaking, Simon arrived as well. He too brought along a few friends who Tessa knew. Not only that, these people knew Louis and his friends as well. Almost immediately, all of them chatted happily together.
Seeing her seniors having a great time talking, she quickly asked a maid to come over and instructed, “Find Sebastian and ask him to quickly decorate the small living room beside the dining room. The guests will go over there later.”
Since she didn’t know that so many people would be here, she was afraid that the seats that she had arranged would not be enough.
It was lucky that Sebastian was really good at his job, and he cleaned up the small living room within minutes.
Then, a maid came out and informed Tessa, saying, “Madam Tessa, Sebastian said that everything is ready. He has asked you to not worry about it.”
Hearing that, Tessa nodded and became more at ease.
Just then, someone arrived again. It was Mona, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Sorry! I had orchestra practice just now, so that’s why I’m a little late.” She ran in small steps to Tessa with an apologetic expression.
However, Tessa didn’t mind it at all. She asked the maid to bring Mona in with a smile.
The last one to arrive was Edward. Although Nicholas came back early, Edward still had a lot of work to deal with as his most trusted assistant.
After Tessa let Edward in, only then did she realize that most of the guests tonight were her friends, and there were many of them, making a supposed simple gathering turn into a small private gathering.
Yet, only Edward came from Nicholas’ side. “I think I’m stealing the show. Sorry, I didn’t know so many people would come.”
