Chapter 385 Evening
She nodded at him and sat down. “What were you doing the whole morning?” she asked with a smile.
“Were you bored?”
“Dealing with work.” Nicholas smiled back and fileted a piece of fish for Tessa. “It was almost noon when
I was done. Time flew by, so I wasn’t bored.”
She nodded and happily bit into the fish he fileted for her.
They chatted as they ate. When they were finished, Nicholas asked, “Are you going back to the
orchestra now?”
“No. I can stay for a bit.” Tessa wanted to stay with Nicholas for a while longer. She suggested, “Why
don’t we shop around for a bit? Wash down the food.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicholas didn’t refuse her. He wanted to stay with her a bit longer as well. They held hands and went
around the streets, and their outstanding looks attracted everyone’s attention.
Scott and Kathleen were coming out of a Western restaurant from across the street. Kathleen noticed
Tessa by chance, and she looked surprised. “Hey, isn’t that Miss Reinhart?”
Scott looked where Kathleen was looking, and he saw Tessa walking together closely with another man,
but because of the angle, he couldn’t see the man’s face.
Kathleen said happily, “See? I told you she’s in love, but you didn’t believe me.” She felt ecstatic, as
nobody would take Scott away from her now that Tessa had a boyfriend.
Scott didn’t know what she was thinking. He forced a smile and said nothing, but when he looked at
Tessa, something uneasy stirred in his heart.
Tessa had no idea about that. She was holding Nicholas’ hand, and they were shopping around like any
other couple. She also bought a lot of stuff for Gregory, and Nicholas was supposed to bring them back.
Nicholas felt jealous that she was only buying things for Gregory. “Tessa,” he said softly.
“What is it?” Tessa looked at him curiously, holding a pair of denim jeans for kids. She asked with a
smile, “Does this fit Greg?”
“Gregory has enough clothes. You don’t have to buy any more for him.” He took the jeans from her and
placed them back on the rack.
Tessa blinked. Why is he so upset? Did I do something wrong?
Her train of thoughts were interrupted as he whispered, “My fall season clothes aren’t complete yet. Do
you want to come with me to the men’s fashion store?”
Tessa paused for a moment. She looked at him for a moment, and she realized that Nicholas was
jealous of his son. She was amused, but she took him to a few men’s fashion stores anyway.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicholas looked at her gently as she picked his clothes out for him, which made the retail assistants feel
envious.
About an hour later, Tessa had to return to the orchestra, but at least practice could help stave off the
longing.
Time flew by when she was working, and it was evening soon. Tessa quickly packed up and left. When
she walked through the doors, she saw Nicholas standing outside, a smile curling his lips. “Nicholas!”
She trotted over to him.
Nicholas looked at her and held her hand. “I’ll take you somewhere after dinner.”
She got in his car and asked curiously, “Where are we going?”
“You’ll know eventually.”
“Ooh, mysterious. I’ll be looking forward to it.” She winked at him cheekily. It’s not every day you get to
see him this mysterious.
After they had dinner, Nicholas drove Tessa to Vienna’s bustling city center.
