Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)
Chapter 1467

“Of course, Sabrina accepted gracefully. Just like that, they started dancing to the violin playing in the restaurant. When the music ended, Timothy tightened his arms around her and said in a soft but deep voice, “Promise that you’ll wait for me.”

“I promise, and I’ll visit you if time permits.” She raised her head and gave him a beatific smile. He couldn’t stop himself from lowering his head at the sight of her pink lip and kissing her. It was a passionate kiss, and none was willing to stop. They only broke apart once they ran out of air in their lungs.

She rested her scarlet face against his chest, her eyes were glassy, and her body weak.. Timothy was also out of breath, but the look in his eyes was clear because he hadn’t forgotten what he wanted to do. Then, he took out a jewelry box from the pocket of his trousers and a ring from within..

Sabrina was briefly startled when she felt something metallic slide onto her finger. Hence, she instinctively looked down and saw a delicately crafted diamond ring placed on her ring finger.

Then, a husky voice whispered into her ears, “Although this isn’t an engagement ring, I hope that you’ll wear it so that you won’t be harassed by some idiot.”

She giggled as a sweet, blissful emotion swept over her heart. “I’ll wear it every day, then.” Even though she didn’t say anything about the ring, her eyes never left it. It was clear that she loved it.

The separation came after dinner, and she sent him off to the airport. Although she was mentally prepared, it was still unbearable for her to see him leave when they were at the airport.

“Take good care of yourself once you’re abroad and have your meals on time. I’ll call every day to check on you,” she reminded with concern, her voice filled with reluctance.

Timothy naturally noticed this, so he hugged her and kissed her on the forehead. “Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of myself and visit you during every semester break.” Sabrina nodded, and then she remembered something and wriggled out of his embrace. “Also, don’t check out girls when you’re abroad.”

“Okay, I’ll do as you say.” As he gazed at the girl, who was fierce but cute at the same time, his eyes were filled with utter love and adoration, and they stayed sickly sweet for a while before it was time for him to board the plane. Sabrina watched as he boarded and only left when she couldn’t see him any longer.

Meanwhile, Tessa received a message from Timothy that he had boarded the flight. Then, she set aside her cell phone, tilted her head at Nicholas, and sighed, “I won’t be able to see Tim for a long time after this. I wonder if he can take care of himself when he’s overseas.”

“He’s already an adult. You shouldn’t treat him like a child, Nicholas advised gently. Tessa cast him an annoyed look. ‘He’ll always be my little brother no matter how old he is.”

He chuckled in amusement, pulled her into his embrace, and gave her a kiss. “You’re right. He’ll always be your little brother no matter how old he is.” Then, when he caught sight of his wife’s lovely smile, he tenderly said, “Once you’re better, we can visit him if you miss him.”

She nodded and wrapped her arms around his waist, smiling happily. ‘I’m so lucky to have you by my side.” He returned her smile with one of his own as he hugged her and drifted off to sleep. For the next few days, Tessa recuperated at home while. Stefania helped to babysit the kids every day. At the same time, Sabrina would occasionally drop by to see her and the children when she had time.

On this day, Tessa was playing with the children in the garden when her cell phone on the table started to ring. It was a call from Sofia, “Tessa, I heard that you were kidnapped! Are you okay?”

“I’m fine now.” As she didn’t want her mentor to worry, she didn’t tell Sofia the gory details and guided their topic to something else. So, she brought up her concerns about the performance of Group Two instead, “But I’m afraid I can’t be the guest of honor this time. I’m really sorry, but you’ll have to look for someone else to be the opening performer.”

“That’s not a problem. Just take care of your injuries at home, and don’t you worry about the band,” Sofia replied, and they hung up after a small chat.
