Chapter 1378 The Day of Celebration

Nicholas smelled alcohol on her, so he frowned. “Have you been drinking?”

“I haven’t. Just a little champagne,” Tessa answered honestly. She even shook her

head to get her point across.

He finally nodded in satisfaction.

After all, she wasn’t fully recovered yet, so she had to avoid alcohol.

He cast a look at the time and noticed it was already late at night. Thus, he urged,

“You should take a bath. I’ve gotten everything ready.”

“Thank you, darling. You’re so sweet.” Tessa couldn’t refrain from giving him another

kiss.

He’s so thoughtful.

After the bath, Nicholas asked her about the banquet. “How did it go?”

“It went well. The prince and the princess were there too. Besides, she’s a fan of Miss

Sofia.”

Tessa shared all the interesting stories with him. “Miss Sofia told me that the royal

family only invited that many musicians to perform during the celebration because

Princess Freya is fond of music. Prince Abott made such an arrangement to make her

happy. I bet he loves her very much.”

Nicholas wrapped his arms around her and leaned his forehead against hers before

asking, “Are you envious of them?”

The question drew a chuckle out of her, and she raised her head to meet his eyes.

“But I already have you. I don’t gain happiness from them, you know. It’s just touching

me.”

Her words put him in a good mood.

After that, Tessa asked him about their children’s well-being. “Did Gordon cry when I

went out?”

“He cried a little, but I managed to stop him. After Gregory and he played along for a

bit, I asked the babysitter to tuck them in bed.” He briefed her on what happened

when she wasn’t around. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Their hotel room had two levels. The children were sleeping in the nursery upstairs.

At the moment, the babysitter was looking after the children upstairs.

Even so, Tessa walked upstairs to check on them.

The babysitter quickly rolled out of the extra bed when she saw Tessa pushing the

door open and walking inside. “Young Madam.”

“It’s fine. You don’t need to get up. I’m just checking on them.” Gesturing for the

babysitter to relax, Tessa walked deeper into the room to see her sons.

Under the warm light, she saw Gregory sleeping on the bed, while Gordon was resting

in the cradle next to the bed.

It seemed to her that her children were having a good sleep. Their smiles indicated

that sweet dreams visited them in their slumber.

The sight touched a soft spot in Tessa’s heart.

After kissing them good night, she retired to her room.

She spent the following days practicing for the performance.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the Janqash Royal celebration arrived.

Tessa and Sofia arrived early because they were performing in the palace.

After getting out of the car, Sofia reminded Tessa again, “Stay close to me, okay?

Don’t wander off.”

“Of course.” Tessa obediently nodded.

The two had to go through strict security to get into the palace.

After all, the guests attending the celebration today were the royal families of

Janqash. Therefore, the security was stricter than usual.

Passing through the entrance, the spectacular grand hall came into view, showing off

the amazing Janqash craftsmanship to the visitors.

As she made her way backstage, Tessa discreetly scanned her surroundings without

drawing the royal guards’ attention to her.

Meanwhile, the backstage was bustling as the performers got ready. Even so,

everything went smoothly.

At that moment, a tall woman stepped out of the dressing room.

She was wearing a flamboyant court dress and a pair of lace gloves. Her wavy hair

poured out from under her top hat. The overall set off the vintage and luxurious style

of the costume.

There was makeup on her delicate face, and it was a bonus to her beauty. The black

veil on the hat covered half of her face, giving her a mysterious vibe.

The moment she showed up, a crowd formed around her.

“Miss Elisa, you look stunning in that dress.”

“People will be impressed by you tonight.”

“Miss Elisa, let me help you to the chair.”

People continuously offered to help her, trying hard to get on her good side.

Meanwhile, the woman enjoyed other people’s compliments and flattery.

Elisa was a student of the famous musician from Rasnos. She made her name known

around the industry at a young age, and her peers always looked up to her.
