Chapter 1048 Appear to Be More Like a Family
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, both of them entered the manor and the
atmosphere was silent along the way. Angus shot a sideways glance at the quiet girl
beside him and expressed his concern, “I saw the news on the internet previously. Are you
alright?”
“I’m fine.” Tessa shook her head and took the initiative to ask, “I noticed that you haven’t
been here to see Mr. Louis lately. Have you been busy?”
“Previously, there was a medical conference and I was abroad the whole time. I just got
back a couple of days ago and I intended to ask you out for a meal, but then I saw the
news on the internet, so I didn’t want to bother you.”
Angus explained briefly as his eyes landed on the violin case Tessa was carrying. With a
smile, he asked, “Are you here to get Uncle Louis to tune your violin?”

“Oh, yeah. That’s secondary to why I’m here, though. I have a special concert planned
some time in the near future and I’d like to invite him to attend.”
“Am I invited too?” Angus met Tessa’s eyes and joked, “Since you’ve invited Uncle Louis,
then I should be invited too, right?”
At that moment, he looked irresistible.

Even Tessa, who was used to Nicholas’ handsome looks, could not help being mesmerized
by this charming man in front of her. Soon enough, she came back to her senses as a look
of frustration flashed across her eyes.
How dare I be enraptured about another man other than Nicholas!
Undeniably, though, Angus was quite the devil and she did not know how he could
possibly turn out to be prettier than her.
On the other hand, Angus did not miss her moment of rapture and the smile on his face
deepened.
Just as he was about to say something more, he heard his uncle’s voice ring out. “Why are
the two of you standing out there? I heard from the butler that you guys arrived earlier on,
but I waited for quite long and yet I didn’t see you walk in? Don’t you find the sun
scorching hot?”
Meanwhile, Angus glanced at his uncle, who had just ruined the perfect moment. With a
resigned expression, he had no choice but to stifle his words.
As for Tessa, she did not even notice his odd behavior as she grabbed her violin case and
happily ran toward Louis. “Mr. Louis, look here. I’ve brought my precious over to pay you a
visit.”
“I reckon that you’re just here to take advantage of me.”
Louis appeared to chide Tessa, but in fact, he glanced solemnly at her and frowned while
nagging at her, “Stop running. If you fall with your violin in your hands, you’d be sobbing
all night.”
On the contrary to his words, he quickly went forward and headed in her direction before
carefully escorting her to the side.
Soon, the three of them entered the living room. Subsequently, Louis asked the two of
them regarding the reason for their delay.
Tessa brought up the special concert once again and handed over the invitation card to
both of them respectively.
As soon as Louis saw that, he clearly approved and said, “Your teacher’s excellent in what
she did. We should definitely let those who aren’t convinced of your talent realize how
spectacular you are!”
Louis took the invitation card from her and then asked her about how the orchestra was
doing recently.
“Everything’s great. Everything is pretty much back to normal,” Tessa explained briefly.

the nice tea that you bought for me last time? I kinda like it. The more I drink it, the better
it tastes.”
“There is definitely plenty for you if you want more. Once my violin’s been tuned, I’ll bring
some over with me.” Tessa chuckled and promised him instantly.
Louis was obviously pleased and they chatted happily, rendering the atmosphere warm
and inviting. Meanwhile, Angus sat by the side and stared at the duo with a surprised look.
Uncle Louis and Tessa appear more like a family while I seem to be the outsider here. Yet,
as he looked at the girl’s beaming smile, he found all this to be natural. After all, it would
be hard for one to resist such a warm and kind girl.
Noticing that the time was getting late, Tessa excused herself when evening came.
“Miss Reinhart, it’s not often that you’re here. Aren’t you going to stay for dinner?” Angus
was keen to get her to stay on.
Nonetheless, Tessa rejected him with a smile, “I’ve got something on tonight, so perhaps
next time.”
“What are you up to? Do you need help?” Angus expressed concern.
She rejected him once again, “Thanks, Mr. Angus. You’re too kind, but it isn’t a major
issue. I just need to send my friend an invitation card.”
