Always Been Yours

Chapter 1088

“We paid to dine here just so we could hear your in–house musicians perform, but you ended up canceling the performance! If you refuse to let this lady go up on stage and play us a tune, then you’d be defrauding customers like us!”

The customers‘ complaints rose to a clamor. Since the waiter couldn’t afford to offend them, he appeased them and said, “In that case, I shall refer to our manager and see what he has to say about this.”

A moment later, the manager came out dressed in a business suit. He spoke to Tessa directly, “Ma’am, I think my employee has clarified that we will only have piano performances tonight. If you can play the piano and captivate the crowd with your performance, I’ll make an exception for you and bring you the violin.”

She nodded and agreed readily, “Well, then, I’ll perform with the piano first.”

She understood that the manager had his hands tied as well, and she didn’t blame him for trying to make things hard for her.

Gregory hurried over to Tessa and wrapped his arms around her leg. He stared at her with wide eyes and asked, “Mommy, are you going to play the piano? Can I play with you?”

He still remembered what it felt like to perform on the piano alongside Tessa, and he would do anything to relive that.

Tessa couldn’t bring herself to turn the little boy down, so she glanced up at the restaurant manager and inquired with a smile, “My son knows how to play the piano as well. May I have him perform with me?”
