Chapter 1393
Peck''s Manor.
When Chloe walked into the living room, it seemed that only Bryson was waiting for her. He saw her
and immediately went over to greet her, "Miss Chloe, Miss Yasmine is waiting for you in the piano
room upstairs."
Chloe was slightly surprised, hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently and began to go upstairs.
Just as she got upstairs, she heard the sound of the pianoing from the room.
Chloe remembered her mother being her piano teacher when she was a child. Every time she saw
her mother ying the piano in her leisure time, she thought it was the most beautiful scene.
The piano from her memories was ced next to her bed. Her mother liked to sit there ying it in
the afternoon. The sunlight shone on her through the window. She sat there calmly, her fingers
dancing on the ck and white keys, ying a wonderful melody. She was still young at that time
and didn''t quite understand that feeling. She just thought everything was magical.
Why could those seemingly identical keys produce such wonderful melodies?
So her mother began to hold her and teach her to y the piano. Since then, she had been learning
to y it. She remembered that her mother didn''t y the piano very often, and until now, her
mother had never yed it again.
After many years, she now saw her mother sitting in front of the piano again, tapping on the keys
with one hand. Although the notes were a bit scattered, the melody could still be heard.
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. That was the first piece her mother taught her to y.
"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, how I wonder what you are..."
As Yasmine yed the piano, she began to sing this song until the song was over, then Yasmine
withdrew her hand. "You''re here."
"I''m sorry, mom, these days..."
"I heard, you don''t have to exin. Is Presley okay?" Yasmine asked.
Chloe nodded, "He should be okay now."
"Don''t worry about Damon''s parents. It''s actually a good thing that their bodies aren''t found. Royce
isn''t just anyone. With his ruthless character, even the Grim Reaper wouldn''t dare toe for him
so soon." Yasmine said.
A hint of surprise shed in Chloe''s eyes. Was Royce really that ruthless?
What she saw most often was his indulgence towards Elizabeth, and she didn''t expect him to have
such a side.
"Are you talking about the same person I''m thinking of?" Chloe asked.
Yasmine gave her a cold look, "What do you think?"
If there was anyone Chloe was afraid of in this world, Yasmine was definitely the first one. Just with
one look, she could instantly be insignificant in front of her mother. But she was right, not
finding their bodies was good news.
"Did you hurry me back for something?" Chloe asked.
A deep piano sound rang out, and the atmosphere in the room became heavy instantly.
"Are you sure you want to be with Damon? Chloe Summers, will you not regret this for the rest of
your life?" Yasmine asked.
Yasmine called her full name. Her tone and expression were very serious, as if she wanted to hear
Chloe make an important promise.
"Yes, I''m sure it''s him, and I will never regret it in my life." Chloe said.
Yasmine asked very seriously, and she answered very firmly.
Yasmine looked at her, and finally slowly closed her eyes. What else could be changed by asking
again?
From the first time she saw her, she could tell that Chloe was serious, more serious than ever
before. Moreover, now she was carrying two little lives in her womb.
"Chloe, I know you have your own opinions on many things, but I was the same when I was your
age. I thought all my choices were right, but they weren''t. I''ve lived so many years and always
thought I had seen through everything, but that''s not the case either. I can''t help you judge whether
a man is trustworthy or not." Yasmine said.
Yasmine could make the most urate judgments on many things, but men seemed to be the only
thing she couldn''t see through in her life. Maybe that was her fate; there were some things she
could never see through.
"No matter what the result is, I''m willing to ept it. If it''s not him, I don''t think I''ll have the strength
to love anyone else. If I don''t spend my life with him, I''ll regret it." Chloe said.
Yasmine clenched her lips, nodded, "Okay, I understand."
After a series of chaotic notes, Yasmine stopped, then took out a piece of sheet music from the
piano and said, "Have you prepared for the Y Country''s state banquet?"
Chloe saw Yasmine spread out the sheet music on the rack. She had a hunch about what was
going on and said, "I haven''t prepared yet."
Yasmine nodded, her eyes fixed on the sheet music in front of her, her fingers resting on the keys,
and didn''t y for a long time.
"y this piece at the state banquet then. Let me show you at first. It was my favorite when I was a
child." Yasmine said.
Chloe keenly noticed that when Yasmine spoke, there was a faint tremble in her voice. Did this
piece have some special meaning?
Chloe had doubts in her heart, but didn''t ask at this time. She just nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
After she finished speaking, Yasmine''s hanging fingers fell. A series of lively notes slowly flowed
out, the clear and pleasant sound was like the sound of water droplets falling from high above.
After a few minutes when the sound was over, Chloe couldn''t recover for a long time.
If she only listened to the beginning, she would think it was a cheerful piece. But after she listened
to the whole piece, what lingered in her ears was deeply touching.
There was innocence, expectation, longing, sadness, and helplessness. So many emotions
converged together, making people involuntarily fall into an endless aftertaste, wanting to savor
more feelings.
But this piece, if she just listened to it, maybe for some people who didn''t fully understand music, it
might not be the best.
Although she didn''t want to rain on the parade, Chloe still said, "I won''t deny that it''s a good piece,
but is it really suitable to be yed at a formal asion like a state banquet?"
Yasmine raised her hand, took off the sheet music, held it in, and gently stroked each note that
appeared on it, "This is a unique piece in the world. It''s only yed for those who can understand." Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
There was a strong curiosity in Chloe''s eyes. She couldn''t help but want to ask why it had to be this
piece, but Yasmine stuffed the sheet music in her hands.
"Do you want to listen to it a few more times? Can you y it?" Yasmine asked.
Chloe nodded and said, "No need, I''ve got the gist of it. Just need to familiarize myself a bit more
and I should be good to go."
Yasmine frowned, "You got it after just hearing it once? I don''t remember you being a musical
prodigy when you were a kid."
Sure, she was talented, but there was no way she could y it after just one hearing - even a
genius couldn''t pull that off.
