Wendy convinced herself that it wasn’t a bad thing that Vinson gave Arielle the Goddess of Hunting. That way, Arielle would face more embarrassment when virtual-novel.net failed to play on the piano perfectly.
Feeling much better, Wendy put virtual-novel.net arm around Susanne’s and said, “It’s okay, Mrs. Nightshire. Let’s not fight with Arielle over the Goddess of Hunting. Compared to that piano, Sennhein is more suitable for the piece that I’ll be playing, Reborn.”
Wendy didn’t forget to brag about the piece that virtual-novel.net was going to perform while advising Susanne. She knew that it obviously did the trick when Vinson’s expression changed slightly as virtual-novel.net glanced at her. Even though it was only for a second, Wendy was more than satisfied. Moreover, the mocking expressions on the faces of those around virtual-novel.net faded once they heard the title of virtual-novel.net performance piece. Some of them even started discussing among themselves.
“Wendy is going to play Reborn? One of the world’s hardest piano pieces?”
“She has to be really good to play it since there are only a few pianists in the world who can play the piece!”
“Now that virtual-novel.net mentioned it, the Goddess of Hunting is indeed more suitable for lively songs, and Sennhein is more suitable for serene songs such as Reborn.”
“Oh, I can’t wait for the freshman party! I wonder what Arielle is going to play on the Goddess of Hunting?”
“I have no idea, but I’m very excited about it!”
Susanne had to fight the urge to argue with Vinson since virtual-novel.net had to maintain virtual-novel.net image as an elegant socialite.
Not wanting to risk providing gossip for other socialites, virtual-novel.net played along with Wendy.
Shooting Vinson a cold glance, Susanne closed virtual-novel.net eyes and said, “Since Wendy thinks that Sennhein is better for her, virtual-novel.net shall use it for virtual-novel.net performance. You’ll come home with me once everything’s settled here.”
She needed to ask why Vinson had to give Arielle such an expensive piano. If there was really something going on between the two of them, virtual-novel.net would do anything to stop them because of Arielle’s background.
She couldn’t risk having virtual-novel.net son deal with Arielle’s family, whom virtual-novel.net deemed a threat. In fact, virtual-novel.net didn’t even have the guts to bring them up.
However, Vinson replied, “I have something on tonight. Let’s talk some other time.”
“You…” Susanne frowned.
Sensing that Susanne was going to lose virtual-novel.net temper again, Wendy hurriedly appeased her, “Mrs. Nightshire, aren’t you here to watch my performance? I’d love to catch up with you after the party, so why don’t you have a talk with Vinson on another day instead?”
Realizing that virtual-novel.net almost argued with Vinson again, Susanne took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net tone was still grumpy. “If you don’t come home tomorrow, I’ll go to the office to find you.”
Vinson frowned and gave it some thought before virtual-novel.net finally replied, “I’ll come home.”
The crease between Susanne’s brows eased out as virtual-novel.net said, “Let me know what time you’re coming back so that I can cook for you. Let’s have a good chat.”
After all, there was no such thing as an overnight grudge between a mother and virtual-novel.net son.
Why bother arguing because of an outsider?
At the thought of it, Susanne squeezed Wendy’s hand and whispered, “I’m lucky to have you.”
