Chapter 409 Stealing the Spotlight at the Party!
Bianca was nervous while facing Leia's challenge. Her palm in Luke's hand started to sweat.
She did not know how to play the piano at all.
Bianca looked at Luke for help, but he was extremely calm.
Luke squeezed Bianca's hand, indicating that everything would be OK. He smiled and said to Leia, "I'msorry, my girlfriend hurt her hand yesterday. She won't be able to play for everyone."
He lifted Bianca's hand and showed it to everyone.
Bianca was peeling an apple for the twins the night before and had accidentally sliced her index finger.It was wrapped with a band-aid, and that was the perfect excuse for not being able to play.
The guests nodded in understanding.
Luke continued, "She might not be able to play the piano, but she has a sweet voice, and I think shecan make it up with a song. As her boyfriend, I shall be her accompaniment."
Bianca was shocked. She looked suspiciously at Luke.
She was indeed good at singing, but she was extremely shy and had never sung in front of otherpeople. How did Luke know that she could sing?
Luke smiled at her and mouthed the word "secret."
When his grandfather sent him to the small town to alleviate his depression, he suffered from insomniaat night. While running laps around the field to burn off energy, he suddenly heard a beautiful singingvoice.
Instantly, he searched for the source of the voice.
Under the moonlight, he eventually found a cute girl with shoulder-length hair singing under an ancientelm tree.
She was fully engrossed in her singing and did not notice his presence. He hid himself on the otherside of the elm tree, quietly listening to her singing. The young girl's voice was melodic and pure. Itwashed away the darkness of his soul and brought him to the light.
That was the first time Luke saw Bianca. He thought that she was special; she was not dazzlinglybeautiful, but she was pure and ephemeral. Her unique demeanor was hard to forget.novelbin
At that moment, her voice had nourished his barren heart, and her looks had charmed him.
He eventually found out that the girl with the shoulder-length hair was named Bianca Rayne. Thatname had occupied an important position in his heart since that night.
Of course, he had never told Bianca about that incident.
"Don't worry. I can play any song that you want to sing. Believe in yourself, and believe in me,' Luketold Bianca.
After listening to what Luke told her, Bianca took a deep breath and flashed him a big smile, telling himthat she was not afraid.
Luke carefully helped Bianca up the stage and seated her on a white bar stool. Then, he sat down infront of the piano.
The man rested his slender fingers on the keyboard. His ten fingers looked clean, and his fingernailswere impeccably manicured. Together with the black and white piano keys, it was a comforting sight.
Bianca sang "A Thousand Miles," one of her favorite songs.
"Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound..."
Her voice instantly captivated the audience.
Her voice was gentle and ethereal. With Luke's piano accompaniment, it was a mesmerizingperformance.
When Bianca started to sing, she could forget her surroundings.
The song had conveyed her feelings.
'Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles if I could just see you tonight..."
It was a very lovely tune, but Bianca wanted to cry when she sang that line.
Her relationship with Luke was approaching stability. Even though they had sworn to be with each otherthrough thick and thin, and Luke had promised her that he would be by her side forever, shenevertheless felt uneasy.
Leia's provocative gaze and posture did not give her a sense of security.
Her sixth sense told her that Luke might one day be a thousand miles away from her...
That worried her.
Luke was as elegant as a prince. His sculpted hands nimbly danced on the piano keys, creatingmusical notes that glided through the air like fairies.
It was a grand yet melancholy tune that carried Bianca's voice.
The men in the audience transfixed their eyes on Bianca, while the women stared unblinkingly at Luke.
The love and admiration for them were evident.
Bianca's emotional state was delicate.
With her clean and ethereal voice, she had voiced her yearning of being together with her significantother. As the song reached its climax, it was so beautiful that it caused people to cry.
At the end of the song, Bianca came to her senses when she fell into an embrace that carried the faintscent of mint. She had tears in her eyes.
Equally in a daze was Queenie Ziegler.
Her thoughts were once again occupied as she looked at Bianca, wondering how could that young ladybe so similar to her. Not only were their appearances alike, but even her singing too. Queenie loved tosing when she was younger, and her voice sounded almost the same as the young lady named BiancaRayne.
How could they be so alike? 1
The crowd was silent after Bianca finished her song. It took them a long time before they gave thecouple applause louder than what Leia received. The applause went on for a long time before ceasing.All the guests were convinced by the perfect combination of Bianca's singing voice and Luke'saccompaniment.
"You're so talented, Mr. Crawford! Not only you're a business prodigy, but you are a piano maestro! I'mimpressed!" "Luke's partner is amazing too. Her singing is better than some professionals! What amatching pair!"
The praises in the hall were unending. Luke and Bianca had taken over the spotlight.
Leia's chest was heaving as she struggled to catch a breath. She tried to press it with her hand tosuppress her anger.
'This shouldn't be! Things shouldn't have turned out like this!
'Bianca doesn't know how to play the piano. Shouldn't she have been the subject of ridicule in thisparty?'
However, Leia seemed to have done something idiotic. Not only did she not manage to embarrassBianca, but she gave Bianca the chance to shine!
