    Chapter 217


    “Mel, don’t you like Barbie dolls either?” Harold looked troubled as he frowned. Guessing Melody’s


    thoughts was even harder than solving a mathematics question. He sighed. “Let’s sneak out and y.


    We can’t let Dad find out.” Melody obediently went downstairs with him. Harold held her hand and


    passed by the bottom of the stairs. Just as they took a few steps, Melody stopped moving. Compared


    with ying the slides, she preferred ying the piano. Mr. Albert had given her new homework


    yesterday, and she had yet to practice.


    Therefore, the little girl swung Harold’s hand away and sat in front of the piano. The elegant sound of


    the piano echoed. Harold’s eyes lit up. “Wow! Mel, you can y the piano. It sounds awesome! I’ve


    never heard such a melodious song.” The sound of the piano finally broke the awkwardness in the


    living room.


    Duke turned around.


    A girl in a pink dress was sitting at the piano next to the staircase. She sat up straight, and her long, fair


    fingers pressed the piano keys. She yed a happy nursery rhyme, which delighted those who listened


    to it. Duke was slightly surprised. Melody was just four years old, but her piano skills were actually


    great. She had to be very gifted in music. Just as he was about to say something to Adina, she


    suddenly got up and walked over. “Mel, you yed the wrong key just now.” Adina stood beside the


    piano and guided Melody patiently. Melody tilted her head and listened to Adina’s suggestion seriously


    before she yed again. “It’s weird.” Adina frowned. “The tune’s urate, but it feels wrong. Follow


    me, Mel.”


    She then sat on the other end of the long bench. The two of them yed the piano together as if


    nobody else was there.


    Harold did not like music. Whenever Dew yed piano, he would find it noisy.


    Yet, at that moment, he felt as if the song had magic. He was intoxicated and rxed.


    Duke looked at Adina’s back.


    He found her posture of ying the piano familiar for some reason. He once again recalled his memory


    of meeting the girl in Sea City High School many years ago. Why did he find the view of Adina’s back


    simr to that teen girl’s?

    Perhaps his stare was too intense, because Adina could feel someone staring at her from the back


    She suddenly stopped ying, and the music instantly stopped. Melody turned to the side, and her


    eyes were filled with confusion. “You better ask your teacher when we go back at night. I don’t


    understand what’s wrong either.”


    Adina stood up and acted nonchntly as she turned around. Coincidentally, she met Duke’s dark,


    profound, and curious gaze. Why was this man staring at her like that? Adina’s heart pounded quickly


    all of a sudden. She pursed her lips before she calmed down and said, “It’s gettingte now. I’ll go and


    cook some pasta for Harold.”


    She turned around and went to the kitchen. Duke looked down.


    He did not know why, but this woman was clearly avoiding him. He pursed his lips, got up, and went to


    his study upstairs. He also had a few questions about Project A-F to ask her. Only Harold and Melody


    were left in the living room. Melody was stubborn. She insisted on understanding things that she was


    not clear about, so she kept ying the same song again and again. Outside the vi…
