Duke frowned more. âAre you learning in the Winters family villa?â
He clearly sounded annoyed.
Dew took a deep breath and tried to remain calm as she said, âYou know that my grandmotherâs sick, and sheâs bedridden all the time. If I practice the piano at home, Iâll disturb her rest.
âBesides, George found a piano teacher for me. I want him to supervise me during my piano lessons too.â
After she spoke, she stared at the man, who was sitting on the couch, with a glint in her eyes However, Duke did not look at her at all.
He frowned and cast a glance at the piano.
He rarely interfered with Georgeâs arrangement. Even if he hated it, he would not say anything Dew breathed a big sigh of relief.
She was really worried that this man would ask her to move the piano out in front of everyone If that happened, she would be totally embarrassed.
At this time, George walked down from the second floor.
He saw the piano, which had been placed in the corner of the living room. âMom, what is this?â
âGeorge, this is the piano that I bought today. What do you think?â Dew raised her eyebrows proudly. It was the best piano in the biggest piano shop in Sea City. This was the imported piano that she had bought for three times the price. George walked up to the piano and pressed the piano keys with his clean fingers. Then, he nodded and said, âItâs not bad.â It was slightly worse than the piano he had chosen, but it would be sufficient for the time being He pressed the piano keys for a while, and the simple, short yet smooth musical notes formed into a melody Dew was stunned. âGeorge, do you play the piano as well?â âNo.â George pursed his lips and kept his hands away. âHow much did this piano cost?â Since he had suggested that his mother learn the piano, he should not let her pay for it. Dew siniled faintly. âThree million dollars.â
George frowned. âThatâs too pricey.â The piano of his choice had better tone and pitch, and its price was less than $2,000,000. âItâs really expensive, but this is the best piano in the shop. I acted very quickly to buy it at three times the price,â Dew said. âThis is the only piano good enough for guidance from Ms. Alice.â
George was speechless. He used to think his mother was merely selfish, but today, he realized that his mother was also quite stupid. She did not just buy the piano for $3,000,000, but she even thought that she had gained an advantage. Dew held the hem of her dress as she sat down in front of the piano.
She had not played the piano for four years, but she still possessed some basic skills. Back when she was in university, a song she had played on the piano made her the most attractive girl on campus and a goddess whom all the boys sought after. It seemed that she had not played the piano in front of Duke before. Dew then confidently pressed the piano keys.
She was going to play the song, âFur Elise.â
After she discovered that George had hired Alice to be her teacher, she practiced this song hard last night. She hoped that it would keep her and Ms. Alice close. She was familiar with playing the song by now. Duke would definitely change his mind about her after he listened to her play this song. Perhaps he would also admire her or even fall for her. However, just as Dew just put her fingers on the piano keys, someone walked into the villa. She turned around and saw a woman in a long red dress walk in gracefully,
