âAre you proud of yourself?â Bradley asked, his voice dripping with darkness.
Esther scoffed, retorting, âI wouldnât dare step out of line in front of you, Mr. Warner. After all, Iâm merely a confined tool to bear your child.â
For some reason, Bradley felt a sudden pang in his heart as he looked at Esther in her current state.
He couldnât comprehend why Esther resisted so strongly when all he wanted was for Felix to return to his side.
âGive me the concert tickets,â Bradley demanded.
Confused, Xara handed the tickets to Bradley. He glanced at the program and the performing orchestra listed on them and asked, âDr. Sadler, who gave you these two tickets?â
âAnna, the fashion designer,â Xara replied.
A mocking expression appeared on Bradleyâs handsome face. âAre you sure it was her and not Jasper?â
Kevin leaned in closer, curiosity piqued as he examined the contents of the concert tickets. With excitement, he exclaimed, âBradley, this is the renowned symphony orchestra from abroad. And you know whatâs most incredible? The first chair violinist is a girl whoâs only four and a half years old.â
Esther had heard Anna mention this prodigious girl before, so she curiously asked, âOnly four and a half years old?â
âYes, itâs said that she is a natural musical prodigy. Once she hears a piece of music, she can effortlessly replicate its melody. Her current teacher is Venus, a renowned musician from abroad.â
Kevinâs words successfully captured Bradleyâs interest. He looked at Esther, who was holding the concert tickets, and casually asked, âWould you like to go?â
Esther could almost predict Bradleyâs next words-âDo you want to go? Beg me!â
âNo,â Esther replied with a distant and indifferent tone.
âWhen I see her, Iâll think of my Tinkerbell, who didnât have the chance to fully experience this world before bidding it farewell. When I see her, Iâll think of my Pixie, whose whereabouts I have no knowledge of in this vast sea of peopleâ¦â
Bradleyâs expression turned cold as he listened to Estherâs heartfelt words, her grip still tight on the concert tickets.
âEsther, you donât have the right to refuse.â
Bradley glanced at the time indicated on the tickets-it was precisely at 8:00 p.m. tonight, He grabbed Estherâs hand and forcefully led her to an upscale salon dedicated to styling the wealthy.
âGive her a makeover suitable for a musical concert.â
âYes, Mr. Warner.â
Esther, devoid of emotions, was guided away by the salon consultant. They tried on one expensive and luxurious haute couture gown after another.
Estherâs tall stature, standing at over 1.67 cm, made every dress she tried on seem tailor-made for her.
Her flawless complexion resembled fine porcelain, radiating under the cool-toned lighting. She seemed like a dream, almost ethereal.
Furthermore, she was not the slender type. Her figure was slender where it should be, and she possessed curves in all the right places. Deep V-necks, backless dresses, or any other style. suited her perfectly.
Estherâs features were delicately exquisite, with perfect proportions. Her naturally full eyebrows were alluring and elegant. Her long, curled eyelashes lightly veiled her dazzling eyes like fluttering fans. The tiny mole beneath the corner of her eye added a captivating touch. This woman, so pure yet exuding an intense allure, captivated the women in the salon.
