Maria tilted her head towards the piano she had been playing, "Here?"Rivas was taken aback, his initial intention was to invite Maria to his own recital, but Maria’s words instantly made his heart itch.He had never played with a stranger without any training before.Looking at the piano, Rivas' eyes were shining, he was too excited to stand it. "Can we?"Maria waved her hands, and said annoyedly, "I've been playing for two straight hours, my hands are about to give out."Seeing the disappointment on Rivas face, Maria laughed out loud, "Haha...Don't be like that. It's as if you asked me for sweets, and I didn't give you any, and you feel wronged."Of course Rivas felt wronged, good friends that appreciate the art as much as he does are hard to find!When he heard Maria's piano sound, he knew he had found a kindred spirit in music once again, one he hadn't encountered in more than twenty years after meeting Andrew!To him, being able to cooperate with Maria on a piece was more exciti
"That's wonderful!" Rivas quickly sat down and patted the spot next to him, "Come, sit here.""Okay, sure." Maria responded and walked over.After sitting down, Maria flicked her fingers, feeling they weren't as numb as they were before, and then placed her hands on the piano.Tilting his head to look at her, Rivas smiled excitedly, "So, shall we start?""Let's do it." As soon as Maria finished her sentence, her fingers were already touching the m keys. Rivas quickly turned his head back and attentively accompanied Maria’s playing.Strangely enough, this was the first time Maria and Rivas met and their first collaboration, yet there was no friction between them at all. As soon as they entered the world of music, they opened their hearts and expressed all their emotions through the music.Ms. Luna stood to the side, watching as Maria and Rivas performed a four-handed piece.Remarkably, Maria didn't fall behind Rivas, but kept pace with him, playing as steady as Mount Tai- her prowess
Mia returned home and proudly boasted to the Lesser family that she had received an invitation from Rivas to participate in his concert and perform together with him.Just as she was feeling extremely proud, her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Rivas calling.She waved her phone to the Lesser family with a smug look, "See? Rivas is calling me..."Mia proudly put her phone to her ear, glanced at the other daughters of the Lesser family, and asked arrogantly, "Rivas, why are you calling me?"Rivas replied in a cold voice, "Mia, starting tomorrow, come to my place at eight o'clock every evening to practice the piano for an hour.""Eight o'clock every evening?"Mia raised her voice in annoyance, "Why so late? Can't we do it in the morning or afternoon?""No."Rivas hung up the phone without explaining anything.Mia tried her best to resist the urge to smash her phone."Eight o'clock every evening..."Eva's eldest daughter, Taylor Lesser, covered her mouth and smir
In the evening, Alexander returned to the Lesser family's mansion and was about to go straight to his room when he was stopped by Andrew sitting outside their yard.Alexander walked over and respectfully asked, "Dad, do you need something?"Andrew raised his hand and pointed to the stone bench next to him. Alexander understood and sat down on the bench, pretending to listen attentively as he looked at Andrew."Alexander, how have you been with Mimi lately? How does it work in your bedroom?"Upon hearing this, Alexander felt irritated. He knew that Mia must have said something to Andrew, otherwise, Andrew wouldn't ask him about this out of the blue.He licked his lips and replied humbly, "Dad, you know about my family situation. I married Mimi as a live-in son-in-law, but my dad's legal wife is unable to have children. My two brothers and I are all illegitimate children. One of us will definitely inherit the Caine family. So... I'm really busy now and may not have taken good care of Mi
Maria and Charles returned home, her hands sore!After agreeing to perform with Rivas, she was forced to practice the piano for two hours by him. Her fingers were trembling now..."Ria."Charles and Maria sat down on the couch. He took Maria’s left hand, placed it on his leg, and gently massaged her fingers."Oh..."Maria sighed comfortably, "So comfortable."Suddenly, she frowned and pouted, "Honey, do you think Rivas is making a fool of me? He wants me to go to his place every morning at nine and practice until three in the afternoon. I'm afraid I can't even use my hands anymore.""Hehe..."Charles chuckled and shook his head, "Rivas is a keen lover of the piano. It's not easy for him to encounter an opponent who can hone his skills. How could he miss such an opportunity?"Maria blinked and carefully pondered Charles' words. Then she raised her right hand and gave him a thumbs-up."Honey, you are right. Rivas is indeed a keen lover of the piano. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to n
In the following days, Luna would accompany Maria to Rivas hotel for piano practice every day. The relationship between Rivas and Maria became more intimate. They were not just partners anymore. It was a kind of long-awaited mutual affection."Rivas."After finishing the piano practice, Maria rubbed her fingers and pouted towards the window, "Yesterday, my husband told me that there is a good restaurant to the north of Beijing. Do you want to go with me?""A restaurant?"Rivas also massaged his fingers gently, "What are we eating? Is it spicy?"After being with Rivas for so many days, Maria knew his preferences very well. She chuckled, "Yeah! It will make you cry. So tell me, are you coming or not?""Yes, of course."Rivas immediately stood up, intending to change his clothes.The bodyguard reminded him kindly, "Rivas, Mia is coming for practice at eight o'clock tonight. You've already skipped her for three days in a row."Including today, Maria rehearsed with Rivas for a total of s
The concert was only a few days away.Considering the frequency of Mia’s rehearsals with Rivas, she might mess up.While Maria took Rivas out for a meal, Mia was at home smashing things in anger."He keeps standing me up time and time again. Who does he think he is?!"The fruit plate and glasses on the coffee table were swept to the ground in her fit of rage.The girl attending to her saw the broken glass all over the floor and rushed towards Andrew's yard in a panic.But Andrew wasn't in his own yard at the moment. He was with Old Mrs. Lesser and Old Master Lesser. The girl had no choice but to go there.Once she entered the yard, she anxiously looked at Andrew, "Young Master Lesser, Miss Mia Lesser is smashing things again. Please go check on her."Old Mrs. Lesser frowned at once. This was the third time Mia had smashed things to vent her anger.She looked at Andrew angrily, "Andrew, isn't Mia’s temper a little too bad? Haven't you educated her before?"Andrew helplessly lowered his
Tickets for Rivas' concert were truly hard to come by.All of Rivas fans in the country were scrambling for tickets.Even the price of the worst seats had been inflated to over 7000 dollars, let alone the better ones. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were priceless.Thanks to Andrew's relationship with Rivas, the Lesser family obtained five of the best seats. Andrew personally delivered the tickets to Old Mrs. Lesser and Old Master Lesser. "Dad, Mom, these are tickets for the Rivas concert. You've always said that Mimi isn't good enough, but this time, she received an invitation from Rivas to be the only pianist in our country to perform with him on stage. I hope you can witness her growth."Old Mrs. Lesser and Old Master Lesser knew very well that these tickets were hard to come by.Old Mrs. Lesser took the tickets. Looking at Andrew's determined expression, she sighed helplessly, "Andrew, I know you don't want to remarry, but this music concert doesn't prove anything...
