Chapter 16 Secret Crush
“Wow! Melina, isn’t this…”
I was startled, afraid that Timothy would reveal the truth, so I quickly glanced over.
Timothy understood and said, “So… the most discerning and musically knowledgeable young talent in the whole city, right?”
Brenton did not bring his assistant and smiled as he
exchanged contact information with Timothy, giving a brief introduction.
Timothy quickly searched online, and his eyes lit up in an instant.
Brenton was strong in strength, and the company mainly engaged in capital operations, also investing in some emerging companies.
“If you don’t mind, can we exchange WhatsApp numbers? It would be convenient to send you a sample when I have a new piece. I personally love the violin.”
Brenton opened WhatsApp, Timothy scanned it, and then signaled me to scan it.
I resisted in my heart, but obediently followed the rules of the adult world, smilingly accepting Yan’s request to add me as a WhatsApp friend.
Timothy treated Brenton like a benefactor, accompanying

him and chatting for a while before seeing him off.
I had a headache.
Did Brenton come? Will Antonio still be far away?
They were childhood friends, and there is a high possibility that Brenton would have told Antonio about this, regardless of whether he recognized me or not.
I pondered on where to go next.
Timothy was excited:
“Even more handsome than the day you were buried! I just checked the areas he invested in were extremely diverse, and the key is, he never incurred any losses! He was truly a legend in the investment field!”
“If he decided to support you, it would definitely be a world- class team, and you would become famous worldwide!”
I looked at him and said, “I admit that I had talent in playing the violin, but I was still far from being a true master.”
Timothy shrugged, “So what? Let’s go the commercial route! How much money can highbrow art make? We need to blend with fashion and trends!”
You were already beautiful, and your talent in playing th violin was stable! It’s not impossible for you to become the violin queen! We don’t need to miss out on making money!”

When he saw that I was not speaking, Timothy stopped joking and sat down next to me, becoming my familiar friend again.

To be honest, I thought he wouldn’t betray you. He just didn’t
expose you.
“Rory and Louis had just adapted to the environment here, if they leave again, where will you go? Pretend to die again? Will he believe it? Or is it ‘home is where the heart is‘? You don’t care, what about the children?”
I was silent.
There is a difference between being alone and having a family.
I knew Antonio, and after what happened last time, if he knew
I was still alive, he would find me no matter where I am.
A new message came in on the phone, sent by Brenton, just one word.
“Are you there?”
“Sure.”
The dialogue box displayed “The other party is typing…”
I waited for his next sentence, maybe it would be “Grace, stop pretending, I know it’s you,” or maybe “Are you okay?” In the end, it fell into silence, and nothing was sent.
Until that night, it was the same story.
“Are you there?”
“Sure.”
There was nothing else.

It seemed as if it was just to confirm, to meet me was not a dream, I did not disappear.
I couldn’t fall asleep. Did he actually recognize me? Or was he
unsure?
The next morning.
I and two children were having a meal when the next–door neighbor started moving out.
The big truck carried their furniture, and the whole family sang and danced, laughing as they bid us farewell.
“Derek, are you leaving?”
“Yeah, last night the house was sold, and it was three times the market price! I was really lucky!”
“Congratulations, may I ask who bought your house?”
“He was a young gentleman from Centronia!”
I had an ominous premonition in my heart.
From Centronia, a young man, triple the market price! On the evening I first met Brenton.
No one would believe it if I said it wasn’t a coincidence.
