Ex-Husband Got Crazy When I Disappear

Chapter 8 Let me play the piano ! Ive only taken two lessons and barely knew the keys .

Nevin really knows how to put me on the spot , Joanna thought to herself , a cold sweat breaking out on her forehead as she gently rugged on Haydens sleeve .

In an instant , Hayden stepped in front of her protectively .

Nevin , youre scaring Joanna .

Lucy couldnt take it anymore .

She strode forward , her voice dripping with sarcasm .

So what if she plays the piano ? Didnt we all learn some kind of art a kids ! Yvonne is a grade ten planist Lucy and I go way back , like childhood friends who were always in each others pockets .

But when it came to my piano skills , I wasnt in the mood to explain .

So , I gently nudged her , Lucy , let it go .

She wasnt having it .

Why ? Whats the deal if a mistress can play the pianot Theyre blowing it out of proportion .

For decent ladies like us , its no biccie .

I instinctively glanced at Hayden and saw his serious expression .

He had a soft spot for Joanna , like nobody else .

If Lucy kept up with her rani , she could really get on his bad side .

Just as I was about to explain , Nevin sneered , What a joker If Yvonne can play the piano , Ill turn my head into a soccer ball and let her kick it around .

In his eyes .

I must have looked like a clueless woman who only chased after Hayden .

Otherwise , he wouldnt have made a crack like that Yasir stood nearby , resting his chin on his hand , wondering if hed get to see a good ball game tonight Meanwhile , Marlon had also spotted this scene from a distance .

He was captivated by the bright red figure in the crowd , admiration shining in his eyes His friend , Chester Flynn , handed him a glass of red wine and followed his gaze Yvonne was under the spotlight , her poise and charm impossible to miss .

Is that the one youre into ? he inquired .

Yep .

Marlon replied , sipping from his glass .

Instantly , the rich flavor spread through his mouth , Just saving , there are all kinds of women out there .

Why are you interested in a married one Chester scratched his head , confused was being into married women the new trend ! Marlon didnt care about that at all .

Instead , he asked Chester .

What do you think shell do ? * If she had any skills , she would have gone up to perform by now , right ? Chester looked toward Yvonne .

He had heard a few rumors about her and didnt have a good impression .

Marlon remained quiet , his gaze softening as he watched Yvonne .

No matter what happened , he wouldnt let anyone hurt her again .

In the distance , the tension was thick Nevin was convinced I would embarrass myself and was relentless in his taunts .

Meanwhile , Hayden and Joanna stood closely together , looking like they were the real couple .

If it werent for the fact that this piano was something my mother had wanted while she was alive , I would have gladly let Hayden have it to win Joannas affection .

But tonight , I was determined to have it .

So , you guys are saying that as long as I can play , the piano is mine ? I asked then shifted my gaze to Nevin with a teasing grin .

And as well as your brad Nevin didnt flinch .

He just sneered right back , Not just the plano , Ill show you nothing but respect , every single day .

Great ! I nodded , a smile tugging at my lips .

It was always amusing to watch a fool give himself Just as I was about to step onto the stage , Hayden , who had been quiet for a while , called out to me .

Yvonne , if you cant handle it , dont push younell His words were icy , dripping with disclain , not a hint of sympathy to be found .

It seemed like he was more worried about me making a fool of myself than anything else .

I bristled laut kept my gaze forward , marching determinedly towards the piano .

Just like Nevin , he probably figured Id make a mess of things and end up bolting off the stage in tears .

1/2 2/2 Chapter 8 Glancing down at the piano keys that felt like old friends , I caught Lucys voice rising up in my defense .

Hmph Such an ignorant bunch .

Yvonne can do anything .

Shes not the loser they think she is .

The moment my delicate fingers touched the keys , I glanced back at Hayden in the crowd .

He stood far away in a hazy glow , so I couldnt make out his features .

Suddenly , I forgot why I had been so hopelessly in love with him .

I recalled how he always kept his distance , and I never quite felt like I fit into his sphere .

Once , I played a tune for him while he was out cold ; now , I was playing for myself , Taking a deep breath , I gently touched the piano keys .

Lovely notes flowed from my fingertips , filling the space .

Suddenly , everything around me fell silent , and I lost myself completely in the music .

Oh my God ! Yvonne looks stunning up there ! Lucy gushed , her eyes brimming with excited tears .

Shed always known Yvonne was exceptional smart , with a pianist for a mother , and a fantastic family behind her .

But somehow , that cold guy Hayden had turned Yvonne into a lovestruck mess .

Now , Bnally , Yvonne was back to her sensel , Turning back to the crowd , who looked stunned , Lucy smirked with pride.

Seet Now youre getting it .

Yvonnes the real deal , right ? The moment Nevin heard the beautiful plano music , his legs went weak .

He stared at the stage in disbelief .

Hows this possible ! Isnt Yvonne supposed to be incapable of anything ! How could she have this talent ? Watching Yvonne have everyones attention , Joanna felt her anger boiling over .

She clenched her fists tightly , her nails digging into her palms .

Damn Yvonne , snatching the spotlight like its nothing ! She stole a glance at Hayden next to her , noticing how intently he was watching Yvonne .

Jealousy coiled around her heart , growing tighter with every second Hayden had no idea Yvonne had such talent .

He was always indifferent to the people and things around him .

And with this marriage being something that was pushed on him , hed never felt any red connection to Yvonne But the plans music inexplicably brought back that sensation from when he was half conscious .

The tune was different , yet it resonated with him In a peculiar way .

He found himself drawn to the fiery red figure on stage her long , lush hair flowing down her back , her face aglow with a radiant beauty she was absolutely huminous .

Hayden couldnt help but step forward , and an idea began to swirl in his mind had Yvonne really been the one playing the piano music he had heard while he was in a comat SEND GIFT
