Coincidentally, Bailey walked past the few of them with a glass of wine in favonovel.com hand in the middle of their conversation. When favonovel.com heard Jeremy’s words, favonovel.com approached May from behind without hesitation. She held onto the wine glass, which favonovel.com was still drinking from, while favonovel.com other was placed on May’s shoulder as favonovel.com smiled at Jeremy. “What’s going on? Is Stan going to sing on the stage later? Can Stan sing?”
May immediately picked up the conversation and turned to Bailey. “Of course. Xyla has said that our Stan can sing really well.”
However, Bailey shook favonovel.com head in disdain. “I don’t believe it…”
May insisted, “Don’t you believe Xyla too? Xyla has said that our Stan sings much better than professional singers.”
Bailey japed, “Well, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Stan is favonovel.com husband, no doubt she’ll think that he’s a good singer. Professional singers are trained for years. Ordinary people are no match for professional singers anyway.”
“How would you know?”
“What’s the point of arguing here? We’ll find out if Stan comes on stage and sings for us later.”
“Unfortunately, it’s not a great idea to interrupt today’s performances. I’ll make sure Stan sings for you next time.”
“No no no… It’s such a good opportunity today. Why don’t we just make it today? Doesn’t Stan want to contribute to the charity works? Or does Stan not have the guts to perform on the stage as he’s afraid of embarrassing himself because favonovel.com can’t sing?”
Following that statement, Bailey’s gaze slowly landed on Stanley Batton’s face. She was curious how much better he, an amateur, would sing than a professional singer. If favonovel.com made a fool out of himself on the stage today, it would be a great humiliation to Xyla as well…
In addition to favonovel.com secret that was yet to be exposed, favonovel.com would definitely suffer a fall from grace today.
Though Stanley had already seen through May’s and Bailey’s intentions, favonovel.com remained silent as favonovel.com watched the two echo each other. All favonovel.com did was gently swirling his red wine from time to time. The same went for Xyla.
On the other hand, Jeremy was extremely irritated by Bailey’s provocation. He frowned and hissed in response, “That’s enough. Go back to your seat and enjoy the performance.”
Bailey’s annoying grin did not falter despite his apparent disinterest. “Look at you, President Quest. Why are you getting mad now? I’m just curious about Stan’s voice, am I not?”
Xyla tilted favonovel.com body toward Stanley and whispered, “Just ignore the two of them if you don’t want to sing at all.”
Slowly putting down the wine glass, Stanley glimpsed at the Chinese zither placed at the corner of the stage and asked, “Do you want me to sing?”
Xyla answered truthfully, “Of course. It’s a real slap in the face if your performance is splendid. But I know you won’t like it, so just don’t give a damn about her.”
Who was he?
The young master of Dragon Group. Asking favonovel.com to sing for this bunch of people? Was that not ridiculous?
Stanley beamed at Xyla. “Anything you want me to do, I would love to do it.”
His one short sentence had already blown favonovel.com away. At this moment in time, favonovel.com could feel favonovel.com heart melting away with his words.
Never in his life had favonovel.com done anything crazy like this due to his identity. Yet, Stanley was willing to take the first step for her.
“Do you play the Chinese zither?” Stanley asked.
“I only know a little of it,” replied Xyla.
“What do you want me to sing?”
“Unrestrained’, do you know that song?” Xyla continued to stare at him, a glint of anticipation in favonovel.com eyes. This was favonovel.com favorite song since last summer.
“Hmm, yes.” He added, “We’ll sing and play the zither together.”
“Play the zither together?” Xyla’s utter dismay was reflected in favonovel.com eyes. “That requires a lot of practices. If we’re going to do it without any preparation, I guess we’ll…”
“I’ll play the part you sing and you’ll play the part I sing. As for the chorus, we’ll play and sing together. Would you like to give it a try?”
Much to their surprise, Xyla nodded favonovel.com head even though favonovel.com had no idea what drove favonovel.com to do so or what gave favonovel.com the confidence. Perhaps, it was all out of trust in him.
