Chapter 448: 448: Do You Think I’m Stupid?
The foreboding aura that emanated from Daniel was enough to send chill down anyone’s spine.
The rage that was about to erupt from his eyes created a sense of panic and fear in people.
Those who had nothing to do with the violin, promptly cleared the area.
Suddenly, a familiar, gentle voice sounded from behind Daniel.
“It was I who brought it!”
In an instant, Daniel closed his eyes, utterly regretful. However, there was no taking back the words he had spoken.
No amount of explanation would help now; he could only appear more defensive.
Olivier Jenkins, being as astute as she was, would have easily guessed from his reaction that this classical violin belonged to Charmy Bennett.
There was no flicker of emotion on Daniel’s handsome face, but his heart was tightening in pain.
Regaining control over his emotions, Daniel opened his eyes, turned around and looked at Olivia with leisure. His sexy lips curled into a faint smirk.
“Darling!”
Olivia’s heart felt like it had been impaled by a sharp knife; an indescribable pain. Yet the smile she wore on her beautiful face was as radiant as ever. Like nothing had happened, she affectionately called out, “Honey!”
Life was a stage, and we were all performers!
At this moment, Olivia couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. She must have been a neglected actress. Otherwise, she would have certainly been a well-known star by now.
Olivia walked slowly towards Daniel. Her face still bore a warm smile, her demeanor pure and innocent, giving nothing away about her emotions.
“Sweetie, I’m sure you identified this as an expensive classical violin at a glance. The owner of the violin shop told me it was worth as much as a sports car. I rented it for a day for ten thousand dollars, just for two days.
Others may laugh at me for being foolish, but I’d say it’s worth it. The shop owner also repeatedly reminded me to take good care of this violin as I might not be able to afford it if anything happened.”
Now that everything was clear, of course, it was worth the price. Moreover, Olivia felt she had come out ahead, completely awake, never to daydream again.
From now on, she would not lose herself.
From now on, she dared not nurture any expectations.
Olivia tilted her head to look at Daniel, the sweet smile on her beautiful face perfectly concealing her churning emotions.
With a soft smile on his sexy thin lips, Daniel hugged Olivia tightly, “Darling, if you need a violin, you can just tell me. I can provide you with the best one, no need for you to bother renting.”
Olivia also gently hugged Daniel in return, nonchalantly saying, “Actually, I do have a pretty good violin of my own, a customized one by my father. I haven’t used it for a long time, but I always cherish it.
I took it out to use yesterday and accidentally broke a string. Since I don’t use it often, I decided to rent one for two days before returning it. It’s not a big deal.
The broken string can be replaced and used again; it just requires some time. I could use ordinary strings but I think the original ones are better, and they match the remaining original strings.”
“I can help you get it repaired.”
“No need, I’ve already asked the shop owner to find an original string for me. In two days, I would put away the violin again. Honey, let go of me, I need to rehearse. I won’t be back so early, so if you have something else to do, you can go ahead and don’t wait for me.”
Daniel let go of Olivia, his deep eyes following her.
Olivia proceeded as if nothing had happened, picked up the classical violin on the table, and casually entered the practice room.
Not long after, Daniel heard the melodious sound of Olivia playing the violin.
But Daniel’s heart was filled with an overwhelming sense of melancholy.
