Chapter 409 Stealing the Spotlight at the Party!
Bianca was nervous while facing Leia''s challenge. Her palm in Luke''s hand started to sweat.
She did not know how to y the piano at all.
Bianca looked at Luke for help, but he was extremely calm.
Luke squeezed Bianca''s hand, indicating that everything would be OK. He smiled and said to Leia, "I''m
sorry, my girlfriend hurt her hand yesterday. She won''t be able to y for everyone."
He lifted Bianca''s hand and showed it to everyone.
Bianca was peeling an apple for the twins the night before and had identally sliced her index finger.
It was wrapped with a band-aid, and that was the perfect excuse for not being able to y.
The guests nodded in understanding.
Luke continued, "She might not be able to y the piano, but she has a sweet voice, and I think she
can make it up with a song. As her boyfriend, I shall be her apaniment."
Bianca was shocked. She looked suspiciously at Luke.
She was indeed good at singing, but she was extremely shy and had never sung in front of other
people. How did Luke know that she could sing?
Luke smiled at her and mouthed the word "secret."
When his grandfather sent him to the small town to alleviate his depression, he suffered from insomnia
at night. While runningps around the field to burn off energy, he suddenly heard a beautiful singing
voice.
Instantly, he searched for the source of the voice.
Under the moonlight, he eventually found a cute girl with shoulder-length hair singing under an ancient
elm tree.
She was fully engrossed in her singing and did not notice his presence. He hid himself on the other
side of the elm tree, quietly listening to her singing. The young girl''s voice was melodic and pure. It
washed away the darkness of his soul and brought him to the light.
That was the first time Luke saw Bianca. He thought that she was special; she was not dazzlingly
beautiful, but she was pure and ephemeral. Her unique demeanor was hard to forget.
At that moment, her voice had nourished his barren heart, and her looks had charmed him.
He eventually found out that the girl with the shoulder-length hair was named Bianca Rayne. That
name had upied an important position in his heart since that night.
Of course, he had never told Bianca about that incident.
"Don''t worry. I can y any song that you want to sing. Believe in yourself, and believe in me,'' Luke
told Bianca.
After listening to what Luke told her, Bianca took a deep breath and shed him a big smile, telling him
that she was not afraid.
Luke carefully helped Bianca up the stage and seated her on a white bar stool. Then, he sat down in
front of the piano.
The man rested his slender fingers on the keyboard. His ten fingers looked clean, and his fingernails
were impably manicured. Together with the ck and white piano keys, it was aforting sight.
Bianca sang "A Thousand Miles," one of her favorite songs.
"Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and I''m homebound..."
Her voice instantly captivated the audience.
Her voice was gentle and ethereal. With Luke''s piano apaniment, it was a mesmerizing
performance.
When Bianca started to sing, she could forget her surroundings.
The song had conveyed her feelings.
''Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles if I could just see you tonight..."
It was a very lovely tune, but Bianca wanted to cry when she sang that line.
Her rtionship with Luke was approaching stability. Even though they had sworn to be with each other
through thick and thin, and Luke had promised her that he would be by her side forever, she
nevertheless felt uneasy.
Leia''s provocative gaze and posture did not give her a sense of security.
Her sixth sense told her that Luke might one day be a thousand miles away from her...
That worried her.
Luke was as elegant as a prince. His sculpted hands nimbly danced on the piano keys, creating
musical notes that glided through the air like fairies.
It was a grand yet mncholy tune that carried Bianca''s voice.
The men in the audience transfixed their eyes on Bianca, while the women stared unblinkingly at Luke.
The love and admiration for them were evident.
Bianca''s emotional state was delicate.

With her clean and ethereal voice, she had voiced her yearning of being together with her significant
other. As the song reached its climax, it was so beautiful that it caused people to cry.
At the end of the song, Bianca came to her senses when she fell into an embrace that carried the faint
scent of mint. She had tears in her eyes.
Equally in a daze was Queenie Ziegler.
Her thoughts were once again upied as she looked at Bianca, wondering how could that youngdy
be so simr to her. Not only were their appearances alike, but even her singing too. Queenie loved to
sing when she was younger, and her voice sounded almost the same as the youngdy named Bianca
Rayne.
How could they be so alike? 1
The crowd was silent after Bianca finished her song. It took them a long time before they gave the
couple apuse louder than what Leia received. The apuse went on for a long time before ceasing.
All the guests were convinced by the perfectbination of Bianca''s singing voice and Luke''s
apaniment.
"You''re so talented, Mr. Crawford! Not only you''re a business prodigy, but you are a piano maestro! I''m
impressed!" "Luke''s partner is amazing too. Her singing is better than some professionals! What a
matching pair!"
The praises in the hall were unending. Luke and Bianca had taken over the spotlight.
Leia''s chest was heaving as she struggled to catch a breath. She tried to press it with her hand to
suppress her anger.
''This shouldn''t be! Things shouldn''t have turned out like this!
''Bianca doesn''t know how to y the piano. Shouldn''t she have been the subject of ridicule in this
party?''
However, Leia seemed to have done something idiotic. Not only did she not manage to embarrass
Bianca, but she gave Bianca the chance to shine!
