Chapter 63 Is Theo Blackmailing "Thanks, Driscoll. I'm sure I'll nail the selection tomorrow. You all better be there for my debut!" Elyse beamed with pride.
Jayden folded his arms, surprised by her confidence.
"You're really into playing the violin?" "Yeah, I love it. It's ike a part of me. When I was a kid, my folks wantedto pick up another instrument, but I refused. They even tried starvingfor two days, but I stood my ground." "Seriously? They attempted to starve you simply because you wanted to play the violin against their wishes?" Elyse nodded, feeling a bit weird recalling it.
She even suspected that Lanny and Glenda were fearful of recalling someone from their past while she played the violin. And this seemed to be the genuine reason for their opposition.
She decided not to look into it any more since she believed her conclusions were too bizarre.

He'd never seen her perform, and despite knowing music was her passion, he was curious.
The song was "He's a Pirate." The moment Elyse began, there was a shift in her aura.
The soft girl transformed into a fierce woman with steely eyes, exuding bravery and determination.
It was as real as it could get.
Elyse looked and sounded like a true pirate as she played the song, breaking the waves for the Treasure Island ahead.
Through the music, Jayden glimpsed countless facets of Elyse.
At that moment, he found her incredibly captivating.
As her performance ended, Elyse still wore that determined look.
Applause erupted.
She glanced at Jayden and saw him clapping for her.
"Good performance!" Elyse blushed, not used to praise from Jayden.

"You're destined for greatness tomorrow. We all believe in you!" applauded a maid.
Driscoll and the maids praised Elyse, boosting her confidence and ambition.
"I'm off to practice smore in my room!" With her violin in hand, Elyse headed upstairs, her face still flushed.
Driscoll turned to Jayden. "She's got sserious talent. It's like she's born for music!" "Yeah, her talent caughtoff guard." Jayden mused that if Elyse's parents had supported her, she could've been famous by now, not stuck in a small orchestra struggling for gigs! Thinking of Elyse's performance, Jayden felt an inexplicable fondness for her. He reckoned having a wife who could play the violin wouldn't be too bad. At least he could enjoy her music when he was bored.
He startled himself with his thoughts! He appeared to be increasingly embracing Elyse's presence.
In her room, Elyse practiced relentlessly, the melody for tomorrow's audition already memorized.
