"Isn't Susanna hurt from being burned?"

"I visited on the very day of the incident. It wasn't serious."

"Oh, I see."

Then, why did Charles make it sound like Susanna was on the verge of death back then?

"Seeing that you're not busy now, how about attending the birthday banquet with me?"

"Maybe this isn't such a good idea."

Zachary was certain to attend Susanna's birthday banquet, and Lenora didn't wish to see him at the moment.

"Why not? The invitation clearly states that the invitee can bring a female companion. Mr. Fuller is your brother, and she might be your sister-in-law in the future. Isn't it only right for you to attend her birthday banquet? It's no different from the press conference previously. The more you avoid them, the more the media will speculate. If you were a bit bolder instead, they wouldn't dare fabricate stories." Lenora lowered her eyes and pursed her lips.

Jonas glanced at her before continuing. "I heard that Mr. Fuller didn't skimp on Susanna's birthday banquet this time. He specially hired a world-renowned designer for the venue setup, and her gown is a limited edition, specially flown in. Even the birthday cake is crafted by an international fondant master. It's a rare sight. Are you sure you don't want to go for a look?"

As Lenora listened, her eyes grew increasingly dim.

How devoted is he to Susanna! He must have started making preparations for this birthday banquet long ago, huh? Susanna must be thrilled that she successfully got Zachary to accompany her and even host a birthday banquet solely for her on the twentieth of September, huh?

She knew that if she were to attend the birthday banquet this time, Susanna would undoubtedly be annoyed to the core.

'Okay. I'll go with you, then."

After disembarking from the plane, Lenora and Jonas dolled up a bit before heading straight to the

banquet.

usanna had only recently returned to the country. As such, the celebrities she had interactions with were mited. Consequently, few people were invited. They were all special guests from her previous variety how and members of Cloudwater City's film crew. s soon as one stepped into the banquet hall, one could immediately see the opulence of the place. It was eminiscent of a western lavish castle, everything incredibly exquisite and luxurious. 19:48

This unique indulgence of his belongs solely to Susanna. Once upon a time, I, too, dreamed of a grand wedding with him, with him holding my hand under the watchful eyes of countless well-wishers. Regrettably, I didn't get a wedding at the end of the day. All I got was a divorce agreement.

The melodious strains of piano music filled the air in the banquet hall, soothing and peaceful. It sounded somewhat familiar to her.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Fuller can play the piano!" Jonas exclaimed, gazing off in a particular direction.

Lenora followed his gaze.

In the left corner of the banquet hall was a piano.

A man in a tailored suit and leather shoes sat elegantly before it. With his eyes focused intently on the music sheet in front of him, he played the piano with great focus and dedication. Under his fingers, the black and white keys on the keyboard depressed and rose swiftly, producing a pleasing cascade of piano notes.

At that moment, his expression was one of great earnesty.

With just one glance, Lenora recognized him as Zacharynoveldrama

It turns out that he can play the piano. How romantic of him to perform personally at Susanna's birthday banquet. But ironically, my husband gave it all to another woman!

"Mr. Chance and some of the film crew are over there. I need to go over and greet them. Are you coming with me?" Jonas asked.

"No. You go ahead." Lenora proceeded to take two pieces of dessert before she took a seat in a corner and savored them slowly.

Even after a decade of mingling with the upper echelons of society, she still felt out of place and could only pass the time by eating in such a situation.

Before long, the protagonist of the banquet made her appearance.

Susanna wore a stunning gown that was meticulously designed. Holding up the hem of it, she stood in the center of the banquet hall like a princess, at the center of everyone's admiration.

Holding a microphone, she started with a smile, "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my birthday banquet. The venue is modest, so I hope you all won't mind. Additionally, I want to thank Zack for his thoughtfulness in organizing this birthday banquet for me and personally playing Ballade For Adeline. This is our love song. It was because of it that we met back then. Today, we're going to use it for our first dance. Feel free to join us."

Lenor was promptly taken aback.

No wonder I found the music familiar. Ballade For Adeline... It was even Zachary who told me the title. It turns out that he can play himself, and it's a love song. No wonder he instantly recognized it that day at the restaurant.

She chuckled self-derisively. Suddenly, a sparkle caught her eye. Upon closer inspection, she noticed a ring on Susanna's hand.

With the distance between them, she couldn't see it all that well. However, she had a feeling that the ring was the very same one in Zachary's car that day. Sparse applause broke out.

The banquet was small, so things were rather casual. Susanna's speech wasn't overly formal either, and that bridged the gap between everyone present. As her voice faded. Zachary's piano music also gradually came to a close.

He rose from before the piano and strode forward steadily to stop in front of Susanna. Holding hands, they walked to the center of the banquet hall together. His rested hand on her waist, while hers draped over his shoulder as they kicked things off with ballroom dancing.

Music filled the banquet hall.

Following the beat of the music, the two of them moved in sync, matching each other and gradually attaining perfection.

spectator, Lenora had to admit that they danced in perfect harmony, complementing each other.

Susanna had a foundation in dance. Like a graceful butterfly, she spun and twirled with the rise and fall of the music, drawing close to Zachary's embrace.

Judging by their coordination, they must dance together often, huh? She's unlike me, a country bumpkin who knows nothing and even stepped on Zachary's shoes when I danced with him.

Finally, Lenora understood why Susanna always exuded a strong sense of superiority whenever she faced off against her

It was because she was the first person to enjoy Zachary's tenderness.

The man would play the piano for her, dance with her, teach her Granatanolan, tell her Granatanolan stories, buy her cakes, and cook for her.

She, on the other hand, was always secondary to Susanna.

Lenora's gaze was filled with melancholy.

It was as if she finally understood the gulf between her and Zachary at that very moment.

In the past, I prided myself on the fact that she understood him. But in reality, I was merely deluding myself. He has never opened up to me. The version of him I know is only the side of him he was willing to show me. Whatever he didn't want me to know was closed off to me. It's just like how it's only today that I learned that he can play the piano. But on second thought, this is perfectly normal. He's a scion of a wealthy family, meticulously groomed and taught by renowned teachers. So, it's hardly surprising that he learned piano since young. Just as he's proficient in Japriumian and Granatanolan in addition to Clusian and Uprian, his ballroom dancing is skilled and graceful. He can also cook and is extremely self-disciplined in his daily routine. He works out regularly, jogs every morning to keep in shape, and only drinks black coffee usually without ever adding sugar. He also didn't smoke and seldom drank.

Compared to him, she felt that she was nothing.

Contrarily. Fin just an ordinary person, only adopted by the Puller family by sheer luck. Otherwise, I might not have even had the chance to know him, let alone marry him. Perhaps we truly aren't a good match.

Suddenly, Zachary's dance steps faltered, and he nearly brought Susanna down. Fortunately, he reacted in time, swiftly pulling her into his arms.

Susanna adjusted her steps to match his, getting back on track.

She leaned in close to his car and asked in a whisper, "What's wrong, Zack?"

Zachary lowered his gaze. "Nothing."

As he turned around, he stole another glance at the corner, affirming that his eyes weren't playing tricks on

him.

It's really Lenora. Why is she here? And how long has sh
