Chapter 116 When did You Learn to Play the Piano?
Isla was now holding Remy's arm as they arrived in the fifth row of the audience, confidently introducing his identity to the people around them.
Remy originally didn't want to come, but after thinking it over outside for a while, he felt that as the fiancé, he shouldn't skip his fiancée's award ceremony.
So, he reluctantly came.
Although he was unwilling deep down, when Isla introduced his identity, he still greeted the people around him with grace and charm. This behavior undoubtedly gave face to the Wilson family, making Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson inexplicably proud!
Mrs. Watkins took out her phone and quietly sent a WhatsApp message to Mrs. Hamilton, "You're not being considerate enough. Why didn't you tell me about Remy and Isla dating?
"If we hadn't met in the audience, I wouldn't have known that you already have a daughter-in-law!" Mrs. Hamilton was having her morning tea when she received this WhatsApp message, almost passing out from anger.
She quickly replied, "Audience? What audience?" These past few days, she had repeatedly warned her son and told him not to look for that wretched girl from the Wilson family, but he didn't listen! It went in one ear and out the other!
"It's the national piano competition award ceremony! My daughter got fifth place and I accompanied her to attend. I didn't expect Isla to get second place. You have good taste..." Mrs. Hamilton felt a surge of anger and felt like she was suffocating, "Where is it? I'll go take a look."
"Really? Your daughter-in-law didn't invite you?" Mrs. Watkins teased, "I thought they had a good relationship..."
At this moment, Isla sweetly held Remy's hand, saying something to him. Remy listened with his head lowered and gave a faint smile. The scene was as beautiful as a painting.
Mrs. Hamilton was infuriated, "What daughter-in-law? They haven't even gotten engaged yet. It's just the kids having fun."
"Oh??" Mrs. Watkins was surprised, "Just having fun? The other family takes it seriously..."
"You know, so many people are here for the Johnson family..." Mrs. Hamilton explained.
Mrs. Watkins understood. So, the Wilson family had been making themselves look good. Even the parents of the Johnson family didn't agree to this marriage, yet they were spreading rumors here...
Remy was accompanying Isla, watching the host on stage give the opening speech, when his phone vibrated twice. He checked and saw it was a WhatsApp message from his mother.
"Do you want to kill me? How many times have I told you to break up with that wretched girl! You just don't listen!"
"Fine, if you dare, go marry into the Wilson family! The Johnson family will pretend we don't have a son like you!"
"If you like going to see them so much, then don't come back to this home again!"
...
Remy read his mother's message and couldn't understand how she knew about him being here...
He looked around and besides the parents of the Wilson family, he didn't recognize anyone...
Strange.
"Mom, I'll come back in a moment, don't be angry." Remy didn't even want to come here. He was just accompanying Isla to show some consideration, otherwise, he would feel guilty.
Isla, seeing the words on the screen because she was so close, secretly felt angry but couldn't show it. She could only gently say, "Is auntie urging you? If so, you should go back first, don't mind me."
Remy turned his head and saw her innocent and kind eyes, making it hard for him to bear.
"Remy, you should go back. Don't make auntie sad. She only has one son, you."
She said gently and understandingly, "No matter what she thinks of me, as a mother, she must want her son to be well, to find a good girl, and to live a happy life in the future."
"Do you not blame her?" Remy asked, looking at her eyes with surprise. "She said such outrageous things in the hospital..."
Denying this relationship, looking down on her for not being good enough...
Isla shook her head, smiling even more gently. "She loves you just like I do, and she wants the best for you. I know her intentions are good, so I don't blame her."
Remy was moved by her kindness. He put away his phone and held her hand, and the gloom of the past few days was swept away.
He didn't care about those classmates who mocked him anymore. If she couldn't measure up, so be it. As long as she became his wife in the future, who would dare to laugh at her?
She didn't ask to be picked up and raised by a janitor, but fate played a big joke on her. She didn't complain about it, but always treated the people around her with kindness...
Is there anyone better than her in this world?
Even if she had dated other boys before, so what? She didn't have a father's love since she was young, and she longed for someone to care for her. Is that wrong?
Thinking of her childhood family environment, Remy suddenly had a question, "At what age did you start learning the piano?"
He remembered that she had mentioned before that her janitor mother worked hard and it wasn't easy to raise her...
In that kind of environment, it shouldn't have been possible for her to learn the piano...
Isla didn't expect Remy to ask her this question all of a sudden. This question also aroused the curiosity of Mrs. Wilson next to her. Yeah, Isla hadn't learned the piano before returning to the Wilson family!
So how could she play the piano and even win awards?
"After I returned to the Wilson family, I saw a piano in my sister's room once, so I learned by myself online..."
That was true. In order to improve her identity as a rich young lady, Isla had self-studied a lot online.
"There are piano lessons online too, so when no one was around, I would practice by myself..."
"Later, when my father saw how much I loved it, he bought me a piano and hired a tutor to come teach me piano knowledge..."
That was true too. Mr. Wilson let the private tutor come every day to teach her because he saw how much she loved it, but they didn't know if Isla really learned or how much she learned.
"That's it? You just learned like that? The piano itself is very complex. I studied for ten years and only got first place two years ago when I competed," Remy didn't expect his fiancé to be so talented. She had only been back in the Wilson family for a few dozen days, and she had already learned such a difficult instrument!
"That's talent for you. Abella, that damn girl, treats the piano as a decoration every day! She ruined such an expensive piano!" Mrs. Wilson couldn't help but feel distressed when she mentioned it. "But Isla, she casually studied for a short time and got second place! Amazing!"
Isla felt a little guilty by their praises. She knew her level, she only knew this one piece, and the others, even though the private tutor has taught, but it is difficult to reach a higher level!
As long as someone who understands the piano listens, they will know her level!
Therefore, during this time, she has been practicing hard at home for the award-winning piece, in order to perform well today!
She knew that Remy understands the piano, so she practiced diligently.
At this moment, she noticed Remy's gaze towards her, which was as gentle as before, and she felt temporarily reassured.
