Lost in Mr. Preston's Temptation novel Chapter 69

As he spoke, Baxter casually glanced at the pile of huge black roses in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He was stupefied.

“Damn, Ethan, where did you buy so many black roses?”

He didn’t know much about flowers, but he has heard that black roses are difficult to cultivate and had a shorter flowering period than other roses.

There are at least a thousand flowers here, right?

“I don’t know. Your brother bought them.” Ethan took a sip of the black tea, his expression indifferent. “I got them to celebrate Clara getting a job.”

Baxter tutted, “Ethan, we all know that you’re a domineering CEO, but you don’t need to be so high-profile, do you?”

In the afternoon he had sent a rose diamond to Clara, and now he had his brother buy more than a thousand black roses and bring them to the villa!

“This is considered high-profile?” Ethan slightly raised his eyebrows.

Clara who was standing on the side was afraid Baxter would tell him about what happened at the entrance to the restaurant this afternoon, so she picked up a piece of watermelon from the fruit plate and stuffed it in his mouth.

She changed the subject. “By the way, before when you said you had something to do, was it to get this violin?”

Ethan seemed to have realized her intention and glanced at her.

“Yes.” Baxter seemed to not have realized what had happened and said vaguely while eating a piece of watermelon, “Such a valuable thing, of course I have to meet the seller to complete the transaction.”

If I didn’t meet him face to face, I wouldn’t have been able to “buy” it!

“The legacy of a violin master is something that many people value highly. If a violinist, had it, he wouldn’t have sold it even if offered a sky-high price.” Clara looked at the violin on the sofa.

“Why was the seller willing to sell you such a violin?” She guessed, “Could it be that the seller was a dealer in violins?”

Baxter was still thinking about how he could explain, but seeing Clara guess, he simply followed her, “Yes, yes! When I made a deal with that guy, he also said that he had a lot of other expensive violins at his home. If you want, he can sell me them at a discount, he isn’t just a violin dealer!”

Clara nodded. “No wonder.”

This kind of violin, the violinist who had it would want to treasure it and wouldn’t sell it.

It was different if it had previously belonged to a violin dealer.

Ethan’s eyes swept over the violin case, and he suddenly asked Clara, “Can you play Judith Rui?”

“Yes, it’s a basic violin song. I’ve played it hundreds of times.” This was also Clara’s favorite piece.

Many years ago, if it weren’t for that friend at the hospital’s encouragement, she might not have learned the violin.

Thinking happy thoughts, Clara couldn’t help but smile and look at Ethan, “Ethan, do you want to hear it?”

“Yeah.” He lazily rested his long arms on the back of the sofa.

“Sure.” Clara opened the violin case and took out the violin. She muttered, “But I haven’t touched a violin for several years. Don’t hold it against me If it’s not good.”

Baxter nibbled at the pear and grinned. “It’s okay, everyone here is family. No matter how unpleasant you play, we won’t hold it against you!”

Ethan gave him a chilly glance. Baxter felt the chill on his neck and quickly moved to sit next to Donny.

After playing violin for so many years, Clara was a bit nervous.

However, when she touched the violin and placed her bow on the strings, her fingers couldn’t help but move.

Soon, the classical melody poured out from the violin, lingering in the living room.
