My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 742

Chapter 742

As Ashlyn rapidly dished out the notes like crazy, the cameraman decided to focus on her hands.

Everyone watched in awe as they saw Ashlyn's slender fingers dancing across the piano like countless butterflies.

It was so visually and audibly stunning that they had completely forgotten about the unpleasant incidents that took place earlier.

The audience was so captivated by Ashlyn's enchanting performance that they wished they could have an encore when it ended a few minutes later.

Having completed her performance, Ashlyn gracefully stepped away from the piano and bowed at the audience once more before returning to her seat.

To everyone's surprise, Caleb got off his chair and made his way toward her.

“Ashlyn, my friend! It has been so long since I last saw you! As always, your beauty never fails to dazzle us!” he exclaimed with a huge smile as he reached out and hugged her.

He didn't have a chance to talk to her that entire evening, so he took the first chance he got and expressed all of his thoughts in one go.

Unbeknownst to him, however, a certain someone's expression turned gloomy instantly after seeing him hug her on stage.

Ashlyn quickly let go of him and said, “You really startled me with your sudden act of enthusiasm, Mr. Powell!”

For some reason, Mary had a bad feeling in her gut when she saw that.

“Mom, I thought Uncle Ryan is supposed to be his friend?” Penelope whispered into her ear.

“I'm not too sure myself...” Mary replied as beads of sweat started trickling down her forehead.

Still holding on to Ashlyn's hand, Caleb turned to face the crowd and announced proudly, “Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce my good friend, Ashlyn Berry! She is truly a musical genius musician! Not only is she able to play the piano superbly well, but she is also able to compose her own songs! Oh, she can also play the harp and—”

“Mr. Powell, this is an international piano competition, so how about we end the introduction here and get off the stage?” Ashlyn cut him off coldly, her cold and calm demeanor forming a huge contrast with his enthusiastic and passionate personality.

Caleb was practically beaming with excitement as he shouted, “No way! I must seize this rare opportunity to fulfill a dream I've had for a really long time! As the president of the International Piano Association, I hereby invite you to perform a duet with me with the whole world as our witness!”

What the... Didn't Mr. Powell say he only came because of Ryan? I've been going around telling everyone about this! Oh, no... How will I face those people now?

Mery thought to herself upon heering thet.

Penelope, too, went completely pele es she hed bregged ebout it to Jenny end Here e lot.

“I thought you seid he ceme here beceuse of your uncle? How did it end up becoming Ashlyn insteed?” Jenny esked with confusion written ell over her fece.
