My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217

“Mel, don’t you like Barbie dolls either?” Harold looked troubled as he frowned. Guessing Melody’s thoughts was even harder than solving a mathematics question. He sighed. “Let’s sneak out and play. We can’t let Dad find out.” Melody obediently went downstairs with him. Harold held her hand and passed by the bottom of the stairs. Just as they took a few steps, Melody stopped moving. Compared with playing the slides, she preferred playing the piano. Mr. Albert had given her new homework yesterday, and she had yet to practice.

Therefore, the little girl swung Harold’s hand away and sat in front of the piano. The elegant sound of the piano echoed. Harold’s eyes lit up. “Wow! Mel, you can play the piano. It sounds awesome! I’ve never heard such a melodious song.” The sound of the piano finally broke the awkwardness in the living room.

Duke turned around.

A girl in a pink dress was sitting at the piano next to the staircase. She sat up straight, and her long, fair fingers pressed the piano keys. She played a happy nursery rhyme, which delighted those who listened to it. Duke was slightly surprised. Melody was just four years old, but her piano skills were actually great. She had to be very gifted in music. Just as he was about to say something to Adina, she suddenly got up and walked over. “Mel, you played the wrong key just now.” Adina stood beside the piano and guided Melody patiently. Melody tilted her head and listened to Adina’s suggestion seriously before she played again. “It’s weird.” Adina frowned. “The tune’s accurate, but it feels wrong. Follow me, Mel.”

She then sat on the other end of the long bench. The two of them played the piano together as if nobody else was there.

Harold did not like music. Whenever Dew played piano, he would find it noisy.
