In the blink of an eye, it was evening. The stage had been set up outside, complete with the lighting and audio system.
The kids could barely suppress their curiosity, repeatedly asking when the magic show would begin.
Sherlyn had ordered them to build a gorgeous viewing platform underneath the stage. Tables were even moved out to the garden so that they could enjoy dinner while watching the performance.
The children were exultant about her arrangement. Even Robbie and Ellie were jumping up and down excitedly.
They were only kids, after all.
Since moving into the manor, they never got a chance to go out. Though the farm and vineyard captured their attention at first, they soon got bored.
Now that a magician troupe was here to perform, they were all pumped up.
Even Dr. Felch, who preferred to be alone, came to the show when Sherlyn extended an invitation.
As Dr. Felch and the children were looking forward to the show, Charlotte did not want to spoil the fun. Hence, she followed the crowd obediently to the garden for the meal.
Sherlyn, the main organizer, arranged Dr. Felch, the kids, and herself on the same table while placing Charlotte and Louis together on another table.
She even decorated their table with red roses, which created a romantic vibe.
Louis thanked his mother for her effort. Even Charlotte expressed her gratitude too.
As the music played, the show began.
Colorful lights lit the stage, illuminating a beautiful woman playing the piano. A couple was dancing beside her, the spotlight shining on them like the moonlight. It was a pleasing sight.
“This is their opening show,” Sherlyn explained to the children. “If the whole show is about magic tricks, that won't be fun. That's why they tend to add in some other performances.”
“That's fantastic!” the kids praised, engrossed in the show.
Dr. Felch could not understand their conversation. While eating his meal, he talked to Sam and Hayley. “The weather is freezing. Don't the dancers feel cold in their thin outfits?”
