Meanwhile, at the Fairmont Conservatory of Music.
The auditorium for the recital was completely packed. The audience and the proud parents in attendance broke into rapturous applause.
Cheering for their children, Judith sat in a premium center-view seat next to her son, with Jade sitting right beside her.
On the brightly lit stage, Macy's fingers danced across the grand piano's black and white keys, while Sienna bowed her cello. The two were performing a flawless duet of Schubert's Serenade.
Judith's gaze remained fixed on the stage, a proud, beaming smile plastered on her lips. She turned her head toward her son.
"Miles, look at Macy. Her piano skills are exquisite. With such incredible talent, shouldn't we seriously consider sending her to the Berklee College of Music for advanced studies?"
Miles's eyes were dark and unreadable. For a moment, he didn't respond.
Jade immediately chimed in with her sycophancy. "Judith is absolutely right. Macy is remarkably gifted. It would be a tragedy not to send her abroad to further her education."
"You see, even Jade agrees."
Miles remained silent, his mind clearly miles away.
He suddenly remembered that Quinn was attending Mrs. Pierce's private party today. He subtly turned his wrist, checking the time on his watch.
Seeing her son so unresponsive, a flash of confusion crossed Judith's face. What was going on today?
Miles usually always sat right next to Jade. Why had he deliberately chosen to sit apart from her today, making his mother sit directly between them?
It was incredibly strange.
After Macy's performance concluded, Jade and Judith went up to present her with flowers. Sienna also received a bouquet from her mother.
When it was time for group photos, Miles didn't join them.
Jade looked visibly disappointed. "Judith, is Miles busy? Why didn't he come up to take pictures with us?"
"He might have stepped away for work. We can take the photos ourselves just fine."
Judith's entire focus was currently fixated on her daughter; she had absolutely no mental energy to care about whether Jade was happy or not.
"My beautiful princess, you played marvelously! And Sienna, your cello was spectacular as well!"
"Thanks, Mom."

I would have accepted the jerk husband ending up with the heroine if he’s only powerful, intelligent but he’s so powerless and so stupid....
Can you make Ethan be the endgame? That Miles is a total jerk....
