Chapter 366 He Watched Her Play
A strand of hair fell across her cheek. It made her delicate face look even brighter, like a smooth, fine little pearl.
Outside the classroom at the same time….
“Mr. Pierce, thank you for donating a new library to our school.”
The principal stood before the tall, neat man with a wide, happy smile.
The school would have a new library, and all students would get more books to read.
No one expected the busy Leighton to come in person today to announce the donation.
The principal could not stop smiling. He quickly gathered staff to walk the campus with Leighton.
“I’ll look around alone. No need to follow me.”
Leighton turned to the group behind him, knowing he was close to the classroom.
“Of course. Call us if you need anything at all.”
The principal wanted to stay with him, but agreed at once after seeing his serious look.
“Mm.”
The principal left with the other staff. Only Leighton and Tristan stayed behind.
Class 19’s classroom stood two yards in front of them.
The doors were closed, and all curtains were drawn.
Leighton pulled out his phone.
Inside the classroom…
“Zora, you ready?”
Easton stood a short distance away, waiting to turn off the lights.
“I’m ready.”

Zora touched the strings of the harp in front of her. A clear, soft tune filled the air.
It was a high-quality harp with great sound, just as good as the one at her mentor’s home.

I’m turning the lights off now.”

Easton flipped the switch. The room went dark instantly. Every eye locked on the girl in the center of the classroom.
A warm yellow spotlight landed right on Zora.
The light wrapped around her small, thin frame.
She looked stunning. She glowed, like she was the light itself.
A small gap opened in the curtain, letting outsiders see the scene inside.
A quiet feeling settled in Leighton’s chest, staying there for a long time.
Leighton lost track of time. He only snapped out of his daze when loud applause burst out in the room.
The sound pulled him back. He looked at his phone and stopped the recording.
He watched Zora stand and give a polite bow. A sweet smile showed on her delicate face.
It was only a simple classroom stage, but she seemed separate from everything around her. With the light on her body, she was the only thing he saw.
His eyes held nothing but her small figure.
The classroom lights turned on with a click.
The afternoon event came to an official end.

The whole class crowded around Zora, talking fast and praising her nonstop.
Her performance marked the end of their school day, and everyone got ready to leave.
The curtains opened fully, revealing the person standing outside the window.
Zora noticed the room go quiet. She followed everyone’s gaze and met a pair of warm, loving eyes outside the glass.
It looked like those eyes held only her.
The moment Zora recognized him, a big bright smile spread across her lips, and her eyes lit
Leighton smiled back, soft warmth filling his eyes.

“Why are you here? The school didn’t invite parents, right?”
Zora put on her beige cashmere coat and walked out of school with Leighton.
She was sure parents were not part of the event.
She remembered he’d asked about her performance time earlier.
She wondered if he came just to watch her play.
“I’m here to pick you up. I came to donate to the school and stopped by.”
Leighton fixed the collar of her coat for her.
“Oh.”
Zora felt a little down, thinking he was not here for her performance. But the feeling passed quickly.
He was a busy man. He would not drop work just to watch her play.
She thought she would only see him after school. Running into him at school was already good enough.
Zora was easy to please.
Just seeing Leighton made her happy.
“When did you get here?”
She wanted to know if he’d seen her performance. She looked up at him with bright, expectant eyes.
“I got here right when you started. I got to watch you play.”
