The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 848

Simone felt her heart sink.

At this point, she was certain: the person Joshua was searching for could only be Stella.

Joshua continued, “Back then, I was suffering from depression. Nothing brought me joy, and life itself felt pointless.”

He paused, his gaze distant. “But her music… it was like a lifeline. It gave me hope again.”

“In my heart, she’s nothing short of a savior.”

Simone’s expression shifted with realization, but she didn’t rush to claim the credit. Instead, she smiled and asked, “Did you ever meet this person? Reveal yourself to her?”

Joshua shook his head. “No. I was in a bad state and didn’t approach her. When she left, I found an earring on the bench where she’d been sitting.”

He looked at Simone pointedly. “Miss Lerman, do you play the violin?”

“A little,” Simone replied, keeping her tone casual. “But I’m far from an expert.”

Joshua pressed on. “Do you know ‘Moonlight’?”

Simone’s eyes widened with sudden understanding. “Joshua, are you suggesting that I’m the person you’ve been looking for?”

She laughed softly and shook her head. “It’s true, I’ve lost an earring before, but I can’t even remember where. By the time I noticed, it had been missing for ages.”

“And as for the violin piece ‘Moonlight’… it was incredibly popular during that time. Aurora practiced it every single day.”

“I’ve played the violin myself, and yes, I did learn ‘Moonlight’ for a while. But it’s just a hobby—something I put aside long ago.”

Her gaze grew nostalgic. “Come to think of it, it’s been ages since I last played.”

Simone wasn’t lying. In fact, she and Aurora had met and become close friends precisely because they attended the same violin class as teenagers.

A proper debutante was expected to master all the arts—music, languages, even a bit of painting. Playing multiple instruments was just the norm.
