A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

The housekeeper, who worked tirelessly, finally noticed that there was a man in the area. Looking up, she was stunned.

This man was even more beautiful than a woman!

Under the sunlight, the man’s skin was as clear as white jade. However, he did not exude any femininity. On the contrary, he looked like an elegant gentleman.

He had pointed eyebrows, glowing eyes, a high bridge of the nose, and a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes.

She couldn’t take her eyes off him.

This man was not old. He looked to be in his twenties.

Strange, was he a college student?

If so, how could she not remember him?

People who were beautiful in music were certainly known among staff and students. She should have known.

– Auntie, the man greeted.

The housekeeper was slightly stunned. Her heart began to race involuntarily. Why was this man’s voice so pleasant?

According to the girls in the school, listening to this voice could make the ears pregnant.

– Eh ? What is this ?

The housekeeper looked at the man in confusion.

– Did the student who just left play the violin here?

The cleaning lady took a moment to react.

– I only saw her play the lute. I don’t know anything else.

– So do you know the name of this student?

– Malia Rodriguez.

The housekeeper said for sure. Of course she knew Malia. Not only did she know her, but she also knew all of the outstanding students in the school.

The man lowered his gaze slightly, his long lashes hiding the light in his eyes. He repeated in a low voice,

– Malia Rodriguez.

The man looked up, then walked out.

The man had just walked towards the door when a man with a small ponytail quickly approached and grabbed his arm.

– M. Timothy, why are you here? The concert starts in a few days. Can’t come and help us?

Timothee’s gaze fell on the girl’s back not far from there. As the girl turned a corner, she entered a window of sunlight. Bathed in sunlight, her entire body seemed to be enveloped in a golden glow. After turning the corner, she disappeared.

Timothee pushes his director aside with indifference and says calmly:

– Isn’t everything already arranged? What is there to worry about, Brother Oscar?

Oscar looked at Timothy’s imperturbable manner and said in a low voice:

– I immediately guessed that you did not know. The violinist who was scheduled to play the violin has just taken time off because of something that happened at home. It is impossible to find a suitable person in such a short time.

When Timothy heard Oscar’s words, his eyes narrowed slightly. He turned to look at Oscar and said with a smile:

– Don’t worry, that person is right here.

Oscar looked at Timothy in confusion. The emperor was not worried, but the eunuch was.

– Or ? It’s just the two of us here. Don’t tell me you expect me to play the violin? I’m not so capable.

Timothee pursed his lips and said:

– Help me find a student.

– Who are you looking for ?

– Malia Rodriguez.

When Oscar heard Timothy’s words, he looked at him in surprise and frowned slightly.

– Timothy, why are you looking for a student? By the way, don’t change the subject. We are discussing the fact that you need a violinist.

– I think she should be able to save the day, Timothy said calmly.

– What?

Oscar’s eyes widened to the size of a dinner plate. Then his eyes filled with disdain and he said,

– Timothy, wake up. Stop dreaming. What can a student do? How can she be your backing musician? Are you trying to embarrass yourself and ruin your reputation?

He glanced indifferently at Oscar and said:

– She can definitely do it.

Oscar pursed his lips in disapproval.

– I do not believe you.

– Bring her here tomorrow.

– Understood, said Oscar coldly.

He still didn’t trust this student.

Seeing that Oscar was grimacing, Timothee called,

– Brother Oscar.

– Yes ?

– Brother Oscar, don’t you think that red is opposed to purple?

Oscar, who weighed 100 kilos, looked down at himself. He wore a bright red shirt paired with purple tights. He thought he looked particularly festive. Wasn’t that a good thing?

Oscar’s gaze fell on Timothy. He wore a white shirt and black dress pants. He looked so simple and so ugly!

– What do you know about that ? It’s the fashion.

Oscar said sternly.

– Oh okay. Don’t forget to take care of the things I asked of you.

Oscar says impatiently:

– Alright I understand. You attracted women everywhere you went. If you are raped or harassed by a young woman, you will have no place to cry.

– …

Although he knew he was worried about him, why did Oscar’s words sound so strange?

Timothy looked at Oscar’s nervous expression and said:

– Brother Oscar, I think you’re the one who can’t show his face.

Oscar’s expression froze for a moment. His mind finally caught up. Panicked, he hurriedly covered his face with both hands.

Everyone knew he was Mr. Timothy’s manager. If they found him, they would be able to find Mr. Timothy. You should know that he usually didn’t want to leave the house. Whatever it was, Oscar was asked to do it for him.

When Lyana returned to the Sanchez family villa, she was beaming.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Julie was sitting in the living room, reading a medical book. When she saw Lyana was back, she stopped what she was doing and greeted him with a smile.

– Second sister-in-law, you’re back.

Lyana’s good mood instantly took off. She looked at Julie and said impassively:

– What can I do for you ?

– Second sister-in-law, how was your first day at school today?

Julie asked seriously, a smile on her face.

– Not bad.

Lyana wasn’t used to Julie swooning over her. To be honest, she almost preferred Julie’s arrogant attitude in the past.

– Second sister-in-law, grandmother asked you to visit her room

Julie said, still smiling.

Lyana answered weakly and went upstairs.

She walked to Matriarch Sanchez’s room and knocked on the door.

– Come in !

The voice of Matriarch Sanchez came from inside the room.

Lyana pushed open the door and entered. She saw Matriarch Sanchez sitting by the French window, wiping a violin.

This violin was beautiful and elegant. One look was enough for you to not be able to look away.

Lyana approached and stood next to Matriarch Sanchez, staring at the violin without batting an eyelid.

As she got closer, she could even smell the faint woody scent of the violin.

– Take a look at this.

Matriarch Sanchez put down the fabric and handed the violin to Lyana.

She took the violin with the greatest care, and stroked it gently.

The violin was cool to the touch, and the wood was silky and smooth. It was a rare gem.

The Matriarch’s gaze landed on Lyana’s face. Smiling, she said, “Lyana, it’s a violin I’ve always treasured. I wonder if you like it?

Who wouldn’t love such a good violin?

She looked at the violin longingly and said sincerely:

– I like it.

– This violin has already been used by Mr. Bei. I only got it by chance. Matriarch Sanchez looked at Lyana softly.

When she heard the Matriarch’s words, the joy in her eyes intensified. She caressed the violin lovingly.

– I heard from Vincent that you showed up at music school today.

Seeing Lyana nodding her head, the Matriarch said:

– I was thinking of giving you a registration gift. I didn’t know what instrument you liked, but after thinking about it, I decided to give you my violin. I haven’t used it for a while. Hope you don’t mind.

Lyana’s eyes lit up with excitement. With emotion in her voice, she said:

– Grandmother, it’s a violin that has only one chance in a million. Moreover, it was used by Mr. Bei. Isn’t this gift a little too precious?

– The value of a thing does not depend on its cost. It depends on who owns it, and whether it’s capable of being the best it can be in that person’s hands, Matriarch Sanchez said. She took Lyana’s hand and patted it gently.
