Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 283

“Oh, God! Does this mean that Hilbert has acknowledged Emily?”

“The piano looks expensive.”

“Hilbert really treats Emily well.”

“I’m so envious of her.”

Megan, Brian and Grandma Jade were as dumbfounded as everyone who was in attendance.

Emily’s grin was so wide that the corner of her lips reached the back of her ears.

Only Janet, who was at a corner, had a deadpan expression as she looked at everything that happened. She sluggishly held a cup of cocktail and leaned against the wall in the corner.

Emily beamed at Hilbert. “Thank you, Mr. Hilbert. I love this piano. I’ll definitely put more effort into practicing my piano skills.” After she said that, she even bowed at him before intentionally looking at the surroundings the moment she raised her eyes. I bet that Janet’s expression must be dark and she is in low spirits. Haha! Haha!

Upon hearing Emily’s words of appreciation, Hilbert and his assistant exchanged an awkward glance.

“Miss Emily, this piano is not for you.” As the assistant spoke, he waved the piano score in his hand. “This piano score is your gift.”

Right after he said that, Emily’s face instantly paled while everyone who had expressed their envy toward her were silenced.

Sweat beads appeared on Megan’s temple as she walked up to Emily to console her. “A piano score is good too. It’s not bad…”

Emily forced a smile. “It’s rather nice. It shows that Mr. Hilbert values me and wants me to continue practicing.”

“This is exactly what Mr. Hilbert had in mind.” The assistant squeezed a professional smile on his face.

“What’s the purpose of you taking out this piano then, Mr. Hilbert?” Brian was puzzled.

Hilbert rose to his full height and calmly replied, “I’d like to have Miss Emily play a piece according to the piano score.”

Upon hearing that, Emily’s eyes brightened as she firmly nodded. “Sure.”

She had intended to play in front of the crowd so that everyone can witness her skills.

Seeing that Emily was excited, Hilbert quietly uttered, “You may perform now.”

The next second, she walked up to the piano and took a deep breath before sitting down.

With her slender fingers placed on the piano keys, she slowly closed her eyes and her body leaned forward slightly. Then, her long fingers dexterously danced on the black and white keys while her body moved to the sound of the piano.

She had a smile on her face while her gaze was focused on the piano keys and from time to time, her eyes flicked from the piano keys to the score while melodious music poured out from her fingertips.

The piece ended with all five fingers of her right hand simultaneously pressing on the keys. She then gently lifted both her hands and placed them on her lap.

After that, a rapturous applause broke out in the hall.

“It’s wonderful. It’s no wonder that Emily was chosen by Hilbert.”

“Of course, she has been learning piano for the last 10 years. Taking Sandfort City as an example, there isn’t anyone in our city who is able to compete with her.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“That’s true. She surely is amazing.”

Emily had a faint arc at the corner of her lips.

Confidently and elegantly, she stood in the hall while carefully asking, “Mr. Hilbert, what do you think about it?”

Hilbert nodded.

Upon seeing that, happiness bloomed in her heart. However, her high spirits barely lasted for two seconds before he shook his head.

Just now, he repeatedly compared Emily’s performance to the one by the girl named Sweet Tune in his mind and realized that there was a stark difference between them.

On top of that, the piece that Emily had just played was the same piece that Sweet Tune performed on stage—‘Heaven on Earth’, which made the difference between them even more obvious.

Nevertheless, Emily’s skills were actually considered good.

Her palm was coated with a film of sweat. Without any idea as to why he suddenly shook his head, she carefully asked, “Did I not play well?”

“No.” He waved his hand before raising his eyes and asked in a low voice. “Do you really like this piano?”

Everyone was both stunned and surprised when they heard his question. What does he mean by asking her this question?

“Yeah, I kind of like it,” she whispered with her head lowered. It would be great if Hilbert could give this piano to me. Everyone will be envious and jealous of me by then.
