After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

In the very center stood a girl in a black mermaid gown, serenely holding her violin. Her notes rippled through the crowd, cleansing their hearts with an ethereal touch.

I stared at the beautiful, elegant figure on stage–it was Isabelle.

She’d traded her usual casual clothes for a graceful, refined gown. She looked like a goddess straight out of a painting–romantic and stunning.

“Wow, her whole vibe has changed,” Ryan whispered in my ear, sounding genuinely impressed.

“She’s really beautiful,” I said, genuinely impressed.

Her youth was her greatest asset–no matter what, she always looked radiant and full of life.

At first, Isabelle didn’t look down at the audience. But then, she must have spotted Edward, because her voice almost cracked. Still, she pulled herself together fast, thanks to her training.

When the song ended, the crowd was still in a daze.

The host’s enthusiastic voice broke the silence, officially kicking off the show.

Back when I used to hang out with the society ladies, I’d been to plenty of art shows and musicals, so I didn’t feel out of place at all.

Ryan was slouched back in his chair, looking like he was just here to show support. He had that irreverent, playful vibe–honestly, I doubted he was even listening to the music.

Edward was leaning back too, eyes closed as the music played.

‘What could he be thinking?‘ I wondered.

After that, there was a whole lineup of performances–some group numbers, some solos, and even a couple of well–known singers who showed up to perform. There were also a few dance routines, each one absolutely amazing.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the stage. Music really does work its magic on the soul.
