Chapter 256:

Elyse stepped back, clearly skeptical of Pearce’s words. Exiting the car, Pearce asked her, “Ms. Lloyd, are you free now? If so, I can verify my identity for you. I’m headed to the university office to deal with something.”

Elyse gave him a peculiar look. “Why should I accompany you? I don’t even know you.”

Pearce’s grin widened. “Your music has deeply moved me. I’d like to befriend you.” His genuine compliment touched Elyse, fulfilling her desire for recognition in music, something Pearce was the first to offer. After some hesitation, Elyse reluctantly agreed, “I’ll trust you this time.”

Pearce breathed a sigh of relief. “I won’t ask you to ride in my car to avoid scaring you. Let’s walk there.”

Elyse nodded in agreement, hesitant to accept a ride, fearing potential danger. Pearce was considerate, engaging in conversation to ease Elyse’s unease. Elyse also noticed that Pearce seemed both physically and mentally well-off. His calm and steady demeanor reminded her of her husband.

Pearce continued chatting, noticing Elyse’s distraction. He candidly said, “Ms. Lloyd, talking to you feels like speaking to family. I can’t help but keep talking.”

Elyse was momentarily taken aback but didn’t fully grasp his meaning. “Have you played the violin since childhood?” Pearce asked.

Elyse pondered briefly. “Somewhat.”
