S31 95. Shame

“Were you the ones singing at that time?” Mrs. Connor asked in inaudible voice.

The twins fell silent. With frozen smiles, they blinked to guess it.

“What did she just say?” Louis glanced at his younger sister.

Emily shrugged her shoulders vaguely, afraid to offend the woman. “I don’t know.”

Smiling, Ava got up from her chair. “You won’t be able to hear my mother from there. Come here.” She reached out her hand.

The twins’ faces lit up again. Happily, they let Ava sit them on her lap.

“Were you the ones singing at that time?”

The twins’ mouths rounded.

“Oh, that’s it,” Louis muttered before nodding. “Yes, we were the ones singing that time. Did you like our singing?”

Mrs. Connor whispered, “Very sweet.”

Emily laughed while covering her mouth. “You don’t need to lie to please Louis, Mrs. Connor. It’s okay. We realized that our voices were a bit off at the time, especially Louis.”

Louis elbowed his sister’s arm. His lips were pursed, his brows

furrowed. “I told you it’s vibrato.”

“Okay, okay. But I hope you don’t use it again. Sing according to what we have practiced.”

A second later, Emily shifted her gaze. Her expression turned sweet.” We have prepared a new song for you, Mrs. Connor.”

“What song is it?”

“It’s still a secret! We’ll sing it after dinner. Are you willing to wait, Mrs. Connor?” Emily tilted her head.

The woman nodded again. “I will wait.”

“Thank you. We’re sure you won’t be disappointed. We’ve practiced hard.”

Suddenly, Louis leaned forward. His hand tried to reach the woman’s finger. “How are you, Madam? Have you completely recovered?”
