Chapter 263

Abbey paused for a moment, wanting to take another look, but the girl had turned away, making it impossible for her to get a clear view.

She was sure she must have seen it wrong.

Who would string a bunch of gemstones together to make a bracelet?

She had come to this party specifically to find out who her brother had given that box of gemstones to. She wondered if she would meet the person today.

She redirected her gaze, continuing to scan the room.

It had been a while since Abbey had seen Joy, the little girl still as sweet and endearing as ever. Cordelia watched her, especially when she flashed that kind smile, feeling her heart melt a bit.

She reached out, engaging in a sign language conversation with Joy, "What have you been up to lately?"

Joy signed back, "I've composed a piece, can you check it out for me later?"

"Of course," Cordelia signed back.

After their chat, Joy tugged on Cordelia, wanting to take her aside.

Mrs. Collins watched them go, feeling relieved, and turned to Lorna, "Let the girls have their fun, come keep me company."

Lorna, hoping her daughter would make more friends, nodded in agreement and told Cordelia, "Go ahead, have fun!"

So, Cordelia followed Joy to a quiet corner. Since it wasn't appropriate to play the piano during the party, they sat down, with Joy pretending the coffee table was her piano, asking for Cordelia's advice on her composition.

Cordelia listened intently, imagining the music in her head.

Joy had a real knack for composition, a pity she couldn't hear it. Cordelia thought this as she pointed out a couple of mistakes.

Joy's eyes widened in realization, looking incredibly adorable.
