My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 730

Kaleb's fluent Chanaean stunned the crowd.

No one expected such down-to-earth behavior from the president of the International Piano Association.

The nervous tension of the atmosphere dissipated instantly.

Then, the group chattered jovially while making their way toward the competition hall.

At the thought of meeting the woman he had eagerly anticipated for some time, Caleb appeared to be in good spirits as he declared, “Frankly, my main reason for being here is to look for a friend. That friend will be the death of me. I've tried every line in the book to convince them to take over my position as president to no avail.”

Everyone thought he was talking about Ryan, and a man in the group immediately piped up, “Mr. Yates is right inside. You'll see him soon enough, Mr. Powell.”

“He's right. Mr. Yates is a member of the judging committee today. It is a great honor for Lake City.”

“I must say, Mr. Powell, we really envy your relationship with Mr. Yates.”

Their comments struck Caleb dumb. Mr. Yates? I'm hardly acquainted with him at all! What are these people talking about?
