Stop It She's Remarrying by Stellar Strands

Chapter 816

When she came back from the washroom, Esme was surprised to find a piano placed in the middle of the store with Conrad sitting nearby. She turned and looked at Conrad. “What are you doing here?”

Conrad glanced at her coldly before sipping a cup of tea that was served to him by the store’s staff. “I’ve heard you are quite free lately. Were you learning piano?”

Esme swallowed her saliva and scanned her surroundings with caution. Fia and Sophia were not in the vicinity. She was afraid that her secret would be uncovered if there was no mole on her bottom. So she asked Peter to manually plant one for her this morning.

Sophia probably saw the mole when she pulled her pants down earlier. So her secret was still safe.

Still, she did not understand why Conrad brought the piano over.

“I had a friend who loves playing the piano. So I knew one thing or two about the piano… and I don’t want to do research anymore after coming back to Fortuna. So I tried learning to play instruments on my own.”
