Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 748 Side Story: Childhood Sweetheart 8

After school, Alice temporarily abandoned her usual routine and deviated from her usual path, heading toward a piano shop.

"Well, if it isn't Ally? You've been away from piano practice for quite a while," Leslie remarked, wiping the piano keys with a clean cloth. He looked up at Alice and smiled while squinting.

The owner of the piano shop was an old acquaintance of Alice's. The story dated back to two years ago when Alice, feeling down due to some things involving Damian, strangely developed an interest in playing the piano.

Naturally, her house had a very expensive grand piano, which was imported from abroad, but Alice preferred sneaking out to the piano shop to play.

Alice was naturally attractive with an air of elegance. When she sat at the piano with her fingers dancing across the keys, she immediately caught the attention of many.

That day, the shop's business boomed, and the owner, Leslie, even took Alice out for dinner.

Since then, they had an agreement—Alice would occasionally come by to play so that it would attract customers, and in return, she could use any piano in the shop for free.

However, after starting high school, she hardly had any time to visit the piano shop.

Most of the time, after finishing homework at home, she would just play a few short tunes on the piano.

Alice offered a genuine smile. "I'm here to practice because I need to prepare for a performance."

Leslie immediately caught on and casually waved his hand. "Feel free to choose any piano here and play whatever you like. Oh, by the way, do you need me to send over the best piano on the day of the performance?"

Alice knew Leslie meant well, but that seemed a bit over the top.

"It's okay; the piano at school is good enough."

With a bright smile, Leslie turned back to his piano and continued to clean its keys. "Alright then, practice as you like. Let me know if you need anything."
