Chapter 46

“Yes, her melodies are inspiring and full of artistic conception that resonates easily with the audience. It’s just a pity she hasn’t released any new songs recently.”

Elise nodded gently. “They are pretty lovely melodies. It just so happens that I have an exclusive EP of hers at home. I’ll give it to you another day later.”

“Really? That’s great! Who knew we had a common interest?” Then, Matthew sighed. “If only she could release new songs, that would be awesome. Then, I could take you to one of her concerts to support her.”

Inevitably, he was excited to gush over an idol of his; yet, Elise fell deep into thought again and didn’t speak up again.

The atmosphere returned to normal just like that. It wasn’t until the car pulled into the courtyard of the Griffith Residence that she returned to her senses. By then, he was already opening the car door for her. “We’re home. Come on, then.”

 

As she hopped out of the car, she replied, “Thank you!”

“No problem,” Matthew answered while smiling at her for the first time. “That’s what I should be doing, anyway. It happens to be my turn to send you to school tomorrow, so head to bed earlier and I’ll see you tomorrow.”

 

“Okay,” Elise answered. “Good night. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

After that, she returned to the room and locked the door before she started to remove her makeup. Her delicate, fresh face was revealed the moment all of the makeup was removed.

As she looked at her reflection in the mirror, she pursed her lips and thought about Jonah’s gift to her because it was truly too precious. If I actually leave the Griffith Family one day, won’t I be disappointing him?

The fact was that she already arrived at a decision to momentarily keep the shares on his behalf, but fully return it to him once she left the family.

After she made peace with her decision, Elise felt much lighter as she went to bed and slept soundly until morning.

The next day, she wore her makeup and dressed for school before she headed downstairs. Much to her surprise, there was no breakfast prepared at home this morning
