Chapter 10
Leonel was my true uncle and he did treat me genuinely.
1, on the other hand, thoroughly enjoyed these busy days when I could learn new things.
In the past, I used to feel bored day after day while waiting because I missed Asher.
Now, I was like a sponge, desperately learning the skills to manage a company.
My cousins and Leonel stared at the hardworking me at my desk, discussing how to make me stop working like that..
The person who truly loved me wanted me to be fulfilled and happy.
They would take me to various popular tourist attractions for photo–taking, eat all kinds of delicious food, and attend concerts of different music genres…
They did their best to keep me from dwelling on those painful memories.

But Asher was different. After Isabel was released from prison, he would often bring up my hand, regretting that I could no longer play the piano. He lamented how we were once good friends. but had become enemies.
Every time he mentioned Isabel, I would sink into a deep depression and it would take me a long time to recover from the nightmare I had experienced before.
Even though we had so many memories between us, he only remembered the time with Isabel.
In front of me, he recalled a person who caused me pain, revealing his cruelty.
Leonel took the three of us children to see a concert again.
When the singer wanted to pick a member of the audience to play four songs with him live, Leonel directly lifted me up.
Sitting in front of the black and white keys again, I felt both anxious and excited. The singer, however, gave me a mysterious smile.
“Don’t be afraid, I am here.”
From stumbling and stuttering to barely playing a song, the singer followed my rhythm unhurriedly.
“Music was about enjoyment, not about winning that competition.”
Familiar words reminded me that he was the piano prodigy who had once been defeated by me.
At this moment, I finally understood that I should not have trapped myself in that missed World Championship.

Asher, who saved himself, should not be relied upon.
We embraced each other in a friendly manner, and the concert came to an end, leaving us in a cheerful state of mind.
But unexpectedly, a spectator suddenly rushed onto the stage.
When I saw Asher, I almost didn’t recognize him.
The beard was unkempt, the eyes were bruised, and the once neatly pressed shirt had become
distorted.
1–glanced at him and wanted to go down the stage to the other side. However, he snatched the microphone from the singer and confessed his love to me in front of tens of thousands of people.
“Annalise, I loved you!”
“In the past, I was foolish and made a mistake. Can you please give me a chance to make it right?”
The singer frowned and asked me who he was, I shook my head and replied indifferently.
“A not very familiar stranger.”
Immediately, a staff member came and pulled him away. The microphone was snatched from him, and he began to shout at the top of his lungs, begging me.
‘Annalise, I completely cut ties with Isabel, and I took care of that child as well.”
“Can you forgive me, please?”
“Without you, I truly didn’t know what meaning there was in living!”
My cousin had always disliked him, so he went straight over and punched him.
“I don’t want to live, then just go die!” “If I see you appear in front of Annalise again, I wi! hit you every time I see you!”
The security personnel forcefully threw Asher out of the venue.
This was probably the most embarrassing moment of Asher’s life.
His failed confession and the video of him being thrown out went viral both domestically and
internationally.
I thought he would give up at this point.
He, however, found out my home address and kept vigil at the entrance of the residential area every
day.
Because Leonel had greeted the security guard, Asher was the number one person banned from

entering.
Until one day, during a heavy rainstorm, he caught a high fever and collapsed in the rain.
When the hospital contacted me, I sighed and went to see him.
