Lucas was no longer using the number, and all the messages she had sent in the past had not been seen, so she saw it as a way of
venting her emotions and expressing her thoughts.
At nine the next morning, Harry arrived at Elliot's mansion, and lvy immediately led him to the piano room on the first floor.
It was a spacious room with two pianos that belonged to Layla and Robert respectively.
Since Layla was working and Robert had gotten into university, the room was left vacant most of the time.

said.
"Okay, Mr. Gardner."
