MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 3 Episode 86

Nina was still playing the piano and the music drifted throughout the hall. Daniel, Angela, Dora and Chester found a quiet place to sit down, listening to the music quietly, letting it flow through them.

Chester asked in a low voice, “Is Aunt Nina the princess of C Island?” Daniel and Angela looked at each other and nodded.

Angela sighed with surprise. “Yes, she is the princess of C Island.

I think they’re trying to find a way to mess with your sister.” Angela looked at her husband helplessly.

Daniel loved his sister a lot. He said to his wife, “We need to help her if we can. This is so not cool.”

Angela was a little reluctant to help Jessica, but after all, Jessica was her sister-in-law. She nodded and said, “Okay. But she seems kinda pissy lately. Like she might get mad if I say something to help her.”

“Just do the best you can.” Daniel felt sad for his wife. He whispered in his wife’s ear, “She left Jason.”

“What?” Angela cried out in shock. She covered her mouth when she realized how serious this was.

“Really?” she asked. Daniel sighed, “I guess only John and I know. Don’t tell anyone, especially Dad. I don’t want him to get sick. He’s really old, you know.”

Sam liked Jason very much and treated him as if he were his own son. And he also know how difficult Jessica could be. Only Jason could put up with her mood swings and vindictiveness and still love her.

Every father hoped his daughter would marry a man who cared about her and loved her.

“Yeah, we can’t let him know. His health is getting worse and worse.” Angela quickly calmed down, and after a while, she said, “Jessica doesn’t really know what love is. But you wouldn’t let me teach her. All of you just make excuses for her. And now look at her. She kicked Jason to the curb.

I think this is Jessica’s fault. She doesn’t know a good thing when she has one.” Angela married into the Shi family more than twenty years ago. She knew Jessica surprisingly well by now.

Things were pretty chill between them. They never bumped heads.

Angela had a strong family background, so Jessica respected her.

Angela figured they’d be fighting one day. Nina was just the trigger.

Daniel put his arm around his wife’s shoulder and said, “That’s enough. She’s my sister, she’s family. No matter what people say about her, we should help her at least retain a shred of dignity. We’ll talk to her when we get home.”

Angela nodded. “Okay.”

Chester overheard Daniel and Angela talking, but he wouldn’t tell anyone.

Dora sat next to Chester, watching Nina in rapt attention. She rested her chin in her hand and smiled in admiration.

“Aunt Nina is so cool and talented. I think she could teach me a lot.

You’re so lucky you live with her,” Dora said as she turned to look at Chester. Wearing a small suit, he looked like a haughty adult.

“Aunt Nina and Uncle John haven’t been around for a while. The North Yard feels empty.” Chester’s voice was slow and childish, tinged with pain and helplessness.

He wondered if John and Nina had gone on a trip just like his parents.

Daniel patted Chester’s head and smiled. “Did you bother them?”

“No,” Chester said seriously. “Uncle John and Aunt Nina wanted to use the study. I stayed away and never knocked or anything.”

‘The study?’

Daniel blushed and coughed.

“That’s good.” As Daniel spoke, he held his wife’s shoulders tightly, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “Maybe we should use the study like they did when we get home.”

Angela elbowed her husband in the side. “Behave. Someone might hear,” she whispered.

Daniel held her tighter and smiled, his eyes narrowing in glee.

The score that Nina was playing was about to end. Her fingers played over the keys. She drew herself up to her full height, ready to deliver the finale.

The last few notes were particularly beautiful.

Noah had built a wall around his heart. He hid his feelings from other people, and rarely shared them with anyone.

The music played by Nina was like an invisible silk thread, one end of which was tied to his heart.

Nina was at the other end of the thread.
Noah’s beat faster, and he felt wonderful for the first time in forever.

He gazed affectionately at the girl sitting at the piano. Her fair skin was warm in the light, and her slender fingers danced on the piano keys, so charming.

Noah immersed himself in the music and the girl who was playing the piano. There was another man losing himself in the song. And that man was John. He stood in front of the picture window on the second floor, and his eyes only saw Nina. A haunting melody lingered in his ears, and his heart was filled with the story of a lonely girl.

In just three minutes, he heard her longing for her family’s affection, friendship, wanting to be free of her cage and longing for freedom countless times in the past eighteen years.

What was more, he realized how important Leon was to her.

For a moment, John felt very sad. He had chosen to be alone, but Nina had been forced into it.

‘Honey, I’ll be with you and never leave you lonely,’ John thought.

“Mr. Shi, she’s so talented! That was amazing.” Adrian looked at John in admiration.

With a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, John said, “She’s my wife, after all.”

“Okay, okay. Everyone in Lexingport City knows she’s your wife.” John felt quite proud.

He was a self-centered man and had a wonderful wife. He had a lot to be proud of.

“She composed this music for her brother, but she hasn’t written any music for you,” Adrian said in a hushed voice.

John turned his head and gave Adrian a cold look.

John didn’t care about that since Nina was all his.

The music came to an end.

The audience burst into thunderous applause.

They stood and kept clapping. Nina was beginning to feel a bit embarrassed.

Vivian’s face was as white as a sheet. ‘Are these people deaf?

She screwed it up, but she still gets a standing ovation?’

But nothing got past May. “Am I hearing things, or was this piece different from what Miss Ye played?” she asked after the applause died down.

Vivian was overjoyed at the thought that this might help embarrass Nina.

“You didn’t actually play the score. Some of it was different,” Vivian said with concern. “Nina, did you read the sheet music only one time?”

“Yes, I did.” Nina nodded calmly.

“No wonder you made some mistakes.” Vivian kindly informed Nina.

Nina shook her head calmly. “No, I didn’t make any mistakes. There are several mistakes in the sheet music.

“Really?” May asked.

“Yeah.” Nina nodded.

With a worried look on her face, Vivian said, “Nina, this music score was brought here by Prince Leon himself. How could there be mistakes? He’s the prince of C Island. You don’t want to make him angry.”

May thought that Vivian should become an actress. She was really hamming it up.

‘If she really became an actress, we’d be fighting over roles.

I shouldn’t worry, though. I know I’m good enough.’

“Mrs. Shi, how do you know there were some mistakes? You didn’t write this.”

Knowing that they were deliberately trying to embarrass her, Nina admitted frankly, “I wrote it. I wrote it for my brother when I was sixteen years old.”
