Chapter 729
This was the first time Lindsey had seen Sumner showcasing such a striking appearance on stage.
He exuded a potent stage presence, effortlessly captivating the attention of everyone present.
Sensing Lindsey’s intense gaze, Sumner suddenly raised his head, and their eyes unexpectedly locked in a fleeting moment.
In the next second, Lindsey averted her gaze in awkwardness.
Unseen on Sumner’s face was the veil of disappointment, quietly cloaked within.
From that day forth, the once intimate bond between Sumner and Lindsey slowly eroded.
Save for professional interactions, Lindsey’s outreach ceased, a conscious avoidance permeating her daily routine.
Sumner yearned to exchange pleasantries with her on several occasions, yet each time, she deftly evaded him, disappearing with an excuse in tow.

While Sumner’s impulsive act of ki*sing Lindsey lingered as truth, no regret clouded his mind.
He didn’t wish for mere friendship; after all, he was the one who should be her fiancé.
As for Domenic, the two-timer, he embodied the archetype of a playboy.
His achievements were scant, rendering him unworthy of Lindsey’s affection.
The host’s throat-clearing snapped Sumner back to reality.
“You can commence your performance,” he announced.
Today, Sumner took center stage with a performance of both instrumental prowess and vocal talent.
He chose the chart-topping song, Starlight, once a defining piece for Everleigh.
Sumner’s relationship with the piano commenced at the tender age of three, guided by none other than Theo Tatum, a celebrated pianist.
His mastery of the instrument coupled with an emotional depth resonated powerfully through his music.
As he played, the audience spontaneously joined in harmony.
Poised on the bench like royalty, Sumner’s elegance commanded attention.
The moment his resonant voice filled the space, an audible restlessness rippled through the crowd.
“From the moment I knew you, my restless heart calmed down.
I want to be with you right now.
It’s not a sudden thing to love you.
It’s planned for a long time.
My love for you is prolonged.
Without you, life is meaningless.
I want us to be together like the stars and the moon.
”
While Sumner poured his heart into the verses, his gaze discreetly found its way towards Lindsey, a personal dedication laced within the lines of the song.
Selfish motives subtly underpinned his song, tailored specifically for Lindsey.
