The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 195

Zachary glanced over and saw the innocence and kindness in Yolanda’s eyes, which made him falter a bit.

“Zachary, you should go home. Don’t make your Mom upset; she’s only got you,” Yolanda understood

his predicament and comforted him, “No matter how she views me, as a Mom, she just wants you to be

happy, to find a good partner, and live a blissful life.”

“Aren’t you mad at her?” Zachary was surprised, looking into her eyes, he asked, “In the hospital, she

said so much that hurt you.”

She was against this marriage, even thought Yolanda wasn’t good enough.

Yolanda shook her head, and with a smile she said, “She and I, we both love you, we both want you to

be happy. I know her intentions are good, so I’m not mad.”

The classmates‘ jeers didn’t bother her, as long as she could become Zachary’s wife in the future, who

would dare laugh at her?

She didn’t want to be adopted by a janitor, but life played a cruel joke on her. Yet she didn’t complain;

always treated people around her with kindness. Was there any better girl in this world?

Even if she had dated other guys, so what? She grew up without father’s love, longing for someone to

care for her, was that wrong?

Thinking about her family situation when she was young, Zachary suddenly had a question, “When did

you learn to play the piano?”

He remembered she had mentioned that her Mom had a tough time raising her.

Under such circumstances, it was unlikely she had the chance to learn the piano.

Yolanda hadn’t expected Zachary to suddenly ask this question, which also piqued the curiosity of Olga

nearby, “Yeah, Yoli, it seemed like you hadn’t learned piano. before you returned to the Murphy

family!”

So, how did she learn to play the piano and even win awards?

“After I returned to the Murphy family, once, I saw a piano in my sister’s room, and then I just learned it

online.”

That was true, in order to improve her image, Yolanda had self–taught a lot online.

“There are piano lessons online; I practiced when no one was around. Later, my Dad saw that I really Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

liked the piano, so he bought me a new one, and even hired a tutor for me.”

That was also true, Attlee had a tutor come in every day to teach her after he saw her interest in piano,

but they didn’t know how much Yolanda had learned. “So, you just learned it like that? Piano is

complicated. I learned for ten years, and only got first place in a competition in the last two years.”

Zachary never thought his fiancée was so talented. She just returned to the Murphy family for a few

dozen days, and she already mastered such a difficult instrument!

“That’s what talent is. Arabella treats the piano like a decoration! Wasting such a costly piano!” Olga

became upset whenever she mentioned this, “On the other hand, Yoli only studied for a bit, and she

already got second place! Incredible!”

Yolanda felt a bit embarrassed being praised like this. She knew her own abilities; she only knew this

one piece. Although the tutor taught her other pieces; they were far from praiseworthy.

Anyone who knew the piano could tell what her skills were really like.

So, she had been practicing her competition piece at home non–stop, just so she could perform

normally today.

She knew Zachary knew the piano, so she practiced very hard.

At that moment, she noticed that Zachary’s gaze toward her became as gentle as before, and she felt a

temporary sense of relief.

On the stage.
