The opening piece was the bold and colorful Rachmaninoll’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in B–flat minor. The performance was melodious and dynamic, radiating youthful enthusiasm and joy. The piece conveyed his delight in returning home after departing in his youth.

There were two times when Makayla intended to attend Kevin’s concen, but she missed both opportunities. Unexpectedly, her dream came true this time.

After several piano pieces in a row, everyone wanted more. As the music stopped, applause erupted.

Kevin rose from the piano and bowed gracefully to express his gratitude. There was a beautiful female host on stage with him, and she said gently, “Do you think Mr. Weston’s performance just now was thrilling?”

“Yes” everyone replied in unison.

“Do you want more?”

“Well, we have Mr. Weston’s permission this time. Next, we will select a lady from the audience who can play the piano to perform a piece with Mr. Weston, the host said.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience.

For music enthusiasts, being able to play together with their favorite musicians was a dream come true. Mikayla was no exception. However, she hadn’t played the piano for a long time. For nearly three years, Mikayla focused solely on her studies, hoping to ease Jaxon’s career burden one day, thus setting aside her beloved piano.

Kevin observed the two of them and whispered something to the female host.

Then, she spoke into the microphone. “Mr. Weston has informed me that he has selected his duet partner” She gestured invitingly. “It is that mister’s female companion.”

Carlos squeezed Mikayla’s hand under the crowd’s expectant gaze, offering her encouragement and support.

“May I know how to address you?” the host asked.

Holding the microphone, Mikayla’s voice was soft. “Salvatore

“Hello, Ms. Salvatore! How do you feel about performing with Mr. Weston

performances since his debut and I am deeply captivated by his style.”

Mikayla remembered her first contact with the piano when she was a child. Sylvia, dressed in white, sat in front of the white piano. Her fingers danced and played beautiful music. Bathed in light, Sylvia seemed to be one with the piano.

At that time, Mikayla asked Sylvia the name of the piece. Sylvia told her that it was Piano Concerto in G major by a foreign composer, Ravel. From then on, she begged Sylvia to teach her to play the piano. However, Sylvia rarely played the piano apart from teaching her. She would occasionally be seen staring at it.

Now, Mikayla felt a familiar sensation return, sitting beside Kevin at the piano. However, she hadn’t touched a piano in three years, and performing with her idol for the first time in years made her nervous.

og Mikayla’s nervousness, Kevin muttered, “Don’t be nervous! Just pretend you’re playing as usual and follow my lead..

Sensing

The hall lights dimmed, leaving only a spotlight on her and Kevin.

Kevin’s fingers lightly struck the keys, playing the first note.

Hearing the familiar notes. Mikayla closed her eyes and imagined every moment she played with Sylvia. Her fingertips began to dance on the piano keys.

The song began with a whip crack. The audience was deeply moved by the melody, which was simple and clean. The piano made a magnificent tune, and the cadenza’s melody was exceptionally exquisite. Its beauty and chart reached a climax with a powerful fortissimo
