Lost in Mr. Preston's Temptation

Chapter 69 Obedient and Gentle

As he spoke, Baxter casually glanced at the pile of huge black roses in front of the floor-to-ceiling

window. He was stupefied.

“Damn, Ethan, where did you buy so many black roses?”

He didn’t know much about flowers, but he has heard that black roses are difficult to cultivate and had

a shorter flowering period than other roses.

There are at least a thousand flowers here, right?

“I don’t know. Your brother bought them.” Ethan took a sip of the black tea, his expression indifferent. “I

got them to celebrate Clara getting a job.”

Baxter tutted, “Ethan, we all know that you’re a domineering CEO, but you don’t need to be so high-

profile, do you?”

In the afternoon he had sent a rose diamond to Clara, and now he had his brother buy more than a

thousand black roses and bring them to the villa!

“This is considered high-profile?” Ethan slightly raised his eyebrows.

Clara who was standing on the side was afraid Baxter would tell him about what happened at the

entrance to the restaurant this afternoon, so she picked up a piece of watermelon from the fruit plate

and stuffed it in his mouth.

She changed the subject. “By the way, before when you said you had something to do, was it to get

this violin?”

Ethan seemed to have realized her intention and glanced at her.

“Yes.” Baxter seemed to not have realized what had happened and said vaguely while eating a piece of

watermelon, “Such a valuable thing, of course I have to meet the seller to complete the transaction.”

If I didn’t meet him face to face, I wouldn’t have been able to “buy” it!

“The legacy of a violin master is something that many people value highly. If a violinist, had it, he

wouldn’t have sold it even if offered a sky-high price.” Clara looked at the violin on the sofa.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Why was the seller willing to sell you such a violin?” She guessed, “Could it be that the seller was a

dealer in violins?”

Baxter was still thinking about how he could explain, but seeing Clara guess, he simply followed her,

“Yes, yes! When I made a deal with that guy, he also said that he had a lot of other expensive violins at

his home. If you want, he can sell me them at a discount, he isn’t just a violin dealer!”

Clara nodded. “No wonder.”

This kind of violin, the violinist who had it would want to treasure it and wouldn’t sell it.

It was different if it had previously belonged to a violin dealer.

Ethan’s eyes swept over the violin case, and he suddenly asked Clara, “Can you play Judith Rui?”

“Yes, it’s a basic violin song. I’ve played it hundreds of times.” This was also Clara’s favorite piece.

Many years ago, if it weren’t for that friend at the hospital’s encouragement, she might not have learned

the violin.

Thinking happy thoughts, Clara couldn’t help but smile and look at Ethan, “Ethan, do you want to hear

it?”

“Yeah.” He lazily rested his long arms on the back of the sofa.

“Sure.” Clara opened the violin case and took out the violin. She muttered, “But I haven’t touched a

violin for several years. Don’t hold it against me If it’s not good.”

Baxter nibbled at the pear and grinned. “It’s okay, everyone here is family. No matter how unpleasant

you play, we won’t hold it against you!”

Ethan gave him a chilly glance. Baxter felt the chill on his neck and quickly moved to sit next to Donny.

After playing violin for so many years, Clara was a bit nervous.

She stood quietly in the middle of the living room. The lantern hanging above her lit up her face and her

fine and curly eyelashes and cast a shadow over her eyelids.

As she pulled the bow slightly, she looked obedient and gentle.

Ethan’s heart was suddenly touched and began to boil with emotions, but his deep eyes still remained

calm. Updated at Drąmanovеls.cоm

Suddenly, the man remembered something that he had almost forgotten.

One day a year ago, he had been in a hurry to return to J city from Europe. When his car had been

passing by a church, it had been suddenly rear ended by a car from behind, making him increasingly

irritable.

However, the car that had rear ended him was a wedding car. He still had urgent matters to deal with

and did not want to make a big fuss about it, so he had let his driver drive away.

Just at that moment someone had knocked on the window.

Ethan had lowered the window impatiently and had seen through his sunglasses a woman in a

wedding dress standing in front of the car. She had looked beautiful.
