Chapter 779
Meanwhile, Rachel was still inside the fitting room trying on clothes, and he didn’t have his laptop.
The pile of unfinished work weighed on him, causing a headache.
To keep things harmonious on the surface, he had to make regular shopping trips with his wife and accompany her to flower arranging classes.
Out of the blue, a recognizable tune reached his ears.
Brady promptly rose from his seat and began to wander around, tracking down the source of the sound.
Finally, his eyes settled on the massive screen on the first floor.
A man, head bowed, deeply engrossed in singing-a rendition of Everleigh’s song, her breakthrough hit, “Starlight”.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“Starlight” was the song Everleigh had crafted to express her emotions to him openly.
Brady’s heart stirred, and slowly but surely, ripples started to form in his long-dormant heart.
The images of that young lady staying up late to revise lyrics and melodies remained vivid.
Out of the blue, the moment she handed him the newly released album played back before his eyes.
Suddenly, the man singing on the screen raised his gaze and those eyes…
Those eyes bore a striking resemblance to Everleigh from his memories!
Two young girls who happened to walk by took out their phones to snap pictures, with one of them gushing about how handsome Sumner Looked.
Brady suddenly realized — the performer was Sumner.
It had been some time since he last saw him, and the resemblance to his mother was growing stronger, including his inherited musical talent.
Reflecting on his son, who had grown up away from him, Brady was proud to see that Sumner had not only stayed on a commendable path but had also achieved remarkable success, attributing it to Everleigh’s excellent genes.
Emerging from the dressing room to find Brady absent without warning, Rachel was momentarily confused.
A helpful saleswoman told her Brady was over by the viewing area.
As Rachel neared, she too caught the soulful singing.
But Brady engrossed in the song, remained unaware of her arrival, which irked her.
She couldn’t help but let out a disdainful hum.
Snapping back to reality, Brady quickly faced her, his earlier frustration gone, now replaced with a warm smile.
“Have you finished trying on? This outfit suits you well; it really matches your style.
”
Met with Rachel’s scornful look as she tossed the garments at him, disregarding his praise, she glanced at the large screen and scoffed, “So captivated by Everleigh’s song, are you missing that bitch again? Brady, will you ever let her go?”
The marriage entered into between the Lawson And Walsh families was strictly a business arrangement.
Rachel knew even before marrying Brady that he already had a beloved woman occupying a substantial space in his heart.
Rachel’s heart eclipsed.
Although Everleigh had already passed away, she could not stomach the fact that her husband still nurtured another woman in his heart!
Brady was afraid that she would notice the big screen and sense something, so he cleverly maneuvered her in the opposite direction.
Then he attempted to shrewdly defend himself.
“How could it be? I just came over leisurely for a breath of fresh air.
Honestly speaking, if you had not mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed it at all.
Are you jealous?”
Brady grasped Rachel’s hand but she shook him off and declared sarcastically, “You can think about whoever you want.
As the head of the Lawson Group, you are privileged to have as many affairs outside as you choose.
You just taking time to accompany me, the aging and fading Mrs.
Lawson, is in itself commendable.
”
Brady took no offence.
He smiled and joked, “You are my one and only legitimate wife! The lady of the Lawson family.
Apart from you, no other woman can catch my eye.
”
Brady had a unique way of making people feel at ease.
After a bit of gentle cajoling, Rachel lost her aloofness and became happier.
She allowed the salesperson to take him to the fitting room to try on the suit she had chosen for him.
