Despite the blush on her cheeks, Matilda confidently epted the microphone and smiled as she said, “Please don’t misunderstand. We’re just singing a song together. If anyone else wants to join me, I’d be more than happy to apany you!”


    Greyson felt a twinge of irritation. As a married man, he couldn’t fathom how Jacob could so boldly invite his idol to sing a love song with him.


    However, he quickly suppressed his feelings when he remembered that Jacob’s son-inw had managed tomand Oscar’s respect. He chose his words carefully, opting to hold his tongue.


    Jacob wore an enthusiastic grin, his heart racing as he sneakily nced at Matilda.


    At that moment, their eyes met, and when Matilda noticed the unhidden admiration in Jacob’s gaze, her cheeks flushed even deeper.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The song’s prelude began to y.


    With the microphone in hand, Matilda focused intently on the screen.


    As the music transitioned, she took the lead, singing the female part.


    “Let my love be with you forever…”


    “Can you feel it? I am worried for you…”


    Matilda’s voice was enchanting, captivating the older men in the room. They were utterly charmed and impressed by her talent.


    Jacob felt goosebumps travel down his arms; Matilda’s singing rivaled that of a professional artist.<fnfd1d> ?????? ???? f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fnfd1d>


    Thunderous apuse erupted from their old ssmates as shepleted her verse.


    Next up was Jacob’s turn to sing the male part. Just as he lifted the microphone, preparing to pour his heart into the song, his cell phone, resting on the coffee table, began to vibrate.


    He instinctively nced at the screen and was taken aback by the name shing on the caller ID.


    It read ‘wife’…


    What on earth?


    In an instant, Jacob’s spirits plummeted!


    ine had been missing for two days and two nights, her phone turned off, and now she was calling? What could this mean?


    Could it be…


    That troublesome woman was back?


    His heart sank as he confirmed his fears. If ine, whose phone had been off for days, was suddenly calling him, it could only mean one thing—she was back.


    Panic surged through Jacob!


    ine was back. What was he going to do?


    Wasn’t his blissful lifeing to an abrupt end?


    Meanwhile, Jacob’s phone continued to vibrate on the coffee table, and he had missed his cue to sing.


    His old ssmates began to tease him, saying, “Jacob, are you too nervous singing with Matilda? It’s your turn to sing!”


    Matilda chimed in, “Jacob, why aren’t you singing your part?”


    Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Jacob nced at his phone again. He knew ine well; if he didn’t answer her call, she would certainly be furious.
