Please Take Me Home Daddy (by Mona Surrey) novel Chapter 193

Leroy punched the table and said in a suppressed voice, “Did he say that to us? Is he mocking us?”

Jeremy took a sip of lemonade and said in an eerily tone, “I heard that Antonio gave each of his sons a monthly allowance of 200 thousand dollars, which they can’t spend all of. And if they get an award, they can get 20,000 dollars as a bonus. Everett must have a lot of money considering the fact that he plays so many games a year. We can’t compete with him now, but as long as we earn more money than him in the future, it’s fine. Don’t mind them. Keep a good mindset.“”

Rachel thought it was reasonable and said, “That’s right.”

Elaine and Leroy nodded, and they began focusing on the menu seriously.

After making the choice, they still glanced at the upper seats absentmindedly.

Laura had her back turned to them, facing the lazy group of four teenagers.

Laura peeked over the railing and said, “There’s even a band downstairs. Can guests go up and perform?”

Everett was playing with his phone in boredom. Hearing this, he replied, “Of course. Many children will voluntarily go up to perform, but it’s too embarrassing for that kind of thing. I’ve never done it.”

Rachel sneered, “You haven’t done it before, or you just can’t do it?”

Laura was stunned and turned to look at Rachel. She said, “Does it have anything to do with you? Don’t you have your own business, so you want to meddle with us?”

Zayn chuckled and said, “Well done, Laura.”

Rachel paused for a moment. Unwilling to show weakness, she said, “I just think that we should seize every opportunity to show our talents. For example, I’ve passed Piano Performance Grade 8, and my two younger brothers have passed Grade 7. We have the ability, so we can go up and perform, unlike some people who can only talk.”

Laura felt speechless and said, “Well, you’re so awesome.”

Then she turned back and ignored Rachel.

Rachel felt insulted. She gritted her teeth and said, “Laura, you’re a coward. You know that your four brothers are not good at anything except fighting, so you’re trying to speak up for them. If you’re really capable, do you want to compare with us?”

Laura looked at her ridiculously and said, ‘Rachel, are you done yet?”

Rachel smiled at her, not giving her a chance to refuse, and said, “My brother is good. He has passed Piano Performance

Grade 7.”

Then she looked at Leroy and said, “Leroy, go give them a sample.”

Leroy stood up proudly and went downstairs to the piano. A fluent tune flowed from his fingertips.

The tune was passionate, unable to conceal its grandeur.

The more Leroy played, the more devoted he became. He almost tossed his glasses off.

Laura was stunned.

She was not surprised because of the tune. Indeed, she was stunned because she didn’t agree to the competition.

She looked at her brothers with an absurd look and said, “Is my refusal not enough? Why is he playing the piano now? They began the competition without my consent!”

The four teenagers chuckled at her reaction.

“Rachel’s trying to force us to compete with them,” Jasper remarked with a smirk. He added, “She’s determined to do it.”

Laura was speechless.

She looked at Rachel in distress.

She just wanted to have pizza.

Rachel thought Laura was backing down. She couldn’t hide her joy and said, “Laura, this piece is called Radetsky March. You’ve probably only heard it at the sports event.”

Laura was not interested in it and said, “I never heard it, because I had diarrhea during the parade at the sports event.”

Rachel was speechless.

As the piece of music ended, Leroy stood up proudly and left the piano.

The diners graciously applauded. Someone said, “This kid is quite talented.”

“Yeah, it looks like he’s only in fifth or sixth grade.”

Leroy walked proudly up the stairs with these praises.,

He happened to pass by a table where two handsome elderly men were seated.

Sebastian elegantly wiped his mouth and looked at Leroy’s retreating figure.

Tyler sat across from him, resting his chin on his hand. He sighed and said, “Kids these days face so much competition pressure. He can play the piano at such a young age.”

Sebastian snorted coldly, “The piece he played can only be described in two words. Awful.”

Tyler said, “Isn’t that one word?”

Sebastian said indifferently, “Does the number of words matter?”

Tyler shrugged and said, “I think he’s quite good. The kid is working so hard. Why dampen his spirits? You’re meeting my disciple in a few days. How can you greet her with this attitude?”

Sebastian’s interest waned. He said, “As far as I know, Laura didn’t agree to be your disciple. Just finish the meal and let me go. I don’t want to listen to some noisy music here.”

Leroy didn’t hear a word of their conversation.

He puffed up his chest, strutting back to their table like a proud rooster.

Elaine said with honor, “Leroy, you did a great job! You’ve brought honor to our family!”

Leroy proudly raised his head and said, “Of course. I received applause. Naturally, I did a good job!”

Rachel was proud of it, and she looked at Laura provocatively. She said, “Come on, Laura. Please choose your hero.”

Laura felt speechless.

She had no choice but to turn her head and look at her brothers.

The four boys were relaxed and casual, looking at her.

Zayn said in a flat tone, “You can choose me.”

Jasper looked relaxed and said, “Just choose one casually.”

Laura didn’t know what to say.

She didn’t want to make a choice.

She was just here for pizza!

She was speechless, and she looked at Rachel earnestly. She said, “Rachel, I’m here for dinner with them. Don’t bother

us.”

Rachel said, “So you’re backing down, right?”

Laura felt overwhelmed and explained to her, “No, it’s not that. You are the ones who want a competition in the first place.

I never want to compete with you! I just want to enjoy,my meal happily, you know?”

Rachel said firmly, “So you’re backing down.”

Laura was speechless and could only look at Zayn.

Zayn understood and was about to get up.

But Everett pressed his shoulder and said, “I’ll handle this.”

Laura was astonished, watching as Everett stood up from his chair.

Rachel chuckled and said, “Everett, I remember you can box. With those fists of yours, can you even play the piano?”

Everett said nothing, hands in his pockets. He lazily walked downstairs to the piano.

Laura nervously peered out.

Everett sat on the piano stool with his back straightened and his wrists hanging in the air. In an instant, he began playing a piece of melody effortlessly, which was familiar to everyone.

He played it so fluently!

The delinquent suddenly became graceful!

Rachel’s eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.

She wondered how Everett could do that!

Laura clung to the railing, even more astonished. She said, “Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata?”

Jasper was surprised and asked, “Do you know it?”

Laura nodded and said, “Because Zayn can play it too!”

Inside the restaurant, there was also a stir of amazement, as everyone watched Everett’s refined face.

He had gained his facial features from both Winnie and Antonio.

His sharp eyes were like Antonio’s and his delicate nose was like Winnie’s. He looked roguish yet delicate. Combined with his unique aura of recklessness, he could attract everyone’s attention.

But when he was sitting there with the white, three–legged piano, he looked dignified and wild. With effortless ease, his performance seemed so easy.

Unlike the way Leroy performed, Everett looked even more handsome.

Xander stood aside with his arms crossed and said calmly, “Everett had reached Grade 10 in piano when he was ten years old. After that, he focused on free combat, combat arts, and other instruments. I really don’t see what there is to show off about reaching Grade 7.”

Leroy was speechless.

He felt the fact that he was satirized!

At the end of the piece, Everett got up lazily, and thunderous applause erupted.

He seemed indifferent, walking back to his seat amidst the applause.

Laura enthusiastically rushed up to him and said, “Everett, you’re awesome! You are the real hero!”

Jasper reminded Laura jealously, “Laura, don’t act like you have never seen the world outside before. Each one of us here has reached Grade 10. Today, those of us dining with you are all trump cards. It doesn’t matter who goes to perform.”

Laura immediately turned to look at Rachel and said excitedly, “That’s great! You can’t win the competition, and I can eat pizza now!”

Rachel said, “Are you obsessed with pizza?”

Laura put her hands on her hips and said, “Of course! Otherwise, would I be obsessed with you? Then I wouldn’t be able to

eat!”

Rachel was speechless.

She thought, ‘Why is she so impolite?‘
