Please Take Me Home Daddy (by Mona Surrey) novel Chapter 195

Jasper seemed to have the same feelings as Zayn did. He was so scared that he covered his chest and said, “Laura… When

she gets angry, she’s quite intimidating, right?”

Zayn came back to his senses and nodded sincerely.

That was indeed true.

Laura didn’t get angry easily, but she was definitely not easy to mess with.

Laura ran to the stage quickly and borrowed the microphone. She didn’t speak with a cold face.

Elaine took the microphone and said to the sound engineer, “Please play Counting Stars.

She looked at Laura defiantly and asked, “Can you sing?”

Laura said impatiently, “You sing the first verse, and I’ll sing the second verse. Make it quick.”

Elaine sneered and looked at the bewildered guests. Then she smiled kindly and said, “Hello, everyone. I’m Elaine, and I’m going to sing a song with this little girl named Laura. After we finish, please shout out the name of either one of us who you think sang better, okay?”

The guests at the restaurant looked at each other and nodded with great interest. “Sure!”

“Is that really Laura? She looks much prettier than on TV!”

“She’s so adorable. But she seems a bit unhappy, doesn’t she?”

“I guess she was forced to compete? Pushed by her mom?”

“Well, we live in the same world. Parents always force their children to perform.”

But among this group of guests, Tyler’s reaction was quite different.

His mouth was slightly open. He was dumbfounded from the moment Laura took the stage.

He thought, ‘Is that my disciple?

‘No, my future disciple?

‘She’s here, too!

‘What a coincidence!‘

He grabbed Sebastian’s arm and said,/‘Look! That’s my disciple, Laural”

Sebastian was stunned and looked at Laura.

She had black hair tied up in a bun, dressed like an adult, and her small face was full of displeasure.

But surprisingly, she exuded a sense of sophistication.

He looked at Tyler.

Tyler was so excited. He said, “My disciple is going to sing! She must know that I’m here and that she is intentionally performing for me.”

Sebastian thought it was impossible.

He wanted to pour cold water on Tyler, but seeing him smile so happily, Sebastian smiled reluctantly and said, “Then let’s

listen and see how well your disciple can sing.”

Laura stood on the high platform and didn’t mind that everyone was looking at her and shooting a video.

She didn’t pay attention to the guests. Instead, she just looked up at her dining table.

Her brothers and Zayn were already standing by the railing.

Everett deliberately showed Laura the cheese stretching while eating the pizza. He said, “Laura, hurry up! Or the pizza won’t stretch anymore!”

Laura felt speechless.

He just knew how to make her feel worried!

Then, the prelude began, and Elaine slowly began to sing, “Lately I been, I been losing sleep. Dreaming about the things

that we could be…”

Her childish voice echoed in the restaurant, and the guests, initially full of anticipation, gradually became resigned as they

listened to her.

It was okay, on pitch.

But it wasn’t pleasant to listen to.

Sebastian directly covered his ears.

Rachel frowned and walked up to the stage to pick up a new microphone, taking over.

Her voice was melodious and graceful, very pleasant to the ears.

The guests‘ eyes lit up.

Elaine simply stopped singing, admiringly watching Rachel.

Jeremy and Leroy looked proud, glancing at the four young teenagers on the platform. “Let me tell you, Rachel sings the

best among us, and every time she performs at a ceremony, she always wins first place.”

Zayn said indifferently, “Well, it’s none of our business.”

Jeremy and Leroy didn’t know what to say.

Sebastian was tapping on the table rhythmically, feeling a bit interested.

He thought that Rachel did have some talents.

Tyler, on the other hand, was impatient. He said, “Why are only these two kids singing? Why isn’t my disciple singing?”

Laura stood aside expressionlessly.

Elaine and Rachel had sung the majority of the entire song, and they seemed to be getting more involved. Even the guests were clapping along with the rhythm.

But someone murmured, “When is Laura’s turn? These two kids are too bad. They’re squeezing Laura out and not letting her sing, aren’t they?”

“That’s right. The two girls are quite scheming.”

Suddenly, Rachel looked at Laura with a wicked smile.

She wanted to leave the most complicated part to Laura.

She wanted Laura to sing and go off–key immediately!

And she wanted Laura to make a fool of herself in public!

Laura received her signal and raised the microphone with a poker face.

Jasper said nervously, “She’s going to sing!”

Laura’s eyes were calm, as if nothing could disturb her, but when she opened her mouth, her voice was clear and bright.

She sang, “I feel the love. And I feel it burn.

“Down this river every turn. Hope is a four–letter word,’

All the guests were shocked with their eyes widened.

Everett, who was focusing on the cheese, looked at Laura in surprise.

Jasper covered his mouth in disbelief.

Xander’s calm expression also showed a trace of shock.

Zayn was confident of Laura’s victory and clapped his hands.

The guests responded one after another, the applause thundering before quickly stopping.

Goosebumps rose all over!

They wondered how Laura’s singing could be so clear!

And her performance overshadowed that of Rachel’s.

Chapter 195

Although her childish voice lacked any technique, it felt like she was born to sing, and when she sang, it sent shivers down

everyone’s spine!

Someone said excitedly, “Amazing! Why is she an actor? Be a singer!”

Tyler was even more excited. He stood up and pulled Sebastian’s arm. He said, “Did you hear that? She’s my disciplet She’s versatile! Her voice’s so beautiful! No one can match her!”

Sebastian’s eyes became brighter and brighter. He looked at Laura with strong interest, as if he wanted to take her under

his wing.

Laura didn’t care when she heard these applauses. She turned to look at Elaine and Rachel, whose faces were cold, and

sang with great emotion, “Make that money. Watch it burn. Old, but I’m not that old. Young, but I’m not that bold.”

Rachel got anxious and quickly picked up the microphone, intending to drown out her voice.

But Laura’s voice was so clear, she couldn’t overpower it. She could only raise her voice. Suddenly, she went off key.

The guests frowned impatiently.

“Well, why is this scheming girl starting again?”

“That sounds terrible…”

“Can’t they let Laura sing alone? Haven’t they sung enough?”

Rachel felt the hostility from everyone, and her voice gradually weakened. Her palms even sweated.

Laura didn’t stop, and she happened to make a perfect ending.

Thunderous applause erupted again!

The outcome was clear.

Some people remembered the initial agreement and cheered for her!

“Laura! Laura! Laura!”

“Laura!”

“Laura! You’re so awesome!”

“Lala!”

Jasper leaned against the railing, not knowing what expression to make and feeling teary–eyed. He said, “I don’t know why, but her singing makes me want to cry.”

Xander didn’t comment. He looked at Laura with appreciation and said, “There is no denying that she sang really well.”

Everett whistled while leaning against the railing. He said, “Laural Well done! You’re freaking awesome!”
