Chapter 347 What Does She Say?

“The moon shines over the sea, floating high in the clouds.

“When I think of the moon, I think of you—alone, with no way back.

“Proud, it ignores the stars.

“Hurt, it drifts past the planets.

“The stars feel regret.

“The planets feel sorrow.

“They knew the moon’s quiet beauty.

“Why didn’t they pay attention sooner?

“This isn’t about getting you back.

“It’s about regret.

“So the stars and planets came together and wrote a song.”

The song was called “Moon in Clouds.”

Seeing that, Tilda finally realized where that bad feeling had come from.

Mystro finished reading the manuscript with her and let out a soft sigh. “Timothy, you shouldn’t have gotten involved in this.”

“Uh, I was just delivering it for the guest. I didn’t know what was inside,” Timothy lied, feeling uneasy. He wanted nothing to do with the situation. Honestly, the only reason he helped Kayden was because they were friends. Back when Timothy was in a tight spot, Kayden had his back. He owed Kayden. Otherwise, Timothy would never have taken such a thankless task. It just made people mad and got him nothing.

Tilda casually dropped the manuscript on the table, then shot Timothy a sharp look. “Mr. Robinson, if you feel sorry for me and want to calm me down, I need you to do two things for me.”

When Tilda stared at him, Timothy felt like he couldn’t breathe, like something heavy was pressing on his chest. He could hardly breathe.

He even felt as if he said no, she could crush him on the spot. “I… I understand. Just tell me what you want…” Timothy was panicking inside. He was Ferris Wheel Diner’s manager and head chef, a big shot in Fairville. How did he end up completely overpowered by a girl? Kayden, you truly screwed me this time!

Kayden had already returned to his table. Wade kept sneaking glances at Tilda’s table, watching until Timothy finally left. Then, she stood up and walked away as well.

Wade muttered, “Tilda must know that piano piece was meant for her, right? Is she coming over? But… she’s going the wrong way.” If Tilda were coming for them, he’d be freaking out instead. With her temper, if she wasn’t touched by what they’d done, she’d definitely say something to crush them. Wade was used to it by now, even numb to it. He owed her. No matter how sharp her words were, he had to take them and couldn’t fight back. But if even that didn’t move her, not even a little, what could they do? How could they ever earn her forgiveness? How could she ever forgive her brothers?

“Wade, relax. We did everything we could.

“Tonight was our shot. Now that we’ve tried, we have nothing to regret even if we fail.” Kayden sounded like a huge weight had been lifted off him. His face looked lighter, calmer than ever.

“You’re right, Kayden. This is all we can do.

“If Tilda still doesn’t come after all this, maybe that’s just how it’s meant to be.

“If it were the old Tilda, she’d definitely come over and laugh at us for wasting our time.” Wade gave a small, embarrassed smile.

Santiago quietly ate, rolling his eyes at Kayden and Wade talking nonstop about Tilda. He wanted to tease them that they were losing their minds over her. Not even good food could shut them up, and he couldn’t eat in peace. He’d heard about Tilda so many times that his ears were almost numb. He even felt irritated. Too bad he couldn’t say anything, or Kayden and Wade would scold him.

After that, the three ate in silence. Kayden and Wade’s hands shook as they ate. They constantly glanced at Mystro’s table. Tilda still hadn’t returned. She hadn’t come to find them, and she hadn’t left with Mystro either. What was she up to? They couldn’t even enjoy their food.

About 15 minutes later, Timothy appeared at their table, looking serious.

“Timothy, did Tilda say anything?” Kayden tried to stay calm. He’d done everything he could. But he couldn’t hide the rush of nerves and excitement as he waited for an answer.
