The Omnipotent Mrs. Ranford By Darlene Wright
Chapter 43

Chapter 43

He did not expect that a young lady he had not known for long would be able to hit his weak spot

He remained expressionless as he quietly looked at this little girl and curled his lips. The feason why I do things that I don’t like is that one day.

I will do things that I like. But you’re different. You can do what you like now Do you understand?”

“Yes!” Alexandra nodded heavily. She felt that everything Julian said made sense

He was as much a mentor to her as a friend.

“Then… Mr. Ranford, what exactly do you like? What do you really like in your heart?” Alexandra was suddenly curious.

“What does a man who is so popular in the business world really like in his heart?” she thought.

This was the first time in his life that someone had asked him this.

“What does he really like in his heart?”

He could not help but look at this cute little girl in front of him. He wondered what had gotten into her because she had managed to make his mind waver twice tonight.

As for what he really liked, he would not tell her this.

What he liked had nothing to do with her.

There was no need to explain it to her.

After all, they were only partners in business.

They were not friends, let alone lovers who could share their private thoughts.

Julian realized that he had been a little emotional just now and was touched by two words that he usually didn’t hear.

He quickly composed himself. His eyes were deep and blurry. “You should think about it carefully. What do you like?”

“Oh.”

“If you really like someone, even if it’s difficult, you won’t feel that it’s hard.”

“Yeah.”

At dinner time, Josephine and the others also came back.

It was obvious that Josephine wasn’t in a good mood because there was no smile on her face, and her eyes seemed to be a little red. It was obvious that her son was seriously ill in bed, which made her very upset.

Alexandra wanted to go up and comfort her, but Julian and Caroline were around her. Alexandra felt that she had no right to say anything

After dinner, Julian returned to the study

He was just such a workaholic.

It was still early, and Alexandra couldn’t sleep, so she went for a walk in the courtyard.

The Ranford family’s courtyard was very large. In addition to the house where their entire family lived, there were two small houses in the backyard. One of them was the maids residence, and the other was behind the main building. It looked like it was only two stories high.

In the past, Alexandra had never seen anyone enter or leave this place.

Chapter 43

Alexandra walked to the backyard.

As her thoughts ran wild, she suddenly heard a melody coming from behind her..

She couldn’t help but stop and listen carefully.

Then, she could tell that it was the melody played by the piano. However, compared to the melody coming from the school’s assembly hall, the melody she heard was much simpler.

It seemed to be a basic practice song.

Alexandra turned around and realized that the sound was coming from the small house in the backyard. The house was actually lit tonight.

She had always thought that no one lived inside. It was a place like a warehouse.

As the melody played softly, Alexandra involuntarily approached the small white house.

The door to the little house was a double brown door, half open. White light shone out along the four-sided windows and under the door.

The closer she got, the clearer the music became. For the first time, Alexandra knew that the Ranford family had a piano.

However, when she walked to the door and saw the scene inside, she was really shocked.

Because the person sitting in front of a white grand piano was actually Josephine!

Josephine sat on the piano bench and focused on the music score and plano keys.

She was like a child who was practicing seriously.

The piano sound was not very smooth, but it was relatively good.

Suddenly, the sound stopped. Josephine turned around and saw Alexandra standing at the door, listening attentively.

Alexandra blushed when she was discovered. She couldn’t leave or go in. Both were embarrassing for her.

Josephine was a little surprised to see Alexandra standing there.

She sighed and retracted her gaze. She picked up the old music score in front of her and began to slowly put it away.

Alexandra saw that she had no intention of chasing her away, so she mustered her courage and walked in.

“Grams.”

When she came to Josephine’s side, Alexandra was also shocked by this unremarkable building seen from the outside.

It turned out that this was not a warehouse, but a small hexagonal assembly hall. In the middle was a stage about 20 to 30 centimeters tall, and

the piano was on it.

All around was empty. There were no seats. Near the east wall was a couple of built-in CD racks side by side.

Needless to say, they were all plano CDs.

Alexandra retracted her exclamation. For some reason, she began to feel uneasy.

As Josephine placed the music score into the white box, she asked her, “Is Julian still busy?”

“Yes, he’s in the study.”

Alexandra thought she was just asking casually, but Josephine had other intentions.

Ever since they got married, Julian spent most of his evenings in the study.

Chapter 43

She had no idea how the couple got along in the bedroom.

B

She knew that Julian did not like Alexandra Julian was her grandson after all. She knew what kind of girl Julian liked. The only thing he would not like was a stupid, brainless, and humble girl like Alexandra.

She knew exactly where Alexandra came from.

However, because of Julian, she looked the other way.

This time, he had almost fallen out with Mr. McFadden mainly because his reputation could not be trampled on. It definitely could not be because of how deep his feelings for Alexandra were.

Josephine reminded him, “Julian has to deal with a lot of company matters and is very busy. As his wife, you have to learn to share his burden and not distract him or cause him trouble.”

“I know, Grams.”

“Okay.”

Alexandra looked at the white piano. Although she did not know the brand of the piano, she could tell that this piano was much more advanced than the one in the school assembly hall.

She asked, “Grams, is this your piano room?”

“No,” Josephine answered.

“And that is?”

“It’s Julian’s.”

Alexandra was stunned. She wondered if Julian liked the piano too.

She actually didn’t know about this at all.

Josephine glanced at Alexandra and explained to her, “Julian likes pianos. He was the one who built this small building. On the shelf over there are limited edition piano CDs that he collected.”

Alexandra followed Josephine’s gaze and looked at the CD racks. She suddenly understood something and lost something.

‘So, Julian, who loves the piano, actually wants to marry the pianist Veronica, right?” she thought.

“Why didn’t he insist upon his engagement with the Doherty family?” she asked herself.

She wondered if he was worried that the unbreakable rumors on the Internet would make the Doherty family retreat, or if there was another

reason.

Alexandra stared at the CD racks in a daze.

He began to visualize an image in her mind.

In this small and exquisite piano room, the famous pianist, Veronica, was playing while Julian stood at the side as her faithful listener.

That scene looked very beautiful.
