Reborn To Remarry My Ex Husband (Melody and Edward) novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132 Despise 

Chapter 132 Despise 

Melody’s impossible to tame! 

Derrick frowned. A flicker of disdain and frustration surged up in his eyes. 

Even after returning to the family, Melody remained distant and out of sync with them.

She was nothing like Suzanna, who had grown up with them and shared the same upbringing. They knew Suzanna inside out. 

His sinister gaze shifted coldly toward Melody, and he creased his brows. Derrick asked, “Melody, what are you doing here?” 

He stared at Melody and noticed the panic in her eyes as she turned to face him. He couldn’t believe she could have played the piano piece he’d just heard. 

Suzanna had been playing the piano since she was a child, and she had reached the highest level. 

On the other hand, Melody had grown up among a group of country bumpkins. She probably hadn’t even seen a piano before. Derrick couldn’t help but worry that she might damage Suzanna’s favorite instrument. 

Stepping forward, Derrick reprimanded her with a sharp tone. “This is Suzie’s favorite piano. If you can’t play, don’t touch it.” 

Melody’s eyes were filled with disappointment, yet she looked up at Derrick with a hint of defiance, mixed with a touch of pride. She said softly, “I can play too, Derrick.” 

In fact, she could play better than Suzanna! 

Determined, she reached for the keys and was eager to continue playing her own rendition of Night Bloom Nocturne. 

Melod had just returned to the Shields and yearned for a bit of praise. She looked up at Derrick with hopeft eyes. 

Before her fingers could even graze the keys, Derrick had coldly brushed her hand away from the piano. 

He towered over her, speaking firmly and ernestly. 

“Don’t touch it. This piano is expensive. Melody, I know you want to compete with Suzie in everything, but you two are on completely different levels. She has been playing for a decade, while you–well, you likely have never even touched a piano. There’s no need to compare, and honestly, you can’t. If you can’t do something, just admit it. I hate liars the most! Don’t make me lose respect for you.” 

His words were harsh. It was a clear display of his favoritism toward Suzanna and an intentional attempt to put Melody in her place. 

Since Melody’s return to the family, Suzanna’s heart condition has worsened, and her attacks are becoming more frequent. 

It didn’t take long for everyone to start to believe the prophecy and quietly label Melody as a jinx.

Chapter 132 Despise 

Everyone had been cold and distant, rejecting her every attempt to fit in. 

Derrick was no exception.

Melody lowered her head, feeling as if something sharp had pierced through her heart, leaving a cold, empty ache. 

She curled her fingers, no longer mentioning her piano skills. 

Back when she lived with the Tuckers, their life wasn’t particularly wealthy, but Martin had gone out of his way to buy her the best piano he could afford. 

At first, he’d spent all his savings on a keyboard, worried that Melody wouldn’t know how to play. 

He even worked as a janitor at a piano school, learning techniques from the teachers before coming home and teaching her himself. He taught her every note, every chord, and every rhythm. 

Luckily, Melody had a natural talent, and she had mastered it all on her own before long.
