Chapter 1261 Performing
“Because today is his birthday. Let’s all, with the loudest applause, wish Mr. Mason, a happy birthday, shall we?”
As soon as the host spoke, everyone began to applaud, and wave after wave of applause rang out.
Under the attention of the crowd, Scott brought Jocelyn and Noah, together with Allie, to the front of the main table in front of the stage.
Allie took a seat with Noah and Jocelyn.
And Scott, is standing in front of his position, picked up a cup of tea, looking at everyone smiling, “Thank you all very much, in the midst of busy days, come to attend my birthday party, I am honored”
“Here, in lieu of tea, I thank you all for your well wishes”
With that, Scott lifted his cup of tea and drank it down in one go.
For their part, the crowd picked up the wine in front of them and drank the same in one go.
“There will be wine and meat here today, and there will be a show, so I hope you all will have a happy birthday with me”
Scott added.
Having said that, Scott sat down.
And the host, holding the microphone, said with a smile, “Today, someone has prepared a special gift for Mr. Mason as, today’s opening act.”
“A surprise gift?” Scott subconsciously looked at Jocelyn and Noah.
Jocelyn waved her hand and shook her head, saying she didn’t know.
Immediately afterwards, Scott looked at Allie again.
Allie reacted in the same way.
“If it’s not you guys, who are you? Ryan’s family has something abroad right now, there is no way to come back immediately, your brother and sisters, too” Scott really can’t think of anyone who can prepare a surprise gift for himself.
“Dad, don’t be in a hurry to guess yet, you’ll know later when this gift comes out.” Jocelyn deliberately sold out.
“Okay.” Scott nodded his agreement.
At this very moment, a few in-suit staff members carefully carried a white piano, to the middle of the stage, while a microphone was placed next to the piano.
Just as the crowd was wondering, they saw the two siblings, Madeline and Lawrence, coming from backstage.
Madeline wore one, wearing a turquoise suede embroidered gown, between flying needles and stitching, caressing the red and willow, outlining a tranquil lily of the valley on her body, with a sense of freshness and unpretentiousness.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Her hair tied up in pill, a small flesh-coloured fur ball on her head and a small peach blossom hairpin add a touch of playfulness and liveliness to her stunning face.
Then the young man wearing a dark blue suit, his features are as delicate as carvings, his dark eyes are like a pool of water making them invisible, and his thin lips are slightly curved with a hint of thinness.
The suit has no superfluous other designs and the embroidery is not impressive, it is more of an understated feeling, yet a breezy and superb aura is brought out by Lawrence himself.
“What a pretty girl, this must be Noah and Jocelyn’s daughter, right?”
“Just now I saw that Jocelyn is beautiful, it’s really still the power of genes.”
“The son of the Mason family is handsome, compared to his father Noah.”
The crowd sighed in exclamation.
“I thought these two kids went to tutoring?”
Seeing Madeline and Lawrence, Scott revealed a joyful expression, and the uncomfortable feeling he had before instantly disappeared.
“They made me say that on purpose, because they wanted to surprise you.” Jocelyn added as an aside.
“These two children are thoughtful.” Allie said.
Amidst a sea of awe, Madeline and Lawrence bowed slightly towards the audience.
“Hello everyone, my name is Madeline, and this is Lawrence, my grandfather is Scott.”
Madeline introduced herself and Lawrence first.
“Next, please enjoy our performance for our grandfather, the one we have prepared.”
With those words, Madeline stood at the microphone, while Lawrence sat at the piano.
In this moment, the two of them became the most visible beings in the room.
After waiting for a minute, Lawrence stretched out his fingers, nimbly jumping around the black and white keys to his heart’s content, his perfect side sketched out in a painting.
The lively sound of the piano is mesmerising.
After jamming to the rhythm, Madeline followed up by singing a song she had prepared in advance – ‘The Brightest Star in the Night Sky’.
At this point, her voice was like an oriole, and the afterglow was incessant. Everyone did not speak and listened to the song in silence.
It was as if everyone was lost in the song, unconsciously immersing themselves in the emotions of the song along with the moving melody.
Finally, after the last line was sung, the piano song came to an abrupt end and everyone felt as if they couldn’t get enough of it.
The moment was met with thunderous applause from the stage and the crowd was in awe –
“This is so awesome, I’ve never heard such a great song before, two people with such high face value and overwhelming talent, they’re practically natural idols.”
“I’m afraid that the singing of Madeline in particular is better than some of the mainstream pop songs of the day.”
“It’s just great, it’s not a waste of time to come to Master Scott’s birthday banquet today and hear such a great song.”
“Lawrence’s piano is a masterpiece. It’s like a hall of fame master. And the face of the siblings is a masterpiece.”
“Today, I’ve seen what a truly perfect performance really is, and suddenly I realized that those professional idols in the entertainment industry are overshadowed.”
All these appreciative voices were stopped into the ears of Scott.
He was proud to have his own grandchildren praised.
“Thank you all.” Madeline said sweetly.
It was the first time she had performed in front of so many people, and she watched the endless applause and the smiling faces of the crowd on stage.
After stepping down from the stage, the two people walked over to Scott.
“Happy birthday, Grandpa.” Madeline said in a bouncy, cute and lively manner.
Lawrence, on the other hand, nodded slightly, his tone appearing slightly flat, “Happy birthday, Grandpa.”
“Thank you, I’m just so happy that you two came to celebrate my birthday with me, I thought you wouldn’t be able to come this year.”
Scott laughed from ear to ear, tilting his head and letting out a hearty laugh.
Allie said with equal delight, “You two kids are so resourceful.”
“So do you like this gift, Grandpa?” Madeline blinked her big eyes and opened her mouth to ask.
Looking into those big, watery eyes, many people can’t resist.
“Of course I like it.” The two old people said in unison.
“As long as grandparents can like it, then anything my brother and I do is worth it.” Madeline said good-naturedly.
Although Lawrence was not verbal in front of his elders, nor was he as good-natured and pampered as Madeline, Lawrence nodded .
“It’s really not a waste of time to love you two kids.” Scott said with a smile.
“That’s for sure.” Madeline said.
