Chapter 37

Jack was immersed in the guitar melody, his eyes closed as his fingers danced across the strings. A light breeze lifted the hem of his shirt, and his natural elegance exuded a captivating allure. As the song ended, Jack set the guitar down and finally noticed Bella standing in the dormitory, her eyes wide with astonishment. He was momentarily taken aback but quickly regained his composure. Luca was equally surprised, but he picked up his guitar and said to Jack, "Thanks for the performance. I'm going to reflect on it." Inspired by Jack's playing, Luca felt as though he had uncovered new creative ideas. He needed time to process them. Bella snapped back to reality. After Luca left, she tried her best to calm down. She walked over to the window, feigning nonchalance. "Are you learning guitar from Luca?" Jack shrugged. "Did you need something?" He didn't care what Bella thought of him. If she assumed he was learning, so be it. It didn't matter. His indifference made Bella seethe.
