Everyone woke up late the next day.

It was close to noon, and Nancy didn't want to get out of bed until her stomach growled.

As soon as Nancy and Charlie got dressed, the doorbell rang.

"Who is it?"

Nancy, still jet-lagged, could barely tell whether it was morning or noon.

She put on her slippers and went to open the door. Before she could even see who it was, her wrist was grabbed.

"Nancy, my teacher is here. Come on. I'll take you there."

"What?!"

Caught off guard, Nancy was dragged away by Linda.

"Linda, slow down. I'm... I'm wearing slippers..."

"It's fine. My teacher is in my room..."

Their rooms were not far apart. As they spoke, Linda had already dragged Nancy to the door of her room.

They went inside, and Linda excitedly called out, "Mr. Hastings, I brought my good friend..."

Nancy stopped as she saw a man in his fifties standing in the room.

Although he was middle-aged, he took excellent care of himself. The unique artist's temperament made him look radiant. His deep brown eyes seemed to possess a magical power, deeply attracting Nancy's attention.

"Patrick?"

Seeing him, Nancy instantly became energetic. "Linda, your teacher is Patrick?"

Linda raised her chin proudly, crossing her hands behind her back. "Exactly. I told you yesterday that my teacher is amazing. Surprise!"

How could Nancy not be surprised?

Patrick Hastings may not have the same level of fame as Zach, but he was still a world-class piano master!

Nancy quickly straightened her clothes and walked up to Patrick in her slippers. Shy and nervous, she bowed slightly to Chris, "Mr. Hastings, I'm Nancy Swinton, Linda's friend. It's nice to meet you."

"Haha..."

Patrick smiled kindly and reached out to help Nancy up.

"Linda mentioned you before. She said you are a promising pianist in your country. You indeed have the temperament of a pianist."

"Hehe..."

Nancy smiled and suddenly remembered something. She took out her phone and was about to call Charlie when the doorbell rang.

Linda was overjoyed to see Patrick. She ran to the door and opened it excitedly. When she saw Charlie, Andrew, Vivian, and Alexander standing outside, she waved at them. "Come in, everyone."

After inviting them in, Linda happily skipped back inside.

Andrew, who was at the front, had been curious about Linda's teacher since yesterday. When Charlie knocked on his door and said that Linda's teacher had arrived, he immediately followed.

When he walked in and saw Patrick, he stopped in his tracks in disbelief.

Patrick saw him and also froze for a moment. They stood there staring at each other silently.

Nancy looked at Andrew. "Master?" Linda looked at Patrick. "Mr. Hastings?"

Andrew and Patrick finally moved. They simultaneously took steps toward each other and hugged each other tightly!
