Chapter 60
That was, until Marie,
She was auctioning off a dance.
Like Elsa’s song, Marie’s dance was also sold to David at five million.
This was how David was, he was the kind of person that would repay kindness others had shown him
tenfold.
Those two had helped his cousin Lily tonight, so it was only right that he offered a higher price to buy
their performances.
Soon later.
The auction event was about to end.
After the last item of love had been auctioned off, the banquet was about to end as well.
Just then, David raised his card and spoke.
“Ms. Rice, I’d like to donate a song!”
Ida was about to read the closing speech when she saw David offer to donate a song.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDavid had spent ten million at the auction today, so it would not be right to refuse him.
Ida allowed David to come up on stage.
“Mr. Lidell wishes to donate a song, is anyone willing to buy it?” Ida asked.
“Uh… I’d like to buy it myself if that’s alright?” David asked.
“You want to buy your own song?”
“Yes!”
“Of course. Since Mr. Lidell wants to buy his song back, then let’s listen to Mr. Lidell sing! Mr. Lidell, how
much are you calling?”
“One hundred million!”
“H-How much?” Ida stuttered.
“I’m offering one hundred million to buy my song!”
Ida was stunned, and so were the hundreds of guests sitting below the stage. Excluding Hugh and Andy,
everyone was shocked by what they heard.
“Buying your own song for a hundred million?
‘Isn’t he essentially just donating another hundred million?
‘We’ve never heard anything about this David in Lake City before!
‘Not only is he close friends with Mr. Lewis and Mr. Greene, he also just donated a hundred million.
‘There are no bounds to how wealthy this man is.’
David walked over to the piano and sat down.
“The song i’m singing tonight is called Snail. With it, I hope that the children in the video can only find
their own place in the world.”
With that, David started to sing.
A slow melody drifted from the piano.
“Should I take off my heavy shell,
“And search for the blue sky.
“The gentle wind blows as I dance softly in the skies,
“The hurt I experienced before feels like nothing no more.
“Step by step, I make my way up,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“And await quietly to watch the sun shine.
“A sky so small holds a dream so big.
“A slight desire hides in a heavy shell.
“Step by step, I make my way up,
“And on the highest point, I soar through the skies on a leaf.
“A sky so small holds past sweat and tears.
“There will be a place for me.”
The song was finished.
Thunderous applause erupted below the stage.
The children in the video were just like the snail in David’s song, how they wanted to experience the
world outside and find a place for themselves in the world.
“Mr. Lidell, did you produce this song?” Someone from the audience below asked.
“I did,” David replied.
“You’re so talented, Mr. Lidell! So handsome!”
Marie looked fondly at David, who was on the stage. This was the man she admired.
Elsa looked at David with shock as well. He was not like other men.
