NovelXXXChapter 599:
Elyse pondered Gavin's last words carefully. Noticing Elyse lost in thought once again, Gavin sighed softly. She
excelled in every way but tended to overthink things.
He reached out, gently touching her head. “I'm heading out now. Take care and get srest.”
Leaving the ward, Gavin made his way to Jayden’s ward. Irving was waiting at the door. Instead of rushing in,
Gavin sat down on a chair, patiently waiting for the conversation inside to conclude.
An hour later, Cody emerged from the room. Showing no particular expression, he turned to Gavin and said,
“Let's head back to the studio. On the way, fillin on Fiona.”

Irving intended to join them, but Cody frowned and remarked, “Elyse is alone in the ward. Stay here with her a
little longer. She needs someone after everything she’s been through.”
Acknowledging Cody's suggestion, Irving nodded and stayed behind.
Gavin accompanied Cody to the parking lot, discussing Fiona’s recent performance and their conversation
earlier.

Cody frowned deeply upon hearing this. After a lengthy silence, he sighed and said, “Thanks, Gavin. It must be
quite challenging these days, but you managed everything quite well.”
Gavin was caught off guard by the praise and chuckled modestly. “It’s a bit challenging. Elyse, Irving, and Fiona
have their own personalities, so conflicts are inevitable, but | manage to keep things going.”
Cody nodded understandingly. “You've put in a lot of effort.”
They soon arrived at Blue Sea Music Studio.
As they got out of the car, Gavin moved to follow Cody inside but was gently turned away.
“You had a spat with Fiona. She probably doesn’t want to see you just yet. I'll go talk to her,” Cody explained.
Gavin paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
After entering the studio, Cody found Fiona lounging on the sofa, engrossed in painting her nails instead of
practicing the violin.
She was so absorbed that she didn’t even notice Cody coming in. Only when Cody sat down next to her did she
suddenly lift her head, startled. Upon seeing Cody, she quickly set down the nail brush in a flustered manner.
Cody watched as Fiona hurriedly tried to clean up the nail polish on the table. In her rush, she accidentally
knocked over two bottles, causing their contents to spill out.
As Fiona tried to clean up, the table only becmessier. Her face flushed with embarrassment, she lowered her
gaze and avoided meeting Cody's eyes altogether.
After a few moments, Fiona managed to finish tidying up, her cheeks still flushed. She nervously tucked her
hands behind her back and stammered, “M-Mr. Tucker.”
Observing Fiona’s expression, Cody noticed her apprehension.
Glancing at the discarded nail polish bottles, he asked, “So, you enjoy painting your nails?”
Fiona hesitated briefly before softly replying, “No, | just wanted to see how it looked. | usually remove it when |
play the violin.”
Although Cody wasn’t well-versed in manicure matters, he understood that many girls enjoyed such beautifying
rituals. However, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.
He studied Fiona for a while, sensing her discomfort, before gently asking, “I remember you used to focus solely
on the violin and weren't into nail polish or hair styling. What sparked your interest in manicures all of a
sudden?”
Fiona felt extremely nervous as Cody's question hit her. She feared he might uncover something she desperately
wanted to keep hidden. But fate had other plans for her.

Looking directly at her, Cody asked, “Got a crush, huh? When I saw you today, you seemed more beautiful than
usual. You're all dolled up.”
Fiona felt her palms grow clammy with nerves. She dreaded the idea of someone suspecting her feelings for
Jayden, who happened to be Elyse’s husband.
She managed an awkward smile. “Mr. Tucker, why do you say that? I've never really considered relationships. I'm
quite content on my own.”
Cody nodded knowingly. “Alright, | get it. You don’t have to spill the beans. It's a good thing to have someone you
fancy. Love can lift your spirits and bring happiness. | hope you find that.”
Fiona remained silent, too afraid to respond, and listened as Cody continued.
“I don’t mind you dating or even wearing nail polish,” Cody added casually, “as long as you keep up with your
violin practice.”
Fiona was taken aback by his unexpected remarks, feeling touched by his words.
Cody continued, “But you've been harsh with other fellows lately. They genuinely care about you. Maybe it’s time
to have a chat with them and apologize.”
“Alright, I will,” Fiona replied reluctantly, though inwardly she felt disdainful. She believed they didn't deserve her
apology.
