The girl couldn't believe of what she heard. They had talked before about their goals and priorities in life. She couldn't believe that her friend had pursued his passion for music. There had been many changes between them since they graduated from college.

273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc1MoBOLWl
"I realized I love music, so I still want to pursue it even though that wasn't my major in college. Music is life for me," Denzel explained again.

273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa9ZQ98Nfn
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnq7Ur2Eso
There was annoyance in Katherine's voice as Gabriel kept asking her personal questions. She had to hold back because she didn't want her grandfather to scold her.

Agreeing to Katherine's plan for outing was the good favor to do. He also felt bored then because he was almost confined to the mansion and couldn't go out anywhere. He did nothing but monitor Katherine's every move in her room and keep an eye on her wherever she went because that was his job.

He was only doing this now to accommodate Katherine, and after that, there would be nothing more. He didn't need to give in to pity and sympathy because it would only lead to failure in helping his family. The income he earned from this job was much greater than his previous which was more difficult and also put his life at risk.
