Chapter 1699

Carter handed an A4 sheet of paper to Skyler with a casual flick of his wrist. “Take a look at this.”

Skyler took the sheet, and then Carter’s voice followed, “A TV series has approached me to be the music director.

Here are a few lyrics. Can you compose music for them?”

Glancing down, Skyler saw just a few lines without any specified scene, leaving her unsure of the desired emotion.

“Which show is it?”

Carter replied, “It’s still in post-production. Haven’t seen the footage myself. But it’s adapted from a , if you’ve

got the time you might wanna check out the original book.”

Skyler nodded, “Sure thing.”

Stepping out of Carter’s music studio, she looked up at the sky. Winter had its grip on the Capital, the biting wind

slicing across her face like a knife. The weather forecast promised heavy snow tonight, and it seemed to be closing

in quickly.

Picking up her pace toward the subway station, Skyler aimed to catch a train back to campus. But barely a few

steps out, she heard her roommate Amanda calling out, “Skyler, what are you doing here?”e2

She turned and saw Amanda waving. “Came for a gig. What about you?”

Amanda gestured to the middle-aged couple by her side. “This is my mom and dad. They thought the Capital’s too

cold and worried I might freeze, so they came to see me. Mom, Dad, this is my roommate Skyler, the one I’m

always telling you about.” Skyler greeted them, “Hi.”

The couple, Dominic and Tracey, smiled warmly. “Hey there, Skyler. Our Amanda never stops talking about how

good you’ve been to her. Thanks for looking after her.”

Skyler shrugged off their thanks. “We’re all here to help each other. Don’t mention it.”

Amanda hooked her arm around Skyler’s. “You got plans this afternoon?”

Skyler shook her head. “Nope.”

“Perfect, then you’ll join us for dinner. Can’t pass up a family feast.”

Skyler hesitated, “You guys should spend some quality time together. I don’t want to intrude.”

“Nonsense,” Amanda insisted. “They’re here for a whole week. And they’ve asked to treat you and Emma to dinner.

I’ve already told Emma, so you can’t bail on us.”

Before Skyler could protest further, Tracey chimed in, “Skyler, Amanda was our little girl, never left our side before

heading to the Capital for college. She was all alone, in a strange place, and without you and your friends, she’d

probably be homesick all the time. We just want to show our gratitude with a nice meal, so please, don’t say no.”

Given Tracey’s heartfelt words, Skyler found it impossible to refuse.

To make it convenient for their return to campus, Amanda’s family chose a well-known restaurant nearby.

At the dinner table, Dominic and Tracey were the epitome of hospitality, particularly towards Skyler and Emma, but

their primary concern was for Amanda.

Amanda had a soft spot for shrimp, but found them a hassle to peel. “You’re such a princess, still can’t peel your

own shrimp,” Dominic teased as he peeled them one by one into Amanda’s bowl. “What are you going to do when

you get married and want shrimp but there’s nobody to peel them for you?”

“Why would I need to get married when I have you and Mom to spoil me?” Amanda retorted playfully, popping a

shrimp into her mouth. “Dad, it’s delicious.”

Tracey wiped her daughter’s mouth with a napkin. “If you don’t want to get married, that’s fine by us.”

“Really?” Amanda’s eyes lit up.

“Yep,” Tracey smiled. “Your father and I will just have to work a bit harder, save up some more money, and we can

always find you a son-in-law to come live with us. That way, you’ll never have to leave and be mistreated

elsewhere.”
