Chapter 1972
...
It was also a busy day for Desmond.
After having lunch with Mia, he had two meetings with cooperators in the afternoon. After the business meal, the evening lights were already on.
He wanted to call Mia and ask her when she would be back.
However, she told him in advance that she would stay out a little late with her friend, so he restrained himself from calling her back.
The secretary sitting next to the driver saw the concert ads on the roadside and couldn't help saying, "Josiah has a concert in the stadium nearby tonight. It's his show after he came back. Lots of his fans have gathered there!"
Desmond, not very interested, didn't raise his eyebrows.
The secretary thought of something and continued, "Shall we go there in passing? Josiah has been involved in preparing for the concert. And I heard from his agent that he has been a little nervous recently. He always feels that you're going to fire him. After all, he is one of our company's popular stars. If you attend his concert, he will feel more secure."
Since he knew Mia wouldn't go back so early, he might as well find something to do.
He said, though a little reluctantly. "Okay."
The driver drove the car to the stadium.
The concert hadn't yet started, and the fans were going through the ticket barriers. The stadium was in an uproar.
Desmond and his secretary made a detour through the back door of the stadium, which was already full of fans. Most of them were girls. The cameras randomly swept across the fans and projected their images onto the giant LED screen to record the grand occasion.
Desmond was passing through the arena, intending to go backstage.
The secretary next to him suddenly called out in surprise, "Mrs. Chin?"
How could he said that everyday wherever they went?
Desmond frowned.
He followed his eyes and looked at the LED screen. There were two girls excitedly taking their seats. One of them was Mia, his beloved wife.
Desmond froze there.
Josiah hadn't held a concert for a long time, so a great many fans had arrived here to see his performance.
Mia and Lyle spent a long time checking the tickets and finding seats. After sitting down, both of them felt highly thrilled.
Lyle covered her mouth and screamed, "I'm so excited and nervous! I desperately want to throw myself into his arms and meow!"
Mia wanted to say that she felt the same, but someone popped up before her.
When she looked up, she saw Desmond staring at her with narrowed eyes. "You said that you'd go out for a meal and stroll around?"
Mia was dumbfounded. "Uh..."
She could make an excuse when she came across him at the airport, but she never imagined that he would see her at the concert.
Lyle, fully aware that Mia was terrible at lying, had to explain for her. "Well, After dinner, we went shopping but found it quite boring. Then we happened to meet someone selling the tickets to Josiah's concert tonight. So I brought her here to have a look!"
Could they buy VIP seats from someone selling tickets in the street?!
Desmond seriously doubted it.
But since she was Mia's best friend, he could not directly question her.
He looked at the bustling stadium and asked Mia, "You'll leave only when you finish it, right?"
"Yes." Mia nodded. So afraid that he would pull her away, she added, "The two tickets Lyle bought were very expensive. It's a waste of money if I quit!"
Desmond pursed his lips but didn't say anything.
Seeing that he did not object, Mia was relieved.
Desmond whispered a few words to the secretary, who then talked to the couple next to Mia. After that, the couple left with him.
He sat next to her.
Mia was surprised. "You're not leaving?"
"Mn." Desmond nodded.
Mia was stunned. She wanted to say something but swallowed it back in case that Desmond would change his mind and not let her see it.
The concert was about to begin.
Dozens of headlights spread across the stadium, making it as bright as day.
Then, Desmond saw Mia and Josiah bending over and taking some items from under their chairs: hairbands, small whistles, fluorescent sticks, and huge folding light boards read: "Hooray, elder brother! We're with you forever!"
...
Desmond was dumbfounded.
He always felt bad about these things.
The light on the stage first dimmed. A ray of red light suddenly appeared in the middle of the stage in the darkness, and a man gradually emerged in the light.
On the round lifting platform, Josiah stood in front of the microphone.
He began to sing without music.
He was wearing a white shirt and black jeans, holding a guitar.
His face was magnified several times on the five big screens connected behind him. Thus, even the fans in the far corners could see their idol clearly.
Before the guitar could sound, screams rang out one after another.
In an instant, all the people in the stadium shouted his name, and the sounds to support him almost blew up the whole stadium. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"Brother, I love you..."
"Honey, you're the most handsome..."
"Josiah, the best man in the world!"
Waves upon waves of the fan's screams washed over. As they held up their specially-made light boards high, the frenetic atmosphere in the stadium reached its peak.
Lyle had already shouted like crazy with other fans.
Mia also wanted to cheer for her idol, but she resisted her urge to do so for Desmond was sitting beside her.
After Josiah sang a song, he started his hot dances while singing.
He changed his clothes in less than two minutes and began singing and dancing along with the music. Every dance movement showed explosive power.
When Josiah made a sexy dance move on the stage, the fans responded with fanatic screams. Affected by the fiery atmosphere, Mia couldn't help jumping up from her seat and calling out, "AHHHH! BROTHER! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!"
Desmond fell into a sullen silence.
Next, he began singing his fifth song while dancing.
Mia shouted with her hands cupped like a megaphone and shouted excitedly along with others, "Boohoo, my super husband! Crazy about you!"
Desmond found himself unable to speak.
He was very unhappy and depressed.
At this moment, he was certain that he was jealous.
Not only did he want to cover his ears, but he also wanted to cover Mia's mouth.
The concert lasted for two and a half hours.
He was exhausted.
The fans poured out of the stadium, excitedly discussing the concert.
"Super awesome! Elder brother's last solo dance alone was a real blast!"
"When my sweetheart threw the microphone stand away, my voice was broken, and just couldn't wave my hand more violently!"
"I'm desperately in love with him. I can love him for another 10,000 years!"
...
In the past, Mia would also join them and talk about how excited she was..
However, neither she nor Mia dared to make a sound because they had seen Desmond's furious glare.
By the time the concert ended, Desmond finally realized what was going on. He asked word by word with a dark face, "Mia, you didn't come here to accompany me on my business trip. You're here for the concert, right?"
Mia found it so hard to admit it.
She asked in embarrassment, "Can I lie?"
Desmond gritted his teeth. "No!"
Mia had no choice but to admit it. "Okay... Yes, you're right."
Hearing the truth, Desmond was heartbroken.
He found him in a gloomy, downbeat mood after a joyful day.
To be honest, he was very frustrated.
