Chapter 351 The Wedding Bells (Twelve)

• In comparison to the few individuals who paused to listen when Chadwick Fullner sang, there was always a crowd gathered around when Tina took the stage. Occasionally, a generous listener would drop five or ten dollars into the guitar case at her feet. As Tina sang, the audience fell into a hushed reverence, breaking into applause once she finished. Chadwick Fullner mused that this was the ultimate tribute to Tina's captivating voice.
• The duo performed until half past ten in the evening, noticing the thinning crowd before deciding to call it a night. As they packed up, they found the guitar case overflowing with money. Unlike their previous performances in the pedestrian walkway, where loose change filled the case, here they found bills of five, twenty, fifty, and even a few one hundred dollar notes. This location was unique - nestled in the upscale residential area of Millsborough, near the bustling commercial center, surrounded by towering office buildings and prestigious apartments. The central square served as a thoroughfare for the city's affluent, educated, and cultured denizens, particularly the younger crowd. Their appreciation for music, coupled with their financial means, explained the generous turnout and donations.
• Tina sat in the back of the pickup truck, counting the earnings, while Chadwick Fullner drove them home.
