Chapter 216 - The Best Day Of His Life (1/2)

During the entire train ride, Trisha had thought that they were still in Germany. Who knew they had already arrived in Austria?!

Trisha gasped in amazement as they stepped out of the train station. Even when she lived in London for a few years, she never got the chance to explore Europe, who knew she'd end up crossing so many borders on this mission: France, Belgium, Germany, and now, Austria.

Oliver quickly flagged down a taxi and asked the driver to take them into the old town. ”Don't be too amazed yet. Wait until you see the old town,” he said to Trisha as she looked out the window of the taxi.

The old town wasn't too far from the main train station. In less than 10 minutes, the taxi dropped them off in front of an archway and pointed inside. Oliver had done his research and knew roughly what to expect, but he had never been to Salzburg either, so this trip was quite exciting for him too.

He grabbed onto Trisha's hand and they started walking in the direction that the taxi driver had pointed.

As they stepped in, it felt like they were transported back in time. It was amazing. Baroque buildings lined the two sides and seemed to lead into a labyrinth of streets.

But, one particular building caught their eyes. Right in front of them, at a T-junction was a bright golden building that stood out from the other buildings around it. Just below the building, people were standing around taking photos of it.

”What's that place?” Trisha asked in curiosity.

Oliver smiled.

Back when Trisha was helping him write his story about Chinatown, they often met at one particular place: a cafe in Trafalgar Square, right outside the National Gallery.

Every time they met up, there would be one particular street performer that played a piano in the square. Whenever he started playing, Trisha would fall silent and listen in awe to one particular song. ”My mother was a pianist and this used to be my favorite piece: 'Piano Sonata No. 16 in C Major' by Mozart. Her dream was to master all of Mozart's piano sonatas, but I always made her play this particular one for me. It's amazing, isn't it? I don't follow modern music or any k-pop idols. My idol is Mozart. If he was still alive today, it would be a dream to see him perform,” Trisha said with a twinkle in her eye.

Trisha had always been tough, sassy, and brave in front of Oliver, but that was the first time he saw a soft and sensitive side to her and it made him like her even more.

He remembered how important that song meant to her, so when he heard about Salzburg in a doc.u.mentary one day, he kept it in the back of his mind to take her there one day.

Why Salzburg?

As Oliver looked up at the golden building in front of them, he let go of Trisha's hand and wrapped his arm around her waist. ”This is the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus...Mozart.”

Trisha looked up at the building and opened her mouth in amazement. She then looked at Oliver with a slightly moved expression. She had merely mentioned it to him once that she idolized Mozart and he actually brought her to his birthplace. How long had this man been taking her words into so much consideration?

”You remembered...” Trisha said.

Oliver nodded his head, ”I remember everything you say.”

At that moment, he spotted a street performer with a keyboard who was just setting up.

”Let me prove it to you,” he said as he dragged Trisha towards the performer.
