Half an hour later, Sylvia arrived at a pedestrian street near the Art Academy.The street architecture and installations exuded a vintage and scholarly feel. Various stores were interspersed with the galleries and several small art stores, among which were two sculpting studios.Sylvia went in for a stroll.Some of the carvings were not very skillful, but they had a distinct design. Sylvia bought two trinkets to carry in her hand and then continued to stroll inside.Unknowingly, she reached the end of the street and entered an open painting exhibition.In front of her was a moderately-sized square filled with paintings of all kinds.Sylvia was confused for a moment, but her steps did not stop as she walked toward the paintings.Some of the paintings were mature, some were childish, some were introspective, and some were cheerful and with a lot of personalities. It did not seem like they were the work of students of the Art Academy. Instead, they looked like they were painted by
The smile was polite and graceful, but it was also condescending.Sylvia felt awkward, so she did not look at the woman and continued to look at Simon instead.Simon also looked her up and down. "Sylvia, why do I feel that something's different about you this time?"Sylvia pursed her lips and was just about to say that she lost her memory when an unpleasant female voice rang out. "Ms. Ross, even if we had some misunderstandings before, you don't have to ignore me, do you?"Lily's expression still maintained its politeness and elegance, but her gaze was cold and contemptuous.The air instantly fell silent.Simon's expression changed, and everyone else was quiet.Sylvia paused and looked at her. "Do we know each other?"The atmosphere froze in an instant.Lily turned ashen. "Sylvia, do you think you can act all high-and-mighty now that you have Master Carter to protect you?"'How dare she talk to me like this in public?! Act high-and-mighty?' Sylvia asked directly, "Do you know
Sylvia ran all the way out of the street.Jacob had been following her from the shadows. When she started to run, he went after her and caught up with her when she finally stopped.He asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Madam? Did you meet someone who wants to harm you?"Sylvia panted from exhaustion. "N.-no.""Then, why are you running?""I met a group of difficult people." Thinking of the young woman who led the group in heckling her earlier, she looked at Jacob and asked, "Do you know who the people who just talked to me were?""I know a few. Except for Ms. Springsteen, the others should be from the Westchester Art Association."'The Art Association? So, the man who was warm and cordial to me earlier was my good friend Simon Foster? As for Ms. Springsteen...'She asked, "Is Ms. Springsteen the woman who stood in front and talked to me?"Jacob responded, "Yes."Sylvia frowned. 'No wonder she was acting strangely toward me. She's Lily Springsteen, the eldest daughter of the Spri
"Then, I came back."Odell smiled and pinched her face, asking, "Why did you suddenly go to see a painting exhibition this afternoon?"Sylvia's eyes flickered. "It's boring just being at home."Odell pursed his lips silently.She looked up at him with glowing eyes. "Can you open the door on the third floor?""Do you want to continue carving?" He looked at her with a sharp gaze.Sylvia hurriedly avoided his sight and said, "I want to paint.""Do you really just want to paint?"She continued to avoid his eyes and hummed.Odell smiled. "Sure. I'll open it tomorrow morning before I leave.""Okay."...The next morning, after Odell left for work, Sylvia arrived on the third floor. She raised her hand and pressed on the door handle.Creak.The door of the room was pushed open.Her eyes lit up and she immediately walked in, going past the painting area to the carving section.After walking to that side, the light in her eyes instantly dimmed.There was not a single carving to
The door to the third floor was open.As soon as he entered, he saw the small painting on the easel.No, to be precise, it was two small circles that seemed to be randomly painted. The rest of it was blank.The brushes were also casually put away, and the paint was not used at all. The surrounding ground was also clean.It was not hard to figure out that she had only stayed here for a short time before leaving.'She still can't paint?'He was silent for a while, turned around, and walked out....Sylvia was woken up by Flint. He did not cry when he woke up, but he kept pressing his head against Sylvia, his little face particularly cute.Sylvia kissed him and carried him to the living room.In the living room, Odell was sitting on the sofa, reading the newspaper. Isabel was snuggled up to him, watching a show with the phone in her hand. Liam was sitting on the other side, reading a book.Aunt Tonya and Sebastian were both outside, and the atmosphere was quiet.Then, Isabel n
"When will you learn it?""It'll take a few months at the earliest."Odell frowned and said coldly, "Come back in a month.""Master Carter, you must be kidding. The sorcerer himself took years to learn this. I'm just an ordinary person, not a god—""Come back within a month and I'll triple your reward.""Okay, I'll get up and learn now. I'll be back within a month!"Odell hung up the phone and exhaled another breath of smoke. Then, he extinguished the cigarette and threw it out of the window....The weather had turned cooler, and the temperature was much lower than before.Sylvia did not coop herself up at home anymore. Thinking that the two little ones would start school soon, she took them out every day for the next few days to play. They went to the amusement park, watched movies, and played games.Isabel was overjoyed, and Liam was also quite happy. Flint could only sit in the stroller and watch as they played.Soon, it was the day for the two children to start school.
He kissed her.His thin lips clung intimately to hers. It was forceful but also very gentle all at once.Sylvia did not expect him to suddenly kiss her and was so shocked that her eyes widened.Jacob was still driving in front, and Flint was still in her arms! What was wrong with this man?After a while, seeing that he still had no intention to let her go, Sylvia could only reach up and scratch him.Only then did Odell let her go. His dark eyes stared at her face like a hawk, with a strong sense of oppression.Sylvia wanted to glare at him, but she did not even dare to make eye contact with him. With a blush, she looked at Flint and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"'Why did you suddenly kiss me?'Odell looked at her shy appearance and gentle tone as if she was a young maiden, and his eyes instantly darkened.If it were before she lost her memory, she might have blushed as well, but she would have glared at him and punched him directly instead of asking him what was
He lay beside Madam Carter with his butt sticking up, raising his head to look at Sylvia. His eyes were wide and shiny.Sylvia thought she heard wrong and asked softly, "Flint, did you just say something?"Flint went, "Mama..."His childish voice was crisp and sweet.At that moment, Sylvia felt like her entire body was filled with honey. It was such a sweet sound to hear!"Oh!" she exclaimed loudly.Flint opened his mouth and giggled.Sylvia also could not help but laugh. Then, she said to Madam Carter, "Grandma, did you hear that? Flint is learning how to speak."She pulled Flint into her arms and pointed to Madam Carter, saying, "Flint, that's your great-grandma. Why don't you try calling her?"Flint blinked, seemingly not knowing where to start.Sylvia taught him. "Great-grandma."Flint continued to blink."Great-grandma."After an unknown amount of time, just when Sylvia was about to wear out her lips, Flint finally said, "Nana..."Sylvia laughed. "Nana works too."I
