However, she has some talent and learns quite quickly.
The teacher who taught her sketching was quite regretful at the time. He said that if she had started drawing since childhood, her achievements now might have been much higher.
For Valda herself, it’s not actually that regrettable.
She just likes to draw, so whether she succeeds or not, she hasn’t really thought about it. She feels that if she can make a living doing what she loves, then that’s a really good thing.
And when she finishes a piece of work, she feels a sense of satisfaction.
This sense of fulfillment is actually more important to her than achievement, in her opinion.
At this moment, while Valda was drawing, she suddenly said,
“Brian, could you please unbutton two buttons on your collar? It doesn’t feel casual enough right now.”
Brian heard Valda’s words and looked up at her. Then he raised his hand and began to unbutton the top two buttons of his collar.
“Like this?” he asked.
His graceful movements, combined with his handsome face, created an indescribably charming scene.
Valda’s heart suddenly started beating faster.
AM
Sometimes, falling in love is just like that. It could be because of a certain look, or maybe a certain gesture.
Valda realized that she was really too easily swayed by her dear husband’s advances.
“Oh? Are you done?” His voice sounded again.
“Huh?” She suddenly snapped out of her daze and realized that she had been staring at him just now.
At this moment, he had unbuttoned two buttons of his collar, revealing his beautiful collarbone. However… it seemed like she wanted to see more.
She swallowed her saliva and thought for a moment before saying, “How about unbuttoning one more button?”
Brian raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything. As Valda wished, he unbuttoned another button.
Valda looked down again and felt like she wanted to see more.
“Can you undo one more button?” she asked.
“Do you want me to untie it?” His eyes flickered slightly.
“Yes, remove one more, the casual feeling in the picture will be stronger,” she explained her reasoning.
“Do I need to undo all of them?” he asked calmly.
Her face turned slightly red, “No, it’s not necessary. If you could just undo two more buttons, I think that would be enough.”
So, as she wished, he undid two more buttons.
“Is this good? Are you satisfied?” he asked.
“…I’m satisfied,” her face turned even redder.
He looked at her blushing face and couldn’t help but smile.
His Valda was sometimes contradictory. She was the one who asked him to undo the buttons, but now she was too embarrassed and blushing.
But at the same time, she couldn’t help but look at him with her eyes, making it hard for him to focus on his work.
Didn’t she know how attractive she looked right now?
Brian stood up and walked over to Valda. “Don’t look at me like that, I won’t be able to resist.”
Boom!
Valda’s face suddenly turned several shades of red.
“I…I didn’t make any particular expression,” she stuttered, to indicate that she really didn’t intentionally seduce him.
“You being like this now is a test for me,” he said. “If you really want me to dress more revealingly, then don’t pick on me when
I’m working, okay? That way, you can draw me however you want, even if it means sacrificing myself for art.”
His words Immediately set her mind racing with thoughts.
Does she really want to dedicate herself to art…? “You… You’re not asking me to draw you in your most unadorned state, are you?”
She used a more artistic expression.
“As long as you want to draw, there’s nothing you can’t do,” he said.
Valda feels like he’s about to have a nosebleed just thinking about it. He has an amazing physique –
broad shoulders, narrow waist, long and lean legs, with just the right amount of muscle without being too exaggerated. If she were to draw him completely and accurately…
Stop, stop, we can’t keep thinking about this.
If we keep going, she probably won’t be able to sleep tonight.
“Never mind,” Valda thought for a moment, “if I paint it, I won’t be able to bear to destroy it, but if I keep it, I don’t want to risk someone seeing it one day. Anyway, your body can only be seen completely by me.”
At this moment, she said this sentence with some rare dominance.
But he actually liked her dominance.
“Okay, only you can see it,” he said.
So, after Brian kissed Valda, he returned to his seat to work.
However, at this moment, he had unbuttoned several buttons and almost half of his chest was exposed.
Brian could only be grateful that there were no video conferences or anything tonight, otherwise he would probably cause a stir again.
Valda was drawing with great enthusiasm and finally finished after more than an hour.
She was quite satisfied with her finished drawing.
She yawned and put away her writing tools.
“Feeling tired?” Brian asked.
“Yeah, a little bit,” she replied.
“Then you should go to bed first,” he said.
“What about you?” she asked.
“I still have some work to do,” he said.
“How about I keep you company?” she suggested.
“You’re so sweet, but you should go to bed. Pregnant women shouldn’t stay up late,” he said. “Once I’m done, I’ll come back to our room. If you stay up with me, I’ll be too worried to focus on my work.”
“Okay, then hurry up and finish your work. Come back to our room soon,” she grumbled.
“Got it,” he said. He walked her back to their room before returning to his study.
In the study, the sketch she just drew is still on the easel.
He walked up to her and looked at the image of himself she had drawn.
Gentle and graceful, with a slight smile on her lips, she sits casually in a chair, holding a pen in one hand and propping her chin up with the other, her gaze directed towards the artist.
In those eyes, there is a full depth of affection.
This is him in her eyes, someone who deeply loves her.
And from her painting, he also saw how much she loved him.
He carefully took the painting down from the shelf and put it away.
Every drawing she makes of him, he keeps it carefully. As long as she wants, he can let her keep drawing him until they both grow old with white hair.
And these paintings will bear witness to their love before.
On the night of New Year’s Eve, Valda brought Lisa to the villa where Brian and Valda live. Brian’s parents also came, and the two families celebrated the new year together at the villa.
During the meal, Mr. and Mrs. Hart, who are elderly, took the initiative to toast Lisa. To them, Lisa’s act of saving Valda was not just about saving Valda’s life, but also about saving their own son’s life and the entire Hart family.
So they have always respected Lisa very much.
Outside, there are also people who mock the Hart family’s relative as an uneducated rural old lady.
However, every time the elderly Mr. and Mrs. Hart would go to great lengths to defend Lisa’s reputation, even confronting others directly. Over time, although there may have been gossip behind her back in high society circles, no one dared to speak ill of Lisa to her face.
Lisa naturally doesn’t know any of these things.
Since arriving in Emerald City, she spends most of her days staying in the house that Valda bought for her, and occasionally taking a stroll around the neighborhood.
Normally, Valda comes to visit her, and sometimes young people from their village who work in Emerald City come to visit her after finding out where she lives.
However, Lisa is very clear in her heart. She knows that these people who come to visit her are only trying to establish a relationship with her goddaughter. So, she avoids them if she can, and if she can’t, she just laughs it off.
At this moment, as Lisa looked at the harmonious scene, she also had many emotions in her heart.
Once, she thought she would live a lonely life and die in her rundown house, perhaps someone kind in the village would wrap her in a mat and bury her in a hole, and that would be it.
But she never imagined that her life would undergo such a drastic change as it has now.
Lisa smiled and raised her glass, returning the toast to her in-laws.
Although she’s not much of a drinker, she still has to drink this alcohol.
After finishing their meal, the family gathered around the large TV
screen in the living room to watch the New Year Gala. Valda was used to watching it every year, so they all decided to join in.
