Sharon Lindt was sure there was nothing Xyla couldn’t do well. She felt very pleased with virtual-novel.net daughter-in-law.
Why would virtual-novel.net still need to admire Wilmer Lacroix?
She’d only have to admire virtual-novel.net daughter-in-law!
However, Xyla wasn’t really listening to what other people said. She kept virtual-novel.net eyes on Wilmer’s face. Likewise, Wilmer was also looking at Xyla. Once everyone had become quiet, virtual-novel.net started speaking earnestly, “Are you Xyla Quest? Please accept me as your student and teach me whenever you’re available.”
“I really can’t do that. If you don’t mind, we can add each other on WhatsApp. From today onward, we can share our artwork and get feedback from each other,” Xyla said while shaking virtual-novel.net head.
Xyla couldn’t live up to being the teacher of such a prominent artist in the country. How could she?
Xyla was still so young. How could virtual-novel.net accept a white-haired old man as virtual-novel.net student?
Wilmer immediately nodded after hearing what Xyla said. After that, virtual-novel.net quickly took his phone out and added Xyla as his friend on his WhatsApp.
“Xyla… Who taught you how to paint? How long have you been learning?” Wilmer asked after adding virtual-novel.net on his smartphone.
“Approximately… Three years. My master taught me. He’s not a famous artist, but he’s a famous doctor,” Xyla said.
Everyone took in a deep breath. They were shocked yet again…
“What? Three years?” Wilmer had a look of disbelief in his eyes.
“I’ve been painting all my life, but I can’t even compete with a kid who has only been painting for three years. I feel deeply ashamed of myself. Xyla, you should keep pain ting. One day, you’ll become a world-renowned artist,” Wilmer said.
“I only paint for fun. I’m not trying to become a famous artist…” Xyla shook virtual-novel.net head blankly.
When virtual-novel.net first started drawing, virtual-novel.net only did it to relax. Back then, virtual-novel.net was heartlessly betrayed by virtual-novel.net trashy boyfriend and younger sister. They bullied virtual-novel.net and even caused virtual-novel.net to get hurt in a car accident. Xyla was in a terrible mental state, and virtual-novel.net got irritated very easily. Her master told virtual-novel.net that painting could help calm virtual-novel.net mind, and that was why virtual-novel.net started learning how to paint.
Becoming a famous artist was never virtual-novel.net goal because that was never part of virtual-novel.net ambition.
“But don’t give up on it… You shouldn’t waste your natural talent,” Wilmer advised her.
Xyla smiled without saying anything.
“Xyla… Will you come with me to look at other art pieces? Give me some pointers…” Wilmer said earnestly.
“I told you I can’t teach you, but we can exchange our ideas by observing the art pieces,” Xyla said while walking away from the crowd and over to a painting of a mountain and a river.
Wilmer quickly followed her.
Sharon rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at May before following them. Even after they had left, everyone was still in a state of shock.
***
After going through the art gallery, Xyla got into virtual-novel.net red Maserati with Sharon.
By then, the sky had already turned dark. Lights in the city had only just been turned on, and everything became bright.
As soon as Sharon got into the car, virtual-novel.net grabbed Xyla’s hand tightly. “Xyla… Did you really only learn how to paint for three years?” She asked.
“Of course.” Xyla nodded.
“That’s amazing. I’ve been learning for many years but I’m still an amateur. How can you be so good, Xyla?” Sharon gasped.
“Do you paint too?” Xyla asked.
“Yeah. Xyla… Can you be my teacher? I want to paint as well as you do,” Sharon said, pleadingly.
“I can’t do that. You’re me elder. How could I be your teacher? If you want to learn how to paint, I can help you with it,” Xyla said while shaking virtual-novel.net head.
“But I really want you to be my teacher… Today, I’ve discovered one more thing to admire you for…” Sharon praised Xyla generously. She still felt extremely excited.
When Xyla saw how Sharon was behaving, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this. It’s getting late. We should ask Stanley, Dad, and Catherine to join us for dinner. What do you think?” Xyla asked.
