Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Hubert was amused by his own thoughts. He smiled and said, “Right, right, right. Look, Teacher is so happy that I’ve become silly.”
Amelia smiled and quickly comforted him. “It’s alright. Sometimes, Mia can’t remember things and I feel like my head has gone silly too.”
When Hubert heard this, he liked Amelia even more.
Evelyn stood at the side and felt that Amelia was stealing her limelight. She was a little unhappy. Evelyn’s mother also secretly cursed her luck. When she saw Amelia holding a few paintings in her arms, she was even more speechless. Did she really think that she could perform in front of Fellow Lawrence just because of the Walton family? Did she think that Fellow Lawrence would accept anyone?
Old Master Walton smiled and greeted Fellow Lawrence. “Old friend, why don’t you sit on the second floor for a while?”
Hubert could not wait to see Amelia’s other paintings. He nodded repeatedly. “Okay, okay, okay.”
Evelyn was stunned. If Fellow Lawrence left, what should she do? Didn’t he want to take her in as his disciple? Evelyn clenched her sleeves and said anxiously, “Grandpa Lawrence, what about me?
Hubert was surprised for a moment, then said perfunctorily, “You’re also very obedient. Be good. Grandpa Lawrence still has something to do.”
Hence, the Walton family brought Hubert to the second floor. Evelyn’s mother was dumbfounded. Evelyn was also dumbfounded. Evelyn’s mother was furious, but no matter how angry she was, she had to endure it! Gold would always shine. The Walton family had a powerful background, but what kind of person was Fellow Lawrence? He could not be hired as a teacher just because they were rich and powerful! If the Walton family wanted to use money to move Fellow Lawrence, they were simply asking for humiliation!
Evelyn’s mother comforted her, “Evelyn, be good. Sit down and wait for a while.” The mother and daughter did not expect that they would wait for a long time…
In the study on the second floor of the Walton family, Amelia sat upright on the sofa and secretly glanced at Hubert from time to time.
Old Master Walton said, “Mia, this is the most powerful master in our country’s painting field. Call him Teacher.”
Amelia called out obediently again, “Teacher Lawrence.”
Hubert liked the obedient Amelia from the bottom of his heart. He lowered his voice and asked, “Baby Mia, did you paint these paintings?
Amelia nodded. “Yes!”
Hubert: “Then can Mia introduce these paintings to me?
At the mention of painting, Amelia’s face lit up. She leaned on the table and explained the wonderful world in her painting seriously.
When George came over, he saw two old men and a child lying on the table and looking at paintings. Amelia was lying on the table. The two old men beside her were engrossed in listening and laughed from time to time.
George’s expression softened a little. Mia was so young, but she could only be friends with two old men. He felt inexplicably sad.
Evelyn and her mother waited on the sofa in the hall on the first floor. The butler, Uncle Smith, came down and said that everyone should leave first, Fellow Lawrence would not come down again. Everyone left in disappointment. Evelyn’s family could only leave. It was too rude to stay any longer.
Evelyn’s mother was very unwilling. She originally thought that Evelyn would be accepted as Fellow Lawrence’s little disciple, but it seemed like that was not the case. However, how could she be willing to accept this? Hence, she brought Evelyn and continued to wait in the car outside the Walton family’s manor.
The pa.s.sersby did not know and were still discussing, “Is Evelyn’s mother still in the Walton family’s manor?
“Tsk, maybe they thought that Fellow Lawrence wanted to take Evelyn as his disciple, but with all due respect, Evelyn’s standard is not qualified at all.”
In the car, Evelyn’s mother was very angry when she heard these words. What did they mean by her Evelyn wasn’t qualified? However, she couldn’t help but worry. Fellow Lawrence had been on the second floor for so long. Could he really have been moved by the Walton family? Although Amelia didn’t have any talent in painting, it couldn’t be helped that she was doted on by the Walton family! What if they really used money to make Fellow Lawrence relent? Evelyn’s mother began to feel that the world was unfair. Why should her Evelyn lose to power when she was so talented?
At around 11 pm, Amelia sent Hubert out. Amelia was very happy. She seemed to have made a good friend. Although this good friend was a little old, she liked him very much! Yes, like Grandpa said, it was an ‘old’ friend!
Amelia stood at the door and waved. “Old friend, take care.”
Hubert looked at the obedient Amelia. He did not expect to take in such a talented disciple in his lifetime. He was too happy, so he waved his hand the same way and said, “Goodbye, little friend.” The old friend and the little friend both had happy expressions..
