“I seriously doubt Celeste can even draw. She doesn’t look like the artsy type, does she?”
“She’s technically a former daughter–in–law of the Reed family Drawing in front of everybody, isn’t she just making a fool out of herself?” Ever since the preparations began, Liam has been all frowns and grimaces
He has seen Celeste’s drawings. They weren’t terrible, but they weren’t exceptional either.
Sienna would shower her with praises if it were just her drawing, with no one to compare her with
But now that Clair is also drawing, there will be comparisons. Who’s good and who’s not, everyone will see instantly. No one will be able to save her then.
Liam approached Celeste and whispered, “When I cough, pretend to throw up
Liam shot her a look, “Getting pregnant with your ex husband’s baby after divorce is less embarrassing than losing in a drawing
competition
Celeste replied calmly, “I think the former is more embarrassing”
Liam was speechless.
“Moreover,” Celeste lowered her voice, “how can you be so sure I will lose?”
Liam responded, “It’s not like I haven’t seen your drawings before. Don’t I know your skills?”
Celeste said, “There’s much more you don’t know about me.” She looked at Liam, “How about we make a bet? If grandma prefers my drawing today, you’ll help me with my house purchasing qualifications today.”
Liam immediately declined, “No bet.”
“Are you afraid of losing to me?”
Liam calmly replied, “I can afford to lose money, but not my dignity”
Soon, the place was all set
Mr Robinson kindly said, “Ms. Campbell, Ms. Garcia, you may begin.
Celeste no longer paid attention to Liam and stepped forward.
Both were dressed in similar colors but exuded entirely different vibes
Celeste started to draw.
Clair glanced at her and started to draw as well.
Watching their movements, Nicolas whispered to Liam, “Does she have tendinitis? Her hand is shaking so much, can she even draw?
Liam frowned, “Shut up.”
Nicolas was silent.
Before long. Clair’s drawing was completed.
Nicolas craned his neck to take a peek
Even someone like Nicolas, who knows nothing about art, had to admit it was pretty damn good.
Then he looked at Celeste.
Her hand was still shaking.
It’s over
It’s all over
She is going to lose this time
Nicolas suggested, “Why don’t you pretend to trip and spill your wine on her drawing? Cheating is better than losing.”
Liam picked up a wine glass and handed it to him, “You do it”
Nicolas glanced at the wine in his hand, then back at Celeste. He put the glass back down, Tm afraid Celeste will beat me up ”
Liam huffed, “Coward”
Nicolas was silent
Skyler glanced at Celeste’s drawing, then looked up at Mrs. Kelley.
Mrs. Kelley immediately got the hint, “Ms. Campbell, you’re not done yet?”
Celeste didn’t look up, she didn’t even pause her drawing, she just replied calmly. “Is there a time limit?”
Mrs Kelley laughed. “Of course not. It’s just that you’re taking so long, people might think you can’t draw”
Everyone burst into laughter
Looking at Celeste’s drawing posture, everyone was convinced she would lose.
Sienna raised her hand and whispered, “Shush, everyone.”
Only then did Mrs Kelley shut up
Celeste finished her drawing a few more minutes than Clair.
She stood up, put down her brush, and said. “Sorry to keep everyone waiting”
Sienna smiled warmly. “Not at all. The longer you take, the more effort you’ve put in.”
Sienna’s words clearly showed her bias.
Two servers picked up their drawings and showcased them to everyone
When Clair’s drawing was revealed, it immediately earned everyone’s admiration.
Everyone praised Clair’s drawing, then turned their eyes to Celeste’s.
Everyone fell silent.
Kaylee laughed and said bluntly, ‘This is considered a drawing? Even a child can draw better than this.”
