Chapter 59 The Girl in the Painting
Nova pulled Jason quickly away from this disgusting place. He knew what she was thinking, stretched out his hand and patted her on the back gently, and whispered, "How can you manage other people's affairs? Never mind, everything will face its own karma."
Nova shook his head and sighed, "I just feel sad for her. All her best years are wasted on such a cowardly man, but in the end all of this is over."
Jason hugged her lightly, lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair, and said softly, "Why don't you think that only in this way can she have the opportunity to find her own happiness. In such a marriage, there is no happiness, it is just a kind of shackles. She is now free, you should be happy for her."
Feeling his warm chest, Nova felt warm in her heart for a while and couldn't help but said, "Jason, if one day, you are tired of our marriage, please tell me at once, I don't want to the last one who know it. And I will never hold you back."
Jason frowned and his face turned blue. They were not married yet, but Nova was thinking about leaving. He couldn't help but bit her ear and gritted his teeth, "You get rid of this thought. There is no such a day!"
Nova was surprised, and felt sweet in her heart. Only then did she discover that they were doing this kind of intimacy on this occasion. She quickly pushed him away, bowed her heads and arranged her clothes, trying to hide her embarrassment. However, Jason didn't care about other people's opinions. He straightly caught Nova back, aroused her chin, and said, "Nova, please listen to me clearly. When we are married, there is no possibility of divorce, there will be no other woman, no domestic violence, no illegitimate children, if there is one thing above happened, I will leave the house alone. All property belongs to you."
Nova felt her eyes wet. She turned her eyes away, and asked, "What am I supposed to do with the money since you are gone?"
He hurriedly said, "You can retaliate against me. You sitting in the fancy car by the roadside, watch me become a workman moving bricks! How comfortable you are!"
Nova couldn't help laughing out loud. When he saw her laugh, Jason couldn't help laughing, too. Nova blushed a little. This person was so cheeky to say this nonsense seriously!
Isabelle, wearing an ankle-length tube top and red dress, standing there like a beautiful rose, instantly attracted a lot of attention. She smiled and scanned them one by one, and finally fixed her eyes on the laughing couple not far away. She was a little surprised, and then slowly smiled.
"Isabelle, congratulation! Your dreams come true." Her thoughts were interrupted by a voice. Isabelle turned her head and saw Victoria walking towards her with a smile, and the man with her arm was Brandon.
She smiled and said, “I thought you were not coming.”
"This is your first domestic art exhibition, of course I want to cheer for you." Victoria slightly shook Brandon's arm and said, "Brandon, when you buy a painting later, please buy the most expensive one to support my sister. You can be stingy."
"Victoria, don't be rude." Isabelle frowned and scolded.
Victoria didn't care, and said with a smile, "He would like to do so."
Brandon smiled gently and said, "Of course. I will never be stingy to you."
Victoria said with a sweet smile, "Isabelle, I will get married before you. You need to hurry up."
Isabelle looked up not far away, and said after a while, "Let's talk about it when I return to Chapman's house."
“Isabelle...”
"Okay, it's about to start. If you have anything to say, talk about it later."
Isabelle interrupted her and glanced at Brandon. He immediately understood, patted Victoria lightly and said, "Let's go. Your sister still has guests to entertain."
After they left, Isabelle gestured to the host, and the art exhibition officially began.
Isabelle walked the stage calmly, smiled slightly, waited until the audience quickly became quiet, and then slowly said, “I am very glad that you can take time to participate in my solo art exhibition. With this exhibition, I would like to auction a few of my early works here. All the proceeds from the auction will be donated to charity and contribute to the development of Y city.”
After speaking, she seemed to glance at Nova. Nova noticed her glance and turned to look at Jason. Only then did she find that he had been staring at her, and she frowned, "Why are you staring at me?"
He smiled and said, “You look so pretty today.”
His appreciation was always so undisguised, but not frivolous. Nova wore a knee-length light blue long skirt today. There was a circle of slender tassels around her chest, which was gathered at the waist to outline her slender waist. There was a lace belts around her waist, which was very elegant and also very pleasing to the eye. Jason was thinking, if Isabelle was a noble and graceful peony, then Nova was an elegant lily. Although the peony was luxurious, it would be gaudy and vulgar. Although the lily was simple, it had a sense of beauty. What's more, this lily of his was an enchanting wild lily.
The temperature of Nova's face just went down, but she blushed again. Seeing the big hands that he took initiative to wrap around her waist, she patted him and scolded, "Control yourself!"
However, Nova felt a little weird about her word. And Jason said to her in a low voice, “Baby, I can’t control myself when I see you.”
Nova blushed and hit gently his abdomen with her elbow. Jason slightly bent over, pretending to be in pain, but the smile on his face exposed his mood at the moment.
Isabelle had seen all of this. She smiled slightly, turned and nodded to the host, and said in a low voice, "Let's begin."
Nova didn’t have much interest in these paintings, but she had to admit that Isabelle was indeed talented to make such works at her age. She originally thought she was an idler supported by her family business. When she saw these works today, she had changed a little bit opinion about this person.
There was a total of seven works in this charity sale. The first few were landscape paintings, and the price was estimated to be 100,000 to 100,000 dollars each. The sixth work was a portrait of a character, a girl running toward the sun, using bright colors which was very conspicuous, showing a feeling of full of vitality and hope. Nova was attracted and couldn't help taking a step forward.
The girl in that picture had long waist-length hair dancing in the wind with her lips closed. In the picture, there was only her side face, and her expression cannot be seen. However, Nova thought the girl should be smiling and very happy like her at the moment.
“Do you like it?”
Jason's voice sounded in her ears, Nova gently turned her face, raised her eyes, and slightly smiled toward his dark eyes, and said softly, “I wish I were her.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Jason was surprised by her answer. A few seconds later, he hugged her suddenly.
