Chapter 791
It was too late to regret her earlier decision now and it would be inappropriate for her to leave at this
stage.
It would also be a terrible idea for her to meet Odell face to face.
“Sylvia, I saw Master Carter looking at you,” whispered Simon to her.
Sylvia was slightly surprised. “Are you sure you weren’t seeing things?”
“My eyesight is very good, so I’m sure of it.”
Sylvia remained silent.
Even if Odell had been looking at her, there was no way he would have come running over to her.
“However, it looks like he’s going over to Master Springsteen with Lily, so I think he’s going to greet the
old man,” Simon said.
Sylvia pursed her lips. ‘See, I knew he had not come here for me.’
Sylvia lifted her head up and looked in that direction.
She was roughly a dozen meters away but due to Odell’s towering figure, she was able to spot him at
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtone glance.
However, all she could see was his back. He was standing beside Lily as he talked to Master
Springsteen.
The two of them looked good beside each other.
Sylvia immediately withdrew her gaze.
Everyone knew she was Odell’s ex-wife, so if she was overly concerned about his arrival, it would
definitely attract unwanted attention.
At the same time, another group of guests cheered loudly.
Christopher came over and said to Sylvia and Simon with a wide grin, “Sylvia, Simon, Mr. Carmine is
doing a live demonstration and he would like you to critique it.” Mr. Carmine was a well-known collector
in Westchester. He used to produce his own works of art when he was younger but had been unable to
gather enough attention to become famous.
Since he had requested for Sylvia and Simon to comment on his work, it would be rude for the two of
them to decline it.
The two of them followed Christopher to the crowd of people.
Mr. Carmine stood before the table that had been covered with art paper and was showing off his skills.
He was painting a landscape in oil. Judging by his skills, it looked like he painted a lot and was
comfortable handling
a paint brush. By the time Sylvia and Simon had reached the table , Mr. Carmine was already half done
with his painting. The two of them continued watching the live demonstration. From time to time,
Christopher would flatter the man.“ Mr. Carmine , this brush stroke of yours is really good!” Hearing his
flattery really boosted Mr. Carmine’s mood. A short while later, his landscape painting was completed.
Christopher praised, “Mr. Carmine, this is great! I believe that as a fellow collector, this painting
produced by your hands would be quite valuable.” “You flatter me,” said Mr. Carmine as he laughed
heartily. Then, turning to Sylvia and Simon, he said, “Mr. Amos, Ms. Sunflower , why don’t you two give
me some feedback about my painting? Just be frank, there’s no need for you to flatter me whatsoever.”
Simon turned to Sylvia.
Sylvia knew that Simon had a very straightforward personality. If he were to comment on Mr. Carmine’s
painting, he would definitely anger the man.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter thinking about it carefully, Sylvia said, “Mr. Carmine, there’s a slight flaw in your painting but it’s
not a big deal. The overall painting is good, just like what Mr.
Dendro said. It has an imposing look.”
The expression on Mr. Carmine’s face changed. He was displeased when he heard the comment.
“Flaw? What flaw?”
Sylvia had not expected him to be bothered by this tiny flaw that she had mentioned. In fact, she had
thought that he would be happy at hearing the praise. She had only mentioned the flaw casually
because it had just been one of many that she had spotted. After a slight hesitation, she stepped
forward and pointed at the painting, “I think the strokes and the paint here are a little too heavy.”
Mr. Carmine frowned. “This is the foot of the mountain. If it’s not thick enough, how would others know
it’s a mountain?”
Sylvia pursed her lips. She was at a loss for words.
It was then that Lily’s voice came from behind. “Uncle Carmine, your painting is great but Ms. Ross has
also made a good point as well. However, I believe this particular spot doesn’t affect the overall beauty
of the painting at all. Your strokes have brought out the beauty of the scenery in the painting, making
the painting quite impressive.”
