Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness
Chapter 117 An Amateur
After the party, Emily managed to get Queena's number. She had planned to start hanging out with Queena to get closer to her.
With Yulia's help, it didn't take long for Emily to make Queena fall in her trap.
Queena quickly changed her clothes after lunch and headed downstairs. She saw that Melinda was sitting in the living room, reading a book.
"Mrs. Lin is coming here today. I'm leaving now because I've got important work to do. Make her feel at home and don't cause any trouble."
Although Queena despised Melinda, she couldn't deny that she was the smartest of them all. However, Yulia's constant mind games made her believe that Melinda was devising cunning plans against her.
"I know, Mom. Don't worry, I'll take care. Have a good time."
Melinda closed the book and smiled. She wondered why Queena was leaving the house when her friend was going to meet her at home but she didn't dare to ask her.
Once Queena left, Melinda asked Gavin to tell her about Mrs. Lin, her likes and dislikes. She wanted to well-prepared to receive her.
Emily had invited Queena to an art exhibition that was held by a young, popular painter.
Yulia had informed Emily about Queena's love for painting and calligraphy. Therefore, Emily decided to bring her here.
"This young man has done a pretty good job,"
Queena said, arching an eyebrow in appreciation. She went in circles and inspected all the paintings.
The paintings were beautiful with hidden meanings that only people who truly loved art could decipher. Whereas, in the layman's eyes, they were just pieces of art with beautiful strokes. Queena could understand the meanings and couldn't take her eyes off the paintings. Emily couldn't understand anything and decided to break the silence.
"Aunt Queena, I remember that you were good at painting and calligraphy. I used to admire all your works. They were out of the world,"
Emily said, looking at the majestic piece of art before her. It was a painting of a serene landscape. The vivid red figure in the corner seemed to lure the attention of the viewers.
"Oh, I draw pictures and write calligraphy just to pass the time. My work is nothing compared to the paintings of this artist,"
Queena said, shaking her head with disappointment. Emily's eyes were gleaming with excitement. "Well, I don't know if I'm lucky enough to see your work." She pouted.
"I'll ask the driver to pick you up tomorrow. You can come to my house and take a look at my artworks."
Queena shrugged casually. They strolled across the art gallery before leaving. The next day, Queena kept up her promise and arranged the driver to pick Emily up.
Queena's paintings were in the drawing-room of the Gu's mansion. She had always been fond of art and calligraphy, and therefore, the walls were covered with her works.
