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 one 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.
After 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.”
