Chapter 327
Bride Behind The Mask
While Investigating the profession of portrait artist, Teresa discovered that it was not only about mastering the basics of painting, but also understanding the laws of human genetics.
Each feature of a childâs face, she realized, contained features of their parents.
Therefore, she frequently used herself as a model. She often compared her own features to those of her mom, trying to extrapolate her dadâs appearance from the similanties and differences.
To her surprise, the image of her dad that she painted was of a completely unfamiliar man.
Initially, she thought she had made a mistake somewhere, so she continually improved her skills.
However, no matter how many times she painted, the âdad she painted was always this stranger, without exception!
Teresa was truly puzzled because she had never seen this man before. Ever since she was bom, her mom had been Marguente, and her dad was Maurice There was no reason for there to be a mistake!
Therefore, Teresa could only hide this painting She was afraid that her mom and dad would be hurt if they knew she doubted her own origins.
She didnât want to upset her mom and dad.
With a sigh of melancholy, Teresa, as serious as a mature adult, put away the two portraits of her dads, quickly finished the one she was working on, and sentit off to Miley Then, she quickly added a message, âMiley, painting portraits takes so much out of me, I need a break.â
On the other end, receiving the portrait, Miley breathed a sigh of relief.
She immediately forwarded it to the client, who quickly sent the balance of payment.
Counting the hefty sum, Miley was in high spints. She couldnât wait to share the joy with Robert, but she noticed he was busy on a phone call Finally, when he hung up, Miley immediately asked, âWhatâs going on? Youâve been busy all day, and even during our date you seemed preoccupied.â
Robert seemed a bit imitated, âItâs about my sister. I heard from Wade Charles that there is a portrait artist named Terry in Stonebridge City who can infer what someone will lock like in the future from their current face. I was thinking of sending a photo of my sister when she was bom to see if that artist could extrapolate what she might look like now, which would make finding her easierâ
When Miley heard this, she swallowed hard, looked at the message from Teresa, and then at Robert.
She wanted to say something, but she wasnât sure should Terry is Teresa!
Miley blinked, âMaybe I could help you look for this person?â
âYou know Terry?â
âUh. âMiley was caught off guard. Tve just heard the name.â
To be honest, getting Teresa to paint a portrait is not that easy, because she was an eccentric girl who took jobs based on her mood. Several times Miley had tried to commission work from her, Teresa had declined for various masons So, Miley wasnât sure what Teresa was thinking.
Plus, Teresa had just suid she needed a break, so Miley was sure that if she approached her now, she would be turned down. Therefore, Miley chose to keep the truth hidden for now She would try to convince Teresa later, and she could tell Robert when the dust had settled Miley changed the subject, âDid you hear that Mr. Winston called Marguerite in today? Whatâs going on?
Robert shrugged, âWho knows what Frederick is thinking, that man can be vindictive Why are you thinking of helping again?â
âOf course Miley was adamant, âBack then, I didnât know about Mr. Winston and Yunaâs situation and advised Marguente not to persist. Now that heâs still a bachelor and sheâs still single, Iâll certainly go all out for my best friend Iâll snatch Mr. Winston back from Yuna Exhausted, Robert rubbed his temples, then tabbed Miley on the shoulder For now, I leave this challenging mission to you. I have more important tasks to handle. I cant delay finding my sister any longer!â
Mijey looked at Robert wideâeyed Why did she feel like they were a bit like Mr & Mrs Smith?
