Chapter 493


    “Even if I were to poke a hole in the sky, she would try her best to patch it up for me. Hence, we’ve


    never gotten into any fights at all.”


    “Well, I have.” I smiled faintly and pointed at my face as I continued, “Mom hit me really hard once


    when she saw me fighting with Yvette over something. I was so stupid back then. With a scary look on


    her face, she told me to not treat an irresponsible b*stard like Nathan as my dad. I was too young to


    understand what a homewrecker was at the time, so I didn’t know why she was so upset. Now that I


    think about it, Mom probably wanted to leave the moment she saw Scarlett show up at the Tanner


    residence. Do you think that’s why she left?”


    Christopher didn’t answer my question and simply hugged me tighter in response. “Nothing I say would


    be of any good now, but maybe things aren’t as bad as you think. I believe that things have a way of


    working themselves out, so you’ll probably find your answers when you see her.”

    “Perhaps.” I let out a helpless chuckle. “Given how smart Mom is, I bet she must’ve known about


    Scarlett long before she left. She probably didn’t mind it as long as Dad kept that woman out of the


    house, and she finally chose topletely give up on their rtionship the day he brought her home.”


    As Ansley’s art exhibition was only three days away, I didn’t have time to waste moping about. With


    Ansley being a world-renowned artist, the guests attending the art exhibition were all famous people


    from all over the world.


    I was instantly surrounded by journalists the moment I got out of Christopher’s car and entered the


    venue. With the blinding camera shes in my face, I tried my best to straighten my back and stay calm


    so as to not embarrass myself in an international event.


    “Don’t panic. Just ignore their presence and act like they’re not here. We’re on a date and just casually


    strolling about.” Christopher held my hand and slowly walked toward the crowd.


    He looked really handsome in his ck suit and shiny dress shoes whichplemented his huge


    figure, broad shoulders, and slender legs. He had a graceful air about him as he walked with a steady


    pace, and his charming smile quickly removed whatever nervousness I had in me.


    “You two sure arete. With the number of celebrities attending this art exhibition, I’m surprised you


    guys had it in you to arrive on the dot!” Remington said as he popped up in front of us.


    “What are you doing here?” I looked at him in surprise.


    “Have you forgotten that I’m a highly respected artist among the youth of our country? How could I


    possibly miss out on an event that you’re attending?” Remington cleared his throat as he continued,


    “It’s a shame that Ansley didn’t disy my work in the main studio, but I am fortunate enough to get it


    disyed during the event’s finale for all to enjoy.”


    He’sining about Ansley not appreciating his work when it’s only chosen for the finale? He’s


    obviously just trying to brag about it! Everyone knows how Ansley loves supporting the newer


    generation of artists, and this guy is anything but new! I rolled my eyes at the thought of that.


    “Congrattions!” I said with a smile before whispering in Christopher’s ear, “This guy is clearly here to


    show off, isn’t he?”


    “He’s here to brag about it to me. We were both interested in drawing when we were kids, but I gave up


    after doing it for three days. Being the one who got me into art, Remington swore to make a name for


    himself in the world and leave me envious of his sess,” Christopher said with a chuckle.


    “Pfft!” I snickered. Who would’ve thought a grown man like Remington would have such a childish side


    to him? It’s obvious that Christopher wouldn’t care about such things! He’ll just feel happy for his


    friend’s sess!


    Recalling how Christopher wouldment on my art online, I gave him a light nudge and asked, “Do


    you know so much about art because you have a lot of friends who are into it?”


    Christopher nodded. “You really think I sent Harvey so he could go easy on you? That guy thinks he’s


    so great just because he can draw the Phoenix better than his peers, but I’ve seen how fast you drew


    the Phoenix back then. That’s why I had Harvey attend that party.”


    Okay, Christopher has me beat…
