Martha listened to this and tilted her head in thought before nodding in agreement. Indeed, with Stefan’s personality, if he were to take action, the finals would probably be postponed to tomorrow.


    With that thought in mind, she turned back to continue doing her makeup.


    The national paintingpetition finals had been dyed by half an hour and was now scheduled for 9:30 AM. They still had time to make it to the venue but Martha needed to finish her makeup first.


    Stefan saw Martha turn back to continue putting on makeup. His lips pursed slightly as a sh of something crossed his eyes.


    In the next second, he turned around and walked towards the living room where heid out breakfast that he had just bought. He took out a boiled egg from inside and expertly cracked it open before peeling it.


    When Martha came out, there was a peeled boiled egg on her te along with a ss of milk. There were also sandwich, hamburger and hot dog.


    When she saw all this foodid out before them, she blinked slightly, saying in shock, “We can’t eat all this.”


    The man lifted his eyes up at her, indulgently saying “You just need to eat until you’re full; if you can’t finish, I’ll help.”


    Martha cutely blinked as she searched through memories, trying to recall how much Stefan ate for breakfast but couldn’t find anything concrete. Oh well – if she couldn’t finish, then there was always Stefan who could help eat what remained anyway, so no worries about wasting food or anything like that!


    Martha pulled out a chair, gracefully sitting down while starting breakfast and asking, “Will you apany me for the final?”


    “Sure,” replied Stefan nonchntly while picking up one of the sandwich beside him, eating it casually.


    Seeing such an elegant demeanor from him made Martha secretly amazed deep down inside – this man really maintained hisposure regardless of whatever situation!


    But then again… she was elegant too, so they matched each other quite well indeed!


    Thinking about these things made Martha reach over, taking hold of milk beside her and sipping lightly from it…


    By the time they arrived at the venue of National Painting Competition Finals together, it was already 9:20 AM, which meant most contestants were already walking towards backstage area and collecting their tools such as paintbrushes…


    Martha’s arrival surprised everyone. None of those painters expected such a young woman like Martha could make it to the finals.


    Some people even looked down on her and thought she was just lucky to be there. But little did they know how difficult it was to make it this far in thepetition.


    Soon enough, all the finalists were given their painting tools and supplies. The organizers checked everything carefully before giving a thumbs up to start thepetition.


    The host’s voice boomed over the loudspeakers as he weed everyone to witness this exciting event. He exined that they would be broadcasting live throughout the entire process and that both judges from National Painting Association and audience votes would determine who wins.


    “The judges’ scores will ount for 60% of total points while audience votes will ount for 40%. So, when you see your favorite artist create a masterpiece, don’t hesitate to use your voting device next to your seat,” said the host with enthusiasm.


    The crowd erupted with cheers as they eagerly watched each contestant take their ce at their easel. Many fans were hoping that Martha woulde out on top since she had so many supporters in attendance.


    Sitting in the front row center was Stefan Harrison – Martha’s husband. As soon as she told him about making it into finals, he sent his assistant out immediately for tickets in the front row seats. Even though tickets were sold out everywhere else, Mr. Harrison didn’t mind paying extra just so he could witness his wife’s shining moment firsthand.


    He firmly believed that Martha had what it takes to win the first ce against all odds but little did he know almost everyone in attendance was rooting for her too!


    After a thunderous apuse died down from excited fans; contestants began taking their ces at easels, readying themselves mentally before starting work on creating masterpieces worthy of winning such an esteemed award!


    As the host said, “Next up, we have the painter, Sunnay.” The fans in the audience fell silent for a moment before erupting into enthusiastic cheers.


    Over a year ago, Sunnay was holding global art exhibitions and was highly sought after by everyone. Later on, the world-renowned painter disappeared from public view and rumors circted that she had married Mr. Harrison. Countless fansmented their goddess’ retirement from the art world.


    Now, their goddess had returned to the scene and her fans were naturally excited.


    Martha took to the stage amidst thunderous apuse and cheers from the crowd. She smiled and waved at everyone before sitting down at her designated easel marked with number twelve.


    Soon enough, all of the contestants were seated on stage waiting for instructions from the host, who announced their painting topic: paint something rted to snow. Martha immediately thought of Jimmy ying in snow during winter days.


    Before Jimmy’s treatment waspleted, he couldn’t engage in strenuous activities or catch a cold; otherwise his condition would worsen. If things went well with chemotherapy, it could stabilize his condition, but if not, then death would be imminent.


    ying in snow was always an extravagance for Jimmy until he got better.


    Every time it snowed outside, Jimmy looked longingly out of his window but knew deep down that he couldn’t go outside or express his disappointment because it would only make things harder for his mother.


    But as Jimmy’s mother, how could Martha not see through her son’s sadness? So after Jimmy recovered, she took him out to y in the snow without any worries.


    That day, Jimmyughed happily with bright eyes full of childish innocence and satisfaction – it was Martha’s most beautiful memory about snow.


    Therefore, when she heard that they had to paint something rted to snow during thispetition, that image immediately came into her mind as inspiration.


    With this idea firmly nted inside her head, Martha began mixing colors together carefully, while trying them out on paper until finally sketching out an outline onto the drawing paper.


    As soon as finals began, all eyes were fixed upon each contestant’s artwork disyed onrge screens around them. Stefan who sat in the front row was staring intently at Martha with deep affection.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.
