Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Birthday Invitation (6)
Translator: 549690339
Once again, the topic was brought up, and Ruby Gregory felt somewhat numb to it. Her face still held a faint, calm smile as she did not respond.
Wenny Burton seemed to realize that she had brought up something she shouldnāt have. She gave an awkward smile and apologized, āRuby, why did I bring that upā¦ā
āWennyā¦ā Ruby interrupted her as if nothing had happened, āHave you been painting all these years?ā
Ruby had learned many things since she was young, with painting being her strongest skill. Wenny later became fascinated with painting, but due to her limited talent, her paintings always lacked a certain touch. So, she would always ask Ruby for help with modifications.
Wenny knew Ruby was trying to change the subject and immediately followed along, āI still paint occasionally, but after you left, all my paintings became half-finished.
This was precisely what Ruby was waiting for her to say, āCoincidentally, Iām free today, so if youāre not busy, Wenny, why donāt you bring out those paintings? Iāll help you finish them.ā
āSure.ā Wenny was delighted at Rubyās offer and quickly stood up. She led Ruby upstairs to her painting studio.
This time, Rubyās visit seemed to be about delivering vegetables to the Burtons.
In reality, she came because Steve Burton once mentioned in his office that Wenny was in charge of his birthday party, so she figured the invitations must be sent out by Wenny. Hence, her purpose was to get the invitation to Steveās birthday party from Wenny.
During the three years in Costa Luna, Ruby had not wasted her skills. Her painting technique became even better than before, and she put extra care into Wennyās half-finished works. After her modifications, the paintings were worlds apart from their original state.
Wenny was genuinely excited and couldnāt stop praising Ruby, āRuby, youāre truly amazing! These paintings are absolutely gorgeous after youāve touched them up!ā
Ruby felt inner joy at those compliments and became even more focused while refining the paintings for Wenny. āWenny, if you ever need help, feel free to ask me.ā
Wenny immediately nodded without hesitation and laughed, āSure, as long as it doesnāt bother you.ā free(w)ebnovel
āNot at all.ā Ruby seemingly casually looked at Wenny, who was admiring the finished painting in her hands. She sensed that her chance had arrived, so she paused for a moment before turning to Wenny and asking, āWenny, isnāt Steveās birthday coming up in a few days?ā
Steve didnāt leave the Burton residence. It was just that his eldest cousin got drunk last night and had someone send him home. The next day, when he went out, he borrowed Steveās car.
Steve had slept late last night, and since it was a weekend, he didnāt get up until noon.
After freshening up and putting on a casual outfit, he went downstairs, just in time to see a servant setting the silverware on the dining table.
āMr. Steve.ā
āHmm.ā Steve grunted, pulled out a chair, and sat down.. He noticed that there were three sets of silverware on the table, then said, āIsnāt it just my sister and me at home today?ā
