A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 292

There was a botanical garden 10 kilometres from the Nalan mansion in SH City.

It was half an hour's drive to get there without traffic congestion.

When Lord Richard heard that Linda was going to go sketching, he arranged five body guards for her protection. Linda and Lily were amused since having a group of bodyguards around would definitely make a scene.

Linda wanted to keep a low profile, But she followed Lord Richard's advice just in case. After all, she was pregnant with child.

In March, all the flowers were still in their buds.

"It's boring! There's nothing to sketch about buds. We should wait at least until April. I just don't understand my teacher's purpose, " Linda glowered. "Not really. Your teacher may want you to explore something different. The flowers are preparing to bloom. Though in buds, they're still beautiful, " Linda refuted.

"Let's hope so."

Linda and Lily strolled along the lake. The water was limpid, and there were a lot of benches where visitors could rest. Linda felt tired after walking for about ten minutes.

She sighed at how easily fatigued she was during pregnancy. She was already exhausted without walking that far.

"Let's have a good rest on the bench, My Lady, " Nelson was thoughtful enough to have brought a cushion for Linda and Lily.

"Shall I sit here to sketch? I think it's a picturesque scene. We've got a lake, a wide expanse of sprawling trees, and quaint little bridge."

"Good idea!" Linda agreed.

Lily sat on the lawn, pulled out the sketchpad, and squeezed a bit of ink on the brush. With everything ready, she had set out to work.

Linda sat next to her, watching Lily draw with great interest.

The five body guards were scattered, keeping their distance, while Nelson stood near the girls to ensure their security.

While drawing, Lily started a conversation with Linda.

"What do you think is the point of sketching, Linda?"

"The point? Well, you can capture all the beauty of mother nature with your own eyes and display it on the paper with your brush. I can't do that. I think you're good at it. You're awesome! I can only keep mental pictures of it."

Amused by her response, she turned around, with the breeze ruffling her hair, and said, "You said the same thing my professor had said. It's like a standard answer."

"Then what do you think?" Linda threw the question back.

"As far as I'm concerned, it's all for the diploma, " Linda burst into laughter.

Nelson couldn't help but laugh, "Seriously? That's the only reason why you're doing it?"

"Yeah! How could I support the family without a diploma? Can I count on you?"

Nelson replied with a serious face, "Of course you can!"

All of sudden, Lily's face was stern. She tried to avoid meeting Nelson's eyes and concentrated on the drawing. The truth was, she was shocked by his frankness.

Noticing her blushing face, Nelson asked with a trace of smile at the corner of his mouth, "How about it?"
