Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 435

When I woke up in the morning, I thought that Christopher had already left. Walking into the living room in a daze, I realized that Christopher was standing in front of the easel and staring at my painting. There was an ashtray beside him that contained a few cigarettes. It was obvious that he had been standing there for a long while already.

Walking over, I glanced at the almost completed painting and asked, “Why are you looking at this for so long? Didn’t you see it yesterday already?”

“Of course I have to admire your painting properly. Didn’t you love to take pictures of your paintings and email them to me in the past? You’d even ask for my opinion. Now that I’m by your side, why have you stopped doing that?” asked Christopher calmly as he crossed his arms over his chest.

I raised my hand and touched the dried oil painting. Back then, Key was my confidante. Now that Key had become Christopher, my past habits were starting to disappear. It was probably because our minds were connected.

I spent more than a month on the painting. Unfortunately, no one but Christopher could admire it now.

I asked, “Do you have anything to say about it?”

Christopher cleared his throat. Stroking his chin, he contemplated for a while before pointing at the painting. “It’s not bad. While the blending and layering of your previous two paintings seemed quite lacking, this painting was much better. It has the beautiful strokes of your Autumnal Panorama. Congratulations! You’ve found your skills from six years ago.”

Unfortunately, even though I had regained my skills, I was once again confronted by a difficult situation. The previous time, I had no choice but to give up. This time, despite being unwilling to give up, I had no choice but to accept my fate.

Sometimes, I felt that I was quite pathetic. No matter how much I tried, I would still lose what I wanted. What I wished for was always very different from what I got in reality. Good things only went to others, while I could only watch on helplessly.

“This is great news! Why don’t I draw a portrait for you?” I smiled and asked.
