Love of Tomorrow (Vania Greyson) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145 An Investment

Jude mimicked their actions and did the same.

Vania applauded him for it. “You really do have an incredible memory. If you combine that with your rich imagination, you will undoubtedly become an outstanding designer.”

She patiently taught Jude the basics of drawing.

As for the other three children, they were engrossed in their own drawings and paid no attention to what was happening around them. The air was full of scratching sounds as their pencils flew across their canvases, and soon enough, a beautiful human form appeared on each of their drawing boards.

In the past, the moment they finished their drawing, they would run off to dive back into their airplanes and aliens. However, this time, they simply set down their pencils before patiently watching as Jude received his drawing lesson, and they occasionally gave him a word of encouragement.

Perhaps it was due to his nervousness, but his first drawing was a little lacking.

Jude lowered his head in dismay. He felt like he had disappointed Vania and that he was not as good as his older brothers.

When Jacob noticed his downcast expression, he immediately said, “Jude, don’t be upset. When we first started drawing, we didn’t draw as well as you did!”

Jack added encouragingly, “Yes, exactly. For someone who’s drawing for the first time, you’ve done a great job.”

“You can take it slow, and we’ll be with you every step of the way.” James was thoughtful enough to help Jude tidy up his drawing board.

Even Vania jumped in with her praise. “All of us believe in you. You’ve really done a good job with your drawing today.”

Finally, Jude raised his head again, and he looked a little more assured of himself.

“Alright. Now, it’s time for Mommy to tell you guys a story.”

This was a nightly ritual that was of utmost importance to their little family. It was also Jude’s favorite time of the day, but it was not the stories that he liked the most. Rather, it was the sense of belonging that he felt when they were gathered together.

He quickly got into a comfortable position, and the other three children followed suit as they waited for Vania to tell them a story.
