Chapter 1009
Madeline asked curiously, only to find a bitter smile on his gentle features.
“Do you know how I became an amateur artist?” Ryan asked.
Madeline shook her head and smiled. “Do tell.”
Ryan turned to look at Madeline. “You made me who I am today.”
“Me?” Madeline was confused as Ryan began to tell her what happened years ago.
Back then, Madeline had just graduated high school. It was the summer break before university started.
Madeline had found a part-time job at a dessert shop, and when she walked out one day, she found an art stall by the road.
At that point in time, Madeline had not begun to pursue jewelry designing just yet, but art was something that piqued her interest. Walking over, she found the artworks rather interesting.
As such, she picked one up to take a look.
Just then, a boy came over to ask calmly, “Do you want it?”
She was shocked, but the boy continued before she could reply, “Just pay however much you think it’s worth.”
“…” Madeline was still an innocent lady, too embarrassed to place the art down after picking it up. As such, she rummaged through her pocket only to find a one-dollar coin. She could have paid using her phone, but that money was only enough for her school fees.
She placed the coin down, saying, “I’m sorry. I only have this coin on me now.”
She then encouraged him. “There’s a unique feel to your art style. Keep going, I’m sure you’ll improve and achieve breakthroughs beyond your imagination.”
Madeline then left with the piece of art, leaving the boy to pick up the coin she gave him with a smile.
At that, Madeline finally understood what Ryan meant when he asked if she still remembered the coin.
She forgot about this encounter long ago and may not have remembered it at all had Ryan not reminded her.
