Chapter 606
Comparing both writing motions, Vermont whispered to Keegan who was next to him, "Stella's hands are shaking so much, and she looks like her words are too squiggly.Are you sure it's not her tenosynovitis acting up?"
Keegan frowned and impolitely replied, "Will you shut that ill- omened mouth of yours?"
Jaylene, who had practiced for some time, moved her pen smoothly, and her part of the couplet was soon completed.
Vermont stretched himself to have a better look.
Jaylene wrote in semi-cursives fluidly and meaningfully, writing out every stroke.
Even Vermont, a calligraphy illiterate, could not help but admit that the calligraphy was well written.
He then turned to look at Stella, only to see her hands still shaking.
'That's it.She's definitely going to lose this," he thought.
Vermont pondered before he said, ''Why don't you pretend to slip and spill wine over your wife's calligraphy? Getting through this is much better than losing face."
Keegan scowled, took a glass of wine from a nearby tray, passed it to Vermont, and said, "You go."
Vermont looked at the glass of wine in his hand, looked at Stella, then bit his lips as he placed the glass of wine back on the tray.
"I'm too thin-skinned."
Keegan harrumphed, "Weak-willed man!"
Unable to retort, Vermont kept silent.
Dahlia glanced at Mrs.Chapman after she saw Stella's calligraphy.
Mrs.Chapman gave an understanding eye and said, "Ms.Jewell, what's taking you so long to write the calligraphy? Ms.Saun had already finished writing it a long time ago."
