The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2066

Sketching portraits was child's play for Stella.

She gave a small nod. "Sure."

To save time, she opted for a simple, fast charcoal sketch.

An hour later, Stella set her pencil down.

"Done."

She handed the drawing to Joshua.

He took it, his eyes dropping to the paper.

Though it was a quick sketch, every line was rendered with stunning precision, bringing his likeness to life on the page. The piece radiated an undeniable, deep-rooted artistic mastery.

When Joshua remained silent, Stella couldn't help but ask, "What do you think, Mr. Gardner?"

He finally looked up, meeting her gaze with open admiration.

"As the current head of the Williams family, you play the violin, you understand cars, and you're an incredible artist. Oh, right..." He paused, adding, "Your culinary skills are also impeccable. You really are exceptional, Ms. Cameron. It makes me wonder if there's anything you can't do."

Joshua's gaze was filled with unconcealed appreciation and burning curiosity.

A shiver ran down Stella's spine under the weight of that look.

Things felt like they were drifting into very dangerous territory.

She had been terrified of him remembering the past.

But if he truly hadn't remembered anything, and was simply developing a genuine romantic interest in her anew...

That didn't exactly seem like a good thing either, did it?

She needed to finish the car as fast as humanly possible and put serious distance between them.

Stella avoided his eyes. "You flatter me, Mr. Gardner. There are plenty of things I can't do. If the proposal looks good to you, can I begin?"
