It turned out that the doctor suggested the child's mother taking care of the child because it was better for the child's physical and mental health.
Oliver originally disagreed. But after consulting several doctors for advice, he finally called Tina back for the sake of the child.
However, he still arranged for Tina to live in the backyard where she used to live.
Now, the door in the backyard was opened again, so that Tina could visit the child at any time.
After Tina moved in, she found that Oliver came back very late every day.
She thought that after she moved in, she would have a chance to get close to Oliver, but Oliver still avoided her.
He didn't want to see her.
Tina made no other demands. As long as she lived in the GrandVille Apartments, she was satisfied.
Besides, she was still very free.
Apart from taking care of the child occasionally, she was free most of the time.
Anyway, she was the mother of Oliver's son.
So she was treated as the hostess in the GrandVille Apartments.
Time passed quickly.
...
Five years later.
It was the opening day of the Jessica Art Gallery.
In order to improve the reputation of the art gallery, the planning department of the Williams Group specially invited Jane, the most famous female artist in the world, to attend the opening ceremony and bring a lot of her works, which would be exhibited in the art gallery.
Jane was a mysterious artist. Most people had only seen her work, but they had never known what she looked like. So people were curious about her.
So, it was very amazing for the Jessica Art Gallery to invite Jane to Birmingham.
Even Sally, who had been active in the art circle, only knew her name but didn't know what Jane looked like.
This time, she knew that Jane would come to Birmingham and persuaded Martin to attend the opening ceremony of the Jessica Art Gallery.
Oliver personally presided over the opening ceremony of the art gallery.
When the planning department invited Jane, they hoped that she could arrive in Birmingham a day earlier, but Jane's assistant refused.
So they could only hope that she would be present that day.
Even Oliver was beginning to worry that Jane's absence at the opening ceremony would make what he had done for Jessica imperfect.
He also offered a sky-high price, hoping that Jane could communicate with his staff in advance about the opening agenda for the day.
But he was refused again.
Oliver arrived early in the morning.
The exhibition hall was already decorated with the finished paintings left by Jessica, and there were more sketches casually drawn.
A few months ago, Oliver specially asked Mr. Langston to frame all Jessica's works.
And the works were all hanging on the wall now.
He and Jessica once went together to retrieve Jessica's hibiscus painting from Mr. Langston.
When Mr. Langston heard that it was for Jessica, he was even more surprised to see her works.
He didn't expect that the talented girl had passed away.
No wonder he hadn't seen her for years.
Mr. Langston put in a lot of effort. He knew that Jessica was a perfectionist in painting.
It had taken her a lot of time to choose the material for the frame.
Therefore, Mr. Langston was very careful and attentive while framing her works.
