Chapter 1003
Catelyn stared at these paintings, dazed and fascinated.
In one of the paintings, a woman was standing in front of an easel-holding a paintbrush in one hand and holding a drawing board in the other-and was painting the man opposite.
The man leaned lazily on the chair and tilted his head sideways, looking elegant and extravagant.
She never looked at this painting carefully before, and it was only at this moment that she noticed the woman's eyebrows and eyes...
"She looks very similar to you, doesn’t she?" came the voice of an old yet familiar male voice from behind her.
Catelyn turned and saw Ezekiel walking toward her in a suit and leather shoes.
Staring at the painting, his eyes sank. "I burned all of Summer's photos and buried them with her. This is the only painting that was left because she drew this. It was found out later that the court auctioned off this painting, and I spent a long time looking for it before I finally retrieved it."
Catelyn could not help but want to reach out and touch the woman in the painting.
The painting had been hanging in Ezekiel's study for many years. He never mentioned the source of the painting, and she only thought it was a masterpiece by a famous artist out there, but she never knew that the painter was her mother.
After all, she was just a kid, so she was not so similar to the woman in the painting.
However, the model in the painting did not seem to be Ezekiel. Although Catelyn could only see him sideways, his facial features were different from Ezekiel's.
"Who is this guy?" asked Catelyn as she pointed to the man in the painting.
"Did he hurt Mom?*
Ezekiel stared at her steadily and said, "I asked Summer the same question before, and she said that she never wants to talk about this person in her life, so I guess it must be the man who broke her heart."
Catelyn clenched her hands tightly. If it was not for that man, her mother and grandmother would not have been separated for so many years...
Ezekiel suddenly asked, "Is your relationship with Cedrick not going great recently? I heard that you ordered the bodyguards not to allow Cedrickto enter the manor again."
"There are ups and downs in every relationship. This doesn't affect our love, however. Don't worry, I still love him very much. Dad, leave US alone."
She knew that Ezekiel did not just come to catch up with her.
’How can I not care? You're my daughter, and I'm responsible for you. Don't be caught up with the passing of your child, and stay away from him to be safe.
"You have to believe that Dad can find someone who loves you more than him for you, and you're destined to be with someone else who loves you even more."
Ezekiel's words were like needles that pricked her heart.
The moment Ezekiel showed his dislike toward Cedrick, Catelyn lost her affection for him.
No matter how many conflicts there were between her and Cedrick, even if she was very angry that he wanted to kill their child secretly, she never thought of leaving him.
’Dad, what are you talking about? What do you mean, 'stay away from him to be safe'? What do you mean, we can't be together forever? I feel that you've changed a lot since you came back!"
"I've never changed; it's the world that's changing. It's not like you don't know that Cedrick has a hereditary virus in his body. He won't live long!"
if what you're worried about is the virus, then there's no need for that. He has an entire medical team under him. Sooner or later, he'll find an
antidote for it."
"Cat-"
"I don't want to quarrel with you anymore. You said you wanted to give me these paintings, right? I’ll go to the manager and deal with them. You don't need to bother yourself anymore now." Catelyn bit her lower lip and fled in a hurry.
She did not know what Ezekiel would say if she stayed any longer, but she had a strong feeling of what it might be.
