Please Be Gentle With Me Mr Grant novel Chapter 15

Matthew also smiled and said to Blanca, “Grandpa said you are sweet and nice.”

Blanca came to her sensed, said thank you and smiled. She felt relieved that this grandpa seemed very kind.

She looked at the old man’s work and flattered, “That is great!”

The old man thought she was just flattering him. After all, few young women were interested in oil painting now. He wanted to tease her and asked, “How come? Explain it for me, please?”

Seeing that he was testing her, she went to the table and gave a professional comment on his work, which impressed the old man.

“Very well. You’ve learned about oil painting before?”

Blanca shook her head and said, “My neighbor is a master of oil painting. I used to hang out in his place all the time, which is why I know a few things about it.”

The neighbor she mentioned was indeed a master of oil painting. He got into trouble with some bad guys so he fled to the slum. Blanca had never gone to school but that neighbor taught her a lot.

Matthew was quite surprised to hear that from Blanca. He didn’t expect her to know so much about painting.

They stayed in his study for about ten minutes and then Mr. Johnson came to say that dinner was ready. Then they went downstairs with grandpa. When Wilbert came, his wife Carrie ran to him and cried, “Honey, you have to do something!”

“What?”

“That girl Matthew brought home was rude to me! She said that I’m a gold digger and that I stink!”

“Really? She dared to say that to you?”

Wilbert lived with Carrie for more than a decade. He knew her personality and could tell that she was exaggerating.

“Yes! She isn’t one of us yet and she dares to treat me like that! How could I expect her to respect me in the future!”

“I think she is a nice girl. She wouldn’t do such things.”

Carried was even more angry hearing that, “You don’t believe me? She was a thief! We can’t trust her!”
