Please Be Gentle With Me Mr Grant novel Chapter 152

Matthew frowned and his arm around Blanca tightened a little. He gave Peter a curt nod and then looked at Blanca. “Are you tired now? Let’s go home,” he said gently.

“But … I…” Blanca said, avoiding Matthew’s eye. She took the hint that Matthew wanted to keep her away from Peter, but she was hesitant to obey him this time, for she really liked painting and didn’t want to miss her chance.

When she saw Peter give her a hearty wink, Blanca made a decision. She took a deep breath and finally got the courage to say, “Peter is the last student of Mr. Butler and he’s willing to teach me. I must take this opportunity and l would like you to support me on this.” Blanca said and shook his arm, trying to convince him.

Blanca knew those words would probably upset Matthew, but she had no other choice in this matter, for painting was her dream. To her surprise, Matthew said, “If you want to learn to paint, I can get you a better teacher, one of the most famous teachers. I could even try to convince Mr. Butler to teach you! So, now, we should go home first, Blanca.” There was a hint of anger and majesty in his voice.

Upon hearing this, Blanca’s eyes were suddenly over bright, for Matthew’s words seemed a very enticing offer, but on second thought, she felt a few passing doubts. Matthew knew nothing about her dream, but Peter knew it!

What if Matthew deceived her? What if he was just saying this to get her leave Peter? At this thought, Blanca looked down at the floor with disappointment, but she didn’t have the courage to say no. She saw people coming and going at the party and knew her identity. She was not only Blanca, but also the wife of Matthew and Mrs. Grant. She represented the honor of the Grant family at this moment.
