Chapter 36 She Can’t Embarrass Her
No!
She could not allow such a thing to happen!
Laila calmed herself down, smiled, and went forward to hold Gavyn’s arm. “There, there. We are here to watch the exhibition. Do not let others affect your mood!”
For some reason, when looking at the hand on his arm, Gavyn kept thinking about the scene of Aylin holding Ryker.
His face darkened and his mood was even worse…
Gavyn avoided Laila and said flatly, “Carmen hasn’t come back for a long time. You should stay with her.”
Seeing that she was pushed away, Laila put on a long face, but in the end, she did not say anything and went up.
However, she held Haleigh’s arms and said, “Mrs. Delacruz, I have also studied painting abroad for the past few years. Let me appreciate the paintings with you today!”
Haleigh held Laila’s hand, feeling gratified.
“You are so sweet. You can dance and draw, and you are nothing more than a noble lady.”
Laila pretended to be shy as she put her hair behind her ear.
“Mrs. Delacruz, you flattered me.”
She pointed at a painting and proudly introduced it, “I know this painting. The author of this painting is Leonel Hensley. Every piece of his work is worth a lot. Last year, one of his paintings was sold for 1.5 million dollars. And this painting is Leonel’s new work. The scenery is rough when looked at from afar but is delicate when one takes a close look. The contrast of the colors is sharp. The animals and plants in the painting are both decadent and vivid. Leonel is calling for the protection of nature.”
Carmen looked at Laila with a face of worship. She did not understand what this painting meant. She only knew that it was good.
Sure enough, Laila was far better than that bumpkin!
This was the woman who was worthy of marrying her brother!
When the onlookers in front of the painting heard this, they also cast admiring looks at Laila.
“I didn’t expect this young lady to have such a deep understanding of paintings at such a young age. Not only is she beautiful, but she is knowledgeable!”
“I thought it was just an ordinary landscape painting. I didn’t expect it to have such a deep meaning.”
“As expected of the future daughter-in-law of the Delacruz family. She and Mr. Delacruz are so compatible!”
Listening to these praises, Laila smiled and glanced at Aylin.
Since Gavyn wanted to protect Aylin, then, she had to humiliate her!
“Ms. Koch, what do you think about this painting?”
Aylin was suddenly called by the name. She turned around and looked at the painting. Her lips curled up. She already knew what Laila was planning.
Did she want to embarrass her?
She thought, I’m sorry, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you!
Aylin said indifferently as she lifted her hand to point at the painting beside Laila. “I don’t have any opinion on the painting you commented on, but I think this painting has a deeper meaning.”
Laila did not expect that Aylin would continue the conversation, and she felt a bit unhappy.
