The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 54
Corinne and Jason arrived at an artistic building. He passed the car key to the valet for the valet to park
his car. Later, he led Corinne into his art gallery like a gentleman.
The orange sports car was parked somewhere, not too far from the art gallery. The people in the car
were looking over.
âSir, I think theyâre just here to see the art exhibition,â Felix tried reasoning. âTheyâre not having an affair
as you think. The relationship between our family and Holdens is already bad. Itâs just going. to make
things worse if you continue to stalk Mister Jeremyâs newlywed wife!â
Sunny thought otherwise. âYou know nothing! Thereâs something fishy about them going to the art
exhibition alone!â
After that, he got out of the car and wanted to continue stalking Corinne in the art gallery, but the staff
at the entrance stopped him. âIâm sorry, sir. Youâll need to have the invitation card to enter.â
Sunny frowned unhappily. âIâm a Rivera. My family has been close to the Talbots for many years. Why
canât I go in?â
After that, the staff went to check on the guest list with his colleague.
âWe only have Mister Lucas Rivera on the guest list from the Riveras. This gentleman isnât on the list.â
âThenâ¦â
Sunny could hear them mumbling, so he cleared his throat. âMy brother isnât free today, so Iâm
attending on his behalf.â
The staff thought for a while and said, âLet him in, then.â
âWelcome, Mister Sunny.â
âThatâs more like it.â He raised his brows and walked right into the art gallery.
While Corinne was inside the art gallery, she looked at The Pink Flamingo, and her mind drifted
away.
âIt seems like youâre solely interested in the paintings from Nellie Nymphaea and not the other world-
famous paintings,â Jasonâs voice gently rang from behind her. He went to greet his friends before he
went back to find Corinne.
She looked at him. âYes. I like her paintings.â
Out of curiosity, he asked, âWhy do you like Nellie Nymphaea so much? Her works are very niche and
not that popular in the mainstream.â
âBecause sheâs myâ¦idol!â Her feelings were mixed when she got to admire her motherâs earlier works.
She nearly revealed that Nellie was her mother.
Jason chuckled. âI see. I had the honor of meeting your idol before.â
Corinneâs gaze wavered as she stared at Jason. âYou saw her before? When was it?â
Jason nodded. âI saw her when I was still a child. My father bought these three paintings from her at
that time too, and he then gave these three paintings to me.â
Corinneâs eyes twinkled. âWhat kind of person do you think she is?â
Jason recalled whatever he could and said, âSheâs a very pretty woman. Gentle, and yet indifferent.
She had her unique views on things. A proud and aloof person, just like how her works were never
drawn to attract the majority.â
He was right. The way Jason described her mother was the same as she remembered. Her mother
was a proud and aloof person. However, her mother always treated her and the others in the family
with gentleness and tenderness.
She asked, âJason, are you selling those three paintings?â
Undoubtedly, Jason knew what she was thinking. âYou want to buy them?â
She nodded.
Jason smiled. âUnfortunately, every piece in this gallery means a lot to me. Theyâre not up for sale.â
Corinne frowned. âThis is going to be hard. How should I convince him to sell them to me?â
