Chapter 413
Bride Behind The Mask
Contrarily, Miley even thought that the childâs facial expression looked more like Margueriteâs Could she have been mistaken?
Without giving it much thought, Miley immediately drove the two children to the childrenâs diner in the southern part of the city The decisive Teresa ordered everyoneâs favorite dishes according to her godmotherâs and Hayesâ
preferences. For herself, she ordered a pizza and chicken wings.
Once the food arrived, Miley started the conversation, âTeresa, have you gotten enough rest recently?â
Teresa, mouth full of chicken wing, replied. âNo need to beat around the bush. You want me to take on a portrait commission, donât you?â
âWell I really couldnât hide anything from this kid!â Miley thought.
âWill you take it?â Miley asked, hopeful. She quickly answered her own question, âYou should take it.
Consider it a favor for your godfather!â
Godfather? Did her godmotherâs boyfriend send her over?
Teresa recalled something her mom told her about her godfatherâs sister going missing That must be what this was about!
Teresa cleaned her hands and put down her chicken wing. âSince itâs my godfather asking, Iâll definitely help. But before I do, I want to meet him! Call him over!â
Miley was taken aback by how readily Teresa agreed. She quickly sent Robert a message.
[Bring your sisterâs photo and come to the location I sent you. I found Terryâ]
On the other end, Robert was momentarily stunned when he saw the restaurant name.
It was a childrenâs diner with Hello Kitty themed. Did Miley get it wrong?
How could Terry possibly be at a childrenâs restaurant?
However, his sister was his top priority. Robert didnât think much further, took out his sisterâs photo, and rushed over But when he arrived and saw Miley, Hayes, and Teresa feasting, he was filled with doubt.
âWhereâs Terry?â Robert asked hastily Miley lifted her head, nodding towards Teresa, âRight here.â
Robert looked at Teresa, who was scrutinizing him with her arms folded. She looked like she was evaluating him âYouâ¦are you joking, right?â
Robert stood still as a statue, the corners of his mouth twitching in disbelief.
Miley quickly pulled Robert over to sit next to her âI knew youd react like this. But Iâm not kidding, she really is Terry! Sheâs the one who helped me with those client requests to recreate people from surveillance footage! I didnât mean to keep it from you, this little one just asked me to keep it a secret.â
Robert was at a loss for words. Teresa instantly recognized the man before her. Wasnât he her daddyâs good friend? They had just met yesterday!
So, Teresa snorted dismissively. âCanât a child be a portrait artist? You want to meet Terry, thatâs me!â
How dare he question her?
Meanwhile, Robert was completely dumbfounded Teresa? Terry? No way! It really was her! Who would have thought that the talented portrait artist he had been looking for was Margueriteâs daughter! Robert felt like he had been hit by a ton of bricks!
And this little girl was happily bragging to Hayes, âLittle mute, do you know what a portrait artist does?
They can make an old person look young, like how I can sketch what youâll look like when youâre grown up! And they can recreate people from surveillance footage. Itâs okay if you donât understand. Just remember, Iâm an incredible person! Just like you, a genius!â
Being a portrait artist is usually a serious profession, but when attached to Teresa, the contrast was striking as she was just a little girl.
Miley nudged him, âDid you bring your sisterâs photo?â
Robert was doubtful of Teresaâs professional skills. Could she really sketch it out?
Even though he was hesitant, Robert still took out his sisterâs photo Who would have thought that Teresa would raise her chin arrogantly and declare, âI changed my mind!
Iâm not helping you anymore!â
