Chapter 630
Married at First Sight
âIâm still sober. Another couple of drinks wonât make me drunk.â
âYou should quit while youâre at it.
âWe came here to have a drink or two. Too much is not good for you.â
Serenity stared at her eerily.
Jasmine fell silent for a moment before getting up to leave. She reminded her brother to watch Serenity.
A while later, Jasmine returned with a pen, papers, and a glass of wine in hand.
âThis is your last drink. I asked for a few sheets of paper for you to draw on.â
âJas, Serenityâs drunk. Can she still draw?â
Serenity claimed that she was sober but the truth was, she was drunk.
Instead of answering his brotherâs question, Jasmine handed the pen and papers to Serenity. Serenity took the stuff and started drawing on the paper without taking the drink.
First, she drew a ball.
Drake was speechless.
It was not hard to draw a circle in a drunken state. Drake believed it was a no-brainer.
Serenity then drew a lake with way too many wavy lines along the shore. Following that, she portrayed a -person standing before the lake.
Drake watched with amazement.
âDoes Serenity like to draw after she gets drunk, Jas?â
Jasmine nodded her head. âGive her a pen and paper when she wants to rant but canât. Sheâll let it all out through her doodles.â
Drake was lost for words.
Some people were plain weird.
It was a good thing Jasmine knew Serenity well because Drake would not be able to figure her out.
Serenity put a lot of thought into drawing the silhouette of a person.
Jasmine did not need to get close to guess Serenity was drawing Zachary.
Drawn by curiosity, Drake watched as Serenity doodled on the paper.
Serenity portrayed the upper half of Zacharyâs body on the paper. Once she was done, she took a look and added a heart to his chest. Nevertheless, she penciled the heart rather tiny.
Putting down the pen, she grabbed her untouched wine and admired her artwork while sipping it.
Serenity believed she brought the character to life as she was not usually good at portraits.
Picking the paper up for a look, Jasmine praised, âYouâve reached a breakthrough at drawing portraits, Seren. The drawing is very lifelike. You brought out Mr. Yorkâs callous eyes and deadpan face. Itâs like Iâm looking at a photograph.â
She knew that her best friend was able to breathe life into a portrait of Zachary because Serenity had apter 6:30 fallen in love with him.
âJas, did Serenity draw a river or a lake? Whatâs with the wavy lines?â
Tilting her head, Jasmine looked at her brother. âAre you blind? Canât you tell whether itâs a river or a lake? âSerenity portrayed everything well, but you canât tell the difference. You should cut down your time on computer games. Theyâre not good for your eyes. Get Mom to buy you supplements.â
Drake grabbed the drawing from his sister and mumbled, âItâs too small for a lake and too short to be a river. I really canât tell whether itâs a river or a lake.â.
âLook at the ripple-like lines against the shore. What happens when you have water and dirt? What does it become?â
âYouâll get soil with a slimy texture.â
âThatâs right, slime.â
âSo the ball⦠Slimeball?â
Drake lifted his head and stared at Serenity. The latter was busy drinking her wine while Jasmine kept to herself.
He looked at Zacharyâs portrait, finally getting the message hidden within. However, Drake wondered who the man was.
Serenity-called the man a slimeball.
