Chapter 71 The Cousin Lvan Carter

Lvan Carter gently poked on Nancy's soft face with his long and fair finger, and there was immediately a fossa appearing on Nancy's face. Besides, his cousin smelled so nice that he would never be tired of holding her in the arms.

When the elders came, what they saw was that these two people were getting along well with each other.

"Nancy, you have woken up in such short time when we played a game of chess."

Aunt looked at Nancy with a guilt. "Aunt should have taken care of you."

They just played chess and drunk tea in the room not far away. They didn't go too far, but nobody expected Nancy to wake up so quickly.

Nancy shook her head shyly and said softly: "It's me who forgot to call Mom and Dad."

"Are you scared?"

Several elders gathered to show concerns for her.

The little girl shook her head, "No."

"You're lying, because you have cried."

Lvan pinched Nancy's little face, "You looks so pitiful."

Hearing these words, James Brook and Windy felt even more distressed. Nancy didn't want them to worry. Therefore, she held their hands in her arms to act cute, and then finally distract their attention.

"Mom, aren't you surprised when you see me?"

Lvan put down his drawing board and looked at his parents with a big smile. The good-looking boy could easily make people like him, and the elders in the family were no exception.

"I know you well. It's impossible for you to come back tomorrow as scheduled."

Lvan laughed and sat down to talk with them for a while. Then, he held Nancy in arms.

"Aunt, Uncle, I want to take Nancy to have fun."

Nancy was blank. She looked so obedient that she even didn't refuse.

"Ok, take care of your sister."

"I will."

Lvan quickly went upstairs with Nancy taken in one arm and his drawing board in the other hand.

Entering into Lvan's room, Nancy was attracted by those large and small oil paintings hanging on the wall. Among them, many of which were about landscapes, including the beautiful snow mountains shone by the warm and golden sunlight, the waterfall which was like a wonderland under the rainbow, and a slim lotus drawn in details. For Nancy, every painting is a visual feast.

After walking into his room with Nancy, Lvan directly went upstairs to the small attic, and then opened the curtains. There was a huge floor-to-ceiling window through which one could clearly see the scenery outside the room.

This small attic was the place where Lvan drew his paintings. The arrangement was very simple. The paints, brushes and paper used for painting all were neatly placed in the wooden cabinet against the wall. In the middle, there was a bracket for the drawing board and a stool. In this room, the most attractive things must be the paintings hanging on the walls.

Different from the paintings in the bedroom downstairs, which were all relatively small in size, the paintings here were very large.

The most conspicuous one in the middle was a ginkgo tree that was more than 6.5 feet high. Nancy immediately recognized that this tree was the one in the outside courtyard.

At first glance, it seemed that the ginkgo tree in the painting was real. The yellowed leaves gave people the feelings of autumn. Nancy seemed to be back to the day when she first came here, standing in the courtyard to admire this big ginkgo tree.

There was another painting not far from the ginkgo tree. It was an elegant beauty in a cheongsam with patterns of blue and white porcelain. She stood in front of the reddish-brown window in ancient style, only showing a small half of her face to people, but people still could feel her demureness from the painting.

No one would dislike such kind of beauty!

"She was aunt."

Nancy looked at the beauty in cheongsam who was as tall as real one and called her sweetly. Although there was only a small half of face could be seen, Nancy could still recognize who the woman was in painting.
