After the painting was packed, Sebastian saw them off personally and even hailed a taxi for Elizabeth.
Before getting on the car, Elizabeth thanked him again and again, but he said, "It's no bother. Just remember what I said to you just now."
Along the way, Elizabeth was in a daze. She felt that in addition to giving her her painting, Sebastian said those words and cared about her like her acquaintance.
She was not the only one who thought like this. Even Evelyn was aware of it, "Elizabeth, did you know Sebastian before?"
"How could it be possible? Do you think I looked like to know him?"
Evelyn thought about it carefully, and then nodded and said, "That's right." After that, she frowned, pursed her lips and said curiously, "It's really weird, isn't it? He said that he gave you this painting because he thought you understood him, but he looks unemotional and aloof. Oh, no, it should be said that he is even cold to people who know him, but he..."
"I don't know either. Perhaps he really felt happy because he met me who understood him by accident, and then he said those words to me."
"Maybe. But anyway, you didn't suffer a loss." Evelyn smiled and then put her arm around Elizabeth's shoulder, "Now, you've got the painting, and the painter you like even enlightened you. You can't be as depressed as before anymore. Understand?"
Hearing this, Elizabeth smiled faintly and said, "Okay, I understand."
Although she felt guilty and sad for Adele's death, she knew that people around her worried about her so much these days. Adele had died, but she had her own life and home. If she was still mournful, she would not be the only one who was in a low spirit.
"That's good." Evelyn smiled and said, "The school is about to open. I hope I can see a happy Elizabeth after a few days."
They didn't go shopping because they were carrying the painting. They just wanted to take the painting back first.
As soon as they entered the house, Evelyn helped Elizabeth move the painting upstairs. Elizabeth didn't know if James liked this kind of painting. After thinking about it, she chose to put the painting in the room where she had slept before.
After putting down the painting, Evelyn lay on the bed directly, "Elizabeth, what are we going to do next?"
Elizabeth looked at the clock and said, "It's getting late. How about going shopping next time?"
Evelyn lay on the bed and didn't want to move. Hearing this, she nodded, "Well, okay! Originally, I wanted to have one slap-up meal with you. We can only go out and eat another day."
"We can go out another day. Jane is good at cooking. Stay and have dinner here today." Hearing this, Evelyn asked in a hurry, "Hey! Will your husband come back later? If he comes back, I won't eat here." Although she was helping James, she always felt stressed while facing him.
"He won't say anything even if he comes back. Don't worry. He probably won't come back."
Recently, James was very busy, and Elizabeth ate alone most of the time. She would have a good appetite if Evelyn could eat with her.
"I'm not..." Before Evelyn finished speaking, her phone rang. She took it out and have a look, and then frowned immediately. Then she raised it in front of Elizabeth and said, "Look, my mother is calling me again."
As she spoke, she had no choice but to answer the phone, "Hello, mom..."
It was unknown what her mother said to her on the phone. After a while, she hung up the phone, shrugged and said to Elizabeth helplessly, "Whether your husband will come back or not, I can't eat here."
"What's wrong?"
Evelyn sighed helplessly and said, "It's all because of my mother. She asked me to go home."
"It's more than five o'clock now. Are you going back now?"
"Yes, she asked me to go back by the high-speed train."
"Did anything happen?"
