Jay was forced to shift his gaze to the portrait...
Apart from her skillful brushwork, there was not one single merit in her portrait sketch. When viewed separately, the person’s facial features were that of God’s masterpiece, though when they were put together, the result could be said to be that of a scene o f a car accident.
This certainly did not reflect Angeline's standard.
Jay shook his head, pushing back all the complicated thoughts in his mind.
How absurd. How could a rough and shameless woman like Rose be the perfect and beautiful Angeline whom he had taught?
Even professional art students would feel a deep sense of shame when they laid eyes on Angeline’s artwork.
Taking a second look at Rose's portrait now, it was as i f she was trying to draw a flying eagle with its wings outstretched but ended up handing in a drawing of a chick pecking rice instead.
Jay figured that he must have hit his head or gone blind, or maybe he just missed Angeline too much. Maybe that was why he had such a bizarre and absurd illusion.
"Just go!" Jay's head was a mess. He needed to calm down.
Rose made a break for it as though she was given a general pardon.
After the banquet, Josephine brought the three bundles of joy to Jay and said in high spirits, "Jay, your little munchkins made me look really good today. My friends were terribly envious of me!"
Jay stuck the portrait in his hand into Josephine’s face and said, "If I'm not mistaken, I think this person here is your friend?"
Josephine yanked the painting away, taking a glance before tossing it to the ground angrily. "We’re frenemies. When I had a crush on Zayne a few years back, she encouraged me to pursue Zayne but ended u p french kissing him after that."
Jay was not interested in listening to his sister's immature and melodramatic love story. He cut her off straight away. "She sent Rose to Sean's room today. This is one scheming woman right here. It's best if you stay away from her in the future."
Josephine exclaimed in shock, "Oh God. Rose wasn't bullied, was she?"
Jay replied in an unhurried tone, "She has never been better. Gave Sean a beating too."
Josephine immediately expressed her extreme admiration for Rose. "Mighty Rose!"
Baby Robbie picked up the portrait from the ground and pouted. "This is so ugly!"
