Chapter 317
Wayne had never been a fan of crowded places. Upon entering the exhibit, he glanced at the crowd
and instinctively frowned
Meanwhile, Rosalynn was in the backstage, wanting to take Ivy and Cory away.
“Ms. Jared, the exhibition has already started… All the artists are here, and Ivy’s absence won’t be
good… What if someone wants to buy Ivy’s painting?” The exhibition manager wore a troubled
expression.
“Mommy, I don’t want to leave!”
Ivy clung to Rosalynn’s fingers, looking pitiful.
Rosalynn: ”
“Ivy, gimme a second, okay? Let me chat with Mom for a bit!”
Paige pulled Rosalynn into an office.
Before Paige could ask, Rosalynn spoke first: “Wayne and Olivia are here.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPaige was taken aback.
Since Wayne had already met Ivy, she didn’t think much of it: “What are you scared of? Ivy may look
like both you and him, but… There are tons of people in the world who look similar, why should that jerk
couple ruin my goddaughter’s good mood?”
Ivy was genuinely happy today. The two paintings she exhibited held significant meanings for her.
Another reason was that the exhibition manager had told her that the money from today’s sold
paintings would go towards schools for children who couldn’t afford to study.
This meant even more to Ivy.
Rosalynn would often take Ivy and Cory to watch meaningful documentaries.
From those documentaries, Ivy had learned that not all children in the world were as fortunate as her.
Some children had lost their parents at a very young age. They lived in terrible conditions with food
shortage. They had no clothes to wear and no books to read.
Helping these children was one of Ivy’s wishes.
“I’m just worried…”
“Don’t worry!” Paige patted her shoulder.
She thought to herself that Wayne had even held and fed Ivy without having any suspicions.
“Just to be safe, let Laura accompany Ivy outside, and we’ll wait backstage.” Rosalynn eventually
compromised.
“Got it.” Paige nodded, then went out to talk to the exhibition manager.
When Rosalynn went over, she saw Ivy excitedly jumping around like a little bird.
She smiled softly. Maybe She was just being overly nervous.
Wayne was so self–absorbed. With Olivia by his side, there was no way he’d pay attention to anything
else.
Speaking of which…She kind of jinxed herself, huh? xo.com fast update
Just a few days ago, she was thinking that Wayne didn’t like crowded places like exhibitions so she
wouldn’t encounter him there. Yeah…Wayne didn’t like art exhibitions. But Olivia used to be a painter…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe didn’t like exhibitions in the past because of Olivia.
Now he was attending an exhibition still because of Olivia.
Olivia was like the key that unlocked Wayne.
The one and only key.
“What are you thinking about?” Paige snapped her fingers in front of her face.
Rosalynn came back to her senses. She noticed Cory and Paige were both staring at her.
“What?” Rosalynn asked
“Cory asked if you wanted some chocolate!”
“Sweetie, Mommy doesn’t want any. It’s yours..” Rosalynn caressed Cory’s cheek.
It was really amazing.
Cory and Ivy obviously looked alike..
But Cory looked even more like Wayne.
“Oh.” Cory acknowledged but didn’t eat the chocolate either. Instead, he picked up his game console
and started playing.
The screen of the TV in the break room showed the big screen at the exhibition. The auction was about
to start.
