Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Vania was concerned as she found the place empty after she took a look around at her surroundings. “Did you two come together with your family? Why are the two of you here by yourselves? It’s very dangerous for children to be sitting by the pool unsupervised.”

Her concern startled the two cute little children, but they still nodded to her wordlessly as a form of reply.

She did not feel awkward with their interaction. In fact, she felt a sense of intimacy with them that made her want to be in their company for a little while longer. She was laughing at herself in her head for feeling like this. Perhaps this feeling of hers was due to her intense longing for those two children of hers.

Her smile grew wider as she pointed at the drawing board in the children’s hands. “Can I have a look at your drawings? I’d say I’m fairly good at drawing myself.”

The children met each other’s eyes before they slowly handed their drawing board to Vania. With a smile from the bottom of her heart, she seized the opportunity and went to the children’s side.

After noticing the realistic drawing of a flower on the board, she praised in awe, “This drawing is so excellent. Looks like someone here is going to be an excellent painter in the future.”

Then, the round-faced child explained in a soft yet proud tone, “My brother can draw even better than this. He even taught me how to be better at drawing, so I’ll definitely be better at it in the future.”

“Oh really? You two are amazing!” Vania gave the two children a thumbs up. “You two are the most talented children I have ever seen. Even I myself wasn’t as good as you two when I was your age.”

She wasn’t exaggerating. Due to her talent for the arts, there were not many that were deemed worthy of her praise.

Furthermore, she had wanted her own children to have an interest in inheriting her legacy. Yet, none of the three children back home showed any interest in the art.

Her fondness for the two lovely children grew when she noticed they were gifted in drawing.
