Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 34

I didn't expect Kelly to play matchmaker for me. Suddenly, the image of Brandon's cold, emotionless face flashed in my mind.

Thinking about his blunt and indifferent refusal to switch rooms with me, I suddenly felt playful. "Sure. Why not?"

Although I had agreed, it was just a casual response. I hadn't seriously considered it.

After breakfast, I borrowed a bicycle from Kelly's house and spent the day leisurely cycling around the small town.

By the time I returned home, it was already evening. I bought an art board since I loved drawing.

Before my parents had passed away, they had enrolled me in dance, painting, and calligraphy classes. They even had me learn the guitar.

Although all these activities had ceased after they were gone, I continued drawing. It was simple anyway. I only needed a pen and a paper.

Besides sightseeing, I drew a picture of the new Amaty. My parents' greatest wish was to come back and see this place, but they could no longer do so. So, decided to draw the present Amaty for them.
