Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife

Chapter 229 “It‘s beautiful. This painting is beautiful!” Madam Carter held the painting in an excited but controlled manner for fear of crumpling it. Sylvia smiled. “Grandmother, this painting is a New Year‘s gift just for you.” Madam Carter clutched the painting tightly with both hands and said in embarrassment, “Oh, that‘s too much!” Sylvia laughed. “I‘m just glad you like it.” “Haha, since it‘s a gift for me, I’ll accept it,” Madam Carter spoke cheerfully and took out another envelope from her side. She took Sylvia‘s hand, placed the envelope in her hand, and said with a smile, “Syl, I specially prepared this for you. Since I received your painting, you have to accept this too.” Sylvia could only say, “Okay. Thank you, Grandmother.” She placed the envelope into her bag.
