Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 36: Our Heroine has Returned

Mia still had the innocence of a child. Her eyes shone as she spoke, and she was more talkative than she should be.

Perhaps because she dealt with difficult people often, Selena felt unusually relaxed around her. She looked at Mia's drawing without saying a word. Mia sighed with a pen in her hand.

She didn't expect Selena to really offer any constructive criticism, but seeing her suddenly take the pen from the side and make a few changes on the paper, the originally lifeless image suddenly came alive, even the brushstrokes were dynamic. Mia's eyes widened unconsciously, and she rubbed her own eyes.

"You...you just changed the color, right? Oh my god, it's like a completely different painting, are you also trained in painting?"

With such skillful strokes and color correction techniques, it was clear that Selena was an expert.

Selena nodded and put down the paintbrush.

"Actually, your foundation is pretty good, but the color matching is a bit off."

Mia's excited little face turned red, her lips curved into smiles.

"I know, I'm very confident now that you've made these changes. Actually, I was planning on using this painting for a competition, but my mentor asked me to come back and find inspiration. I was going to ask my cousin, but he...and his wife stood me up."

She complained, staring at Selena with bright, shining eyes.

"Thank you. Your name is Selena, right? Where do you live? Can I come visit you often?"

Selena frowned, not because she didn't like Mia, but because she was worried about getting too involved with the Montague family and being seen as having ulterior motives.
