Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Although Winnie was not saying anything, she exuded an eye-catching, confident aura.

Hence, the people around didn’t believe her when she said she was not good at painting.

It was hard for them to believe that she was bad at something. After all, she turned out to be the champion of the national chess competition even though she looked casual and relaxed during the chess competition just now.

Nevertheless, Yolanda didn’t believe that Winnie was that impressive.

She felt that one only had limited energy. Thus, she thought that it was impossible for Winnie to master all her skills.

Soon, the two finished preparing their art materials and papers.

For the sake of fairness, Sebastian checked both Yolanda’s and Winnie’s tools before the competition started. After making sure that everything was all right, he started the competition officially.

“I am a doctor. You guys should learn some medical skills from me in the future if you have the opportunity. As a doctor, it is normal for us to witness sickness and death. Therefore, the theme for today’s competition will be ‘Life and Death.’ I want to know your understanding of the topic. Besides, the competition will last for an hour. Now, you guys have one hour to plan and finish your painting. After an hour, you have to stop, regardless of whether you have finished your painting or not. All right. The time starts now!”

As soon as Sebastian finished talking, Yolanda started painting.

She painted her artwork fast. It was as if she had planned what she wanted to draw in her brain long ago.

On the contrary, Winnie continued sitting in her seat motionless. She looked like she didn’t know what to do next.

Josiah, who stood at the side, couldn’t help but frown.

He whispered to Louis, who stood beside him, “That’s unfair to Winnie, isn’t it? Yolanda has been studying medicine for so many years. Naturally, she already has a good understanding of life and death. But then, Winnie has never thought of that. Of course, she would need a lot of time to plan her artwork. Yolanda is painting too fast. That might make Winnie feel pressured.”

Louis lowered his voice, responding, “Mrs. Fairchild looks calm and composed. Perhaps she already has an idea in her mind. Besides, it doesn’t matter if she loses this round. She still has another round left. I’m sure Mrs. Fairchild will win the competition!”

Josiah shot Louis a glance. “What makes you have so much faith in her?”

Louis replied indifferently, “Of course, it’s her aura.”

“Wow! You look even more confident than your Mrs. Fairchild!” Josiah said as he composed himself. “Actually, she’s already the biggest winner in my heart.”

Meanwhile, Winnie didn’t let Josiah and Louis down.

Soon, she started splashing paints on her paper powerfully. Then, she moved her brush around the paper without hesitation. Her movement was smooth and swift. Moreover, she looked like she was very familiar with painting.

Everyone could tell that she was doing freehand painting with only a glance.

Meanwhile, Yolanda was still outlining her painting slowly. It was very evident that she was planning to paint with line art.

However, although that type of painting was more realistic, it required more refined painting skills. Furthermore, it was impossible for anyone to finish such a painting in a short time. At that moment, there were only forty-five minutes left until the end of the round.

Everyone could tell that Yolanda was trying very hard to finish her painting.

Seeing that, Sebastian could not help but frown.

He was overwhelmed with mixed emotions. On one hand, he hoped that Winnie could defeat Yolanda so that Yolanda could accept the outcome and let go of that.

But on the other hand, he didn’t want to see Yolanda get defeated again and again.

Nevertheless, everything was clearly laid out before Sebastian. He had to admit that his granddaughter, Yolanda, had chosen the wrong painting style. It was indeed impossible for her to finish a painting with precise line art in an hour.

Even if she was the reincarnation of a legendary painter, it would still be impossible for her to finish that painting in such a short time.

She didn’t violate the rules and theme of this competition. As we look at the flying mayflies in the painting, we can tell that they have no complaints, even though they can only live for one day. Moreover, they are enthusiastic about their life when they have the chance. Isn’t that such an elegant attitude to deal with death? With that, I announce Winnie as the winner of this round.
