“You’re so talented, Lottie.” Lochlan carefully put away her painting. “I’ll send it for mounting tomorrow. Your painting has improved so much compared to last time.”

“She is very talented.” Ashlyn also put away her own painting.

“She used to buy books to study and practice on her own. She didn’t have a teacher. It’s all self-taught.” Lochlan smiled. “She improved a lot with your help, Ms. Berry.”

“Yes, I can see that. That’s why I said she’s talented.” Ashlyn raised a brow.

Being praised this way, Charlotte’s cheeks heated up as she looked at Ms. Berry with an expectant look on her face. “Ms. Berry, can I keep your painting?”

Spencer couldn’t help himself from blurting out, “Do you know how much Ms. Berry’s paintings are…”

“It’s fine, Spencer,” Ashlyn interrupted him, then took out her painting. After dropping her initials ‘A.B.’ on it, she brought it to Charlotte. “Here, it’s yours now.”

“I’ll definitely treasure it,” Charlotte chirped excitedly.

Lucas was filled with bitter envy. “You have never even painted for me.”

The bitterness in his tone was so apparent everyone around could feel it.

Lochlan’s jaw dropped to the ground as shock overwhelmed him.
