Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 32 Benjamin Was Crushed Again

The bidding device kept ringing.

Seeing that the bidding price for the Tiger Roar painting had reached more than 4.5 million dollars, he fixated his gaze on the pinch of fur on the tiger’s tail.

Perking up his ears, he heard Annalise whispering, “However, its beauty overshines its flaw. Although this pinch of fur is a little willful, it also shows the wildness of the tiger.”

Madeline quirked her eyebrows and raised the corners of her lips. “My disciple is so considerate; even if she’s nitpicking me, I still feel happy,” she mused.

All of a sudden, Benjamin received a message from his grandfather: “Ben, you’re at the auction, right? We’re looking at the Aurora. If there’s any painting by Ezra, bid it for me.”

Hearing that, Benjamin looked at the painting and expressed his dismay. He felt that the pinch of fur on the tiger’s tail was too casual.

Thus, he replied to his grandfather’s message: “There’s a painting by Ezra, but it’s not really good.”

In an instant, his grandfather sent a voice message, saying, “Nonsense. How could Ezra’s painting be bad?” Benjamin immediately took a photo and sent it to his grandfather. Below the photo was a text that read: “Grandpa, look at the fur on the tail. It’s too casual and seems a bit wild.”

Nevertheless, his grandfather was overjoyed and replied: “Good! This is awesome! This is the best Ezra painting I’ve ever seen.”

Thinking of Annalise’s comment, Benjamin inexplicably felt that she had a point. He tried to reason with his grandfather: “But Grandpa, this pinch of hair is indeed a bit too willful and casual.”

The old man laughed loudly in the voice message and commented: “Yes, this is the strong point of Ezra. It’s exactly this casualness that highlights the wildness of this tiger even more. This is superb! When a master reached a certain level, they would completely abandon rules and regulations and stop being prim and proper. As a result, the things they painted would be even more natural.”

Out of the blue, Benjamin thought of Annalise’s comment just now. She said that the painting’s beauty overshone its flaw, and the pinch of fur showed the wildness of the tiger.

“Is she really an expert in painting?” he could not help but wonder.
