Loving A STRANGER Chapter 535
Advertisement
Many things were going to be sold at the charity auction.
Some noble ladies would put their luxurious handbags or jewelry up for auction. Kylie, however, was unwilling to sell what Ethan had sent her.
Therefore, she decided to create a drawing on her own.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the basic skills of painting, so she had to copy a masterpiece.
She planned to draw splendid sunflowers, but they gradually became rape flowers, then turned to be a mess of bright colors.
"Fine." Kylie was annoyed and put the pen down. "I give it up."
Ethan fastened the buttons of his shirt, walking towards Kylie. He hugged her waist from the back and said with a smile, "I don't know my wife is a fauvism painter."
"I can't put this up for the auction." Kylie turned to help Ethan fasten his tie.
Ethan bent for Kylie's convenience.
"Help me, baby." Kylie acted like a 3-year-old girl.
"What do you want to draw?" Ethan supported Kylie's waist to help her relax.
"Whatever, it's up to you now." Kylie handed the pen to Ethan.
The oil brush turned two circles in Ethan's agile fingers. "How about abstraction?" He observed the drawing for a while before he began to paint. When he focused on painting, he looked like a young, energetic artist.
Kylie stood right by his side. In the beginning, she didn't see what Ethan was going to paint because he used a lot of dark colors.
It didn't seem to be abstraction art, and Kylie even felt a little depressed.
She thought to herself that Ethan might remember some of his unhappy memories.
To Kylie's astonishment, the drawing looked utterly different an hour later under Ethan's help.
The rapeseed fields became a beautiful beach, and layers of mountains were large clouds now with faint moonlight falling from the gaps, which illuminated several shells and a line of footprints on the beach.

"Do you like it?" he said in a deep voice.
Tears welled up in Kylie's eyes. This drawing was the picture of the night when Stephen was caught.
She couldn't tell whether she liked it or not, but her heart ached for Ethan.
She blamed herself for Stephen's death and couldn't sleep well because of it.
Ethan felt for her and had said nothing to tell her to forget Stephen.
He must be in greater pain than her.
If Stephen were still alive, he could still compete against Stephen to get her.
However, Stephen was dead now, and he could never compete against a dead man, nor wipe Stephen's name from Kylie's mind.
"I like you." Kylie threw herself into Ethan's arms. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ignored your feelings."
Ethan patted her back to comfort her. "You're willing to stay by my side. It proves everything. The more you want to forget a person, the better you remember him. Kylie, whatever will be, will be. Take it easy, alright?"
"Sure." Kylie raised a smile and stood on her tiptoes, trying to kiss Ethan. Ethan pressed her waist to stop her from using great force and bent to let her kiss him in a comfortable position.
When their lips touched each other, Kylie closed her eyes to enjoy the familiar sweet smell.
After a long while, she let him go and snorted with laughter. "Oops, I stained your shirt. Put on a new one."
"Your face is also stained." Ethan beamed and carried Kylie up in his arms.
Her hands were covered in oil paint, and she just wiped her eyes.
In the bathroom, Ethan gently cleaned Kylie's face, then walked to the walk-in closet holding her hand. "Help me choose clothes."

"Will you wear whatever I choose?" Kylie wore a broad smile.
"Sure." Ethan nodded.
Therefore, the moment Ethan showed up in the office building of Century Group later, it caused a great sensation. Within three minutes, everyone in the company was aware of his unusual outfit today.
Ethan, who was always in a black suit and white shirt, suddenly put on an orange shirt with a bright blue suit outside. There was also a scarf of bright color on his neck!
The cold man became funny in an instant. Many girls were amused when they saw Ethan's handsome cold face, accompanied by a set of colorful clothing.
Girls made all kinds of excuses to glance at Ethan outside the chairman's office.
Without hesitation, Ethan made an order with an expressionless face. "Tell them whoever dares glance at me or talk about me again in the company will be fired."

The charity auction was held today.
William arrived in the early morning. He helped Kylie open the car door like a gentleman once her car moved in his sight.
Kylie wore an orange trench coat today, which was matched with a pleated dress, which hid her belly well.
The two stood together at the front of the background wall for pictures.
Reporters bombarded Kylie with questions. "Miss Finch, the TV show Oh, Mother you're in is the most popular show now, and you also become a household name. Would you please tell us your next step?"
"We heard you already have a fiancé. Will you soon be married?"
"What's the aim of the Rare Blood Fund?"
"..."
William was very considerate, and he pulled Kylie to stand behind the podium in case those reporters took pictures of her belly.
Kylie took a microphone and answered their questions with a smile, "Well, my next step is to be married, and we'll share this good news with you once the date is settled."
She stopped for a second, then continued, "The aim of Rare Blood Fund is to help those who need rare blood, especially to save their lives. Probably not everyone who needs it can get help, but I'll do my best to make sure that more people could have a helping hand."
Kylie seldom showed up before the media recently, so those reporters kept asking her questions. William interrupted them and joked, "Don't you have any questions about me? I'm also famous, right?"
Reporters were all amused and began to ask William some questions. William seized this chance to publicize his reality show, but he still shared the attention of Kylie at the end. "Well, I must thank Kylie for her great performance in the show. She's my muse."
"You were in a romantic relationship with Kylie before, and now you two work together in the new show. Aren't you worried that her fiancé will be displeased?" a reporter asked with a smile.
William glanced at Kylie, then said with an aggrieved expression, "Don't you know her fiancé is my uncle? Kylie is my aunt, and hold great respect towards her."
