Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 240

Even though I was shifting my focus to art, I still hadn’t abandoned my work. Without inspiration, I couldn’t create good work. So, in order to receive more inspiration, I would drive around and enjoy the view outside.

Creating art wasn’t like completing a mission, where I could just sit in front of my canvas and forced myself to draw. If I did that, the end result would just be terrible. However, I needed to finish my next piece within a month’s time for the next exhibition, and I still had no idea what to draw. I couldn’t take my sweet time like before and remained unaccomplished. I would be undeserving to be Christopher’s partner otherwise.

Since I was bored, I sent a message to Key to update him about my current situation. He was very happy with my achievement so far and encouraged me by providing me with a couple of suggestions for my current piece.

After a while, I typed: It’s been a while since you went online. Did something happen?

It took a long time before Key replied, ”I went to a rather remote area. There was no internet access nor a phone line, and I had to work hard every day to earn money. I have only returned recently.”

If Key is working in such an awful place, his family is probably not that well off. I grinned and asked, ”You know, Avenport is a pretty good place. Even ordinary people like us can find a living there.”

Key sent a couple of stickers depicting a doll grinning maliciously, much like how Christopher often smiled at me. Key then replied, ”If you ever find a suitable man, then just marry him. Don’t become a

spinster. If he asks your hand in marriage, don’t reject it.”

A spinster? I wished but I am a divorcee.

I pouted and typed, ”I’m not a spinster. If you say something like that to a girl, you’re doomed to live a lonely life until the day you die. Understand?”

Key sent me an emoji of a despised look. ”You should go back to drawing now. Don’t be lazy, okay? I’m still waiting for you to be super famous so I could show off to everyone that you’re my friend. If your art failed to make it into every exhibition in the country, then please don’t tell anyone that we are acquainted.”

I held my chin as I wondered. Even if I said I know Key, who would who he is? I don’t even know if he’s a man or woman, or if he’s tall or short. I have never even seen his face before. The only thing I could tell from our conversations is that he’s kind of an airhead.

After going through two more drafts, I put down my brush because it just didn’t feel right. Christopher saw how conflicted I was, so he approached me and put me on his lap before giving me a ticket. “If you don’t know what to draw, how about we get some time off and help you get some inspiration?”

“How can we find inspiration?” I looked at the ticket and noticed it was for a cruise. “Sabrina told me before that she had a ticket for a 10-day cruise. Is this from her?” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Christopher sneered, “I don’t need to take a ticket from her or anyone if I want to go on a cruise. This is a ticket for an S-class package. Once we go on a trip out on the sea, I can guarantee you that inspiration will flow into your mind like a river.”

“But this is a 10-day cruise. Will we make it in time?” I considered.

“Then, just bring your art supplies with you, idiot. You can’t say no to this. You forgot to prepare my present after all, so consider this reimbursement.” He pulled me onto the bed and hugged me tightly.

I didn’t like his muscular chest, so I moved down a little more and lay my head on his soft belly. I then poked his waist and grumbled, “Don’t get too overzealous, Christopher. It’s only your birthday that I forgot. You’ve been reminding me of that fact every day for the past month now. If you do it again, I’m just going to ignore you.”

I was a little pissy about how he still wanted to take advantage of me even after I have already made up for my little blunder.

Christopher suddenly pulled out a small red box from his pocket and opened it up to reveal a ring inside. He lifted it toward me and proposed, “Eve, will you marry me?”
