You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 522

The day before she went to Three K Art Academy, Zoel asked Lucille to meet him in the gallery.

Lucille entrusted Aurora to Marie and went to the gallery alone, but as soon as she entered the gallery,

Zoel stretched out his head and asked, "Where is Aurora?"

"Aurora? She's at home."

Hearing what she said, Zoel was obviously disappointed. "Why didn't you bring her with you?"

"Well, she constantly wants to sleep and asks for milk. It's inconvenient to take her with me..."

Lucille did not expect him to care so much about Aurora.

"Alright then, I'll visit her the next time."

As he spoke, he walked into the gallery and threw Lucille a huge illustration book.

She caught the book and opened it. It was printed with high-grade paper, but the cover was blank.

There was only one signature on it, and there were many paintings inside.

There were paintings of landscapes, fishes,

birds, and even of humans. Each painting seemed so real. Each stroke made the painting look even

more realistic.

"This is..."

"It's mine. No, it's the dean of Three K Art Academy's album. Take a look at it first, and I'll tell you what

he likes. If he asks you questions tomorrow, don't answer it wrongly."

He was worried that Lucille would be eliminated.

"But I don't know how to paint like this..."

Although she was interested in learning from the masters of Three K Art Academy, ever since she was

young, she had learned sketching, crayons, and even some other forms of art.

The only thing she had never learned was ink painting.

"If you don't know, you can practice. That's why you're going to learn. Besides, he knows every type of

art; it's just that he has more art on ink paintings."

"This is not something that can be learned just by words..."

Lucille was in a bit of a dilemma. Had it been in the past, without Aurora, she would not think that ink

painting was a difficult thing to do.

But now, she had a child. If she did not free up time to accompany Aurora everyday, she would be

unable to study at ease.

'Are you going to give up just like that?"

"I... don't want to give up, but I don't know ink painting. I'm not afraid of starting from scratch, but I have

to accompany Aurora. I can't devote all my time to my studies. I'm afraid that no master will accept

me..."

Lucille told the truth.

"I don't care. It's tomorrow, so you have to go tomorrow. At worst, he won't accept you, that's all."

Zoel understood her concerns. It was said that all women would change after they became mothers. It

seemed to be true.

"Okay," she nodded.

After that, he gave her an introduction to the Three K Art Academy. The person she was going to meet

the following day was the dean. He was also Zoel's grandfather, Ralph Zane. Zoel introduced

everything about him. From his preferences, age, style of painting, his favorite painters, habits, and so

on.

By the time he was done, it was already evening.

"I've explained so much. Shouldn't you thank me by having dinner with me?" He asked tentatively.

"Who's going out for dinner?"

Without waiting for Lucille's reply, Megan's voice was suddenly heard from the doorway.

Lucille turned around and saw that the woman at the door had her long hair tied up casually. She was

wearing a large T-shirt and a pair of jeans. Her dressing style was somewhat similar to Zoel's.

"Megan, why are you here?"

Zoel's expression was somewhat unnatural when he saw her at the door.

Lucille saw Megan's arrival and quickly said, "I think I should leave first. I won't disturb you any longer."

She was in a hurry to go home for Aurora. She had been out for the whole afternoon. It was about time

to go back and see her.

"Wait a minute, Miss Jules." Megan strode towards her and stood in front of her. "I'm the one disturbing.

Maybe I should go."

"No, no, I was just here to ask about Mr. Parker's art academy. Nothing else."

She was a woman too, so Lucille could tell that Megan's feelings for Zoel were more than that of

normal friends. Moreover, she also understood what happened last time. The both of them must have

had something in the past.

"Take a good look, Zoel. You used so much effort to explain the art academy, and you were even

beaten up by her ex-husband. In the end, she doesn't even think much of you."

From her tone, Megan was obviously teasing him.

"That's my business." After she revealed his thoughts, Zoel looked angry.

Megan could tell that Lucille was in a bit of a dilemma, so she took the initiative to reach out her hand

and introduced herself. "Hello, my name is Megan Jefferson, Zoel's ex-wife."

She emphasized the words 'ex-wife'.

Lucille didn't know how to respond.

She looked at Zoel, feeling a little surprised.

She originally thought that Megan was only his ex-girlfriend. She did not expect the two of them to have

been married.

"Are you surprised? Our relationship is not as terrible as you and your ex-husband's." Megan crossed

her arms in front of her chest and observed Lucille. "Zoel, I did not expect your taste to still be the Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

same after such a long time. This girl looks much like me when I was young."

"You can stop talking now."

His expression was a little stiff, and he was not as carefree as he usually was.

"Look at you. Even after so many years, you still like talented girls. Sure enough, your taste in women

is unchanging." Megan did not care about his expression at all. She continued to talk.

"What about you? You've been enjoying yourself abroad for the past few years. Now that you are back,

you want to poke your nose into my affairs again?" He crossed his legs and put on a poker face.

Lucille only stood there, feeling a thorn on her back. She seriously expected the two of them to start a

quarrel, and it was not right for her to leave or to stay. She could only ask tentatively, "Excuse me...

Can I leave first?"

"No!"

"You can't."

The two of them said in unison.

She was speechless.

"Lucille, come, let's have dinner together. Let your senior teach you some experience."

Megan took Lucille's hand. It seemed like she did not exert much strength on her fingers. She gently

put them on Lucille's hand, but her thumb, which was underneath her hand, exerted much strength so

that Lucille couldn't pull it out even if she wanted to.

"Miss Jefferson, I think you've made a mistake. My relationship with Mr. Parker is not what you think it

is."

She said as she cast an imploring look at Zoel.

Unexpectedly, he came over and stood beside Lucille. He looked down at Megan, "Back then, when

you chose to leave me, it means that you have allowed me to start a new life. I do like her, and I am

pursuing her."

"But she doesn't like you."

When Megan heard Zoel's words, her eyes darkened.

"That's her choice. Pursuing her is my freedom," he said it perfectly well.

"Okay, I understand."

Megan lowered her eyelashes slightly. She paused for a moment and then loosened Lucille's hand,

turning to leave.

"Miss Jefferson..."

Lucille wanted to chase after her, but he grabbed her by the collar.

"Forget it. I've made a fool of myself. I'll send you back." After saying that, Zoel turned to get his car

keys.

He had always been a relaxed and childish person, but now, his handsome face was gloomy. It

seemed like he was suppressing some thoughts in his mind. Even the smile on his face was forced.

"No, I will call a cab to send me back," Lucille refused.

"Okay." This time, Zoel did not insist. "See you tomorrow. I will take you to the gallery."

After that, he turned around and returned to the gallery, his figure looking dim.
