The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1601

Corinne had never brought Bryan and his siblings on faraway trips because she was worried about their safety. She insisted they should wait until they were older. As a result, the three of them had never gotten the chance to witness mountains or rivers.

He marveled at the paintings and said, "If these are already so beautiful, I can't even imagine how awesome it would look in real life. I wish I could see it in person."

Lilin was reminded of Sophia's 'control freak' nature when she saw his longing expression. Sophia rarely allowed him to venture outside.

He had a very challenging upbringing. As if being taken away from his biological mother right after birth was not bad enough, he had to be raised under the watchful eyes of a heinous stepmother.

"I'm not even that good at art. The painting by my art teacher is so much closer to the actual scenery. Let me show it to you," Lilin said. Since she was too young to take her little nephew to experience those sights in person, she was very keen to share the artwork with him.

She retrieved her painting, selected a piece, and presented it carefully to Bryan.

"Here it is! This was painted by my art teacher. It's more realistic than mine," Lilin said.

"Wow!" Bryan exclaimed. He was completely captivated by the stunning scenery in the painting. It never crossed his mind that such beautiful places existed. At that moment, he resolved to bring his family to see those incredible landscapes in the future. He admired every inch of the painting until he noticed a signature—Nellie Nymphaea.

Bryan's eyes lit up. "Is Nellie Nymphaea your art teacher?"

Bryan was elated to hear that. "Thank you! My Mommy loves Nellie Nymphaea's paintings. She'll be super happy if she gets this!"

Lilin's expression soured as soon as she heard that. "Did you just say you were going to give this painting to your mom?"

"Yeah." Bryan nodded. "She loves Nellie Nymphaea's paintings!"

"Then I'm not going to give it to you," Lilin said. She had a change of heart and immediately took the painting back before returning it to her folder.
