Regardless of Damian\u2019s usual demeanor, Eric genuinely liked Scarlett.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He ran over and gave her an enthusiastic hug. \u201cMs. Theron, you look so pretty today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett, who had been feeling somewhat down, smiled more warmly at his compliment. \u201cThank you, Eric.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clara heard Eric too. She turned to look and asked, \u201cAre you here to paint autumn scenes as well?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eric released Scarlett and nodded. \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clara then looked up at Felix and greeted him politely, \u201cHello, Mr. Wilson.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Felix, who rarely smiled and maintained a serious expression, nodded in return. \u201cHello.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett also acknowledged Felix with a slight nod.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clara tugged at Eric\u2019s sleeve. \u201cCome over here and paint with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eric hesitated slightly. It wasn\u2019t that he was afraid of Clara; he just wanted to find a way to notify Damian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite Damian\u2019s sharp tongue, Eric knew very well that he was a genuinely good person. During the most difficult years for his father, it was Damian who had helped them through.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clara pulled at him again. \u201cSit down already! Why are you so stiff? I don\u2019t bite.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eric glanced back at his father and then said to Clara, \u201cOkay, I\u2019ll sit. Stop pulling, you\u2019re going to tear my shirt.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clara rolled her eyes. \u201cSo dramatic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Felix still standing, Scarlett offered with a faint smile, \u201cMr. Wilson, if you don\u2019t mind, you\u2019re welcome to sit on the grass with us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Felix nodded but declined politely. \u201cNo need, thank you. I should make a phone call.\u201d He had understood the look in his son\u2019s eyes. Even if Eric hadn\u2019t signaled, he would have contacted Damian anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett didn\u2019t press further, turning her attention back to guiding Clara with her painting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Felix took out his phone and captured a photo. In the frame, Scarlett, Clara, and Eric were sitting on the grass with an easel before them and the picturesque park in the background.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He had just sent the image when Damian called.\u00a0<\/p>\n
668\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Felix walked some distance away before answering. \u201cWhat is it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian got straight to the point. \u201cYou\u2019re with her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Felix replied flatly, \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian urged, \u201cSend me the location.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay.\u201d After ending the call, Felix sent the park coordinates.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t long before Damian arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And just as Damian appeared, Vincent also showed up on the grass, carrying Vanessa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian stood beside Felix, muttering under his breath, \u201cUgh. He\u2019s everywhere.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Felix smiled faintly without comment, his gaze returning to his son.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett noticed Damian and hesitated about whether to greet him, but then she saw Vincent and the others arriving. In the end, she didn\u2019t end up acknowledging Damian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent also spotted Scarlett and the group. He paused briefly while holding Vanessa but didn\u2019t say anything, simply settling down not far away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After they were seated, Lily set up an easel for Vanessa and handed her a paintbrush.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent had brought a small folding table. He placed his laptop on it and began working, not participating in Vanessa\u2019s painting but focusing on his screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Damian, seeing that Scarlett was ignoring him, didn\u2019t initiate conversation either. Instead, he went over to Eric, glanced at his painting, and said discontentedly, \u201cYou\u2019re doing it wrong.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eric pouted. \u201cThen how should I paint it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian said, \u201cWhy are you painting flowers in an autumn scene? You should paint maple leaves, or maybe goldenrod.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eric said dejectedly, \u201cBut I don\u2019t know how.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Scarlett proactively leaned over. \u201cEric, let me show you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t that she wanted to get close to Damian; she was just concerned he might discourage the child.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Scarlett leaned in, the breeze carried a faint, fresh scent from her. Damian inhaled subtly, the tips of his ears growing w\u00e4rm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Soon, Scarlett had sketched out a goldenrod plant. Both Clara and Eric clapped their hands and praised her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAuntie, you\u2019re amazing!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Theron, you draw so well! The teacher will definitely praise it!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett didn\u2019t think her drawing was particularly special, but the children\u2019s enthusiastic admiration made her slightly embarrassed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She touched her ear and smiled, asking, \u201cIs it really that good?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two children answered in unison, \u201cYes!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mingled with their voices was Damian\u2019s quiet, almost inaudible, \u201cYes.\u201d His voice was so soft it was drowned out by the children\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa could hear the laughter and lively conversation from their group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She held her brush, her hand poised over the paper on her easel, but she didn\u2019t know where to begin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The teacher had said to paint autumn, but what did autumn really look like?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa turned her head. She saw Vincent typing on his computer, and Lily watching a series on her phone with her head down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They were kind to her, but they weren\u2019t truly concerned about whether she could complete her assignment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
