Chapter 1208: Chapter 1235: Do You Like It? (1)

Mina Lee glanced at her with disdain, "What’s so bad about it? That girl, Camden River, must be bullying her at home."

Bullying?

Where does that come from?

Mia Ginger chuckled helplessly, "Camden River isn’t as scary as you think."

"Exactly. The emperor isn’t worried, yet the eunuchs are panicking." Roy Anders leaned in seriously, "In my opinion, this kind of thing requires mutual consent, matters of the heart can’t be rushed, time will take care of it, don’t mess it up!"

Mina Lee glared at him, suddenly pouted, and fell silent.

She’s always liked Roy Anders, naturally aware that he actually likes Mia Ginger. Even though they’re together now, it’s hard not to feel a twinge of jealousy now and then.

But Mia’s excellence is undeniable. She’s out of reach, not just for Mina, but for Roy too.

Thinking about this, Mina suddenly came to her senses and pinched his arm.

Roy Anders yelped and jumped away, while she leaned closer to Mia Ginger and whispered mysteriously, "Actually, you don’t need to do anything, just don’t side with Camden River. You two have a good relationship, if you give us a hand, it’ll be fun."

Mia Ginger still hesitated, "Wouldn’t that make her feel awkward?"

"It’s precisely because she’s like that, she needs a divine assist from me."

Mia Ginger: "..."

After a while, she could only nod, "Alright."

"It’s a deal then."

Mina Lee chuckled as they chatted, and the doorbell rang again.

Camden River had invited Jacob Quinn and some other close friends. They joked around for a while, and soon it was six in the evening. Mina helped Tong Tong in the kitchen, preparing hot pot for everyone to enjoy at home.

Mia Ginger couldn’t help in the kitchen, so she sat with Maeve on the sofa watching TV.

The television was showing a campus romance drama. The female lead, an art student, walked through bustling crowds after class with her sketch pad, long hair flowing, white dress fluttering, creating a beautiful and romantic scene.

"Sister Mia."

Maeve suddenly turned her head to call out to her.

"What is it?" Mia Ginger patted her head, smiling as she asked, "Are you bored? Want some more fruit?"

"No." Maeve quickly shook her head, thinking for a moment, and then said thoughtfully, "I think girls who learn painting are so pretty. I want to learn too. What do you think?"

"Painting?"

"Yeah, I have a lot of free time usually."

Recently, she had been quite troubled, feeling like her memories were dreams.

The grown-up version of herself, standing tall, and the Caiden Ward she did not quite understand later, all seemed like dreams, perhaps forgotten after another sleep.

Afraid to document them, reluctant to speak of them, maybe she could try learning how to paint, capturing those dream-like scenes. It wasn’t a hard reason to imagine—a vision of what they’d be in years to come.

Maeve drifted into thought, zoning out.

Mia Ginger noticed her unusual demeanor, feeling an indescribable ache in her heart.

She gently touched Maeve’s soft hair, expressing kindly with a smile, "If you want to learn, of course, you can. Let your uncle hire you an art teacher."

"Uncle Kari?"

Maeve looked at her with a dazed expression.

"Yes." Mia Ginger glanced at her, hesitating, "Why? Is he usually busy?"

"No," Maeve smiled, "I understand."
