Chapter 717 The Most Beautiful Scene
Martha listened to this and tilted her head in thought before nodding in agreement. Indeed, withStefan's personality, if he were to take action, the finals would probably be postponed to tomorrow.
With that thought in mind, she turned back to continue doing her makeup.
The national painting competition finals had been delayed by half an hour and was now scheduledfor 9:30 AM. They still had time to make it to the venue but Martha needed to finish her makeupfirst.
Stefan saw Martha turn back to continue putting on makeup. His lips pursed slightly as a flash ofsomething crossed his eyes.
In the next second, he turned around and walked towards the living room where he laid outbreakfast that he had just bought. He took out a boiled egg from inside and expertly cracked it openbefore peeling it.novelbin
When Martha came out, there was a peeled boiled egg on her plate along with a glass of milk.There were also sandwich, hamburger and hot dog.
When she saw all this food laid out before them, she blinked slightly, saying in shock, "We can't eatall this."
The man lifted his eyes up at her, indulgently saying "You just need to eat until you're full; if youcan't finish, I'll help."
Martha cutely blinked as she searched through memories, trying to recall how much Stefan ate forbreakfast but couldn't find anything concrete. Oh well - if she couldn't finish, then there was always
Stefan who could help eat what remained anyway, so no worries about wasting food or anything likethat!
Martha pulled out a chair, gracefully sitting down while starting breakfast and asking, "Will youaccompany me for the final?"
"Sure," replied Stefan nonchalantly while picking up one of the sandwich beside him, eating itcasually.
Seeing such an elegant demeanor from him made Martha secretly amazed deep down inside - thisman really maintained his composure regardless of whatever situation!
But then again... she was elegant too, so they matched each other quite well indeed!
Thinking about these things made Martha reach over, taking hold of milk beside her and sippinglightly from it...
By the time they arrived at the venue of National Painting Competition Finals together, it wasalready 9:20 AM, which meant most contestants were already walking towards backstage area andcollecting their tools such as paintbrushes...
Martha's arrival surprised everyone. None of those painters expected such a young woman likeMartha could make it to the finals.
Some people even looked down on her and thought she was just lucky to be there. But little did theyknow how difficult it was to make it this far in the competition.
Soon enough, all the finalists were given their painting tools and supplies. The organizers checkedeverything carefully before giving a thumbs up to start the competition.
The host's voice boomed over the loudspeakers as he welcomed everyone to witness this excitingevent. He explained that they would be broadcasting live throughout the entire process and thatboth judges from National Painting Association and audience votes would determine who wins.
"The judges' scores will account for 60% of total points while audience votes will account for 40%.So, when you see your favorite artist create a masterpiece, don't hesitate to use your voting devicenext to your seat," said the host with enthusiasm.
The crowd erupted with cheers as they eagerly watched each contestant take their place at theireasel. Many fans were hoping that Martha would come out on top since she had so manysupporters in attendance.
Sitting in the front row center was Stefan Harrison - Martha's husband. As soon as she told himabout making it into finals, he sent his assistant out immediately for tickets in the front row seats.Even though tickets were sold out everywhere else, Mr. Harrison didn't mind paying extra just so hecould witness his wife's shining moment firsthand.
He firmly believed that Martha had what it takes to win the first place against all odds but little did heknow almost everyone in attendance was rooting for her too!
After a thunderous applause died down from excited fans; contestants began taking their places ateasels, readying themselves mentally before starting work on creating masterpieces worthy ofwinning such an esteemed award!
As the host said, "Next up, we have the painter, Sunnay." The fans in the audience fell silent for amoment before erupting into enthusiastic cheers.
Over a year ago, Sunnay was holding global art exhibitions and was highly sought after byeveryone. Later on, the world-renowned painter disappeared from public view and rumors circulated
that she had married Mr. Harrison. Countless fans lamented their goddess' retirement from the artworld.
Now, their goddess had returned to the scene and her fans were naturally excited.
Martha took to the stage amidst thunderous applause and cheers from the crowd. She smiled andwaved at everyone before sitting down at her designated easel marked with number twelve.
Soon enough, all of the contestants were seated on stage waiting for instructions from the host, whoannounced their painting topic: paint something related to snow. Martha immediately thought ofJimmy playing in snow during winter days.
Before Jimmy's treatment was completed, he couldn't engage in strenuous activities or catch a cold;otherwise his condition would worsen. If things went well with chemotherapy, it could stabilize hiscondition, but if not, then death would be imminent.
Playing in snow was always an extravagance for Jimmy until he got better.
Every time it snowed outside, Jimmy looked longingly out of his window but knew deep down thathe couldn't go outside or express his disappointment because it would only make things harder forhis mother.
But as Jimmy's mother, how could Martha not see through her son's sadness? So after Jimmyrecovered, she took him out to play in the snow without any worries.
That day, Jimmy laughed happily with bright eyes full of childish innocence and satisfaction - it wasMartha's most beautiful memory about snow.
Therefore, when she heard that they had to paint something related to snow during this competition,that image immediately came into her mind as inspiration.
With this idea firmly planted inside her head, Martha began mixing colors together carefully, whiletrying them out on paper until finally sketching out an outline onto the drawing paper.
As soon as finals began, all eyes were fixed upon each contestant's artwork displayed on largescreens around them. Stefan who sat in the front row was staring intently at Martha with deepaffection.
