from it”
Upon hearing this, Emily chuckled softly, “Can you tell that this is a baby’s handprint?”
Taking a closer look, Camila indeed spotted a baby’s small handprint within the painting, its faint impression filled with joy and happiness.
“Wow…” Camila was so surprised she was momentarily lost for words.
“This was painted the year Peter’s son tumed one.” Emily’s eyes shimmered softly. “While he was painting, his son was playing nearby and accidentally got paint on his hands, which ended up on the canvas.”
“So behind this painting lies such a warm story.” Camila gazed at the faint handprint, almost feeling the joy of new life and familial
bliss.
“Since you like this painting so much, I’ll gift it to you,” Emily said with a smile.
Camila froze, then her lips parted slightly, her voice trembling. “Such a precious gift, I can’t accept it.”
Emily’s smile broadened, her eyes conveying sincere emotions. “Consider it a token of the bond between us.”
“Ms. Emily, thank you for your kindness. I accept your sentiment, but I can’t take this painting. It’s just too valuable.”
Camila firmly refused Emily’s generosity.
“This is not just a painting. It’s also a blessing and a sentiment,” Emily spoke gently, “I believe you will cherish this connection.”
Camila took a deep breath, looking earnestly at Emily. “Ms. Emily, I appreciate your sentiment, but I really can’t accept this painting. I will treasure it as a beautiful memory in my heart.”
Seeing this, a flash of admiration crossed Emily’s eyes. “As long as you understand my intentions.”

She patted Camila’s hand lightly, and feigned annoyance.“This painting is part of Peter’s private collection, and I feel you have a connection with it. If you refuse again, I will be upset.”
Camila blinked, slightly taken aback. “A connection?”
“Yes, indeed. After the exhibition, I’ll send the painting to Connor’s company, and you must not refuse,” Emily stated decisively.
“Alright, thank you, Ms. Emily.” Camila took a deep breath, speaking earnestly, “I will treasure this painting.”
Hearing this, Emily’s face broke into a pleased smile. “That’s more like it.” She patted Camila’s hand again, then suggested, “Let’s
continue our tour together, shall we?”
Camila nodded.
Together, Camila and Emily roamed the art exhibition, each piece resonating deeply with them. Camila remarked, “Art is an expression
of emotion, and it touches the heart.”
Emily nodded profoundly in agreement.
After finishing their tour, Camila offered to take Emily out for a meal.
“You owe me this meal. Connor is coming home for dinner today, and I need to head back,” Emily said with a laugh.
“Alright, Ms. Emily, come dine with me whenever you have time,” Camila said, smiling as she saw Emily off into her car.
Emily smiled and nodded slightly.
At the Passos Estate.
“You gave away ‘The Legacy‘ painting?” Peter asked, puzzled.
“Indeed,” Emily replied, her smile tinged with mystery.
