“What took you guys so long?”
Surprisingly, Cordelia was still awake when the duo entered the house.
She had finished bathing and was wearing a sheer lace nightgown that barely covered her thighs.
Her fair and smooth legs were totally exposed, looking like a work of art.
Emrys kept his gaze forward like a righteous man.
The next second, Cordelia’s eyes widened. “Rys, your cheek...”
Emrys had forgotten to wipe the red lipstick mark on his left cheek.
With a sheepish giggle, Yelena piped up, “Delia, I’m going to take a bath first.”
Cordelia instantly understood what happened, and a look of jealousy overtook her face.
“You’ve got to be fair. Turn your right cheek to me. Don’t force me to do it myself,” she ordered domineeringly.
The next day, Cordelia and Yelena went to work.
Emrys, who was left at home, dialed a number.
There was no way he would leave last night’s incident at that. He was determined to let those self- conceited punks give Yelena
a sincere apology.
Soon, an exciting piece of news began circulating on the streets of Jadeborough.
Eastfield Auctions would be opening on Tuesday along with the revelation of Emerentius‘ new work.
Once word got out, the collectors‘ circle in Jadeborough broke into chaos..
This was Emerentius‘ long–awaited comeback.
Everyone knew that it had been years since he last released something new. Add that to the fact that he was barely in the public
eye, many people suspected that he might be dead already.
Now, news about a new work from him meant that he was still alive.
Needless to say, this was breaking news to the people in the painting and calligraphy field.
Feeling elated, Lorenzo, Harrison, Rowan, and Patrick each purchased an entry ticket to Eastfield Auctions at once on the
internet.

Even collectors from other cities were eagerly snagging a ticket for themselves. As a result, the tickets were sold out in the blink
of an eye.
By the time Yelena finished entertaining her guests and saw the news, no tickets were left.
Because of that, she was dejected the whole day.
When she returned to Verdant Estate, Emrys led her into a room mysteriously.
“Take a look at this, Lena.”
“Oh my goodness! It’s a ticket to Eastfield Auctions! Oh my gosh! Rys, I love you so much!”
Gone was Yelena’s elegant self as she screamed in delight and gave Emrys another peck on the cheek.
It just so happened that Cordelia witnessed this scene.
With that, Emrys once again earned a matching pair of k*ss marks, one on each cheek.
Although Emrys was unable to utter a word out of exasperation, he did want to tell the two women that they should stop k*ssing
his face as they wanted. After all, he was already a grown
man.
On Tuesday, a huge crowd gathered at Eastfield Auctions.
Excited chatter filled the hall, and the entire place was packed.
This was a scene that could only be found in the concert of the most popular singer in the country.
It was fair to say that Emerentius was the most popular star in the painting and calligraphy field.
When Yelena arrived and saw her seat, she was surprised. “Rys, how did you manage to get this seat?”
She was so over the moon when she got the ticket the day before that she did not notice the seat number.
It was only when she got to Eastfield Auctions that she realized she had the best seat in the whole place.
Not only was the chair comfortable, but it also had the best view of the stage.
The ones who sat in this seat before were renowned painting and calligraphy collectors. It was not a spot that anyone could be
in.
Yelena could already feel countless pairs of eyes on her, their owners wondering which respected collector she was.

“I guess I got lucky!” Emrys answered calmly.
“Yeah, right.” Yelena rolled her eyes at Emrys. “If you’re that lucky, you might as well buy a lottery ticket.”
