Chapter 22 --22 A painting
It took Elliana thirty minutes to finally draw the rough sketch before she brought some water and started coloring the figures she had drawn so carefully. It was the first drawing of her sketchbook, and she wanted it to look good.
It wasn’t her best piece, but she was satisfied with her artwork. She collected her colors after two hours of painting and arranged them nicely in the bottom area of her closet.
After the drawing dried, she looked at the painting with a smile.
"Mrs. Elliana, would you like to try some desserts?" Elliana heard the chef’s voice from the intercom, and she left the file on the bed before answering a quick yes and leaving the room.
"A chocolate cake?" Elliana widened her eyes before blinking her eyes at the chef.
"I hope I don’t trouble you a lot," Elliana said, and the Chef shook his head.
"You are like my daughter, Mrs. Elliana. You don’t bother me. Rather it fills me with joy when I look at your happy smile after eating the food I cook. I have worked in this kitchen for so many years, but your smile gives me the most satisfaction and the appreciation I was looking for," the chef said, his focus on the dishes.
When the princess didn’t say anything for some time, he looked up at her, only to smile when he saw her dirty mouth.
She was seriously like a kid.
"Wipe that chocolate before sir sees you like this or -" Chef said while walking to the kitchen to bring the napkins that he forgot to put on the table, and Elliana shrugged before taking another mouthful of the cake.
"Are you having snacks?" Sebastian’s voice echoed in the empty dining room, and Elliana froze in her place along with the chef, who contemplated whether he should go out.
