When the Book–Traveling Girl Meets the Reborn Girl
Chapter 536 A Sudden Turn of Events
<b>+8 </b><b>Pearls </b>
By chance, Jean learned that Sienna had recently be obsessed with a particr artist, she <b>greatly </b>admired his work.
But this so–called master had a notoriously entric temperament; Jean went through a great deal of trouble just to get in touch with him.
Her original intention was to strike a deal, she wanted him to paint something personally, a piece she could gift to Sienna. She was willing to pay generously for it.
Money wasn’t an issue; Jean had saved quite a bit over the years. Though she needed to be mindful of her future and finances, she had never been stingy. When it mattered, she didn’t hesitate to spend.
In her heart, she had long seen Sienna as her closest family. To make her birthday special, to coax even a single smile from her, spending a little money felt entirely worth it…
But the master didn’t seem interested in money.
Even after Jean offered an enticing amount, he remained unmoved–his attitude toward her was even rather indifferent.
Jean kept her patience and tried to reason with the strange man.
But all her efforts failed; he just wouldn’t agree.
<i>Maybe </i><i>this </i>is <i>what </i><i>they </i><i>call </i><i>an </i><i>artist’s </i><i>pride</i><i>, </i><i>above </i><i>worldly </i><i>wealth</i><i>. </i>Jean had no choice but to give up.
Sienna’s birthday was fast approaching–she couldn’t put all her hopes on this one option.
If this didn’t work out, she had to prepare something else….
Just as Jean was searching for a different gift, the artist unexpectedly reached out to her on his own.
He said he had reconsidered, and changed his mind. <i>Jean</i><i>? </i>So <i>the </i><i>master </i><i>was </i><i>this </i><i>capricious</i><i>? </i>
She hadn’t expected such a sudden turn of events, but now the artist was willing to make a deal after all.
Once the painting waspleted, it was mailed directly to the school, just as the two of them had agreed in advance.
Though the process had been filled with twists and turns, the painting had finallynded in Jean’s hands.
She only opened the outer packaging; inside, the artwork was still wrapped in exquisite paper, its conten hidden from view.
Jean had never made any specific requests regarding what the artist should paint.
She wanted him to create fréely, without restrictions.
So truthfully, Jean had no idea what the painting looked like.
She was curious, of course, but she didn’t want to open it now and take a <b>peek</b>.
She wanted Sienna to be the first to <b>see </b>it<b>–</b>wanted to experience <b>the </b><b>surprise </b><b>together </b><b>with </b><b>her </b><b>mom</b><b>. </b>

She was saving the big reveal for Sienna’s actual birthday–she wanted to give it to her in person <b>as </b><b>a </b><b>gift</b>. For now, it was best kept a secret.
As for this birthday, Sienna had originally nned to keep things simple.
She didn’t want anything extravagant or wasteful.
But Dominic didn’t listen, he insisted on throwing her a grand party.
Jean agreed it should be a big celebration. After all, this was one of the few chances all year to truly <b>enjoy </b>themselves.
No matter how busy her brothers were, they would definitely make time toe home.
Jean ced the painting on the sofa in her bedroom; every time she passed by and caught a glimpse of it, she felt a familiar itch in her chest.
She wanted so badly to tear it open and take a look.
But in the end, she held back.
Finally, the day of Sienna’s birthday banquet arrived. The entire Ginger family estate was filled with lively, celebratory energy.
Not only had her brothers returned, but many of irford’s elites also came to attend.
