Chapter 1246: Finley Sutherland, You’re a Bad Guy!
Daisy Grant whispered to Ariel Morris, "What’s going on? Is the marriage arrangement between the Shi and Zhang families really over?"Ariel Morris sighed, "The Shi-Zhang marriage arrangement has already been scheduled by Grandpa and Uncle, and it will be finalized in a few days. But the entanglement between Nicole and Jose Floyd... forget it, let’s not talk about their issues; it’s too complicated. Ryan, go upstairs and see what your sister and Finley are doing."
Ryan nodded and headed towards the stairs.
Not long after Ryan went up, Ariel Morris and Daisy Grant heard his voice coming from downstairs.
"Iris... let go! Let go! Finley is your brother!...."
Ariel Morris and Daisy Grant quickly went upstairs, knowing the two kids were arguing.
When they got upstairs, they saw the studio was a mess, with paint and supplies scattered everywhere. Finley was covered in paint, while Iris Seys held a paint box, glaring angrily at Finley.
"What happened?" Ariel Morris looked at the oldest child, Ryan Seys.
Ryan hesitated for a moment, looking at his sister, and replied softly, "Iris poured paint on Finley."
"Iris," Ariel Morris turned her gaze to Iris Seys, looking at the paint-stained clothes on Finley with inquiry.
Iris Seys’ eyes were somewhat reddened, her fingers tightened around the paint box, "Finley, you are a bad person!"
Finley Sutherland looked at Iris Seys coldly, "It’s just a painting, Iris Seys."
"Touch my painting again, and I’ll pour all the paint on you!"
Daisy Grant looked at the painting in the frame, a picture of a little girl with a sweet smile, clearly a portrait of Iris Seys.
But the painting had a deliberately left mark, ruining its beauty.
Daisy Grant observed everything in the room, pieced together some clues from the children’s words and expressions, and turned her gaze to her child Finley, "Finley, did you do something to Iris’ painting?"
Finley still looked cold, "The painting was ugly anyway!"
Finley’s indifferent and unrepentant words made Iris Seys explode, "Finley, I never want to play with you again! I will not forgive you!"
Daisy Grant looked at Finley reproachfully, then turned to the furious Iris Seys with warmth, "Iris, don’t be angry. If you like, when Finley learns to paint, how about letting him gift you a painting as an apology?"
"If it’s not painted by Brother Hanson, I don’t want it! I don’t want Finley’s paintings!" Iris Seys gathered her small picture frame, angrily hugged the painting, and walked out of the studio.
Daisy Grant looked apologetically at Ariel Morris, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Ariel Morris shook her head, "It’s okay. Iris’ temper only lasts for a moment, and she’ll calm down soon. This painting was given to her by the boy, Ridy Hanson, who rescued her during her kidnapping, so she cherishes it especially. Finley messed with her painting today, which made her so angry. If Ryan had done it, Iris would probably have started a fight with him already. She treasures that painting very much, so it’s important that Finley remembers not to mess with Iris’ painting in the future; it’s really important to her."
Daisy Grant looked at her son gently, "Did you hear that? Iris cares a lot about this painting. You can’t mess with her painting in the future. When you learn to paint, remember to create a piece to compensate Iris."
Ariel Morris looked at Ryan and Finley, "I’ll have someone come up later to clean up the things on the floor. Finley, I’ll take you to change into some clothes. You can wear Ryan’s new clothes, as the ones you’re wearing have been ruined by the paint."
Ariel Morris helped Finley change into a set of clothes and looked at Finley’s perfectly impeccable features with a smile, then turned to Daisy Grant with a smile, "Finley is so handsome, what a majestic appearance he’ll have when he grows up!"
