Chapter 668 Karima’s request
At this moment, the door was closed and John suddenly felt a slight sense of foreboding.
He was getting worried when seeing Alice’s inscrutable expression.
He wondered what Karima’s request was.
He was quite uneasy.
But the scene that happened next made his blood surge up in an instant and his eyes widened in shock.
He saw Karima turn her back to him and took the exquisite traditional costume off her, completely exposing her
flawless figure to him.
Under the dense light, her caramel-colored skin was smooth with a bit of cluster.
John was dumbfounded.
He lost his composure right away.
Karima had a good figure which was evenly matched with Queenie’s. Besides, they shared a similar back.
It was such a visual punch for John.
More importantly, Alice just stood aside without any attempts to stop Karima. Instead, she wore a faint smile when
appreciating Karima’s figure.
John wondered what they were doing.
All of a sudden, he thought of something nasty.
John’s eyes widened in disbelief since he couldn’t believe that Alice would agree to such a thing.
With that thinking, he wished Alice could have told him earlier since she could help him and his other sisters. He
didn’t think she should come all the way here and let this woman in Australia have this precious
opportunity.
John shamelessly used the word ‘precious”.

paint for me.”
“Painting?”
Surprise registered on John’s face.
“Well, I have seen a movie called Titanic before, and I am very envious of the poignant love story of the hero and
heroine in it. I really hope someone can make a painting for me.”
Karima said in a calm voice.
It turned out that she wanted a painting of art.
John’s expression suddenly became a bit weird, and he said, “Miss Suma, I’d love to draw a painting for you but I
must tell you I do freehand figure painting instead of sketch…”
“Mr. Lopez, I know. I have faith in your talent for drawing. I’m sure you will make a perfect work for me. Even if it is
painted in a freehand style, it will definitely be a masterpiece.
“But don’t worry, Mr. Lopez. I will keep it to myself as my best birthday present ever and treasure it.”
Karima said sincerely.
John thought about it seriously, nodded, and said, “I’ll give it a shot. Miss Suma, you can put clothes on. I can draw it
with my imagination.”
“Wow, amazing. John, you should imagine it. Tell me, did you imagine us many times when living with us?”
Alice suddenly approached, blinking her eyes and mocking.
John’s face turned dimmed immediately and explained, “They are two different things. We are talking about art
now. Art is pure without any impurities. Alice, reflect on yourself due to your nasty thoughts.”
Hearing this, Alice curled her lips.
But before Alice could speak, Karima’s voice sounded again, “Since Mr. Lopez pointed out that this is art, I
don’t think I should be seized by shyness anymore.”
She took a deep breath.
She turned around after mustering up the courage, uncovering her lovely figure to John.
Seeing this, John took a deep breath as well.
He had mixed feelings.
Karima blushed, silently walked to the sofa opposite John, lay down on the sidelines, and said, “Mr. Lopez,
please start painting for me.”
Given her movements, John found it hard to make his refusal anymore. He watched her carefully for painting.
He gazed at Karima time after time since many details should be observed carefully before painting them
down.
He scrutinized her all over.
Alice sensed his concentration on watching Karima and said, “Don’t you draw it in the freehand style? Why do
you stare at her so carefully?”
“What do you know? Art is rigorous and serious. Even if you are a freehand artist, you must know it well. Only by
deeply remembering every part of it in your mind can you achieve great success.”
“How high-sounding your explanation is.”
“Forget it, I don’t want to have an argument with a person like you who has a nasty mind. You are not worthy to talk
about art.”
“You…”
Just as Alice was about to lose her temper, Karima spoke to her, “Alice, didn’t you say you don’t mind? If you are
jealous, I will put on my clothes right away. Sorry.”
“Don’t be silly. I won’t be jealous.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlice didn’t want Karima to see her as a green-eyed monster. Plus, it was not a big deal that Karima took off her
clothes and John drew a painting for her.
Karima failed to get Alice’s true meaning and answered, “Oh, well, then you could go and sit next to him for a while
to leave Mr. Lopez alone for painting.”
Alice didn’t make any response instantly.
Alice rolled her eyes, showed a strange smile again, patted John’s shoulder and said, “John, draw well!”
After speaking that, she walked to the side to sit down while waving her tender waist.
John was not at ease.
But not long after that, he put on a serious face and his eyes instantly became clear without any other things when
his eyes fell on the paper in front of him.
He kept telling himself that art was pure.
He said it to himself three times to stress it.
He dipped his quill into his ink.
He started splattering and swooshing on the paper.
His strikes were smooth.
The girl’s charming figure was painted vividly on the paper. It seemed that John had really remembered all the
details, so he could draw in one fell swoop without a moment’s pause.
Some minutes passed by.
John drew the last stroke, exhaled slowly, and said, “It’s done.”
Although Alice always felt strange, the moment she heard John say that the painting was finished, she immediately
rushed forward and was eager to watch it.
At a glance, she was dazzled.
She saw that the image on the rice paper was still in John’s usual freehand style, but the expression of the eyes
could match Karima’s at a glance.
Alice exclaimed, “It’s wonderful!”
