Contrarily, Miley even thought that the child’s facial expression looked more like Marguerite’s
Could she have been mistaken?
Without giving it much thought, Miley immediately drove the two children to the children’s diner in the southern part of the city
The decisive Teresa ordered everyone’s favorite dishes according to her godmother’s and Hayes’ preferences. For herself, she ordered a pizza and chicken wings.
Once the food arrived, Miley started the conversation, “Teresa, have you gotten enough rest recently?”
Teresa, mouth full of chicken wing, replied. “No need to beat around the bush. You want me to take on a portrait commission, don’t you?”
“Well I really couldn’t hide anything from this kid!” Miley thought.
“Will you take it?” Miley asked, hopeful. She quickly answered her own question, “You should take it. Consider it a favor for your godfather!”
Godfather? Did her godmother’s boyfriend send her over?
Teresa recalled something her mom told her about her godfather’s sister going missing
That must be what this was about!
Teresa cleaned her hands and put down her chicken wing. “Since it’s my godfather asking, I’ll definitely help. But before I do, I want to meet him! Call him over!”
Miley was taken aback by how readily Teresa agreed. She quickly sent Robert a message.
[Bring your sister’s photo and come to the location I sent you. I found Terry’]
On the other end, Robert was momentarily stunned when he saw the restaurant name.
It was a children’s diner with Hello Kitty themed. Did Miley get it wrong?
How could Terry possibly be at a children’s restaurant?
However, his sister was his top priority. Robert didn’t think much further, took out his sister’s photo, and rushed over
But when he arrived and saw Miley, Hayes, and Teresa feasting, he was filled with doubt.
“Where’s Terry?” Robert asked hastily
Miley lifted her head, nodding towards Teresa, “Right here.”
Robert looked at Teresa, who was scrutinizing him with her arms folded. She looked like she was evaluating him
“You…are you joking, right?”
Robert stood still as a statue, the corners of his mouth twitching in disbelief.
Miley quickly pulled Robert over to sit next to her
“I knew youd react like this. But I’m not kidding, she really is Terry! She’s the one who helped me with those client requests to recreate people from surveillance footage! I didn’t mean to keep it from you, this little one just asked me to keep it a secret.”
Robert was at a loss for words. Teresa instantly recognized the man before her. Wasn’t he her daddy’s good friend? They had just met yesterday!
So, Teresa snorted dismissively. “Can’t a child be a portrait artist? You want to meet Terry, that’s me!”
How dare he question her?
Meanwhile, Robert was completely dumbfounded
Teresa? Terry? No way! It really was her! Who would have thought that the talented portrait artist he had been looking for was Marguerite’s daughter! Robert felt like he had been hit by a ton of bricks!
And this little girl was happily bragging to Hayes, “Little mute, do you know what a portrait artist does? They can make an old person look young, like how I can sketch what you’ll look like when you’re grown up! And they can recreate people from surveillance footage. It’s okay if you don’t understand. Just remember, I’m an incredible person! Just like you, a genius!”
Being a portrait artist is usually a serious profession, but when attached to Teresa, the contrast was striking as she was just a little girl.
Miley nudged him, “Did you bring your sister’s photo?”
Robert was doubtful of Teresa’s professional skills. Could she really sketch it out?
Even though he was hesitant, Robert still took out his sister’s photo
Who would have thought that Teresa would raise her chin arrogantly and declare, “I changed my mind! I’m not helping you anymore!”
