“They haven’t changed at all, especially Courtney.


    As an elder, I try to let things go, but she’s just too full of herself,” ine replied, her annoyance evident.


    “And your sister-in-Law-Madisyn made it clear she wasn’t interested, but Sarai kept pushing Courtney to teach her, just to show off her daughter’s talents.


    ”


    Glenn nodded, considering her words.


    “Courtney is talented, so it’s easy to see why she might be a little arrogant.


    But Madisyn has her own strengths, even if they don’t recognize them.


    Let’s not let it get to us.


    If you’re ufortable, we can just keep our distance.


    ”


    He turned to Madisyn as he spoke, and she nodded in quiet agreement.


    Glenn reached out to Hutton, who had just finished his retreat at the temple and agreed to meet with Courtney.


    Excited by the news, Glenn quickly shared it with Rowan, who couldn’t hide his delight.


    ine nced at Glenn and remarked sarcastically, “You really are a good brother.


    ”


    “Well, he’s my only brother, and we don’t connect often.


    It’s important to help each other when we can,” Glenn reassured her with a smile.


    “And I know my wonderful wife won’t be too upset about it, right?”


    ine let out a small huff but didn’t press further.


    She was generally okay with Rowan, but his wife and daughter were a different matter.


    Madisyn, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, as she wasn’t particrly close to them.


    As Madisyn scrolled through her phone, a message popped up.


    “Madisyn, what have you been up totely? Do you think you have some free time to look at my painting? Or, are you too busy?”


    With a sigh, Madisyn examined the painting that was sent, and then she replied, “Wow! You’ve improved a lot.


    ”


    The response came swiftly.


    “You were right.


    My retreat at the temple has brought me so much peace.


    ”


    “That’s good to know!” Madisyn typed back.


    “What about you? Have you been painting at all? I’d love to see what you’re working on.


    ”


    “Unfortunately, I’ve been really busytely,” Madisyn responded.


    “You have such a rare talent for painting.


    You can’t let it go to waste.


    If anything is holding you back, just tell me- I’ll help, whether it’s with money or resources.


    ”


    Madisyn felt slightly guilty.novelbin


    Should she tell him the truth-that she was simply toozy to paint?


    Madisyn had known Hutton for a long time, ever since she was about five years old.


    She recalled a moment from her childhood when she had absentmindedly drawn a picture on the ground.


    Hutton, who had been observing her with an almost unnerving intensity, suddenly erupted with excitement.


    He had dered her a genius on the spot, and begged her to draw something on paper for him.


    At the time, Madisyn had thought he was a bit odd.
