Marrying the Paralyzed Young Master

Chapter 60: Potential

Soma Haruka thought that it was no wonder the loner Masters he had met before were unwilling to reveal their names and claim that they were amateurs. They seem to be amateurs. Now that he had met these two great old artists, his flaws were like endless.

"True to do it that way." Old Man Hadley rubbed the tip of his chin, and his expression slightly eased before revealing a smile once more. "Good work, with this your awkwardness will not be considered as a shortcoming next time. Instead, it becomes your own unique painting style."

It had been a long time since he had seen such potential, and his anxiety had grown stronger. "Do you want to learn to paint from me? Call me a teacher and I'll teach you how to paint properly!"

Soma Haruka was shocked. He wondered why Old Man Hadley suddenly wanted to become his teacher. Thinking back to the teacher he had met by chance in the past, Soma Haruka felt doubtful. He has lived a busy life for a long time. Every second of his life was filled with learning, and he had no time for himself at all. This caused him to instinctively fear when he heard that he had to learn. Especially now she's a wife.

"Based on Old Man, you're so greedy!" Old Madame Hadley was instantly dissatisfied. "Did you forget the first one came to be served? Haruka will be my student! His talent in music is much better than drawing!" It had not been long since they had met, but she had already familiarly called Soma Haruka without her surname.

"Based on Old Grandma, don't you see how lively the painting is?" Old Man Hadley did not give up. "This level of painting skill cannot be obtained without more than thirty years of hard work. He has talent and perseverance. It's a pity if he doesn't learn to paint from me!"

Old Man Hadley looked at his wife with arrogance. "A young girl growing up in the slums who wasn't even twenty yet. However, how could he have decades of painting experience? Art is a profession that burns money from the very beginning. What supported him and allowed him to diligently learn to paint even when it was difficult for him to eat or drink? It must be his love for painting! He's gonna be a painter!"

Old Madame Hadley fell silent, as did Soma Haruka. The elderly couple imagined Soma Haruka's unquenchable love for art despite living in poverty. He must have lived frugally to continue learning the things he liked. When they thought about this, the way the old couple looked at Soma Haruka changed. Their hearts ached when they looked at her, feeling the sadness that the girl had to experience for the sake of art.

Soma Haruka did not know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing the old couple about to fall and slam the table for their quarrel, he quickly tried to mediate them. He said, "Old Lady Hadley and Old Man Hadley, please don't be like this. I have no intention of learning more about the two."

"What did you just say?" Old Man Hadley was surprised. "Do you not know who we are? Do you know how many people are out there offering their homes and cars and begging us to accept them as disciples? And you don't want to learn from us?" Old Man Hadley cornered Soma Haruka furiously.

Soma Haruka had no idea the two really had such a background. Soma Haruka grew up in the busy and reclusive Slum District. After being cheated by her father and living in the Central District, she also has to marry at lightning speed with Daniel Yon and has to take care of the Yon family matters scattered here and there.

He did not know much about the elite people and basic knowledge in this Central District. At first, he thought they were just the parents of Maestro Roseta. However, if what they said was the truth, they might even be more accomplished than Maestro Roseta.

Soma Haruka's eyes sparkled, making the two elderly think that he had thought about it carefully and would become the disciple of one of them. Old Man Hadley raised his head proudly. "Now choose, learn music from Old Grandma or learn to paint from me. Tell me, who did you choose?"

"No, I won't learn from anyone."

Soma Haruka smiled slightly embarrassedly. He looked at the two elders with excited eyes. "I'm not very talented and don't have enough time because I already have a husband. I'm afraid I'll just let you guys down."

He politely poured a cup of tea for the two elders, and he slightly lowered his head. "I have a young brother-in-law and sister-in-law in my new family. The female is Mayuna Yon, her new student Maestro Roseta. I'm sure you two have heard of him. Then the man was Dean Yon, several times I caught him painting in his room, I thought he had a knack for it."

Soma Haruna asked timidly, "I wonder if the two of you are interested in teaching them?"

She was too competent as a sister-in-law. He was constantly thinking about the future of his sisters. For the sake of getting a better education for the children, it was fine for him to humble himself. After all, he could not allow the children to suffer from being stupid.

Grandmother taught him, even if they were poor, they should not skimp on education. So little Soma Haruka always went around to learn how to survive from people who were exiled to the Slum District just like him.

Under her repeated pleas, although they were disappointed, the two agreed to Soma Haruka's request to occasionally guide the two children. They agreed to let Soma Haruka take Dean Yon along when they came back and showed them the talent of his sister-in-law.

Soma Haruna stood up in satisfaction and went to take Mayuna Yon home.

As a national treasure and a world-class artist, the two elders who enjoyed the highest honor in the world looked at each other. They don't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Based on a stupid girl!" as Old Man Hadley smiled, "He does not know how blessed he is. He did not think more for himself, wasting his talent like that. What a stupid girl!"
