Chapter 18 The Master of Clouds

Queenie was not interested in paintings and calligraphy at all, so she went back first.

On the way to Mr. Johnson house.

Alice was very excited, because Mr. Johnson said that he had just bid a genuine work of the Master of the Clouds, and he would display it tonight.

“Is the Master of the Clouds very powerful?” asked John curiously

“Of course he is!” Alice said.

“He’s a real master. His paintings can express a very wonderful artistic conception with only a few

strokes.”

“What’s more, he’s very mysterious. It is said that no one has seen his real face so far!”

When talking about the Master of Clouds, Alice wouldn’t stop crowing about his achievements.

The Master of Clouds was her idol.

However, John was a little jealous. He pouted his lips and said, “Well, I’d like to see how powerful

he is.”

Hearing what he said, Alice’s smile faded. “John, are you jealous?”

John turned his head and didn’t answer.

Alice comforted him, “Be good, John. I like his work only, not himself. Maybe he is an old man of

seventy or eighty years old.”

“That’s more like it.”

John’s face softened, but a strange feeling arose in his heart.

His feelings for his sisters were very complicated. It was certain that he liked them, but he didn’t

know what kind of love it was.

If he treated them as sisters only, why did he feel kind of sad when Alice said she liked others just

now?

But if it weren’t for the feelings between siblings, how could he deal with the relationship with his seven sisters? Was he going to marry them all?
