Evelyn Sheldon thought about Michael Jude, who had invited her to view some paintings a few days ago. She had been contemplating whether she was at fault since learning about the news of their broken engagement, so she declined.
Unexpectedly, Michael Jude, who didn't sound too well over the phone, talked with her for a while. A few days later, when she went to the gallery to buy a painting, she saw Michael Jude's assistant standing outside with a few paintings looking very worried. She asked a question, and the assistant told her that Michael Jude instructed him to destroy several paintings in his possession.
With the assistant's consent, Evelyn Sheldon opened up the paintings Michael Jude wanted to destroy and took a look.
"The protagonists in these paintings are all Miss Joseph," she remarked.
There she is, smiling radiantly.
Radiating confidence and flair.
Proud, she stands.
...
From the paintings, she felt Michael Jude's repressed emotions over the past few days.
