Daniela silently retreated back to the backyard, not hearing Sebastian's last words, "She will always be my wife."
Otherwise, she feared she wouldn't be able to control herself and would end up hitting Sebastian.
Her initial intention was to drive Sebastian away.
Now that Ivan had done it for her, she was too lazy to confront Sebastian.
Vivien, at this moment, didn't even dare to drink her milk tea openly, only cautiously stealing glances at Daniela.
Daniela's expression earlier really scared her.
Her face was so dark, it was like she was about to kill someone.
"Focus. If you brush here again, it will be too late."
Daniela reminded her abruptly.
Vivien snapped back to reality and realized that her stroke would indeed ruin the entire painting's flow.
She wouldn't be able to afford to pay for it even if she sold herself.
Vivien wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, sorry. I'll pay attention, it won't happen again."
Daniela slightly shook her head.
After work, Daniela asked Vivien, "Do you know any real estate agents nearby?"
Vivien hurriedly replied, "I do. There's an agent's shop not far from here, Daniela. I'll take you there, it's on the way."
Although surprised that Daniela was looking for a real estate agent, Vivien still asked, "Daniela, are you going to rent or buy a house?"
Daniela replied as she packed her things, "Rent."
This time Vivien was even more surprised.
That Mr. Romero seemed to be of an extraordinary status, she thought he was Daniela's husband. Why would Daniela need to rent a house then?
Thinking back to Daniela's dark face earlier, Vivien guessed that they must have had a fight.
She didn't know what they were fighting about, but Daniela was so angry. At that moment, she even felt a murderous aura.
Sigh, that Mr. Romero really doesn't know that pregnant women are not to be messed with?
Lost in her thoughts, she heard the sound of footsteps entering, it was Ivan.
"Why rent when buying is more convenient? There are quite a few housing developments nearby, all pretty good. Especially a few good school district houses. You should take a good look at them."
"When the baby is born, you won't have to worry about this anymore."
Daniela knew this was true, but she didn't have much money.
She needed to use the money from selling her paintings to pay for the lawyer's fees.
She also had to set aside some money to deal with the situation after the baby was born.
Buying a house now was not financially feasible.
Ivan smiled and handed her a card, "I almost forgot, your paintings were all sold at the auction yesterday. There's more than three million here, that should be enough for you to buy a house."
"More than three million? That much?" Daniela was startled by the number.
She had only taken out three paintings, they couldn't possibly be sold for a million each.
Could it be that Ivan had secretly given her some money?
She couldn't accept it.
Ivan smiled helplessly, "What are you thinking about? This is really what you earned at yesterday's auction."
"There's nothing else, many people liked your "Rainy Night", and they paid a lot for it. Just this one painting sold for more than two million."
If he hadn't stopped them, two million wouldn't even be enough.
Sebastian and Lucas, two lunatics.
Daniela was too shocked to say anything.
This... This...
Ivan said, "Although the money isn't much, it's enough for you to pay a down payment. If it's not enough, Jones Group has employee loans, you can apply for one."
"That won't be necessary." Daniela took the bank card and softly said, "This is enough."
Naturally, the real estate agent wouldn't be off work at this time, upon hearing that Daniela wanted to buy a house, Toby, the agent that Vivien introduced, was very enthusiastic.
"There are a few good houses nearby now. Like Red Tree Bay, Riverside Manor, and Huijuan Manor, those are all popular listings. Sis, if you're interested, how about we go see the real houses?"
Before Daniela could speak, she heard Ivan ask, "The school districts for these places aren't complete. Are there any others?"
