How to Tame a Villain Character-Chapter 237: The Painter of Memories In My Life Painting

Harry still didn’t expect to meet the painter Theresia Lim, who had always looked mysterious in everyone’s eyes. Theresia Lim is known as a painter who is embarrassed to show her face, so if everyone wants to look for her photo on social media, everyone will definitely not be able to find it.

For Harry, it was an honor to meet the painter in person, especially since he did not expect his late mother to be close friends with Theresia Lim. Today he got too many surprises on his birthday. Is Theresia Lim’s presence also part of Claudia’s plan?

"If you don’t mind, could you share your opinion about my mother?"

"As long as I was friends with your mother, she also helped me a lot. Thanks to her, my name became famous throughout the world. Actually, at first I was just an ordinary painter. But, because your mother visited my gallery and she saw all my paintings, she helped promote me."

Hearing Theresia’s story, Harry increasingly missed the figure of his late mother who was warm-hearted towards everyone. He was very grateful to hear that other people thought his late mother was a good person.

"The painting Memories In My Life was the last gift she wanted to give you before she died. I heard that the painting is now on display at Fantasia Gallery."

"I was planning to take the painting. The gallery owner told me that I actually had the right to own the painting."

"Actually, I wanted to paint your figure in the painting. But your mother didn’t want me to paint you. Because if you were in the painting too, then the painting wouldn’t look real."

Theresia hugged Harry while patting his back. "Your mother must be very proud to see you today. You deserve the title of honorary hero from King Godfrey."

Today Harry received so many presents that he had trouble sleeping. His eyes were difficult to close because he was already addicted to staring at the sweet smile his wife was currently showing. Claudia also didn’t want to enter the dream world too quickly because she still wanted to see the charming smile her husband showed, which was very rare.

"Harry, did you like all the presents I gave you today?"

Harry laughed happily as he hugged his wife with love. "In the morning I was given a surprise birthday cake and a delicious breakfast, in the afternoon I was named an honorary hero, and in the evening I was able to meet the painter Theresia Lim in person."

"Actually, Theresia Lim’s arrival today was not part of my plan. I only invited Lady Laeticia."

"But, you really didn’t know that Lady Laeticia was good friends with the painter Theresia?"

Claudia nodded innocently. "I really don’t know. In my opinion, this is what is called fate. Actually, your mother and the painter Theresia will meet you indirectly, just waiting for the right moment."

Harry patted his wife’s back rhythmically. "My birthday this year is the happiest birthday I’ve had in almost thirty years. Thank you, Claudia."

"Seeing you today smiling all day, I was very relieved." Claudia stroked her husband’s head.

"The day after tomorrow I will take you to visit my mother. I want to show her the title of honorary hero."

"I also want to show it off to my parents. So far my parents only think of me as the best businesswoman."

"Since your parents and my mother are buried in the same location, we will do it at the same time the day after tomorrow."

Two days later, Harry took Claudia to visit the cemetery, the final resting place for royal families. The first thing they visited was the funeral of Harry’s birth mother. Harry took the honorary hero award certificate while crouching in front of his mother’s gravestone.

"Mom, I came again with my wife. You must miss me because I rarely visit you lately."

Claudia also crouched next to Harry. "I’m sorry I haven’t visited you all this time because I was too focused on preparing for the hero coronation ceremony for your son."

"Mom, two days ago was my birthday. Usually when I have a birthday, everyone doesn’t celebrate my birthday. However, only my wife knows my birth date. On my birthday, she gave me many special surprises. I even met the painter Theresia Lim, one of your close friends." Harry’s eyes started to tear up, making Claudia spontaneously show empathy by hugging him.

"Your mother must be very proud to see you succeed in making everyone in this world proud of you and you deserve to be named an honorary hero."

"This is all thanks to Claudia who gives me love every day. If you were still alive, you would definitely get along with Claudia easily." Harry raised his wife’s left hand which had a proposal ring on her ring finger. "I forgot to tell you one important thing. I will marry Claudia again after divorcing her. Actually, I really regret divorcing her because without her presence in my life it makes me really crazy."

Claudia laughed gracefully as she patted the Duke’s arm. "Mom, this time I will make sure Harry won’t divorce me again. I want to start from the beginning so that our marriage seems more special."

After visiting the funeral of Harry’s biological mother, now they visit the funeral of Claudia’s parents. Harry also placed a bouquet of chrysanthemums on the tombstone while holding Claudia’s hand.

"Father, mother, the purpose of me and Claudia coming to you is apart from showing off the honorary hero award, we want to ask for your blessing again. I want to marry Claudia again after going through all the problems that broke our relationship. You don’t need to worry anymore, I really love Claudia and this time I won’t let her go easily."

Claudia laughed again at her husband’s stiff tone every time he mentioned the word divorce. "You don’t need to be afraid that my parents will scold you, Harry. In fact, they are very grateful to you because you are the only man who can accompany my life and protect me forever."

"Apart from inviting my mother, I also want to invite you to attend our wedding ceremony, even though you can only see us from up there."
