Chapter 239 I took a deep breath and decided to talk to Mr. Mitchell on an even deeper level. I hoped that I could touch the passion and commitment to garden architecture that was in his heart.
"Mr. Mitchell, do you know something? I've always felt that gardens aren't just made up of architecture and plants. It's more like a moving painting, a world that's rich with emotions and stories.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"As a master of Napellan paintings, you must be able to understand even more about the allure of a perfect merging between art and practicality," I looked intently at Mr. Mitchell, hoping that he could see my dedication and hunger for this project in my eyes.
After Mr. Mitchell heard this, there was a flash in his eyes. He put his teacup down and seemed to sink in deep thought. I lanew that I had touched a sensitive spot. Experts in the academic world wouldn't care about money. That was just a worldly thing to them. They were like drifting icebergs who needed someone who understood them to reach out, I could make them feel understood, and I could also fulfill his wishes.
"Evelyn, you're right. Gardens are paintings and a separate world on their own. Many projects now only see the commercial value of it, but they neglect its value as a piece of art. This pains me." Mr. Mitchell's voice was full of resignation and emotion.
I grabbed the opportunity and continued, "We don't just want to build a building for the Southcliff Shire project. We want to create a traditional Napelian garden that also contains modemized technology and is rich with our country's traditions. We need artists like you to sketch out this beautiful world with your wisdom and passion." There was a flash of interest in Mr. Mitchell's eyes. He looked atand said nothing for a long time.
1 leiew that I was halfway to success. However, I needed a final strike, a reason that would make it impossible for him to retuse.
"Mr. Mirchell, I wish to leam design from you. Although I'm not a professional, I hope that this project can becthe most glorious case study in my future graduation thesis so that it will last for a long time." If the project succeeded, we wouldn't just receive local recognition. We would aim for international awards.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I heard that there are no cases internationally of such excellent, advanced gardens, I'm sure that the success of this project will win us honor and glory both within and outside the country." H He needed the admutation of more people, and he needed his work to reach new levels.
Mr. Mitchell seemed to be persuaded, and he nodded slowly. "Evelyn, your sincerity and determination have persuaded me. I am very willing to participate in t Southelitt Shire project and add my strength to yours," the I took his hand in excitement, my gratitude spilling out wordlessly. I knew that with Mr. Mitchell's addition, the Southcliff Shire project would succeed for sure. It would definitely becan important vessel to pass down and to spread traditional Napelian culture. However, he suddenly sighed. "I'm very sorry, but although I have the heart to do it, I don't have the strength to do so."
Mr. Mitchell's sigh seemed to thump like a hammer on my heart I knew e what he was worried about at once.
је Although he had passion and dedication to garden architecture, there was his age to consider. His health may not permit him to work with the commitment that he had had when he was young gripped his hand tightly and looked at him with determination in my eyes. "You don't have to worry, Mr. Mitchell. We'll prepare the most professional team for you to help you complete this project "Besides, I trust in your experience and wisdom to guide us in the right direction and make this project even more perfect."
There was a comforted look in Mr.
Mitchell's eyes. He looked atand m shook his head on "Evelyn, you arughtful. I very would also like my contribution to this project to be my last hurrah. However, I already have a project on band right now, and it will be difficult forto make time."
