inpaint() does not produce expected result. Why?

Here I am trying to remove glare.

This is my original image.
enter image description here

and this is my mask image.
enter image description here

I used the following line of code to use inpaint():

inpaint(image, vthresh, out, 5.0, CV_INPAINT_NS); //CV_INPAINT_TELEA , CV_INPAINT_NS

But I do not understand why I cannot get any effect result using inpaint(). Can anyone please point out the reason? Thanks!

Here you go:

#include "opencv2/highgui.hpp"
#include "opencv2/photo.hpp"

#include <iostream>

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;

int main(int args, char** argv)
{
   //Read the image
   Mat img = imread("/Desktop/apple.png", -1);
   //create inpaint mask the size of original image
   Mat inpaintMask = img.clone();
   //convert mask from rgb to gray
   cv::cvtColor(inpaintMask, inpaintMask, cv::COLOR_RGB2GRAY);
   // convert mask from gray to binary by thresholding, you can play with 170 and 255 args to achieve desired mask
   cv::threshold(inpaintMask, inpaintMask, 170, 255, cv::THRESH_BINARY);
   Mat inpainted;
   //finally call inpaint function and pass the args
   inpaint(img, inpaintMask, inpainted, 3, INPAINT_TELEA);

   imshow("image", img);
   imshow("mask", inpaintMask);
   imshow("inpainted image", inpainted);
   cv::waitKey(0);
}

Edit: Added headers and main function to make it a standalone file
