Chapter 758 Flowers And Plants

Mark raised an eyebrow. “Yes. So, can you get lost?” Zoey’s husband finally got up from the couch. “Fine, I’ll leave right now. As long as there’s money, everything will go smoothly. Wouldn’t it be so much easier if you’d done this earlier? It would have saved me a trip here. Since Zoey has refused the money, there’s no need for you to tell her about my visit today. I’ll be my way now, nephew-in-law.” Mark did not deign to answer him. He could tell that it would not be the last of that fellow now that he had a taste of easy money. Arianne was currently pregnant so it was best for him to keep things quiet. That $750,000 should be enough to hold that man off for a while. When Arianne safely delivered the baby, he would no longer tolerate this. After a while, he said to Davy, “Change the couch and coffee table. Disinfect everything in the office.” ... At the end of the month, Alejandro finally returned from abroad. The first thing he did was to organize a press conference to officially announce his move to the capital. The scars on his face could no longer be seen so he no longer wore a mask. This was Tiffany’s first time seeing his face in all its glory. Disregarding the fact that he was wheelchair-bound, he was rather good looking. She was at a loss for words. The only way to describe Alejandro was; fair, delicate, refined, and outstanding. Personality-wise, he seemed street smart to her. He might be smiling all the time, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He spoke in an even and measured tone that hid his emotions well. His voice… She found it difficult to describe when she first heard it. It sounded slightly… intimidating. However, paired with his handsome face, it gave him a magnetic and brooding air. It could be considered as a good trait. She had received a present from him. Most men would send bouquets of flowers that were exquisitely wrapped from the florist. However, he had given her a plant. The kind that only had leaves, and its species was indeterminable to her. He even left her a message telling her not to kill it. Apparently, he had been taking care of it for many years now but was unsuccessful. He had hoped she would be able to revive it. She had stared at the plant, utterly speechless. He, a free and unfettered man, was unable to revive this plant so how could she, a woman with a 9-to-5 job, possibly have the time to revive the plant? For this reason, the day after she received the plant, she had pushed it over to Tanya. Tanya was a meticulous person and seemed better suited for gardening. On the other, a clumsy person like her was not suitable for gardening at all. … The next day, after work, she visited Summer at the West Residence. As the old Chinese saying went, ‘It takes a hundred days for bones to knit and tendons to grow’. Summer had been cooped up at home, unable to leave the house. Her hip injury was not too bad, but she had to wear a cast on her ankle. Unexpectedly, Jackson was there as well. The man who had vehemently refused to come home was finally home. After all, his mother was hurt. At least, he had a conscience. Atticus had returned from Ayashe as well. For the first time ever, both father and son tacitly agreed to revolve themselves around Summer. They fed her and took care of her. Atticus had even carefully massaged Summer’s legs. This made for an awkward sight for outsiders. Summer kindly invited Tiffany to sit down. “Tiffie, please have a seat. Would you like some fruit juice or coffee? Jackson will get it for you.” Tiffany smiled awkwardly. “No need, no need. I thought I’d drop by after work just to have a look. You seem to be recovering well. I’ll be leaving now if there’s nothing else…” Summer’s expression darkened. “Since you’re already here, stay and have dinner. Mr. West is as stiff as a puppet, and Jackson is rarely home. I have no one to talk to. Just stay and relieve my boredom. Please? For me?”
