Then, a few pairs of eyes swept toward Jay. They were waiting to see how he would punish Angeline, this troublemaker.
Angeline smacked her lips and muttered softly, "Isn't i t just an orchid?"
Jay's comic book-like face was very ugly looking. This girl had probably forgotten the origins of this orchid.
It was her who had cried and wailed, wanting to save the orchid 15 years ago. He had comforted her over and over again, saying, "It's just an orchid."
Yet, she cried heart-wrenchingly, louder than those crying mourners. She even cried for a long time.
At last, he was at his wit’s end, so he looked up a lot of knowledge about orchid cultivation. Finally, with his miraculous hands, the orchid was saved.
Only then did she leave it at that.
Remembering the earth-shattering scene of her crying when she was a child, he still had a lingering fear now.
"Save it, or pack up and leave." Jay threw his words coldly and left in his wheelchair.
Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty gave Angeline a gloating smile. "Aunty Whatever, you're on your own now." Then, they ran away.
Angeline sighed repeatedly in annoyance.
Jenson thoughtfully handed her breakfast. "Breakfast."
Angeline was so touched that she almost cried. "Jens, you're so nice."
Jenson’s gaze landed on the flower pot. "This orchid, can you save it?"
Angeline drank the milk in big gulps and ate the bread in big bites while saying with a wailing face," This is Ghost Orchid, the most delicate type of orchid. My hands are brown thumbs. I can't even keep a tortoise alive, so don’t expect me to keep this delicate orchid alive."
Jenson said, "There re many flowers and plants in Fragrant Vessel Court, but my daddy only loves this orchid. The painstaking care he spent on this orchid i s no less than mine. It's no exaggeration to say that m y father is not raising the orchid, but his wife."
After Jenson finished speaking, the corner of his haughty lips lifted slightly as he smiled meaningfully. Then, he left.
