Following that statement, Stanley Batton slowly kissed away the tears sliding down her cheeks.
His confession deeply touched Xyla. She threw her arms around the man’s neck and kissed him on his lips. “Thanks for being so nice to me, Stanley.”
“You’re my wife. Of course, I have to be nice to you.”
“But turning the entire city into a rose garden in one night is such a huge project. How much did the manpower and effort cost?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. All you have to do is enjoy its beauty, alright?” He continued, “Keep driving. Let’s go somewhere else to see the roses.”
Nodding in agreement, Xyla started her car again and drove off.
Along the way, all that came into her view was a sea of roses.
“As you can see, the roses are now planted in pots. I’ll have people to move all of them to the soil later on. In the future, you’ll see flowers blooming all over the city when spring comes,” Stanley said again.
Emotions welled up inside Xyla, and she could barely get a hold of herself.
The further she drove, the deeper she sank in her mixed feelings.
Everything in front of her seemed like a dream to her.
Xyla knew that the love she received from Stanley was irreplaceable.
He was willing to do anything for her simply because he loved her.
Even if this was Atlantis!
The flourishing metropolis of Country Z.
As the car traveled around the city, Xyla saw many citizens taking pictures with the red roses on the streets. They looked as excited as her.
“Stanley… Why are you so kind to me?”
“Because you deserve it.”
