“What happened!? I planted the roses with my own hands! That brat ruined all my efforts!”
Darren was so enraged that he was about to go on a ranting spree.
But Julia interrupted and asked in surprise, “You planted the roses yourself?”
How did she miss out on this information?
Darren gritted his teeth and said, “Of course, I planted it myself. Why would I lie to you about it? What’s
the point?!”
Julia gaped in astonishment.
“When did you plant it? How come I did not know?”
Darren pulled a long face and wasn’t in the mood to explain to Julia. He poured out furiously, “Why did
that brat pick my flowers!”
He planted the roses with meticulous care and affection.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe intended to shape the rose shrubs in a heart shape with a specific number of roses for Valentine’s
Day. It would be a shocking surprise, but Gareth fortuitously ruined his plan. How could he not be
angry?
Julia ignored his ranting and probed, “When did you plant these roses? Why didn’t I know about that?”
“Of course you didn’t know.”
Darren deliberately hid it from Julia from the get-go and did not tell anyone about it. He even ensured
nobody saw him plant the roses.
But now?!
Now!
Now!!!
His effort had gone down the drain!
“What’s wrong with Gareth? Why did he pick my roses?!”
Julia was touched and pleasantly surprised at his romantic attempt. She couldn’t help but stare at him.
“Old man, did you mean to surprise me? But even if you told me about it, it would still be a surprise!”
“How can it be the same?!” Darren blushed and disputed.
Despite being furious, Darren was reluctant to admit his intention.
Julia beamed and walked up to Darren. She held his arm and comforted him, “Gareth is not an
outsider. He’s our grandson. He picked your roses for a reason. Let’s go in and talk about it. Look at
you; why are you so upset? Forget about all the romantic stunts. We’ve been a married couple for
decades.”
To Julia, seeing the young ones well and happy was all she wanted. But Julia didn’t say anything
because she knew Darren wasn’t fond of Elisa.
“Then why did he pick the roses?” Darren was still confused.
Julia pulled a straight face. The media would publicize it, and eventually, Darren would come to know
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmabout it anyway. Since he had been relentlessly asking for a reason, why not just tell him straight
away?
Julia divulged softly, “Because our grandson is in love with someone.”
Darren got excited and asked with anticipation, “Who is it? Is it the daughter of the Tabor family?”
His eyes were glistening with hope. It was apparent that he would rest his case if it were for Nicole, for
which Gareth picked his roses.
But Julia cringed at the name, and all her tactile affections vanished in a blink of an eye.
“Why do you only care about that girl from the Tabor family?” Julia was unhappy.
Darren could sense that something was wrong. His heart sank to the bottom. “If it’s not for that girl from
the Tabor family, then who is it for!”
Julia also lost her temper, “Why do you care?!”
