Chapter 28
Hearing the compliment, Yvonne felt a little embarrassed. I’m really not that amazing, the thought. I only make Berners grow
faster and bloom more beautifully, but that’s about it?
Seeing how much Jeremy liked the flowers, Yvonne spent some time before bed channeling a bit of manager into for ones
arranged in the vase on the table.
Lately, all Yvonne’s attention had been on the three potted plants she was growing, and it had been a while since she’d done this
for other flowers.
Yvonne had originally planned to give the flowers to her brother the next morning, but she ended up sleeping in. By the ime she
woke up, Jeremy had already left for school, and Kelvin was gone too.
Downstairs, the maids had finished their work and were chatting in the break area,
“Ms. Alder’s room had that sweet scent again today,” one of them said,
“Yeah, it smells just like those gorgeous flowers from a few days ago. The fragrance is incredible. I kept finding excuses to walk
past her room just to smell it,” another chimed in.
“Didn’t Mr. Holmes come by the other day for those flowers too?”
Just as they were talking about him, lan arrived. He walked into the Adler estate as if it were his own, and the staff all recognized
him.
Taking his time, lan strolled through the small garden, looking more at home than Kelvin ever did. The passing maids stopped to
greet him respectfully.
lan nodded. “Don’t mind me, go on with your work.”
Ian was planning to stay in Blorence City for a few days, visiting the Adler family purely for fun while also keeping an eye out for
the flowers he wanted.
Honestly, lan hadn’t expected much today, so he took his time wandering around the garden first.
But as soon as Ian stepped into the living room, a faint floral scent drifted into his nose. His eyes lit up instantly, scanning the
room like a man on a mission.
‘No mistake–this’s the scent I’ve been thinking about nonstop!‘ Ian thought. Catching sight of a maid heading out, he stopped
her. “Where’s that scent coming from?”
Hearing that, Ian didn’t hesitate for a second. He went straight up. He reached the door the maid had pointed out and was just
about to knock when it swung open from the inside.
The moment the door opened, the fragrance became even stronger, filling the air with its soothing aroma. Ian squinted in
satisfaction slightly, then looked down–right into a pair of big, curious eyes peeking out.
“Mr. Holmes?” Yvonne tilted her head, blinking up at him in confusion. Her soft, sweet voice was filled with surprise. “V are you
here?”
Ian smiled like a wolf eyeing an innocent little rabbit. “Yvonne, can I take a look inside your room?” he asked, his voice warm and
coaxing.
Without a second thought, Yvonne stepped aside and let him in. The window on the bedroom’s balcony was still open, but the
floral scent inside was still overwhelming.

even doing in a kid’s room. But when he saw the flowers, everything clicked
“Yvonne, Victor said, “can 1 come in and take a look?”
“Of course!” Yvonne replied. She was soft–hearted and easygoing, As long as someone spoke to her nicely, she never said no
“What are you doing here?” lan looked up, surprise flashing in his eyes. Then, a sense of danger crept up his spine.
‘Shit. I was too slow. He’s here to fight me for the flowers, lan though.
“These belong to Yvonne?” Victor asked.
Ian nodded, his eyes still filled with caution.
After lan confirmed it, a glint flashed through Victor’s eyes. He locked eyes with Ian and gave a smile that didn’t quite reach his
eyes. “And where exactly do you think you’re taking them?”
Ian’s sense of foreboding deepened. Clutching the jasmine tightly, he pulled it back into his arms and said, ‘I already asked
Yvonne, and she said she’s giving them to me. So what’s it to you where I take them?”
Victor’s stomach sank. He turned to Yvonne, who looked utterly lost. “Yvonne, you gave him these flowers?”
Feeling the weight of his gaze, Yvonne nodded hesitantly. Her voice was small and unsure. “Y–Yeah...”
Hearing this, Ian smirked triumphantly. After setting the jasmine down, he reached for the orchid on the balcony.
Victor smacked his hand away. “Hold on!” Then, turning back to Yvonne, he gave her a deeply aggrieved look
“You gave him all of them?” Victor sounded downright betrayed. “What’s so great about him?”
“Mr. Holmes really likes them!” Yvonne replied, her soft voice filled with sincerity.
Victor scoffed. “Well, I like them too! Why don’t I get any?”

Yvonne’s round face turned pink. She hadn’t expected her flowers to be this popular
Faced with Victor’s wounded expression, Yvonne hesitated for a long time before stammering I don’t know you want fem I can
give you some tomorrow, okay?”
Then Yvonne pointed at the floral arrangement on the table, the same one lan had been planning to take. “You can have this one
tomorrow!
Victor followed her gaze, and a flicker of appreciation crossed his face. Bot then, he turned back and shook his head “Nope
That’s not fair, Yvonne. I’m going to throw a tantrum
Yvonne’s eyes widened. She pointed at herself in disbelief. Im being unfair?
Victor barely held back a laugh but managed to keep a straight face. “Exactly! Way too unfair
While Yvonne was still processing that Victor continued, “If you weren’t being unfair, then why did you give him four but only give
me one? You can do the math yourself; you gave him a total of four, but you only gave me one”
Yvonne tilted her head, following his logic. That does sound kind of unfair, she thought
Victor suppressed his smile and went in for the win. “Both of us are your friends, right? You need to be fair. Don’t you think he
should share with me?”
Yvonne didn’t know what his words really meant, but something about the way Victor said it made her think he had a point.
