“Why’d you ask?” Jessica responded.
“I came here to pick up my aunt a couple of times before. She said she needs to replace the sunflowers in your room with fresh ones every day. So I wondered if it’s because you liked it, and that’s why Mr. Lopez gave that order.”
A glint flashed across her eyes as she pursed her lips. “I dislike sunflowers because they symbolize lies.”
Coincidentally, Wyatt decided to visit Jessica that afternoon.
When he reached the third floor, before entering the bedroom, he heard the exchange between the male housekeeper and her.
He stopped in front of the door and listened to them speaking with each other.
Jessica explained in slight amusement, “While sunflowers look pretty when they are wrapped in sunlight, they have a deadly, criminal vibe to them.”
“Why do you say that?” the male housekeeper wondered.
“Because I used them to accomplish some tasks in the past. I should thank them, honestly.”
Wyatt chuckled silently as he tugged the sunflower hanging around his neck. As he gazed at it, he recalled the day Jessica bought it for him in Jetroina. That gesture seemed extremely ironic to him at that moment as he listened to her words. She is deadly, considering I failed so spectacularly and almost lost my life because of her.
Instead of kicking the door open or putting on a scowl, he expressionlessly headed downstairs. As a result, he didn’t hear the rest of what Jessica told the male housekeeper.
Inside the bedroom, Jessica naturally didn’t know Wyatt had visited her. She shifted her sight to the scenery outside the window as if she was thinking about something. “It’s because of sunflowers that I know how well a man can treat me and how much I can love him.”
“Are you referring to Mr. Lopez?” the male housekeeper inquired.
“Mhm.” She then smiled at him. “Sunflower means unwavering love and devotion to someone. It’s a beautiful connotation, isn’t it? I hope you can give a bouquet of fresh sunflowers to your significant other. She’ll understand your love without you saying anything.”
“I don’t know why Mr. Lopez doesn’t let you leave, but I think you must really love him. When you mentioned him, your lips curved upward.”
“Really? But I didn’t mention him.” In response, Jessica touched her cheeks.
Even though she was staring at the male housekeeper, she was thinking about Wyatt. As she had lost her interest in drawing, she asked the male housekeeper to put the flowers back, which he did.
The housekeeper remained at the sideline when she decided to read a book on her bed.
Not long after, another housekeeper whispered something into the male housekeeper’s ear before the two left the bedroom together.
She didn’t mind as she continued to read her book.
When Jessica finished the book, she realized the sky was turning dark, and the bedroom light had already been turned on. Then she noticed her latest housekeeper was a thirty-something-year-old woman.
Curious, she inquired, “Where’s the one who looked after me during noon? He’s not here anymore?”
“The hospital called him. Apparently, his aunt is really sick,” the housekeeper replied while lowering her head. “Mr. Lopez allowed him to tend to his aunt in the hospital and asked me to take care of you, Ms. Marsh.”
Without giving Jessica a chance to speak, the housekeeper asked, “What would you like to eat, Ms. Garland? If you don’t have any preferences, your dinner will be prepared according to the menu.”
As she held onto the newspaper and read the satisfying news, the look in her eyes became complicated. It was as though the meager flame in her heart was suddenly revitalized. Even though I lied to Wyatt, caused his father’s death, and aborted his child, he still helped me eliminate my sister’s murderers without mentioning a word about it. Despite his ferocious hatred and wrath at me, he still cares about me. Why else would he have done this for me?
Suddenly, Jessica didn’t feel as gloomy anymore. As she ate, she questioned, “When is he visiting again?”
The housekeeper was momentarily stunned. Knowing that Jessica was referring to Wyatt, she replied, “I don’t know. However, I’ll be sure to notify you of his arrival.”
“Okay.”
Jessica looked forward to his next visit because she wanted to have a calm conversation with him and clear up the misunderstanding between them.
However, instead of Wyatt, she was visited by an unexpected guest in the early morning.
A black Bentley arrived at the mansion before the driver opened the door for Gianna to step out. Her eyes glistened as she stared at the mansion in front of her. I didn’t expect the driver to send me here when I asked Wyatt to give me a place to stay! I know Zenisan Villa’s independent mansion cost no less than fifty million. Yet now, this luxurious building belongs to me! I’m definitely going to show this place off to my friends later! They may be supermodels, but they’ll know that none of them is better than me! That’s because, despite my failure to become a supermodel, I managed to find myself a fantastic money tree!
When she turned back, she arrogantly warned the driver, “You better be careful when carrying those pieces of luggage! If you damage any of my stuff, I’m going to make you pay!”
Then she strutted toward the building smugly and spoke as though she was the lady of the house to the housekeeper who opened the door for her. “Wyatt has allowed me to live here from today onward. What did he tell you lot?”
The housekeeper bowed. “Mr. Lopez told us we’ll be serving you in the future, Ms. Gianna.”
Upon snorting and stepping into the building, she scanned the interior with a positively dazzled look.
Curbing her excitement, she followed the housekeeper to the second floor.
