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.
He 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!!!
Julia pulled a straight face. The media would publicize it, and eventually, Darren would come to know about 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?!”
