Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1858
Chapter 1858 Flat Refusal
Larry had seen that special flower at Jory and Nancy’s wedding. In addition, he had also heard about it before. Hence, this matter was not difficult for him.
Little did he know that the owner of those flowers, Delilah, wasn’t an easy person to deal with.
“Rest assured, we’ll handle the procurement of the raw materials,” Larry replied calmly.
Then, he searched for the woman who set up the flowers that day, and successfully obtained Delilah’s contact information.
“I’m sorry, sir. Several years’ worth of the flowers has been sold out,” Delilah hurled back, not sounding sorry whatsoever.
Delilah’s flowers were sold in limited numbers every year because she never intended to make huge profits out of them. In the village, she was already satisfied with earnings that could cover her living expenses. Not to mention, she didn’t want to leave the village.
As the days went by, Selena found her job in the supermarket getting easier. Meanwhile, Larry realized that negotiating with Delilah was harder than he thought.
“Selena, don’t you think it’s time to think about marriage?” Delilah said abruptly.
Selena was momentarily stunned. Marriage never crossed her mind because she felt content living with Delilah and Lucius.
“Remember Kevin from our village? He’s the one who used to help us move the flowers. He’s always shown an interest in you. If you think he-”
“Ms. Young,” Selena interrupted Delilah, then bowed her head. “I’ve never thought about these things.”
For some reason, Selena felt revolted by this topic. Seeing the way she nervously changed the topic, an idea surfaced in Delilah’s mind.
“Mom, I’m home!” Lucius yelled upon entering the house.
Selena’s eyes lit up and she immediately went over to greet him.
“Mom, I just met Kevin,” Lucius stated casually.
Kevin again? Selena eyed the boy in front of her suspiciously.
“What did he say to you?” she prodded.
