Blatantly acting like a hooligan.
"Let go of me, I'm going to call for help."
"Do you think anyone would dare to come into this ward at this time?" Anthony responded calmly.
Just as Mavis was figuring out how to escape, he suddenly let her go without warning.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time."
His quick change in demeanor shocked her.
It sounded like she was intentionally wasting his time.
"Turn around!"
Mavis scrubbed his back vigorously as if releasing her anger from earlier.
The next day.
Anthony felt refreshed after cleaning and having Mavis rest with him. It felt like winning a competition for affection and he was in high spirits.
He even contacted Chad and truthfully reported the progress from last night, waiting for him to give some advice on how to proceed further.
Chad: [If you want your relationship to progress further, you need something romantic that will move her.]
Anthony thought about it carefully and agreed with him. [What should I do?]
Chad: [Women love jewelry and handbags so just send some over.]
Of course he had planned on sending gifts but she probably didn't need those things and it wouldn't show enough sincerity. Anthony felt that this wasn't enough by far.
Anthony: [That's not sincere enough.]
With just five words, he rejected the idea.
Chad slapped his forehead on the other side of the phone screen, then quickly typed out a message saying, "I've got it! Let's plan something more romantic!" He ended with an emoticon of an eyebrow-raised Shiba Inu watching intently.
After listening carefully to Chad's detailed plan, Anthony thought it could work.
As for buying all the necessary items? That pressure fell naturally onto Kane's shoulders.
"Mr. Callahan why do you need so many roses? Is our company expanding into new businesses?"
Kane was confused; thousands of roses would cover an entire acre!
"No."
"Oh! I know! You're helping farmers right? Lately I've been seeing lots of livestreams about helping farmers. Mr. Callahan, you're truly such a kind-hearted person!"
Kane kept praising him without realizing that Anthony had no concept of quantity whatsoever.
"Stop talking nonsense."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kane ran off quickly outside.
"Daddy, are you trying to surprise Mommy?" The little one who had been silent until now suddenly spoke up.
Anthony couldn't help but give him an approving look; truly worthy son following in father's footsteps!
"Do you want me to help you?"
"Of course," the father and son agreed with a clap of their hands.
Anthony was in charge of setting up the scene, while Alistair was responsible for keeping Mavis company to prevent her from accidentally discovering the surprise.
However, Anthony found himself lost in thought as he sat alone in the room. The simple roses didn't feel special enough. He needed something more unique.
An idea struck him and he immediately had someone bring him $10, 000 in cash and called for twenty men to come to the hospital room with him.
Thankfully, there was a VIP floor where they could work without drawing too much attention. Otherwise, their conspicuous group of black-suited men standing at over six feet tall would have surely caused alarm among onlookers.
But then things took an unexpected turn as these burly bodyguards began clumsily folding bills into rose shapes. They looked out of place trying to do such delicate work inside a hospital room.
Despite this setback, Anthony personally got involved and they couldn't really complain about it anymore.
After several hours of struggling through it all together, they finally finished folding all the roses. The rough-looking men breathed sighs of relief that they were done with such tedious work; running ten miles would have been more enjoyable than this!
As soon as they finished making paper flowers out of money bills on one end, Kane arrived with real roses on another end.
