Chapter 165 Luca Gets A Reward

Luca beamed in agreement. “You could tag along with Mateo and stay here for a few days to make sure Mateo gets the work done, Mr. Abel. There will be plenty of time for you to fix the relationship with Ms. Louise.”

It did not matter to both of them that the garden was so tiny it would only take half a day to finish trimming it. Abel was thrilled, “Brilliant idea, Luca! Here’s your reward for such an amazing idea.”

Luca received a transfer of 1,000 dollars from Abel. “Thank you, Mr. Abel! Though I would have thought my brilliant idea deserved more than 1,000 dollars.”

The next morning when she was about to send the triplets to kindergarten, Emmeline found a van parked in front of her house. Two men got out of the van. They were Abel and Mateo, the Rykers’ family gardener. She remembered Mateo had set up the balcony garden.

She was surprised to find them here with shovels. She took a deep breath and approached them. “Are you here to scrape the garden and the swing? You have to wait until I send my kids to kindergarten to start.”

Abel was bewildered. How could she think that he was here to scrape the garden? Mateo was equally stunned. He looked at Abel quizzically, “Mr. Abel, I don’t think that’s the plan.”

“No, that’s not the plan,” Abel quickly explained, “You have misunderstood us, Emma. We are here because Mateo thinks that it’s time to trim the garden. It has been some time since the garden was built. Any garden needs a trim from time to time so it will stay beautiful, right?”

“Yes, Mr. Abel is right,” Mateo nodded in agreement, “The plants need trimming to prevent insect infestations. They also need to be fertilized to keep them healthy and vibrant. It’s my job to take care of the plants in your garden.”

“Well, the garden does need some upkeep,” Emmeline was persuaded. After all, she would not want the plants and flowers in the garden to wither.
