Chapter 170 Blue Roses
Everyone turned their head toward the door. It was Benjamin.
Coincidentally, he was also holding a bouquet of roses in his hands.
However, the roses in his bouquet were blue.
Benjamin and Abel stared at each other, secretly shocked at what the other party was holding.
Abel thought, What? I didn’t know there were blue roses! They look so otherworldly. My roses seem cheap and tacky in comparison!
Benjamin thought, Wow, that’s such a big bouquet! I’m sure Abel is here to declare his love for Ms. Louise!
Emmeline felt so awkward looking at the two men.
What’s wrong with them today?
After staring at each other for a while, Abel and Benjamin smiled diplomatically.
“You first, Mr. Ryker,” Benjamin said.
“Never mind,” Abel said. “The florist was giving these out for free anyway, so I took a bunch. You should go first.”
Benjamin was speechless. Which florist would give out so many roses for free? You can’t lie to save your life, Abel!
Abel turned his head and spoke to Sam. “Sam, put the flowers somewhere. If there’s no suitable place, you can throw them away.”
He placed the bouquet at the counter and left through the glass door.
Benjamin watched him cross the road without looking back before saying, “Emma, was I interrupting something?”
“No.” Emmeline forced a smile, though she felt disappointed.
Couldn’t you have come in two seconds later? I want to know what Abel wanted to say to me!
Emmeline glanced at the bouquet on the counter. It had lost its meaning.
“Find a vase for those flowers, Sam. It’s such a waste to throw them away.”
