Chapter 0574
Forget them. Suzy had already said her plece, and whatever they chose to do from here on out was their problem, not hers.
Let them exhaust themselves she wasn’t going to engage.
But Suzy had underestimated their determination, as well as their capacity for absurdity. She had also grossly overestimated how peaceful ignoring them could be.
The two men, one older and one younger, treated each other like mortal enemies. Whatever one did, the other immediately tried to one–up.
For instance, when Dylan sent her a bouquet of flowers, Elliot immediately sent one too–only his had 999 roses. Not to be outdone, Dylan sent 9,999 roses, which Elliot promptly tried to outdo again.
Back and forth it went, until by midday, Suzy’s charming little rental cottage looked less like a home and more like a florist’s shop.
After Elliot’s confession, Suzy had moved out of his place, not because she was afraid of him, but because she wanted to give him some space to cool off.
Instead of a hotel, she’d rented a quaint, locally styled cottage. But now, from the front gate to the inner rooms, every inch was packed with flowers.
And yet, the competition didn’t stop there.
By lunchtime, the flowers were replaced with a barrage of meals. Dylan sent her classic takeout, so Elliot countered with fresh sushi rolls, gourmet pasta, barbecue platters, and fiery Cajun dishes.
Every type of cuisine imaginable arrived, one delivery after another.
The stream of delivery drivers was relentless, each one carrying something new. None of the meals repeated, but the chaos remained the same
Suzy had never experienced a headache quite like this one.
Despite making it clear to both of them that she wasn’t interested, they seemed utterly incapable of taking no for an answer.
Finally, by 3 p.m., the barrage of lunch deliveries came to an end. Suzy thought she’d finally get a moment’s peace, but not even five minutes later, there was another knock at the door.
Sighing in frustration, she opened it anyway. It wasn’t the delivery workers‘ fault–they were just doing their jobs.
But this time, it wasn’t lunch.
It was afternoon tea.

Cakes, coffee, milk tea–every possible treat she could imagine.

The moment one man started, the other immediately followed. Sure enough, another delivery driver arrived shortly after.
What followed was another two hours of relentless competition. By the time the clock struck five and dinner loomed on the horizon, the afternoon tea deliveries seamlessly transitioned into dinner orders.
Suzy spent the entire day either opening the door for delivery drivers or walking back and forth to do so. If she wasn’t signing receipts, she was waiting for the next batch to arrive. Food, drinks, random gifts–her entire cottage was filled to the brim, inside and out, until there was barely any room to step.
And still, the two men showed no signs of stopping. If this continued, they’d probably start sending midnight snacks next.
Staring at the mountain of deliveries surrounding her, Suzy’s gaze narrowed, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes. Pulling out her phone, she made two calls, one after the other, summoning them both.
