I read it three times in a row, but it still wasn’t enough. I felt happy and pointed to that post and asked Christopher, “Did you hire him to write this? How could someone else know this much detail?”
“I will not use my trump card at such a meaningless place.” Christopher blinked and said, “This is someone smart. Not everyone is an idiot. The truth will always be in the hands of the wise.”
Christopher teased me so much that I couldn’t stop laughing. If he was trying to cheer me up, he certainly did it.
“You finally laughed!” Christopher breathed a sigh of relief and patted my cheek. “You haven’t even smiled lately, so I didn’t dare to smile in front of you. Come on, smile again. Let your darling have a good look at you smiling.”
I was dumbfounded. I touched my cheek and realized that I had not been smiling a lot lately. I didn’t know why, but I just didn’t feel like smiling. I bumped my head on Christopher’s chest and showed him a bright smile.
The mansion Sharon stayed in was dedicated to the elderly. The mansion was located on the mountainside because they liked to live in a quiet place. I gently sighed as I stood in front of the familiar entrance of the mansion and smelled the faint floral fragrance lingering in the air.
I never thought that I would be back here again in my life.
As the morning breeze blew, the flowers in the garden were swaying in the wind. I remembered that I planted those flowers when Sharon first moved into the mansion and lamented the dull scenery. After two years, the garden became a cluster of flowers, and they bloomed all year round.
When I walked in, Sharon was watering the cactus lilies in the garden. When she saw me, she waved her hand at me and said, “You’re here, Yvonne. Quickly, help me water them. These cactus lilies seem to be able to recognize people. They didn’t be blooming well until you came. Look.”
“Cactus lilies are very fragile, and it always takes more effort to grow them.” I took the sprinkler and meticulously hydrated the cactus lilies, then loosened the soil with a shovel.
