In fact, through these little romantic gestures, their feelings for each other had quickly heated up. They not only got to know each other better, but also found it difficult to part ways, realizing they loved each other more.
Over the next few days, they agreed to be busy with work in the morning, have lunch together, and finish the unfinished tasks from their list of 100 things in the afternoon.
They grew more and more eager to meet each other, even in the morning, and would contact each other whenever they had a moment.
In the evening, Tristan's car parked in Algerone's yard, and they were back today. After completing three more romantic tasks, they came back early, wanting to have dinner together with Algerone and Belinda.
"Mom!"
As soon as Monica got out of the car, she saw her mother tending to the roses in the yard. They had become even more beautiful in the days she hadn't visited.
A gentle breeze brushed by, carrying a rich floral scent in the air.
"You're back?"
Belinda cut a few stems of flowers with scissors; she would put them in a vase later. Seeing her daughter's return, she smiled and said, "Dad is cooking something delicious for you. He's thrilled to hear you're back."
"Hello, auntie." Tristan also got out of the car, and upon hearing her words, he said, "I'll go help him." With that, he walked towards the house.
Monica ran towards her mother and took the flowers from her hands.
"Be careful, they have thorns," Belinda kindly reminded her.
The girl nodded, her concerned tone tinged with a hint of gossip, "Belinda, how have you two been getting along recently? Do you feel like you're falling in love?"
Belinda's face was adorned with a sweet smile as she glanced at her daughter, then buried her head to continue trimming the flower stems. "Have you been taking care of your heart? How are things progressing with Tristan? When are you planning to get married?"
"We said we'll wait a little longer," the girl blushed.
