But this was Chase’s way of showing care for the CEO. As the secretary, it was his job to support the CEO’s family life and happiness. He could only grit his teeth and do it.
“I also bought two more pots for Mandy. These are fresh imports this year, can’t find them locally,” Chase said with a smile, carefully placing the pots in a sunny spot. “Mandu loves this kind of stuff.”
Hearing how naturally and smoothly Chase addressed her mother, Wendy felt genuinely happy inside.
But she also knew that during times like these, Chase would inevitably think of his birth mother, who now rested in the ground, no longer able to see these beautiful flowers bloom.

“Fine. As long as Noah’s demands aren’t over the top, we can agree. But one condition–no more relationship rumors with Lemon. I don’t want Chase obsessing over her,” Wendy said suddenly.
Chase, still crouched by the flowerpot, turned around with a helpless look.
Wendy tilted her head away. She wasn’t exactly jealous; she just wanted Chase’s full attention on her.
