He Loves Me Right, Finally novel Chapter 123

In the photo, Wynette's smile looked sweet and radiant, while Adriel's gaze followed her completely.

The more Adriel looked at it, the more satisfied he felt.

He tapped save without hesitation.

Wynette noticed his movement too and said openly, "Wanna take a few more together?"

As she spoke, she grabbed Adriel's phone and started snapping a bunch of photos of the two of them.

Afterward, she handed the phone back to him. "Send me the pictures later."

She never opened his gallery to pick through the photos herself.

After all, that was still private, and Wynette respected boundaries.

The moment Adriel heard that, he sent every single photo to her.

That included all the pictures of the two of them together.

Wynette tapped the photos open one by one in full screen. Honestly, Adriel's photography skills were pretty good.

Suddenly, Wynette froze.

Mixed in between the photos was an old graduation picture from her college days.

Back then, she had been holding a huge bouquet of velvet begonias while smiling brightly at the camera.

Adriel's figure could also be seen hidden in the corner of the photo.

As if realizing something, Wynette immediately looked up at him. "The flowers I got at graduation... you were the one who sent them? You came to my graduation ceremony?"

She had always loved begonias, especially the different varieties.

At the time, Wynette thought Noah had sent them. She had held them carefully all the way home and even kept them with the utmost care afterward.

It wasn't until much later that she realized the flowers hadn't been from Noah at all.

By then, Wynette had already turned the velvet begonias into dried flowers to preserve them for as long as possible.

Even after discovering Noah wasn't the sender, she still never threw the bouquet away.

Only then did Adriel realize he'd accidentally included that photo when sending the pictures over. Meeting Wynette's gaze, he admitted honestly, "Yeah. It was me."

Knowing how much Wynette loved begonias, Adriel had grown countless rare varieties at the Gallagher Estate over the years.

On the day of her graduation, he'd personally selected the prettiest velvet begonias early that morning and hand-wrapped them into a bouquet before bringing them to her school.

Originally, Adriel planned to hand them to her personally, but after searching all over campus and failing to find her, he eventually went to her classroom and quietly left the bouquet on her desk.

That day, he'd returned to the company briefly for work, and when he came back to campus later, he saw Wynette happily hugging the flowers while asking her friends to take pictures of her.

Hidden where Wynette couldn't see him, Adriel had asked Blaze to secretly take that photo.

Adriel wanted to unsend it now, only to realize the recall time limit had already expired. Instant embarrassment hit him.

Looking at him apologetically, Wynette said softly, "Sorry. Back then, I really thought Noah sent those flowers. I had no idea it was you."

At the time, she'd even wondered how Noah suddenly became thoughtful enough to give her her favorite flowers.

Especially because the meaning behind velvet begonias was unrequited love, symbolizing selfless devotion and love without expecting anything in return.

Because of those flowers, Wynette mistakenly believed Noah genuinely liked her too, but he just wasn't good at expressing it.

In the end...

Adriel smiled at her. "It's fine. That's my fault. I should've left a card. I picked the flowers fresh that morning, and after wrapping everything, I ran out of time and completely forgot the note."

"Those flowers were from your..." Wynette stared at him in shock.

Adriel simply admitted it openly. "I grew those begonias myself. Picked them personally and wrapped them into that bouquet for you."

Did I just invite myself to visit the Gallagher Estate?

What if the Gallaghers don't welcome me?
