The Innocent Wife of Scheming President novel Chapter 466

“For grandmother.”

“For grandmother?” Didn’t this little thing just say that she wouldn’t deliberately please the old lady? Then what did these flowers mean?

The little girl smiled sweetly and said, “Yep! But I didn’t have enough pocket money and can only buy one, and the other one was given to me by the florist auntie.”

Ada was a little bit confused about what was inside the little thing’s mind. Everyone said that adult world was the most complicated. Was it possible that the brain structure of a creature like children was also very special?

In the residence, Mrs. Hoyle had people prepared various snacks early in the morning. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little guilty after she said so heavy words to the child in Luo City.

In the past, she didn’t even bother to know anything about the child. But today, she was very interested in listening to Aoba telling her the little naughty girl’s fantastic and amusing stories. Each story stunned her.

“Is she as smart as you said? You’re not lying to make me happy, are you?”

Aoba chuckled, “Facts speak louder than words. You’ll find that this child is simply a child prodigy.”

Mrs. Hoyle never expected that when the child entered the door, she called her ‘grandmother’ sweetly and took out a small bouquet of gillyflower from her back, giving it to her.

“Did you teach her?”

“I don’t need to, it’s her own idea.” Ada laughed and told her the scene on the road again.

It really surprised Mrs. Hoyle to find a six-year-old child could have this thought. She asked a servant to find a vase and put the gillyflowers in. Then she smiled and asked Annie.

“How do you know I like these flowers?”

“Olive said that gillyflower is a mother’s flower. Every Mother’s Day and Luo City’s grandma’s birthday, as well as the first day of the New Year, Olive will personally select a bouquet of gillyflower for grandma. I’ll also use my New Year’s money to buy it for grandma in Luo City. And Jiangcheng’s grandmother, you’re dad’s mother. I give you flowers to thank you for giving a great daddy. But I don’t have much pocket money today, so I can only buy a few.” When the little girl said the last sentence, she blushed with embarrassment.

On her Mother’s Day or birthday, her children would also order their secretaries or call the flower shop to send a bouquet of this kind of flower to her. But in the end, it was give through other people and it was unlike this little girl’s two flowers. Although they were few and the packaging wasn’t gorgeous enough, it made her feel a different feeling in her heart.

Perhaps, she had really missed something?

When Alan was having a meeting in the conference room, Olive was sitting in his office. Taking advantage of this early time gap, she turned on the laptop that she carried with her and handled some emails and hotel affairs.

The moment Ivy pushed the door in, she was startled, “Why are you here?”

Ivy smiled, “Well, I’m also a minority shareholder of the Hoyle Group, so why can’t I come? Or, am I not welcomed?”

Olive pretended to be angry, “Look at what you said. Are you looking for Alan? He’s in a meeting now.”

“I know, I come to see you. How about we go out to find a place to sit?” Ivy suggested.

“Sure. Give me a minute.” Olive replied the last email and turned off the laptop. Pulling a blank paper from the printer, she left words for Alan and put it under the mouse.

The two of them sat in a café near Hoyle’s group and found seats by the window.

Ivy stirred the coffee in his hand, but his eyes looked out the window. The sunlight from June hit the wall of Hoyle Group’s building, reflecting a dazzling light.

“When I was young, my favorite thing to do was to take the three-stop bus when school was over and come here to wait for my father to get off work. At that time, he hadn’t bought a car yet. He obviously was a senior manager already, but he still rode a bicycle to work every day, saying that he could exercise. My mother died early, so my father was both a father and a mother. Because he was afraid that I would be treated bad, even though there were many women who pursued him, he had refused to remarry for me. No matter how hard he worked, he would always drive me to the market and buy my favorites. At that time, I thought, when I grew up, I could earn money to support myself and I must find a partner for my father. But unfortunately, he didn’t wait until that day.”

A deep sadness spread all over this man’s face. He had never told her a lot about his family and past. Olive suddenly didn’t know how to comfort him, “Ivy…”

“Do you see it? That window, the second one from the left on the 17th floor. He fell from there and died on the spot. That was my 18th birthday. He even promised me that morning that he would get off work and come home early to celebrate my birthday. He was such a cheerful person. He told me that an eighteen-year-old boy can date already and he wouldn’t object if I bring home a girlfriend. He was very honest. In the business field, someone wanted to give him a commission. He always acted according to the rules, so I never believe that he committed suicide to avoid punishment.”
