Chapter 30

At the flower market,

Ian stepped out of the car, holding Yvonne in his arms, and instantly, heads turned.

The three of them–him, Victor, and Yvonne–looked completely out of place in the bustling flower market.

With their sharp outfits and striking features, they might as well have been movie stars who wandered into the wrong set.

Victor was the first to get distracted. He stopped abruptly in front of a stall filled with delicate orchids.

“You should get an orchid, Yvonne,” he said thoughtfully. “They’re elegant and smell nice.”

Ian had been about to say the same thing, but Victor beat him to it.

just

He quickly chimed in, “That variety is hard to keep alive. You should just stick to roses.”

Victor raised an eyebrow. “Orchids are best.”

Ian shot back, “Roses symbolize love. Roses are better.”

And just like that, they were off–arguing like an old married couple. Yvonne sighed. ‘Here they go again,‘ she thought.

She reached up, smacking both of their arms with her tiny hands. “You, stop quarreling! Let’s just get both, okay?”

Ian and Victor exchanged glances before breaking into identical grins.

“Alright,” they agreed.

Finally, Yvonne let out a relieved breath.

‘Who says kids don’t have worries? This is so hard for me too!‘ she thought.

Hours later, Yvonne was completely numb to their antics.

She was stuck in the middle, her head pounding from all the bickering.

They had somehow managed to buy over ten pots of flowers, each one carefully debated, inspected, and selected.

By the time they were done, they had to call a separate car just to transport the plants back home.

As they were about to leave, Ian suddenly turned to Yvonne. “Hold on. We’ve been picking flowers this whole time–what about you? Do you have a favorite?”

Yvonne hesitated, then shook her head.

She thought, ‘I don’t mind. I just like taking care of them, as long as it keeps me busy.‘

But as that thought crossed her mind, something else popped up.
