Chapter 61

Chapter 61

On Tuesday evening, Yvonne rode in Anna’s family car to the Lawson house.

As they walked toward the living room. Yvonne spotted the black dog from last time–the one that had eaten the flowers she had grown. The dog was tied to a tree, its tail wagging furiously. If no one was holding it back, it probably would have launched into the air.

Yvonne felt a bit nervous. She hugged her little kitten purse tightly, her eyes darting around, constantly keeping an eye on the dog’s movements.

Seeing her unease, Fred crouched down and gently covered Teddy’s mouth with his hands, then gave Yvonne a reassuring look

Teddy, looking at her with longing, seemed to be drooling at the sight of her.

The living room was filled with people. When Yvonne entered, she felt a little shy.

At the center of the room stood an elderly man with gray hair, looking frail and supported by someone.

Yvonne recognized him immediately–this was Anna’s grandfather.

She tightened her grip on her bag and softly said, “Hello.”

Grayson walked over. letting out a long sigh, guilt and do. I had to come to you.”

He pointed to the large fish tank on the table, beside which stood a lavender plant

“My fish is about to die, but the flowers you grow seem to give it strength. So, I was hoping to buy some of your flowers.”

Yvonne’s innocent gaze seemed confused, so Grayson’s expression softened as he said sincerely, “I won’t take advantage of you, little one. The payment for the flowers, I’ll discuss it with your father. I won’t let you suffer.”

Now Yvonne understood–he was offering her money.

She immediately shook her head and said in her sweet, high–pitched voice, “No, no! I don’t want money_

She opened her bag and pulled out the flowers inside, offering them one by one.

“These are for you, the honest little girl continued, not stopping until her bag was empty. Her large, sincere eyes never left Grayson’s face

I don’t need any money. My family has plenty. I’ll bring more tomorrow.”

Skylar opened his mouth to protest, but Anna immediately took Yvonne in her arms, her voice full of affection. “Yvonne you’re so kind to us!”

Yvonne grinned, holding Anna’s hand tightly.

She liked Anna and didn’t want her to feel sad

Seeing the deep bond between the two girls, Skylar, feeling moved, decided not to bring up the money again.

The child didn’t understand these things–he would have to talk to her father about it.

He picked up two vases and started placing the flowers Yvonne had brought into them, setting them next to the fish tank.
