Upon reaching home, Evander whipped out his phone and made a call.

Due to the distance, she could not hear what he was saying. The only thing she made out was him asking about treatment for her injured hand.

Puckering her lips while seated on the sofa, Angeline complained softly to Floretta, who was busy playing with blocks.

“Isn’t your daddy overreacting? All I did was pluck a flower of his. Is all this fuss really necessary?”

Floretta giggled and looked up at Angeline, her eyes gleaming brightly.

“That’s because the flower you plucked belongs to Mr. Roger. The entire garden is like a precious baby to him!”

Angeline’s eyes widened in shock. She couldn’t believe her ears.

“What? You’re saying that Roger planted everything there?”

“Yes. He comes every week to weed and even declared that I’ll inherit the garden once he’s old. But I have no interest in doing his work for him!”

Angeline began to feel guilty upon learning the truth. If she had known that it was Roger’s private property, she wouldn’t have plucked it, for doing so without permission was the equivalent of stealing.

No wonder Evander was so angry just now.

Lost in thought, she suddenly saw Evander end his call and come into the room with a piece of aloe vera.

Kneeling by her side, Evander lifted her injured finger with a frown and asked in concern, “Does it hurt? Do you feel all right?”

“No, it doesn’t. I don’t feel anything in fact.”

His words only served to intensify Angeline’s guilt.
