Chapter 906: River Falls into the Water

Alina noticed that Poppy genuinely liked the lotus, but since this was the Pace family's pond, it was only appropriate to consult Ruud's opinion before giving away such a rare, dual-colored, thousand-petaled conjoined lotus.

River lowered her head, her eyes tinged red. She spoke softly, her voice delicate and apologetic. "I didn't think it through. I only saw that my brother liked it and wanted to give him everything he wanted. He has always been the treasure of our Swanson family, and I overstepped."

"But I still want to ask, Miss Brookes, could you let me have this dual-colored lotus? I won't take it for free. I'm willing to exchange something for it!"

"My grandfather told me to ensure my brother comes here happy and leaves satisfied. This is also my way of fulfilling his wishes."

Her tone was sincere, perfectly embodying the image of a devoted elder sister.

Ruud frowned deeply, his voice cold. "It's just a lotus. If our family wanted to cultivate one, it wouldn't be difficult. Besides, I already promised him he could take a lotus from the pond himself."

What should have been a pleasant gesture of gifting a lotus had now turned into an unpleasant affair, all thanks to River. Ruud's mood soured considerably.

Nothing good ever came from encountering this woman!

River glanced at the dual-colored lotus, still some distance away from her. If she wanted to take it home and care for it properly without damaging it, she'd need to cut it from the stem. Clusters of lotus flowers surrounded it, with lotus leaves floating nearby.

River hesitated, her troubled gaze turning toward Ruud, silently pleading for his help, hoping he would personally retrieve the flower for her.

Ruud's expression darkened as he impatiently asked, "Do you need me to arrange a boat and a boatman to help you pick that lotus?"

River's face lit up with joy. "Really? Would you do that?"

Ruud was momentarily stunned.
