Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 939

Chapter 939: How much of it was a lie?

"So this is my tree... it's short, but it lasted longer than the others I planted." Finn grinned, casting Nina a knowing, slightly proud smile. "It's nurtured for survival... and it survived."

Nina chuckled, squeezing his hand gently. "It's cute."

"Is it?"

"Mhm." This time, Nina gazed at the tree with a smile.

Just moments ago, she had been roaming the greenhouse with a heavy heart, longing for him. Even with Cassandra, she had felt tense. But with Finn around, even though this was the second time she was walking around and being shown the same place, the feeling was different.

It felt like an entirely new experience.

"I like it," she said, glancing back at him.

Finn flashed her a subtle smile before looking back at the tree. "I don't like it, to be honest."

"Because it's short?"

"Because it was nurtured to survive, not just to live, to flourish at its peak, and then rest to give space for other things to take its spot." He shrugged and then grinned, facing her again. "The next time I plant something, it'll be the biggest in our home."

Nina's heart softened, and it showed on her face as she nodded. "Let's go back to the hospital. I'm sure your doctors are panicking because a patient is missing." "Don't worry about that," he reassured her, laughing. "Cassandra helped me with it."

"..." Nina pressed her lips together and raised an eyebrow.

Noticing the reaction on her face, Finn cleared his throat and spoke again before she could ask. "I called her because I want to tell her something important."

"You should have called me first," she blurted out, only to bite her tongue as soon as she realized what she had just said.
