The Scent of 98

At that moment, the door to another elevator slid open, and out came Miles. Celeste was surprised to see him. She didn’t expect him to be here at the hot spring retreat.

Miles saw Celeste and raised an eyebrow. Then, he swiftly turned to Martha and asked enthusiastically, “Are you leaving already, Mrs. Fleming Senior? Aren’t you going to have lunch before you go?”

The Fleming family and the Quinton family shared a close bond, so Martha had known Miles since he was a little boy. She flashed him a loving smile and said, “I won’t be joining you guys. Go ahead and have fun.”

All of them sent Martha to the entrance and saw her left. After her car drove into the distance, Jordyn merrily asked, “What are you doing here, Mr. Quinton?”

Miles bent over and pinched Jordyn’s fair cheeks. “Your dad asked me to be here. I came here immediately after I greeted your grandma. What do you think? Aren’t I a good friend to you?”

“Dad asked you here?”

“Yeah.” Miles smiled and said, “I even informed Beck and Wynn to come here as soon as I knew your grandma was going away. They’re already on their way, and they should be here in a while. Does that make you happy?”

Miles deliberately cast a glance at Celeste as he spoke.
