Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 462

Chapter 457

"But why Lush Dream? My mentor never explained. After it was made, the fragrance was never released, and there's not even a trace of it on the market."

Hearing this, Mila felt a twinge of disappointment.

She'd found the scent so unique and alluring that she'd wanted to ask where she could buy it, intending to pick up a few bottles as gifts for Felicity Fontaine. Felicity adored roses-Montgomery Manor itself even had a glass conservatory filled with roses, built especially for her by Conrad Montgomery.

The blooms flourished all year round.

If Mila could give her this fragrance, she was sure Felicity would be delighted.

"You like this perfume?" Johnnie caught the flash of regret on Mila's face and spoke up, as if reading her mind.

"Yes, it's beautiful and distinctive," Mila replied with a smile. "I wanted to ask where I could find it, so I could give it to a relative who loves roses. It's a shame, really."

If her mentor didn't want to sell it, she couldn't push the matter.

"Oh, that's nothing," Johnnie said with a chuckle. "Let me call my mentor tonight. If your friend is as passionate about roses as he is, maybe he'll agree to let me set aside a few bottles as a gift. Consider it a thank you for Ms. Sutherland's

generosity this evening."

"You're too kind-it was just dinner."

Johnnie smiled. "This is hardly a big deal."
