âSince Mr. X doesnât want to reveal their identity, they probably donât want to offend Bradley, âJasper said with a contented smile and a light tone. âYou know, the Warner Group is a formidable force, hard for regular folks to challenge. By the way, Esther, do you want to appeal that unfair case from five years ago?ââ
Esther replied firmly, âYes.â
She had to appeal for her childâs sake. Although she knew she couldnât reclaim those lost five years of her youth, she couldnât bear the thought of being forever labeled a âmurderer.â She just wanted to be a mother with a clean name for Felix. She didnât want Felixâs classmates to shun him when they discovered she had committed a crime.
âIn that case, let our law firmâs lawyers handle it. They have extensive experience,â Tanya said.
âAlright.â
Tanya played a significant role in Estherâs successful divorce case. Thus, she chose to stick. with Tanya and her law firm for her appeal.
After Estherâs divorce verdict was announced, Oliver left the courthouse. Tanya, however, remained to address ongoing matters with Bradleyâs legal team.
Jasper noticed Esther carefully reviewing her divorce papers. He asked, âEsther, can you come with me for a moment?â
âDoes it have to be right now?â
Esther wanted to return to Felix as soon as possible because she was concerned that her divorce from Bradley might affect young Felix psychologically. She wanted to give a quick hug to him.
âIt wonât take long.â
âAlright.â
Jasper drove and took Esther to a park.
Esther looked at the parkâs entrance and curiously asked, âJasper, isnât this the park we got to know each other?â
âYou remember?â
Estherâs face radiated youthful beauty after her recent divorce from Bradley.
âJasper, I divorced Bradley, not lost my memory,â she joked.
Jasperâs gaze fell upon Estherâs lovely face, making him slightly nervous. âYou were completely devoted to Bradley before.â
Esther playfully responded, âCome on, who didnât make mistakes when they were young? My eyes are wide open now. No more blindness.â
âMiss, youâre beautiful. Hereâs a flower for you,â said a stranger, handing Esther a green rose. Esther received an unexpected green rose. Since it wasnât red, she didnât think much of it. She saw the young girl who had given her the flower, smiled, and said, âThank you.â
Walking alongside Jasper, Esther entered the park. The place was brimming with roses, and it seemed like many people had come to admire them. Some art students were sketching by the roses, and couples in wedding attire were taking photos in the rose garden.
Amidst the sea of roses, everyone wore joyful smiles.
Jasper looked at the elegantly wrapped green rose in Estherâs hand and asked softly, âDo you know the meaning of a green rose?â
âWhat does it mean?â
