Chapter 184 Rose Garden

He was smiling from ear to ear when he got into the driver’s seat and started the car engine.

Both of them were sitting in an enclosed space quietly, and Vania felt slightly uneasy. She asked, “Are you feeling better now? Didn’t you tell me yesterday that you’d need a long time for your body to heal again? Why are you out today?”

Nevertheless, Hanson got happier when he heard her and started chuckling. “Are you that worried about me?”

The way he spoke made it sound like Vania could only think about him.

However, she ignored his teasings and spun around to look outside of the car window. I was just asking to be kind, so why did he have to say it like this?

Despite that, Hanson was still grinning, and he wasn’t feeling awkward by the fact that Vania had ignored him. “I have a bad stomach, but I’m not crippled. Am I not good enough for you just because I have poor health?”

Vania remained quiet, for she didn’t know how to answer him.

Just then, she couldn’t help but feel like Hanson was completely different from how others would describe him as cold and unapproachable. Looks like some rumors really can’t be trusted.

Knowing that Vania was distancing herself from him after what happened yesterday, Hanson stopped smiling and asked, “Are you still mad?”

His sudden question caught her off guard. “Mad about what?”

“What happened yesterday, obviously.” He had made a mistake by handing over his card to her.

Nonetheless, Vania chuckled lightly as if it didn’t matter at all. “That’s what you meant? I was never mad, though.”

Why would she get mad about something that she didn’t care about?

Suddenly, Hanson felt dejected. If she’s not even mad at me, doesn’t that mean that she doesn’t feel anything for me? Still, he could only go along with it and replied, “Good to know that.”

Then, the two of them went quiet.

Fortunately, the entire car drive only took about half an hour.

Hanson had taken Vania to a private manor in the suburbs of Hammond.

The entire area overlooked the green, and the atmosphere there was serene as the distance between each house was about several feet apart. The entire place resembled villages in North Seymica.

Hanson opened the car door for Vania. “We’re here.”

Vania was confused as she scanned her surroundings. “Why are we here?”

However, Hanson refused to answer her. “You’ll know soon enough.” Then, he held her hand and pulled her forward.

Immediately, Vania wanted to shrug off his hand since it was weird for them to be holding hands, but he refused to let go of her wrist or let her shrug his hand off as if he had already predicted that this might happen.

After failing to pull away a few times, she had no choice but to give up.

Meanwhile, Hanson smiled happily when he noticed that she stopped struggling.

Then, they took the small pebble trail to the backyard of the manor.

Both sides of the trail were planted with all sorts of flowers and bushes, and it was an extremely beautiful sight.

When they reached the backyard, the sea of roses came into view.

The rose garden was fenced in the shape of a heart, but what made them different was the usage of roses. Instead of normal roses, all of the roses in the garden were precious Juliet roses.

There were other species of roses blooming by the fences of the manor as well.

In fact, one could probably find all of the species of roses in the entire world in this manor.

Right then, Vania was dumbfounded as she stared at the view in front of her before her heart started racing again.

Following that, Hanson whispered into her ear. “Do you like it?”

Vania spun around to look at Hanson. “Did you prepare this for me?”

The obvious signs of soil movement on that ground indicated that these roses had just been transplanted.

She could tell that it was specially prepared since most of the species of roses here wouldn’t survive in Hillworths’ climate.

Meanwhile, Hanson didn’t deny her question. “I know that you like roses, so I wanted to place all the prettiest roses in front of you.”
