When the renovation crew arrived at the Adler family, Lillian quickly carried the roses out of the room, worried they might
She really cherished those roses, feeling like they had a life, the more she looked at them, the more she liked them.
yvonne playing nearby, was a bit puzzled when she suddenly noticed this,
Those were the flowers from her room And Lillian was holding them like holding a baby.
Thinking of something. Yvonne approached and said sweetly. “Lillian, young!”
1allian was surprised, asking “Miss, what did you just say
“You holding flowers, young!”
Lillian was overjoyed hearing this. She went to the bathroom mirror to check and found she did look a few years younger.
A few fellow maids who got along well with her gathered, all praising her for her good spirit.
As they were talking, the phone in Lillian’s pocket suddenly rang.
Lillian, Mrs. Sabrina Walter says she has something to deliver to Mr. Adler, should we let her in?” It was the security guard at the main entrance of the villa.
Lillian’s role was akin to that of a housekeeper, with decisions regarding minor matters such as visits being made by her.
This Walter family had a partnership with Charles‘ company. Hearing Sabrina was coming to deliver something. Lillian had the guards let her in instantly.
Putting down the roses in her hand, she rushed out to greet Sabrina.
At this moment, Yvonne was sitting in the small garden, holding her pot of jasmine..
Bathing in the morning breeze with the jasmine she had nurtured by her side, she crinkled her eyes happily.
Upstairs, Charles gently pulled back a bit of the curtain and sure enough, saw the kid from yesterday again
His gaze shifted to the jasmine next to the little girl.
That was the flower he had personally nurtured; how could he possibly forget? But even so, he carefully identified it for a long time before he was sure.
Yesterday morning, he had confirmed that it had no chance of coming back to life, so he had the servant take it down.
But now, in the little girl’s arms, it seemed to have revived. In just one day, it came back to life.
Charles leaned against the window, looking a bit dazed. Just as the little girl was about to spot him, he pulled the curtains
shut.
Meanwhile, Yvonne felt like someone was watching her, but when she stood up and looked around, she did see anyone.
She continued holding the flowers and talking to herself. Suddenly, a voice came from behind her. “You’re the kid Kelvin adopted from the orphanage?”
Hearing the voice, Yvonne turned around and saw a fancy–dressed woman standing behind her.

When no one showed up in the living room, she felt something was off. After asking around, she found out the two had gone to the garden.
Sabrina had always been trying to marry her daughter off to Kelvin. That was why she got so mad when the heard the Adler family adopt a girl from an orphanage.
Sabrina’s daughter was also divorced and was now 25 years old, with a 4–year–old girl from her previous marriage
Days ago, her daughter brought her granddaughter over to the Adler family for a short visit. But Kelvin’s cold demeanor frightened the child, causing her to cry.
Because of that, Sabrina was pretty dissatisfied.
Then, Kelvin adopted Yvonne from the orphanage, which made her even angrier. This time, she came under the pretense of delivering documents to take a look at Yvonne.
Lillian walked over, subtly pulling Yvonne behind her like she was protecting her own kid.
Sabrina caught a glimpse of this out of the corner of her eye, her expression souring but she didn’t say anything
Lillian was an old servant of the Adler family, brought over by Kelvin from Strate City. Sabrina wouldn’t dare lash out at no matter how angry she was.
So, she lazily glanced at her nails and went back to her usual self.

With that, she glanced at Lillian, a bit startled.
The other day when she came, Lillian looked haggard, no different from those kitchen ladies at her place. Yet today she looked like a different person.
A closer sniff revealed the faint scent of roses.
Sabrina suppressed her surprise and casually asked, “Lillian, did you go for a beauty treatment? And you’re even wearing perfume?”
The reason for the question was that Sabrina was captivated by the scent. She had never smelled such a pure and delightful rose before.
Lillian’s smile faltered, her thoughts racing in an instant.
A moment later, she chuckled awkwardly. “Mrs. Walter, you’re joking. What would a nanny like me need with beauty treatments? Those are luxuries for ladies of your stature. As for this perfume, it’s just a cheap one. It smells nice at first, but gets tiresome after a while.”
L
When Sabrina heard this, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.
She had been thinking the scent was nice and might buy a bottle to spritz. But since it was cheap, forget it.
As the esteemed Mrs. Walter, how could she possibly use the same as the servants? That would be lowering her own status.
Thinking this, she pulled her gaze back, covering her mouth to fake a laugh. “Don’t say that. You can also try it out. Lillian, being an old hand at the Adler family, your monthly pay should cover a try.
“Oh right, if you go, remember to tell me which shop, so I can avoid it.”
Lillian, as if not catching her sarcasm, still smiled.
Sabrina felt like her punch had landed on the water, but she came today specifically to see the orphan. Now that she had met her, she found her quite ordinary.
With her goal done, she didn’t linger.
As soon as she left, Lillian’s smile vanished.
She crouched down, picking up the little girl with red eyes, her heart aching. “Don’t cry, my lady…”
She pulled out tissues to wipe the kid’s tears, soothing, “She doesn’t speak human language, so let’s not take her words to heart.”
