Chapter 98
After dinner, when they got back, Kelvin slipped the watch Wendy had sent onto Yvonne's wrist.
It fit perfectly, no surprise, since it was custom-made for her.
The little girl stared at the dial for a long time. She had no clue how to read it, but that didn’t matter, the design
alone had completely won her over.
“Dad, look!” She held up her wrist, her fair little face glowing with excitement.
Her joy was infectious, and Kelvin’s lips curved into a smile. “Ms. Holmes sent this for you,” he said. Til show you
how to use it.”
Yvonne was more curious about the sender than the watch itself. She paused for a second, then turned to Kelvin.
Is she here too?”
“No, she had someone else bring it over, Kelvin said with a shake of his head.
“Oh.” Yvonne's excitement dimmed just a little. She hadn't seen Wendy in days and wondered how she was
doing
Still, the fact that Wendy had thought of her, had gone out of her way to send such a beautiful watch, made her
heart feel warm and sweet.
Her mood brightened again, and she grinned, stretching out her hand toward Kelvin. Then teach me, Dadr
Kelvin held her wrist gently, his voice low and patient, a smile in his tone as he explained.
Yvonne barely remembered anything he said. All she knew was that she could call Dad with it and, oh yeah, it
could take videos.
When they pulled up to the house, Kelvin carried her out, and they headed toward the back door to wait for
Taylor.
Standing in front of the towering vermilion doors, lan let out a deep sigh. “Man, | haven't properly set foot in the
Adler house in ages.”
The last the was here, years ago, he ha been chased off by the family’s giant Tibetan mastiffs.
Now, glancing at Kelvin, he asked warily, “Your grandpa doesn’t still keep weird pets, does he?”
Kelvin pressed his lips together like he was thinking. “Hmm,” he said casually, “he did bring in a venomous pit
viper a couple of days ago. You still wanna in?”

Hearing those words, lan’s face darkened. Richard was still just as reckless as ever.
As soon as Taylor got out of the car, Kelvin led him inside, leaving lan and his bodyguard behind.
lan took a few steps toward the entrance but hesitated again when he reached the door.
Yvonne was already nestled on Kelvin’s shoulder, her tiny voice full of confusion. “Mr. Holmes, aren’t you coming
in?”

Kelvin turned back, amused by lan’s hesitation.
Seeing him standing there like that, he lost interest and carried Yvonne inside.
As he walked off, he casually tossed over his shoulder. “Mr. Holmes is probably too scared to cin.”
Yvonne, completely unbothered, just nodded. “Oh, okay.”

lan stood there, staring at their retreating figures, feeling utterly defeated. ‘Is Yvonne really looking down on me
right now?
Determined not to let that happen, he clenched his jaw and rushed after them. “Hey, wait for me!”
By the tthey reached the backyard, Taylor had slowed his pace.
The sky was still clear, and the soft scent of osmanthus filled the air.
He glanced around at the well-maintained garden and nodded in approval. “These flowers are thriving.
Someone's been taking really good care of them.”
A nice environment always put people in a good mood.
Kelvin, however, frowned slightly. He had noticed something unusual, everywhere Yvonne stayed for a while, the
plants flourished.
Since they hadn't been at the Adler estate for long, the flowers here weren't as vibrant as they could be, but
they still looked healthier than usual.
After admiring the garden for a moment, Taylor suddenly had a thought.
He turned to Kelvin with curiosity in his eyes. “Speaking of which, your family is loaded. Why did you pickto
be Yvonne's teacher?”
He rubbed his chin, mumbling to himself. “My field of study is so niche. It's not like | can teach her anything
useful.”
Kelvin just stared at him, at a loss for words. The mentorship had been settled, yet only now was he asking this.
Seemed like choosing Taylor had definitely been the right call. He and Yvonne were both oblivious in the most
ridiculous
ways.
lan, who had just caught up, overheard the conversation and quickly connected the dots. Thinking about
Yvonne's natural way with plants, he immediately understood why Kelvin had chosen Taylor.
With a smirk, lan casually teased, “Honestly, isn’t it better this way? No lessons mean more tfor your
experiments. Besides, she’s smart and adorable, having her around is a win.”
Taylor thought about it for a second and realized lan had a point.
This really did feel more like raising a granddaughter than taking on an apprentice.
Now completely unbothered, he grinned and ruffled Yvonne's hair.
Meanwhile, Richard, who had been watching from the corridor, was far less amused.
The butler leaned in and muttered, “Sir, | don’t think he’s just sregular gardener. Look at his clothes.”
Richard’s expression turned sour as he eyed the trio, who looked oddly like a happy little family.
He scoffed, “I don’t care how skilled he is, at the end of the day, he’s just
His tone dripped with bitterness, but the butler wisely kept quiet.
a guy who grows flowers.”
Just then, Laura walked by and spotted them lurking. Curious, she strolled over and peered over Richard's
sho’ er. “Grandpa, what are you staring at?”
Following their gaze, she saw the small group standing nearby. At first, she barely paid attention, but then her
eyes landed on Taylor.

That old man looked really familiar. She squinted, trying to place him, and then, it hit her.
She had seen his photo in a group chat just this morning.
Her heart skipped a beat. She blinked, frozen for a second, before whipping around to face Richard. “Oh my God!
That's Taylor Johnson!”
Richard and the butler exchanged blank looks. “Who?” Richard frowned. “That nrings a bell...”
Laura practically clung to the pillar next to her, buzzing with excitement. “Grandpa, you seriously forgot? | just
told you two days ago, he’s the reason those flower deliveries stopped!”
Richard finally remembered. “Oh... The guy behind that potted flower thing?” His voice was full of mixed
emotions.
“Yes! Yes!” Laura nearly shrieked. “He’s a freaking legend! What is he doing in our house?!”
Laura’s face was flushed, her eyes shining with admiration. She looked like a total fangirl and didn’t notice
Richard's expression at all.
When she saw Taylor being led into the living room, she couldn't hold back.
She turned to Richard and said, “Grandpa, I'm gonna go say hi to Mr. Johnson. It’s chilly out here, hang out for a
bit if you want, but let the butler take you inside when you're done, okay?”
Before he could respond, she was already gone.
A cold gust of wind swept through the corridor, making Richard's already stooped figure seem even smaller,

The wind was biting, but it didn’t sting nearly as much as the feeling in his chest.
The butler opened his mouth like he wanted to say something, but after a moment, he just let out a quiet sigh.
In the end, he simply stood there beside Richard, keeping him company in the cold silence of the porch.
