President's Substitute Wife

When I was about to go downstairs, the bodyguard caught up with me. “You can leave. Mr. Jessop just wants to get rid of you.”

“I know. I won’t leave.”

I said calmly.

The bodyguards recognized me yesterday.

The bodyguard sighed behind me. “You are too stubborn.”

“Well, I think so.”

I said with a smile.

I went to the garden in the winter clothes of the servants and cotton gloves.

This was my first time here. The garden looked bigger.

In front of this garden of several hundred square meters, I knew I couldn’t finish it.

How long could I hold on?

But forget it.

Since I said I would not leave, I must not leave.

I took a deep breath and squatted down and began to pull the grass.

The whole garden was covered with thick snow. When I picked up the snow, I found that no one had cleaned it for a long time. The whole garden was overgrown with weeds.

I squatted there and began to pull the grass.

The grass was very fragile in winter. They broke easily. I thought I could do it this way.

But soon a bodyguard told me, “Mr. Jessop said you had to pull out the grass roots.”

Sean seemed to have figured it out.

I slowly pulled the roots out by hand.

At first, I thought it was OK.

But the cold was creeping into my gloves. My hands soon froze and had difficulty bending, let alone pulling grass.

I squatted there and took off my gloves. Then I put my hands in my clothes to keep warm and went on.

In this way, I pulled the grass till the sun went down.

In the evening, it was colder here.
