Chapter 312

“Why are you not saying anything, don’t you like it?” Neil asked, noticing my silence.

I picked up a few petals from the water, examining them closely. They were beautiful, vibrant and full, with a velvety texture.

“I do like it, it’s very beautiful,” I answered sincerely

“Let me see” Neil hung up and immediately video-called me.

“Yes,” I nodded and chuckled, “I’m bathing with the roses you sent.”

Neil seemed to be taken aback, not fully understanding. So, I pointed the camera at the bathtub, full of rose petals spreading a delicate fragrance.

He fell silent, seemingly at a loss for words. This was the first time he had ever given me flowers. Even the bouquet at our wedding was chosen by his mother.
