Sold As The Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 423

Chapter 81: Can You Do Me a Favor?

I did everything I could to be cooperative with what Magnolia wanted me to do. Once everything was done, I was finally able to leave my room and get some fresh air.

Getting Luther’s fur. That was the task Theo, who still wanted

to be called Tallis, had given me. I don’t know where his confidence in me came from, but I guess neither of us had another option.

Tallis wouldn’t reappear until the set time we’d agreed to meet. And I better have what we needed by then…

I needed to think about how to get close enough to Luther to get his wolf’s fur. Heading out into the gardens, I wandered through the little pathways looking at the flowers.

In the entrance to the garden, there were beautiful tulips and irises poking up through green ground cover that had small blue flowers on it. The gardens were well cared for and so vibrant and colorful.

Walking deeper into the garden, I passed by an old fountain that wasn’t in use. The basin was empty and the statue at the center was faded. It looked like the fountain hadn’t had any water in it for years.

On the opposite side of the fountain the garden changed.

There were rose bushes that were thick with thorns and vines and hardly any flowers. The smaller plants that grew around the base of the rose bushes were wilted. Their stems arched over, the petals of the flowers curling at the tips and turning brown.

The soil was so dry on top that it was blowing around in the wind.

This part of the garden hadn’t been taken care of in a long time.

I looked around and saw a few gardeners in other parts of the garden. They were working hard and I could see how healthy those areas were. Why did no one come and take care of these flower beds?

It was strange that Luther kept most of the mansion in good order while intentionally leaving some parts in their dilapidated state. Maybe like the left wing of his mansion, there was some sentimental meaning of these flower beds as well.

I knelt down beside one of the rose bushes and pulled some fallen leaves away. Underneath was a small sprout, struggling to get free. I helped the little sprout angle toward the sunlight.

Poor thing wouldn’t last long without water and proper care.

The same weedy vines that choked the rose bushes would take over this little plant, too.

Feeling bad for the garden, I went to the nearest tool shed.
