The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 906

Sasha could see that Winston genuinely adored the flower, but it belonged to the Linklater family's pond, a unique and rare dual-colored peony, no less. Getting it would require Arthur's approval. Alyssa's eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she spoke softly, "I didn't think it through. I saw how much my brother loved it and wanted to give it to him. Winston has always been the apple of our family's eye and I overstepped."

"But I must ask, Ms. Perez, could you please consider gifting us that dual-colored peony? I wouldn't take it for nothing; I'm willing to trade something for it!"

"My grandfather always said we should make sure Winston leaves happy, and I want to honor that."

Her sincerity was evident, showcasing nothing but a sister's deep love and commitment.

Arthur furrowed his brows, his voice deep and serious, "It's just a peony. The Linklater family can cultivate another if we choose. I already promised him a flower from the pond, one he could pick himself." What was meant to be a joyful gift of flowers was now a mess, thanks to Alyssa, souring Arthur's mood significantly.

Trouble seemed to follow this woman!

Alyssa glanced at the coveted peony, still out of reach. If she wanted to take it home without ruining it, she'd need to cut it carefully at the stem.

Surrounded by other flowers and leaves, she found herself in a dilemma, her pleading eyes turning to Arthur, silently asking for his help to retrieve the flower.

Arthur's patience was wearing thin as he asked, "Do you want me to arrange a boat for you so the boatman can help you pick that peony?"
