Elizabeth had been in Oceaton for a while now, and Jonathan had never once brought Anneliese over to meet his mother. She only thought it was necessary to let him know that Elizabeth had suddenly reached out to her.

She never imagined Jonathan would show up in person, or that he’d get there so fast and at just the right time.

He walked in right as things with Elizabeth hit a breaking point, which made it look as if she really had orchestrated the whole thing just to drive a wedge between them.

Anneliese instinctively glanced at the man by her side, her heart tightening with worry.

After all, Elizabeth was his mother. Maybe he’d believe Elizabeth over her?

Back when Melody was always making snide remarks about her in front of Zacharias, he would tell her to swallow her pride and apologize, just to keep the peace at home. He’d also tell her to buy things for Melody and Lenora to keep them happy.

Anneliese suddenly felt a wave of fear and uncertainty. Without even thinking, she tried to pull her hand from Jonathan’s, but he instantly squeezed her hand tighter, intertwining their fingers.

He paused, turned back, and spoke coldly, “You’re overthinking it. No one can drive a wedge between us. Mom, next time you want to see Anne, let me know first.”

With that, he ignored Elizabeth’s dark expression and strode out of the private room, all while holding Anneliese’s hand.

He walked so fast that Anneliese had to jog to keep up. As soon as they stepped outside, she spotted the butler leaning against the wall, clutching his leg, looking like he was hurt.

When he saw them come out, he shrank back even further, clearly trying not to be noticed.

Anneliese was silent the whole way as Jonathan led her out of the café. He only let go to let her get into the passenger seat, then walked around to get in the driver’s side.

She was just thinking how to break the ice when Jonathan turned to her first.

“Do

you smell anything?”

His voice was gentle now, the sharpness from before completely gone.

His hair was still a bit damp, with traces of coffee left.

By all rights, he should have looked a mess, but he looked as calm and composed as ever. Some people just had that quality. No matter what happened, nothing could bring them down.

Anneliese froze for a moment. Any comforting words she’d had were suddenly useless. She had to admit, she was impressed by his ability to handle his emotions, but then she picked up on the scent in the car.

Now that he mentioned it, the car was definitely filled with a floral fragrance.

“Do I smell roses?”

She started to turn to look, and Jonathan reached into the back seat and brought out a huge bouquet of roses.

The rich scent of roses filled the car, and Anneliese’s arms were suddenly overflowing with deep red blooms.

She glanced down at the roses. Those roses were Rhodos red roses, velvet and vibrant, absolutely beautiful.

She couldn’t help feeling a bit surprised. “Why are you giving me flowers? It’s not a special occasion today.”

She leaned in to smell them, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Jonathan.

“Mm. I just wanted to. If you need a reason…”

Jonathan started the car, then turned to look at her.

“It’s on the card.”

Anneliese was curious why he’d brought flowers and even bothered to include a card. She looked through the bouquet, finally finding a small card hidden between the flowers.

She flipped it over and saw a date written in Jonathan’s handwriting.
