When Love Comes Knocking novel Chapter 9

With a cold expression, Andrew yanked the curtains closed and averted his gaze. Melina was a woman who could manipulate Wallace into threatening him with marriage. Her tears must all be a facade.

Melina didn't know someone was watching her from the second floor.

She cried for a while, then wiped her tears and pulled herself together.

The damage was done, so there was no point in crying over spilled milk. All she could do now was try her best to fix it.

These orchids had only been uprooted that afternoon. If they were replanted now, some might survive.

Under the moonlight, Melina's unyielding silhouette worked tirelessly in the garden.

It was three in the morning when Andrew shot up, his eyes filled with anger and irritation. Now, he was a stark contrast to his languid indifference during the day.

It was as if he were still caught in a nightmare.

It was too quiet.

The moment he drifted off to sleep, an oppressive silence enveloped him. It was as if he'd been cast into the depths of a pitch-black sewer, a monster trapped in.

Just then, Andrew heard a faint sound.

This soft, rustling sound broke through the darkness that confined him.

He broke free from that emotional turmoil, got up, and walked to the window. Lifting the curtain, he saw the source of the sound, the small, busy figure below.

Those uprooted orchids were being replanted one by one.

Melina was carefully replanting the orchids.

She didn't have much money now, so she was trying to save as much as she could. The losses could be repaid slowly once she earned more.

Her head was spinning—probably from catching a cold after bathing in cold water the day before—but she didn't dare to stop.

The longer the orchids were left out of the soil, the less likely they were to survive.

These were all money.

Money that could be used to buy children's books and stationery.
