Chapter 241

Zinnia absentmindedly tapped her cup, a slight frown appearing on her face. ‘Why do I feel so off?‘ she wondered, unable to pinpoint the source of her

unease.

“What’s wrong? Can’t hold it? Let me take it for you,” Yannis said gently when he saw Zinnia frown, steadying the oversized cup in her arms. The cup was a bit heavy, and though he wanted to help, she insisted on holding it herself.

“It’s fine. I can handle it.” Zinnia shook her head, and then lowered her gaze and took a sip of her coffee. She didn’t bother trying to untangle the jumble of emotions inside her. Lately, they’d been swirling around all the time.

She was used to it, and they hadn’t done her any harm. Zinnia wasn’t one for patience; if she couldn’t figure them out, she’d just let them go.

While they chatted, the shop assistant was busy at work. Then, a voice called from the floral counter. “Your order is ready”

The two turned to see the finished floral arrangement in the assistant’s hands. Zinnia’s eyes widened in surprise, and Yannis showed a hint of

satisfaction.

The assistant approached carrying a three–foot–long rose stick. When the other customers in the shop caught sight of this unique bouquet, their eyes lit

up with amazement.

Tugging at her boyfriend’s sleeve, a girl cooed, “I want one like that, too.”

A customer gasped, “Who knew flowers could be arranged like this? They’re absolutely gorgeous.”

“Who’s the genius who came up with this? Absolutely brilliant!”

The iced blue roses were artfully wrapped around the stick, adorned with satin ribbons and glistening pearl–string lights. Under the admiring gazes of onlookers, the assistant approached, carrying the stunning bouquet over to Yannis and Zinnia.

Yannis took the bouquet, and then turned to relieve Zinnia of her coffee cup, pressing the flowers into her hands as her eyes sparkled with delight. With a gentle, teasing smile, he murmured, “Here–your very own rose bouquet.”

Her delicate fingers curled around the slender stick, her thick lashes casting shadows over her cheeks as she gazed at the “bouquet” in her hands.

With everyone’s eyes on them, Zinnia, a girl who loved surprises, held the unique bouquet that no one else had, her delight impossible to hide.

Looking down at the flowers, she chirped sweetly, “Thank you, Yarnis.” Her eyes curved into crescents as she looked up at him with a joyful smile, her bright, sparkling gaze reflecting his handsome face.

Yannis lowered his gaze, meeting Zinnia’s eyes brimming with pure joy. His heart skipped a beat as turbulent emotions surged within him. He rubbed his fingertips together, steadying the flutter in his chest.

‘No man could resist those eyes–so full of trust and dependence, seeing only me. It’s enough to make my defenses crumble,‘ he thought.

Yannis sighed inwardly, ‘She’s so easy to please. Just a beautiful bouquet, and she looks at me with those adoring eyes, as if her whole world is filled with nothing but me.’

“Yannis, shall we head back now?” Zinnia said cheerfully, tugging at the hem of his shirt since his hands were full with all their purchases.

The flowers were stunning. Zinnia just had to go back, snap some photos, and show them off. She adored flowers, every kind there was. When she lived in the village, fresh blooms would magically appear in her room every morning.

There would be tulips, peonies, magnolias in spring; jasmine, bellflowers, sunflowers in summer; osmanthus, panicle hydrangeas, camellias in autumn; wintersweet, cymbidium orchids, and clivia in winter.

Knowing how much she loved flowers, Nathan specifically built her a greenhouse and cultivated a garden just for her. For over a decade, every single day without fail, he would replace the flowers in her room with fresh ones.

Chapter 241

After moving in with the Shaw family, Zinnia had to let go of her old habit. Still, every now and then, Lucas would pick a flower for her. Each time she received one, it brought a little burst of joy to her heart.

The last proper bouquet Zinnia had received was from Lydia, a single, beautiful sunflower. Now, for the second time, it was this very moment. Yannis had given her.

Zinnia could easily buy flowers herself, but during her two–month stay with the Shaw family, she just hadn’t been in the mood. Still, she realized that getting flowers out of the blue could bring her real joy. Deep down, she still loved flowers.

“Like it?” Yannis asked, letting Zinnia tug him out of the flower shop by his shirt hem.

“I love it. Absolutely love it,” Zinnia beamed, nodding enthusiastically.

As soon as she got in the car, Zinnia handed the food she’d brought to Emily and Stephen in the front seat, smiling as she said, “These are for you.”

Zinnia always got a share for Emily and Stephen whenever she bought anything. After all, she knew they’d likely be working hard to keep her safe for quite some time.

Donald’s whereabouts remained unknown. Among the Shaw brothers, except for Howard, Yosef was sentenced to two years in prison, Timothy to one year, Maelis received ten years, and even Betty got three. The Shaw family had completely collapsed.

Donald was the only one who managed to escape, and he still hadn’t been found. For days now, Yannis and his team had been searching relentlessly, but it was as if Donald had vanished into thin air.

Zinnia never shortchanged those close to her. Her principle was simple: treat her well, and she’d return the favor tenfold.
