Chapter 40: Apology

Seeing that Randall had gone too far to catch up, I decided to focus on the present.

I lowered my head and counted the roses. I had cut enough. I picked up the basket and went back inside. When I looked up, I saw all the materials I needed for the next step on the table.

Mrs. Kelly was so gentle and thoughtful. Fortunately, Mrs. Kelly had everything. The thoughtful Mrs. Kelly had even prepared colored paper to wrap the roses for me.

I climbed onto a chair, stood on it, and carefully trimmed the roses. Then I wrapped them.

I looked at the roses in my hand. They weren’t as pretty as the ones at the florist’s, and they had some flaws. The straps weren’t very good, but I was happy. When Steve came back, I could give the bouquet to him. I could proudly say to him, “I made this gift myself.”

After a while, Mrs. Kelly’s dessert was ready. She came over and asked me to try it. Mrs. Kelly was extremely surprised when she saw the gift I prepared. She covered her mouth and gave me a thumbs-up, “Little Sheila, you’re amazing! I didn’t expect you to do so well. Even compared to the ones sold in flower shops, this isn’t bad. I believe that when Steve sees this bouquet of roses, he will definitely like it.”

I lowered my head in embarrassment. “Thank you, Aunt Kelly.”

“You’re welcome. Come, come, come. I will take you to eat dessert.” Mrs. Kelly enthusiastically took me to taste the dessert that she had just made.

Randall ran into the bedroom angrily and was now called down by Mrs. Kelly to eat dessert.

When Randall passed by the living room, he looked up and saw the roses that I had carefully prepared. One rose after another was neatly folded, tied with long ribbons, and tied with a cute bow.

Randall stared at the bouquet of flowers, and the image of Sheila when she was happily preparing the present for Steve suddenly appeared in his mind. At that time, Sheila seemed to be glowing from head to toe. Randall could not help but clench his fists, he felt more and more upset. Thinking back, Sheila seemed to have never smiled at him like this before!

This bouquet of roses was really exquisite and beautiful. With just a glance, one could tell how much effort the person who prepared this gift had put into it.

The more Randall looked at it, the more he disliked it. He needed to vent his anger. He did not want to eat dessert anymore. The anger had already swept through his entire rationality.

He angrily grabbed the bouquet of roses on the table and threw it on the ground. Randall still didn’t feel appeased yet, so he stomped on the roses!

I was sitting in the chair and enjoying Mrs. Kelly’s dessert when I suddenly heard a strange sound in the living room.

Mrs. Kelly, who was next to me, heard it too. She didn’t know what was going on. Mrs. Kelly pulled me out of my chair and we both went to check it out.

I walked into the living room and was shocked to see what was happening! The dessert I was holding onto fell to the ground the moment I saw what was happening.

The beautiful bouquet of roses I had just spent nearly three hours and so much energy preparing was lying in a mess on the cold floor with Randall standing next to it. There were even still a few remaining rose petals on his shoes.

My mind was blank, and all I could think about was that the surprise I had prepared for Steve was gone.

I was so angry that I was trembling. I raised my head and stared straight at Randall. I gritted my teeth and roared, “Randall, what are you doing! You will pay for this!”

Mrs. Kelly was also very surprised by this scene. Although her son was naughty, he had never destroyed other people’s things in such a malicious manner.

Mrs. Kelly was just about to open her mouth to scold him when I turned around and ran out. Right now, I didn’t want to listen to anyone. I only wanted to find my Uncle Steve.

Just as I stepped out of the room, I saw Steve walking over quickly. He was still wearing his business suit and holding a briefcase. Steve directly ordered the driver to park the car in the garage. He came to pick me up without even returning to his house first!

I quickly threw myself into Steve’s arms. When I thought about how the gift I had prepared for him had been ruined by Randall, the grievance in my heart was magnified. My tears fell like pearls from a cut string..
