The car headed in the direction of the Carrington’s household.
This trip was not a whim, nor was it a "hocoming", but a response to a ssage from Chase Carrington.
[(Picture) I went fishing today and caught quite a lot. If you have ti, co ho for dinner. I will cook in person.]
The picture displayed dozens of sea fishes, as well as so shrimps and crabs.
Aside from Chase’s ssage, there was also a ssage from Layla Lowell.
[Charles Carrington’s father suddenly invited over to his house for dinner, should I go?]
Chloe responded by sending her a screenshot.
With that, a good amount of Layla’s nervousness was eased, and she agreed cheerfully.
Chloe then sent the screenshot to Charles Carrington, only to find out he was completely unaware of this invitation.
[? Our dad, cooking personally? Did his account get hacked? Or are you ssing with ?]
[Chloe: It’s legit.]
[He’s cooking? Are you sure he doesn’t just an the house chef is preparing sothing for you to eat when you co back?]
Chloe couldn’t be bothered to engage in the back-and-forth, she simply replied: "Fishie will also co."
Upon receiving this ssage, Charles instantly went silent, likely seeking out Layla.
Heijii, her eager follower, couldn’t help but ask: "Boss, what’s going on between Fishie and Mr. Carrington? They’ve broken up and gotten back together so many tis, are they getting married or not?"
"How would I know about other people’s feelings?" Chloe responded indifferently, before turning her attention to her ga.
Heijii chuckled, saying, "It’s incredible they ended up together, I often saw them fighting in the past. I never imagined they could fight their way into a relationship."
After saying this, he glanced at Chloe from the rearview mirror and noticed her concentrating on her ga, so he decided not to continue the conversation.
More than half an hour later, they arrived at the Carrington’s household.
Upon getting out of the car, Chloe gave Heijii the rest of the day off, allowing him to organize his schedule. She then followed the butler towards the compound.
The last ti she was here, she hadn’t had the chance to properly survey the house, the only thing she rembered was the ancestral hall.
Now, with no urgent matters, she took her ti, taking in everything she saw.
This mansion was more elegant than Feng Mansion, less pretentious, and matched Chase Carrington’s personality.
A delicate aroma suddenly stopped her in her tracks.
"Where is this peach blossom scent coming from?"
The butler turned around and said with a faint smile: "If you pass through this corridor, you’ll find the Peach Garden that Mr. Carrington specifically built for you, Young Miss. It’s the perfect ti to enjoy the flourishing peach blossoms, would you like to take a look?"
"Built for ?"
Chloe was slightly taken aback.
She hadn’t heard anyone talk about this before.
The butler suggested she precede him and then explained gently: "Yes, two years ago when we heard about your situation in the Capitol, as soon as he returned, he instructed us to start building it. The garden is now in full bloom, just waiting for its owner to return."
His words had a certain magic to them, filling Chloe’s heart with warmth.
Her relationship with Chase was strictly professional, to call him "Dad" was still a bit of a challenge for her.
Moreover, Chase didn’t seem like the type of person who would show concern for such matters. According to Charles, he was a busy man who sotis even forgot to eat and didn’t have much ti to attend to his family.
Yet, according to the butler, he had built a peach garden for her.
Her heart was overwheld by a soft warmth.
"What did he hear about?"
The butler didn’t hold back, stating plainly: "He heard about how your treasured plum tree in the Collinses house had been uprooted. He was very angry, and that’s when he ca up with this idea. He even thought further, saying that plum blossoms bloom in winter, symbolizing severe cold while peach blossoms bloom in March symbolizing warmth. He hopes that the rest of your life is full of warmth."
