Chapter 277 Retaliation By The Divorced Heiress

• When Bella found something she liked, she was the type to lose herself in her job to the point of forgetting time and place. Bella instantly realized that Christopher was still waiting for her at this same moment. She spun around quickly, and to her surprise, he was still standing calmly in his original place. Now, a delicately woven flower basket filled with delicate pink flowers was resting on his arm. Bella thought, ‘Those flowers are wonderful, which unavoidably makes me think of the quote—a rose does not respond to its adversaries with words but with beauty.’
• Christopher called out to her, "Ms. Thompson," as he walked over holding the flower basket. Bella hurriedly tried to stop him, worried at how neatly he was dressed. “Ah! Don’t come over! This place is muddy! Christopher, though, disregarded her warnings. With a single goal in mind, he strode through the prickly shrubs to get to her side. Bella felt a little ashamed and pursed her scarlet lips. "Miss Bella, you should have this." Christopher handed her the flower basket, the gentle glow of the sunset sun dancing in his deep eyes. Bella gave a soft grin and said no. "Mr. Iverson, I appreciate your thoughtful action. Nevertheless, these blossoms, I'm unable to accept them.
• It was only a basket of flowers, but they were roses, and roses have different meanings. It would be improper to accept them. Anticipating her rejection, Christopher adjusted his strategy. "Flowers complement a lady's beauty; that's just one aspect," he remarked, grinning. More significantly, I wanted to offer you a basket to study so you could see Miss Thompson's enthusiasm in the roses I planted. You may take this dirt back, transplant it into your garden, and give it careful care beneath the blooms. They will always be in bloom. With this justification, Bella was unable to object further. "Thank you, Mr. Iverson, for your gift," she said as she reached out to take the flower basket after a little moment of hesitation.
