Abandoned Flower's

Will Not Return

Winter had heard all the news from Dylan while searching for information about Flo and now he called back to call Agustin to face him today.

"I don't think Mr. Winter wants to see me anymore." Agustin bowed respectfully as he faced Winter.

"Don't talk about that shameful thing again. Do you know where Flo is??"

Agustin was silent for a moment. "Yesterday sir Dylan asked me this question, why would a noble with the title of knight of the palace ask a common woman? Then I told him to go and don't interfere anymore."

Winter raised his eyebrows and looked at Agustin. "What is that saying you're pointing at for me??"

Agustin went back into silence for a while and sighed. "Master Winter, though presumptuous but I plead with you very much. He has nothing to do with you, please forget him. Let's just say he's gone from your life." Agustin begged and almost almost let out his tears, he disliked Flo. It dislikes it as much as 80% of Luckingham residents.

The little boy was arrogant and careless when he first came to Luckingham, even Michael called him the daughter of his loved ones in the presence of his wife and family. Until the child grows up, Agustin's sympathy does not also appear especially the attitude of Flo who is arrogant and disdainful because Michael is very protective. Flo makes a big deal of it, driving away and torturing the main house maid until the woman has a leg defect just because she glanced at Winter.

But over time Agustin who was loyal to Michael could see the great affection that Michael poured out for Flo solely not only because Flo was the wife of the person he loved so much but because the child was in desperate need affections. Even Michael entrusted Agustin to keep Flo in check when he retired and left Luckingham. It all makes Agustin inevitably take part to protect Flo and feel sorry for the woman's life. And recent events have allowed this old man to judge Flo from another point of view.

Please Mr. Winter to ignore him to the end, so as not to make him wish that little.

"That's my wish." Agustin raised his head, "I resigned myself."

"What.. is she okay??" Winter's question restrains Agustin from opening the door.

"Yes sir.." Agustin stared at Winter for a moment. "He's fine." Then the middle-aged man walked out of Winter's study.

Winter chuckles and squeaks, "Lie! Her soft skin was too thin to be easily injured and scuffed. His thin lips, impatient nature. Not to mention he would faint from anger if his wish was not fulfilled. So, how could he be fine without any servants taking care of him?!" Winter pinched the base of his nose, for whatever reason he was feeling frustrated at the moment.

"What are you doing??" Flo approached the three servants who were busy behind the house, making the three servants surprised.

"Mistress?!" Gemma stood up to clean her hands and rubbed her sweat. "Why is madam here?? It's hot and smelly, let's go in! What does the madam need? Sorry we didn't hear the lady's call." Gemma led Flo into the house.

Flo held Gemma's hand, "I didn't call you, nor did I need anything. I was just wondering what you guys were doing in the morning."

"Oh this one..." Gemma confusedly explained.

"Gloria before working in Luckingham was the mistress potter!" Nora answered enthusiastically, her clay-covered hand rubbing her sweat until her face became fir by the ground. "Now Gloria is teaching us how to make plates!"

"Don't say anything unimportant to your mistress!" Gloria kicks Nora's leg making the girl cut down.

"Ceramic plate??"

"Yes!" In the spirit of Nora raised the beautiful plate plate they had made. "We made this! It can be sold in the market and we will make money!!"

Again Gloria and Gemma kicked Nora, gesturing for the youngest to not say much.

"Money??" Flo grew increasingly clueless, then he looked at Gemma who was the oldest among the three of them. "Explain me!"

Gemma looked at Nora as hard as she was at first but Flo's sharp gaze made her look scared. "That's madam, the three of us still have to send money to the hometown. We can't possibly ask for money from Mr. Ethan. So. we work side by side and there happens to be a lot of clay that can be processed in the back shed."

Flo fell silent for a while and turned around to go inside. "Tomorrow I'll help you trade the markets!" Said the woman haughty.

Winter returns today to visit Summer, she is greeted by Summer's servant. "Where's Miss Summer?"

"I salute Mr. Winter. Miss Summer has been visiting Leana's mistress' residence since noon. I'll call him back now."

"No need." Winter turned around, but she saw a lilac painting on the table. "Is that Miss Summer who painted it?"

"really. It's Miss Summer's painting." Answer the waiter.

"He had a talent for painting, and Flo could not paint at all." Winter took the painting and muttered softly and smiled, but she realized herself at the thought of Flo and immediately put the painting down again with a sour face.

"Ah that's Miss Summer." His servant sees Summer coming back with a small run.

"Master Winter?! When did you come??" Summer's cheeks blushed with gasping breath.

"Why are you running like that?" Winter smiled at Summer. "I can wait."

Summer was stunned to see Winter's smile until it became a mistake. "I'll make tea." The woman rushed to drop her painting on the table. "Aah!" Then Summer looked at Winter. "What Mr. Winter remembers, the art book that Mr. Winter once gave. A book about painting, I've put it into practice. I paint pear flowers. Does Mr Winter like pear flowers?"

Soon Winter's face hardened, many memories of the pear flowers reminding her of Flo.

Summer continued to stare at Winter, "Lord Winter's face was just like that time."

"That time?" Confused Winter.

"When I saw Mr. Winter looking at the pear tree. Does Mr Winter like pear flowers so much?"

"No." Decih Winters. "I hate pear flowers."

Summer was speechless to Winter's words and instantly broke the awkwardness, "Ah yes, I will brew tea."

..

"Please drink it." Summer serves tea in front of Winter.

"Thank you." Winer took a sip of the fragrant aroma from the hot tea, "What are you talking about at the Leana aunt's residence?"

"It's nothing." Summer smiled, "He called me just out of boredom."

Dylan who followed Winter saw the interaction between Summer and Winter being so warm, the man fell silent.

If only.the feeling was one hundredth ah not one tenth of a thousand is okay..

"Mr Winter." Summer looked at Winter deeply, taking a breath determined to speak her heart. "Will it be after Mr Winter is not busy willing to come back? I want to give you an answer." Summer said nervously and embarrassed.

Dylan who also heard Summer's words raised his eyebrows in surprise.

It's all over Altez, even if you're guarding the flower palace. He will not return forever.
