Chapter 24 Return to Butterfly Garden
There was no musty and stench as imagined, and there was no run-down room full of dust.
On the contrary, there was a burst of sweet fragrance in the room, and the layout of the hall was the same as when she lived before, the familiar flower arrangement, the few potted plants she left on the windowsill, and even the location of the furniture did not move a bit.
Amanda couldn't understand, with Steven's character, how could he handle this place so well where she once lived after she left.
Butterfly Garden used to be the place where only the Boll family’s patriarch could live in. Living here declared that they were the supreme existence recognized by the Boll family, and they were the host and the hostess of the house recognized by the Boll family.
He and Anne should have lived here originally, but she was the one who lived here in the end.
In his eyes, she had exhausted every means to get him, so even if she became the envy of outsiders, she was still the most disgusting existence in his eyes.
Amanda thought that Steven would demolish it as soon as possible after she left, or dispose of it as an abandoned house. In short, it shouldn't be what it is now.
The sudden rush of thoughts encroached on Amanda's mind so that she didn't even hear the footsteps not far away until there was a crisp sound, she raised her eyes in shock and was suddenly stunned.
The person on the other side was also surprised. The porcelain bowl was shattered to the ground next to her, and the sticky porridge spilled out of it, but she didn't even see it. Her eyes were fixed on Amanda's face, her voice trembled so much that she almost lost her voice. : "Miss...?"
Amanda's lips moved, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face not far away, her heart moved, and her eyes felt a little hot with tears.
The person could not restrain her excitement. She walked past the mess in three or two steps, came to Amanda, stretched out her hands, as if to confirm, she squeezed Amanda over and over again, from hand to arm.
"Miss." She called again.
"Auntie Rollin." Amanda couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
For so many years, she thought she had a heart made of steel. She came back and met Steven again without changing her face. Standing in front of Anne again, she could strike back unceremoniously.
Even if she returned to this place full of sadness today, she could directly tear open the old scars and appreciate the scars that were once covered like an outsider.
But she didn't expect that she could still meet Aunt Rollin.
She is getting old, with so much gray hair and so many wrinkles on her face.
Like a child who had suffered a lot of grievances, no matter how strong she was in front of outsiders, she couldn't help crying when she returned to her maternal arms.
Amanda was like that child at the moment, tears never stopped falling from the first drop. She raised her hands to hug Aunt Rollin, unable to speak, desperately suppressing her strong emotions, still letting out low-pitched sobbing sounds from time to time.
"Good girl, don't cry, don't cry." Lin Rollin stroked her back comfortingly, with tears on her face as well, weeping with joy and more surprises.
The person who was thought that had died in an accident is now standing in front of her alive. Now she saw him alive again, what could be more surprising than this?
"Mommy, what's the matter with you?" A childish voice suddenly sounded in her ears. Rollin was facing the direction of the door, and she saw Yoyo running in and realized who the mommy in her mouth was in surprise.
Amanda withdrew, turned around, and pulled Yoyo’s hand to explain, suddenly caught a glimpse of Jacob in the courtyard.
He has not left yet.
Amanda frowned. As Steven's assistant, he was as busy as Steven, and he was still here now, it could only be arranged by Steven.
Just thinking about it, Jacob had already looked over.
Amanda quickly staggered and wiped away the remaining tears on her face inadvertently. Then she let go of Yoyo’s hand and walked to the door with high heels.
