Charlie chuckled softly, noticing Jacob’s evident concern that ine would discover Matilda had already returned to China.


    However, it was clear that even if Jacob managed to keep this secret for a while, he could never hide it from her for good.<fn867c> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? Find_Novel(.</fn867c>

    Lady Wilson was a light sleeper. When she heard somemotion outside, she got out of bed and made her way to the balcony.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Upon peering out, she noticed that Charlie’s house was aglow with lights. A closer look revealed numerous workers busy nting fruits and vegetables for him!


    What on earth was going on?


    Shouldn’t they disy something first before nting vegetables?


    What Charlie was doing felt like he was transferring an entire vegetable garden into his yard.


    A country bumpkin would always be a country bumpkin. He had such a lovely vi, yet he was ruining its charm by filling it with a mishmash of fruits and vegetables!


    If it were her, she would have opted for elegant flowers to enhance the vi’s beauty!


    Nheless, she noted that the quality of the fruits and vegetables being nted appeared quite good. They seemed to be organic and rather expensive.


    With that thought, Lady Wilson began plotting to send Hannah over tomorrow to snag some of those fruits and vegetables.


    Meanwhile, Hannah was tossing and turning in bed, unable to find anyfort.


    The itchiness had intensified, bing unbearable.


    In desperation, she decided to take a shower to alleviate the difort.

    She vowed never to indulge in either of those foods again.


    Worried about the coffee machine and how to sneak it out of the vi without her family noticing, Hannah rose at five in the morning. She quietly slipped into the kitchen and made her way out, coffee machine in hand.


    As she passed Charlie’s house, she noticed that the vegetable garden he was preparing for his wife was nearly finished.


    Peering through the courtyard fence, Hannah was surprised to see that arge vegetable plot had sprouted overnight in Charlie’s yard. Though taken aback, she brushed it off; her mind was too upied to focus on anything else at that moment.


    After waiting at the entrance of the Thompson Firstmunity vi for over an hour, the buyer for the coffee machine finally arrived. The first thing Hannah did upon receiving the money was call a cab to rush her to the People’s Hospital without dy!
