The Hibiscus Garden was filled with roses qnd hibiscuses that the Yuan Old Mistress liked when she was younger!

Back then, Old Mistress and Old Master were both deeply inlove with each other, but their fate together was destined to not last long. Old Master was afraid that he might pass before Old Mistress and she will be left alone. Therefore, he planted hibiscus trees all around the core buildings of the mansion. He did that during the last year of his life as his body was getting weaker by the days.

Even though their love was deep as the ocean, but unfortunately that was the end of it!

Due to the example of a loving parent, Dong-wook and his wife also loved each other deeply. Thus, when Dong-wook passed away, his wife could not take the hit and left the world with him!

The men of the Manoban Family wereall very loving and loyal to their spouses, but unfortunately, they were not many of them left when it came to Lisa...

This successor was cold, arrogant and extremely wise mentally!

Jennie recalled that she had chased him for twelve years ever since the age of 10, but it seemed like he never once smiled at her!

...

Jennie took a turn around the Hibiscus Garden.

It had not changed much since a few years ago.

The area of the house was not that big. There were three floors in total and the structures of the house were also in natural wood color.

The living room was on the first floor, with a small tea room right next to it, furnished in Japanese style decoration!

Lisa liked to make his own tea and coffee, so that area was always filled with aromatic smell!

Previously, when Jennie visited the Manoban Mansion, she would linger there and take the first sip of coffee right after Lisa was done making it!

Lisa did not chase her away even though he was not close to her back then. Therefore, Jennie had quite a number of beautiful memories in this sunny little tea room!

Outside of the tea room was an extended piece of empty land, where a relatively small room was made for the maids in the house so that it was easier for them to take care of their Master at night.

Lisa has been pampered more than the others since young. Given that the Manoban Family took the concept of social status very seriously, their servants was not allowed to live in the same building as their Master.

Thus, a stand-alone room was build and Ah Fu lived there.

There were two bedrooms and a study room on the second floor. One of the bedrooms faced South and the other faced east.

Lisa resided in the bedroom that was facing south.

The third floor was a small rooftop and Lisa turned that area into a small garde. There were some woidy plants and some flowers which Jennie did not know that name though she understood that they were all exotic flower seeds from all over the world.

That place also used to be Jennie's favorite spot.

Only in that colorful world, Jennie felt that her Brother Lisa actually existed in this world!

How can a man loved flowers and plants be so cold?

She naively thought since she had been putting in the effort, how could her love not change his cold heart?

But now, Jennie believed that wether a man was loving or not, it all depended on who the person was!

If a man does not love a woman, no matter how much effort the woman put in, it will all be just be bothersome to the man!

...

After taking a turn at the small building, she was reminded of her past memories.

The items in the small building were arranged neatly  and tidily as if one of them were soldiers ready to get into a battle as they waited for an inspection from their boss.

Lisa was a very possessive person,nit allowing other people to casually touch his belongings. He was an end-stage sufferer of obsessive-compulsive disorder!

Nonetheless, she was able to enter this area as she pleased and behaved like a spoiled child freely back then!

It seemed as though Jennie was able to look at the past ten years, back in the days when her young-self wad chasing after Lisa...

...

Jennie tightened her old jacket around her. Instead of sitting down, she turned around and instructed Ah Fu.

"Fill the tub with water, I want to take a bath!"

"Young Mistress, do I still add rose petals into it?" Ah Fu asked carefully!

The look on Jennie's face turned gloomy. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Lalisa told you that?"

"Yes, Young Master said that if Young Mistress were to take a bath when she's back, rose petals will be a necessity. Thus, a few days ago, he sent someone to order a batch of fresh rose petals from Damascus. The gardeners have cleaned it and it is now the best time to use it in your bath
! "

After all, this young girl was still very naive, so she blurted out everything about her Master in just a few sentences!

Probably because of Lisa's actions and before meeting Jennie, Ah Fu believed that Young Mistress was Young Master's loved one...

"Put some in then!"

Jennie had an indifferent expression and it seemed as though she was not moved by Ah Fu's words!

After two years in prison, even a proud young lady from a well-known family had changed all her old habits.

She used the rose petals as a sign of good will to not waste that man's "effort"!

Jennie smiled ironically!
