What do you think?” With a shake of her head, Flossie wiped away her tears and hugged Quinton.
“No, you did such a good job that I thought we had travelled back in time.
It looks exactly like the Ellsworth Manor I grew up in.
I’m only crying because I’m touched and recalled a lot of my childhood memories.
How nice it would be if you weren’t kidnapped back then and you grew up with me…” Flossie confessed her inner thoughts to Quinton.
She was indeed very touched; only family members could give one this kind of feeling.
However, when she thought of how Quinton had done those cruel things, she felt conflicted.
“Silly girl, we can’t change the past, but we have control over the present and future.
We should live in the moment.” Quinton patted her back to comfort her.
He stared at the beautiful house in pride, and began to imagine the wonderful memories they would create here in the future.
“I made a swing under the large pagoda tree in the yard, so you, Adie, and Abby can play there.
The pagoda tree smells so good, and when its flowers fall, it looks like snow.
I’m sure the two kids will like it…” “Yeah, I’m sure they will.
I loved playing with the swing in the yard during my childhood.
I didn’t expect you to restore such a small thing,” Flossie sobbed as she spoke.
Her brother was indeed the best in the world… How could she accuse him? “There, there.
Stop crying.
Let’s not just stand here, we should go in and take a look around.” Quinton let go of Flossie and held her hand as they walked into Ellsworth Manor.
Flossie remained silent as she walked behind him.
She was greatly moved by what Quinton had done, but at the same time, she wondered when she should talk things out with him.
More than an hour passed by this way, and finally, she knew that she could not delay it anymore.
She had to uncover those dark secrets for the sake of Joanne, Halston, and Quinton.
“Flossie, look.
This back garden is vacant now but I planted the sunflower seeds from Angria a while back.
You’ll be able to see a garden full of sunflowers when you come here next month,” Quinton said enthusiastically as he stood on the balcony on the second floor.
Flossie was his younger sister and his last remaining family member.
He tried his best to treat her nicely, and yearned to give her all the best things in the world.
He had heard from Margaret that Flossie loved sunflowers the most, so after asking around, he shipped a batch of high-quality sunflower seeds all the way from Angria.
The sunflower was the national flower of Angria, so naturally, the ones that grew there were the best.
Flossie deserved the best of everything.
“And I dug up a manmade lake over there, so you and the kids can sail a boat there.
And…” “Quinton!” Flossie took a deep breath and interrupted him.
At his confused look, she sighed and looked at him solemnly.
“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” Quinton asked her hesitantly.
He could tell that something was weighing on Flossie’s mind, and he could pretty much guess what it was.
He didn’t want to open Pandora’s box, so he didn’t ask her about it, but now it seemed like he could not ignore it any longer.
He had to face the consequences of his actions.
“Ask me whatever you want to ask.
I’ll tell you everything honestly.” Quinton stopped smiling and became serious too.
Flossie clenched her fists and said, “I want you to tell me about what happened in the past with Halston.
Are you really as innocent as you claim?” “I never said that I was innocent.
Every battle will have a winner and a loser.
Halston was capable but shameless when he defeated me back then.
I have nothing to say about that.
The only thing I can do is try to defeat him this time…” His eyes glittered, and he said shrewdly, “Like now.
It’s a great chance for us to defeat him since everyone is now on our side.
We need to grab this opportunity!” “Both you and him might not be innocent… but Joanne is,” Flossie said softly after gathering her courage.
“Shut up!” Quinton’s expression instantly became sinister and twisted.
He was no longer his gentle self, and he looked like a stranger now.
Joanne had always been a taboo topic, so nobody had dared to bring her up in front of him.
“Quinton, we have to talk about this if you trust me and want to leave that pain behind.” Flossie carefully put her hand on Quinton’s shoulder and asked softly, “Joanne didn’t betray you.
She just wanted to take revenge on you, right?” “What do you know?” Quinton pushed Flossie aside, his eyes filled with rage.
He snarled at her, “Did Halston trick you? It’s only been a few days, but you’re already on his side? Why do you trust everything he says instead of me? You think that your man is more important than your brother, don’t you?” “No!” Flossie couldn’t believe how Quinton was acting.
He was always so tolerant and loving, but it was clear that he became unhinged when it came to Joanne.
He couldn’t tell right from wrong, and would lash out at anybody.
“You know that if it came down to that, I would always choose you.
If I didn’t, I would not still see you as my brother even after you blinded him and nearly got him killed.
I’m just worried about you, and I’m trying to help you get over your grudges…” “If you’re on my side and want to help me, you should ruin the Guajardo family and Halston… Only then can my past humiliation and ruined face recover.” Quinton’s difficult past had turned him into a stubborn and radical person.
