e also knew that once Iris made up her mind, no one would be able to convince her otherwise.

She heaved a silent sigh and changed the subject.
“Ma’am, the pot of Jade Orchids you wanted to buy will be delivered soon, right? Where should we put it?”

Sure enough, Iris finally perked up a little when she heard this.
She stood up and walked one round in the greenhouse with Mrs.
Landis.
At last, she said, “That pot of Jade Orchids is very rare and very difficult to take care of.
We must treat it with great care.”

“Okay.”

As the two chatted, they got busy in the greenhouse.

Seeing that she was finally no longer so listless anymore, Mrs.
Landis breathed a sigh of relief.

An hour later, the two finally made room for the new pot of orchid.
Only then did they sit down again.

Night had almost fallen.
The sky had gradually darkened, and the surroundings were quiet.
Apart from the chirping of birds, there was no other sound.

When one looked up, through the small courtyard, they could see the skies of New York that were hazy all year round.

Iris had lived like this for a whole twenty

years.

Mrs.
Landis had left to make dinner.
As Iris sat in the greenhouse, her gaze fell onto Mrs.
Landis’ cell phone again, hardly able to stand the itch in her heart.

Suddenly, she really wanted to hear Cherry’s voice.

She opened the live-stream again.
At once, she heard Cherry’s clear and pleasant voice: “… Jungler, have you gone invisible? How come I never see you during team battles?”

Iris couldn’t help but smile at the way she spoke when she dissed other players, and she almost laughed out loud.

As expected, Cherry was still the same bundle of joy she knew her to be.

Beep.

At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang

Iris picked it up casually, the smile still on her face.
She saw that someone had sent her a short video.
She opened it casually, upon which Lauren’s face immediately appeared.
She was speaking to the camera with a smile on her face, “Iris, I am going to go and play with Cherry now.
Cherry has always been a very polite and adorable child~”

Iris: “!!”

She stood up angrily.
Lauren must have been afraid that she wouldn’t believe that they had a better relationship with Justin’s family, so she had deliberately sent that to provoke her, right?

Iris was jealous and envious, but even more helpless and sad.

She stared at the video.
She could see that it was Cherry’s room that Lauren was about to enter.

The next moment, in Cherry’s live-stream, the sound of someone knocking on the door, as well as Lauren’s gentle voice rang out: “Cherry? Grandma’s coming in, okay_?”

Iris clenched her fists.

She looked at Mrs.
Landis’ cell phone and stared at Cherry’s live-stream.

She wanted to close it so that she wouldn’t see their interaction, yet at the same time, she wanted to open her eyes wide and take a good look at what exactly she had lost…

She felt as though a big invisible hand had closed around her heart tightly.
Her chest felt stuffy and tight, and she felt awfully aggrieved.

Just as she was in a dilemma, she heard Cherry’s young and tender voice become impatient: “Who said you could come in here?”
