“Grandpa, can I invite you to dinner tonight? Let’s go to the revolving restaurant up there.”
“Okay!” Grandpa agreed with enthusiasm.
Elisa received a text message from the bank notifying her that her client had sent all the money as promised whilst she was out shopping. On the other hand, Elisa suggested a restaurant restaurant that costs extremely expensive. Regardless, she still owed a meal to her grandpa and she has money today so it doesn’t matter much.
Besides. Elisa knew there would be no other chance in the future!
The two arrived at the restaurant and sat near the window. The buzzling view of New York City is beyond astonishing under the full moon. The stars in the sky are bright, and the neon on the ground is dazzling— complementing each other.
Mr. Fisher really liked the ambiance here, and he knew that this place is suitable for couples‘ dates. On each table, there is a large bouquet of red roses, which is great for girls who come with their boyfriends.
Mr. Fisher suddenly sighed, he knew his grandson was stubborn and wouldn’t appreciate Elisa and this though made him exasperated at some point.
After dinner, Elisabeth was about to pay the bill when Mr. Fisher didn’t let her.
“Don’t worry, I’ll shoulder the bill, dear.” He said which Elisa refused.
“No, grandpa! I invited you to dinner, so I will pay.” Elisabeth’s attitude was very firm, insisting what she
wanted.
Grandpa still held the menu tightly and looked at Elisabeth with a majestic look on his face.
“Let me do it, grandpa.” She acted firmly. “I want to use the money I received as payment, I spent the last two days busy recording. I finished the task today and gotten my pay! “She knew she had to be firmer with him. “Can you give me this chance, grandpa?”
“Okay, fine. You won. You’ll pay.” Grandpa sounded defeated. Elisabeth happily took the menu and took out her own card.
Grandpa’s heart also blossomed with joy. She was proud and happy because Elisa paid their meals with her own money. She spent days locked in her room working to have a salary and not depending on them.

The clock on the wall read nine fifteen, and the sound of a car was heard outside.
Elisabeth helped grandpa out of the car. She held him with one hand while the other held a large bouquet of red roses.
Elisabeth had secretly been thinking about this all the time. Did she achieve her goal today? The old man’s mood is really difficult to understand.
At least, there is no sign of him hating her. As soon as the two entered the room, Elisabeth’s smile faded.

Elisa’s hands were empty, except for a large bouquet of flowers. Robert clenched his fist. It seems like he had waited for nothing! He hadn’t received any consumption reminders from her. He wanted to see how she would defend herself!
Elisabeth was astounded to see him. Robert’s mood is even more difficult to understand than his grandpa. It is uncertain and temperamental.
Did she spend too much today? She forgot to ask what his maximum limit was!
However, the old man appeared inside the room out of the blue. His eyes went on Robert.
“What are you doing in this room late at night?” The old man said with disgust. His eyes turned to Elisabeth, immediately changing his face and solemnly talking to her. “You better rest now, my dear. I know you’re tired.”
Before Elisa could speak, Robert cut him off with his annoyed voice.
“We’re legally married. Isn’t it normal if we live in the same room?” Robert’s claim made Elisa stunned, flabbergasted by his affirmation. “Bring me back to my room, Elisa.” Robert suddenly said. Elisabeth’s little universe wants to explode due to annoyance and Robert’s abrupt command.
Without saying anything else, she went after Robert. She was about to push the wheelchair when she realized she was still holding a large bouquet of red roses in her arms.
Elisa put the flowers directly into Robert’s arms. Robert didn’t even have the right to refuse, such a large bouquet filled his entire arms! He was in awe holding it.
The old man wanted to laugh seeing Robert’s face yet he remained holding his cold face and watched the two as they disappeared.
Soon enough, the old man knew Elisa could somehow heal some parts of Robert that had been broken. With that being said, Elisa could melt Robert’s coldness within him.
As soon as they entered inside Robert’s room, the man threw the flower on the bed with disgust. It fell on the floor as she ogled at him furiously. Elisa clenched her jaw, she kneeled a little and picked it up one by
one.
No one can look at Robert in his eyes when he’s angry. Unfortunately, she’s one of those.
“I followed what you said regarding acting like a gold digger,” Elisa affirmed with her serious tone.
“Through what? You just bought this useless bouquet of flowers!” Robert sarcastically said.
“I didn’t buy this flower, I bought it/for dinner… But-” before she could speak, he interrupted her.
“It seems like you’re not fully aware of who I really am. The hospital where your mother currently is can stop her treatment with just a few words.” He warned, threatening Elisabeth.
He didn’t want to waste time with her!
Elisabeth’s face was pale as paper, and the blood in her whole body seemed to have been drained! At this moment, the emotions that arose in her heart were extremely complicated and tangled, making her unable to breathe.

For a while, Elisa was drawn in her clouded thoughts. She left New York after her mother divorced Jordge. Elisa’s family isn’t rich, and there was a time when everything became difficult for them to handle. They rented a ten square meter house. It was dark, damp, and you couldn’t see the sun all day. She hasn’t even bought a new dress for more than three years for herself. Not even her clothes and school uniform has been changed. It remained short and tight. Her classmates mercilessly ridiculed and many laughed behind her back.
However, Elisa didn’t feel any bitterness inside her after all.
