Emilia gazed at the kitchen, her anger rising as she saw them whispering among themselves. They
were all rallying around Angela, who was only asking for her living expenses. But for what purpose? It
was all for the sake of the family.
If her daughter hadn’t married a financially struggling teacher like Donald, someone who lacked skills
and money-making prowess compared to James, would their family be confined to such a modest
home?
If she had even half of George’s wealth, she wouldn’t care about the money Angela held.
At least two hundred dollars out of the three hundred she earned each month should contribute to the
family. As an unmarried girl, all the money she earned should be devoted to supporting the family!
After Hecate shared her thoughts, Angela obediently headed back to her room. As she passed by the
dining. table, she noticed Emilia’s displeased expression but chose to ignore it and thoughtfully locked
the door behind her.
After sitting down, she switched on the slightly worn lamp, pulled out her notebook, and planned to
create a detailed list of the medicinal meals she needed to prepare. Considering her morning classes,
which left little time for daily cooking, she aimed to establish a more reasonable schedule.
Once the list was made, she would also give a copy to Jonathan so he and Sebastian would know
when she would be coming over.
Additionally, she contemplated using the money she had for a small investment. With insights into the
next decade and economic trends, it seemed like a missed opportunity not to take proactive steps to
earn
some extra income.
After laying out her plans, Angela spent two days hustling. Alongside her school studies, she bought
raw materials for making milk tea and prepared toppings like grass jelly, pudding, and boba at the part-
time milk tea shop.
The current milk tea was just instant powder, nothing fancy like in the future, at most just adding some
pearls. And there was basically no fruit tea on the market, and the fruit-flavored teas were all
carbonated drinks, which were nothing compared to the variety of fancy ones in the future.
As long as she got a head start, she was confident in her ability to make money.
“Angela, I must say, this pudding really adds a unique flavor to the bubble tea. It’s delicious! How did
you come up with it?” Selene exclaimed as she tasted the new milk tea Angela had made..
There were quite a few milk tea shops near the school, and Selene’s small shop didn’t have much
competitive edge. The daily earnings were merely average, leaving little room for savings after
supporting herself and her son.
Angela smiled. “Selene, this milk tea style is quite common abroad, although it hasn’t gained popularity
here yet. If we take the lead and establish our brand, money won’t be an issue.”
She had already agreed with Selene that for every cup of milk tea sold with toppings, Selene would
receive 20% of the pure profit, and they had even drafted a contract. The future’s widespread
popularity of milk tea assured its appeal to the majority, so she wasn’t concerned about its
marketability.

With a contract in place, she had
go back on their agreement as the dence that Selene wouldn’t business expanded. After all, the latter
seemed to be a person of good character.
Moreover, Angela’s money-making ideas extended beyond bubble tea, and she had a grasp of the
direction of the domestic economy for the next decade or so. If Selene had any vision, she would
recognize the real business opportunity. Without such foresight, growing her business would prove
challenging
“Wow, Miss Kins, this is amazing!” Ron, tired of the usual milk tea flavors at home, was now enjoying
Angela’s delightful fruit tea.
Angela affectionately rubbed his soft face.
“You’re a good boy, Ron. Tomorrow, I’ll make you double-layer milk pudding.”
“Double-layer milk pudding?” His eyes lit up with excitement as he gazed at her like an eager fanboy.
“Miss Kins, what’s that?”
She blinked and playfully kept him in suspense. “You’ll find out tomorrow.”
Selene felt reassured once again as she observed her son getting along so well with Angela and
showing genuine interest in the double-layer milk pudding. Having Angela around was turning out to be
a wise decision.
With her recent experience exploring vegetable markets and various supermarkets, Angela quickly
gathered all the ingredients needed for the double-layer milk pudding as soon as she left the milk tea
shop.
Instead of waiting until the next day, she decided to start making it right away when she got home.
Her plan was to complete it today and store it in the Lawson Family’s double-door refrigerator.
This way, she wouldn’t be rushed to prepare the medicinal meals tomorrow, and she could also bring al
portion to Jess. After getting confirmation from Sebastian that she could go to the Lawson Family’s
house now, Angela finished whipping up all the double-layer milk puddings in an hour, grabbed the list
of medicinal meals she had prepared, and hurried to her destination.
As she reached the entrance, she noticed an increase in potted plants compared to her last visit. While
it still felt a bit empty, it looked much better.
Sebastian grinned, observing her gaze on the plants. “Master Jonathan thought the entrance was a bit
too bare, so he had me move some potted plants here.”
Angela nodded, surveyed the surroundings, and said to him with a smile. “The potted plants do add a
lively touch. Last time I was here, I almost thought I had walked into the wrong place.”
“What kind of plants do you like, Angela?”
Even though they had entered the house, the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows still provided a clear
view of the outside. Sebastian looked at the greenery by the entrance and couldn’t help but wonder
what he should plant next, so he turned to ask her,
Beyond the full-length windows, the bright sun poured through, creating a rhythmic dance of golden
beams that brought warmth into the spacious house. Bathed in sunlight, Angela felt a comforting
warmth

spreading through her entire being. Even her fair fingertips seemed to glow gently.
She didn’t hesitate and answered directly, “Rosebushes.”

“If I had a yard, I would fill it with rosebushes. They would bloom every month, smell lovely, and look
beautiful. Some might think roses are ordinary, but not me. If the rosebushes bloom beautifully, spread
their fragrance, and bring joy, why should anyone else care? Even if they criticize, it won’t bother the
rosebushes. They will continue living their beautiful lives.”
When talking about things Angela liked, her words became more expressive, and her eyes seemed to
light up as if a long-dormant flame had suddenly been ignited.
“Moreover, the rosebush’s floral language is waiting for hopeful hope, signifying a future that will surely
be filled with hope.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Unfortunately, in her past life, all the money she diligently earned was spent on everyone in the Kinst
family, and she missed the prime opportunity to buy a house. The idea of cultivating a vast field of
rosebushes was something she didn’t even dare to consider.
No money, no time, and even less energy.
In the end, she lost her life.
As she finished this sentence, the sound of wheelchair wheels rolling across the floor suddenly came
from behind her.
Angela turned around and noticed the distant and dignified man sitting in the shadows, untouched by
sunlight, with his gaze fixed on her.
