Chapter 278 That Has Nothing to Do With Me Anymore
Leopold suddenly appeared at the winery. Before Camilla could react, he ordered a group of bodyguards to storm the estate and uproot all the flowers she had carefully planted.
"I told you to stop! Do you think I can't afford flowers? Why do you have to plant them yourself? Get back home! Ignoring calls and messages! All for these flowers, right? Uproot them all and throw them away!"
From the moment the bodyguards rushed in, Camilla was stunned. In less than half an hour, the lush flowerbed was barren, erasing her efforts of more than half a month. Then they had the biggest argument they had ever had.
Leopold said angrily, "I was worried sick, thinking something had happened to you. I pulled every string and searched the entire Imperial City. And where were you? Hiding here, planting flowers!"
"Camilla, you prioritize your studies and future over our relationship. I always wait for you on dates, but now I feel less important than these flowers. You don't seem to love me. When I said I'd stay abroad for another week, you were completely indifferent."
"Can you care about me more? Once you graduate next year, we can get married. Please, spend less time studying."
Camilla was initially furious, but because of the insecurity and the ups and downs Leopold expressed in this relationship, she softened.
She reflected on whether her reserved nature made Leopold feel uncared for. To reassure him, she decided to give up her studies, marking a turning point in her fate.
Back in the present, Leopold led her to open the door. A sea of vibrant flowers greeted them, blooming brightly in the cold winter, surprising Camilla despite her expectations.
As soon as they stepped in, they felt the warmth. The flowerbed had a simulated ecosystem, allowing manual control of temperature and humidity. This made it possible for flowers with different blooming periods to flourish together.
Leopold casually pointed to a cluster of flowers. "They say orchids are hard to grow. The difficulty lies in their strict soil requirements. I usually use moss and bark to prepare the soil. Also, orchids are very sensitive to cold. If the temperature is too low, they go dormant, so you need to control the temperature. Watering is also very particular; you need to adjust the amount of water according to the season because their roots are aerial roots and can easily suffocate, plus the evaporation rate varies with the seasons. And these roses, I originally planned to..."
Leopold kept introducing, but Camilla's gaze passed through the door, looking into the distance. The roses at the entrance were too flamboyant, making the rolling mountains in the distance seem like a mere backdrop.
In the past, this might have moved Camilla, but now her heart remained calm.
"No matter how beautiful the roses are, they have a blooming period. Nothing lasts forever, and feelings are the same. Once missed, it's gone. Looking forward, there will be more beautiful scenery. Leopold, isn't it better to let go?"
Leopold looked at her. "What if I just can't let go?"
Camilla raised her eyes and said calmly, "Then it has nothing to do with me anymore."
