Chapter 246 Keep It A Secret

“I’m sure you’re relieved now, Mrs Campbell Elizabeth replied.

Back then, Shelby brought a check along when she met Elizabeth, and she wanted the latter to leaveher son

Ehzabeth refused the check, but she did whatever Shelby told her to. In spite of this, Shelby thoughtElizabeth was unwilling to follow her instructions and never believed her as the latter did not want themoney.

Since Elizabeth and Chelsea had shown up here, Shelby should be at ease.

Shelby lowered her head slightly. “Naturally, I’m relieved now.”

Elizabeth nodded in return. Then, she headed for the doorway.

As she passed by an area with black roses, a girl in a red dress was smiling cheerily and instructing thehousekeepers tor

water the flowers.

“Be careful. Don’t touch the petals.”

“All right, miss.”

The girl held a stalk of black rose near her nose and smelled it. She narrowed her eyes and murmuredto herself, “Smells

good.”

When Elizabeth walked past the girl, she nodded at the latter as a form of acknowledgment.

Suddenly, the girl called out, “Please wait, Ms. Wade.”

Elizabeth stopped in her tracks “How can I help you, miss?”

Rosalie Ferguson shook the stalk of black rose in her hand gently. “I am Rosalie Ferguson, theyoungest child of this

family.”

A sudden realization dawned on Elizabeth. “Hi, Ms. Ferguson!”

Rosalie Ferguson? Could this be Nicolas’s house? Nicolas’s family was the only family in Mistwoodthat had this last

name. Therefore, Elizabeth was certain the girl was Nicolas’s younger sister.

She knew Nicolas quite well, so she also behaved warmly toward his sister.

Rosalie scanned Elizabeth from head to toe while tilting her head. “Are you currently Matthew’sgirlfriend?”

There was a hint of hostility in her gaze as she asked that question.

Elizabeth was no fool and sensed the hostility.

However, she had already told a lie earlier. It was too late to cover it up at that moment.

As such, she nodded “Yes”

Rosalio’s expression changed “In that case, do you know what his favorite flower is?”

Although Elizabeth had known Matthew for several months and even worked as his personal secretary,she knew nothing

about him apart from his coffee and dietary preferences.

She shook her head. He’s a man Does he even like flowers?

Rosalie waved the black rose before Elizabeth’s eyes and laughed heartily. “As expected, you don’tknow. It shows that he

isn’t serious about you

After that, she turned around happily and resumed ordering the housekeepers to water the flowers andremove the

weeds.

Elizabeth did not fathom the meaning of their prior conversation..

She eventually understood what was going on. The black roses were most likely planted by Rosalie.

Elizabeth strode out of the greenhouse. She had just exited it when she overheard a conversationbetween a few

housekeepers.

“Have you seen her? The young lady brought by Old Mrs. Hilton is so beautiful. Apparently, she’s Mr.Hilton’s girlfriend.”

“I bet Ms. Ferguson must be really upset.”

“Ms. Ferguson has always liked Mr. Hilton ever since she was a child. Old Mrs. Ferguson also intendsto let her marry Mr.

Hilton Isn’t Old Mrs. Hilton a close friend of Old Mrs. Ferguson? Why didn’t the two of them help the girlout?”

“Don’t worry your heads about it. Ms. Ferguson is the only woman who’s fit to be with a man of Mr.Hilton’s stature. It

doesn’t matter how many girlfriends he has. In the end, Ms. Ferguson will definitely be the one whomarries him.”

Elizabeth raised her eyebrows upon hearing those remarks.

Apparently, there was already an arranged marriage involving Matthew. Tiana assumed she was thebest woman for him.

From the looks of it, it was hardly possible for her to marry into the Hilton family.

Elizabeth reflected on her own situation, too. Getting married to Matthew was simply out of thequestion!

Although Elizabeth did harbor romantic feelings for Matthew, she felt inferior and figured she would notget married in

this lifetime. She only wanted to live a peaceful life with her three children.

As she pondered over this matter, she decided to keep her feelings for Matthew a secret.
