Chapter 1456: Caught Between Parents
Tristan was also a bit puzzled as he got out of the car.
In the yard, Algerone Swain looked up at them entering, "Tristan? Monica?" His slightly wrinkled face bore a joyful smile.
He hadn't seen his daughter for quite stime.
"Dad, what are you planting?" The girl bent down to take a closer look. Were these roses all over the yard??
"Roses," the middle-aged man happily told her. "These are all different varieties of roses." He could even imagine the scene a few
months later when all the flowers would be in full bloom.
Tristan saw two words: romance.
Monica was very puzzled. She was a beat slow, "Why suddenly start planting roses? You're not of retirement age yet, are you? And
such a big project..." It was simply astonishing.

Algerone gave an embarrassed smile. He didn't know how to answer for a moment. There were sthings he didn't want to say,
he just wanted to do them first.
Tristan, recalling the conversation from the other night, seemed to have figured something out. He leaned over and whispered in
Monica's ear, "He might be doing it for your mom. Does your mom like roses?"
Monica was taken aback, then her eyes lit up. Before she could say anything, the phone in her pocket rang.
Seeing it was Belinda calling, she felt somewhat guilty since she was at her father's house; she didn't dare to answer.
Algerone Swain could tell something from his daughter's expression. The ringtone continued, and he guessed it was Belinda who
was calling. He bent over and continued tending to his flower seedlings, remaining silent.
Tristan, tall and slender, also helped Uncle Swain with the plants. Neither of the two men planned to speak.
Monica understood. She slid her finger over the answer button, "Hello, Belinda." She didn't deliberately avoid it.
"Why did it take you so long to answer? What are you doing? Who are you with?" Belinda's distrustful voice cover, carrying a
hint of displeasure, "You better cback."
"I'll be back soon, I'm on my way. Is something wrong?"
"Of course there's something wrong. | found a house | like. We'll buy it in your name; you cand sign."
"Oh, okay." Monica didn't argue with her here, but she was puzzled. Belinda had been living in her father's house but was thinking
about moving day by day?
Her father had never even visited, let alone disturbed her. Why was she doing this?
The call ended. The daughter looked at her father, and the father also stopped his work, looking up at his daughter.
Monica looked at the large patch of rose seedlings, then said to her father, "Dad, don't worry, I'll pretend | know nothing!"
Algerone Swain gave an awkward laugh.
Monica was very moved that her father could plant such a large patch of roses for her mother, and that he had been single all

Then she turned to Tristan, "I have to go back now, my mom needs me."
"Okay, I'll take you."
So, Tristan and Monica waved goodbye to Algerone Swain.
On the way back, Tristan saw Monica seemed to have something on her mind, so he asked her, "What does your mom need you
for?"
"She's living in the house Dad arranged for her. Dad hasn't disturbed her, yet she wants to buy a house in my name. She wants me
to go back and sign." Monica was really puzzled. Thinking of her father's actions, she felt a bit sorry for Algerone.
Tristan was silent for a few seconds, then turned to ask, "So what do you think...?"
"Since they are both single now, of course | hope they can get back together. That's the greatest wish of their children, right?"
"Uh huh." Tristan agreed with her on this point and would help her. So this house couldn't be bought, and Belinda couldn't move
out.
