Consequently, Emery was speechless, and her demeanor immediately softened up as she said, “I was

joking! I had intended to buy all of them from the start. I asked her to give me one for free because I

wanted to let her learn that sometimes you need to make sacrifices to gain more benefits. Alas, our

little angel here’s not that smart. It doesn’t look like she’s suited for business.”

She picked up her bag as she said that, most probably to get some cash to pay the little girl.

At that moment, the child could not hold in her tears any longer as I felt those burning droplets on the

back of my hand.

“Wait! She’s buying your flowers! Don’t cry!”

“I don’t want you to buy all my flowers.” The little girl started sobbing. “I only want to sell you one each.

Mommy has been sick in the hospital for so long! Daddy told me that each sold flower is another prayer

for Mommy so she could get well soon. I don’t want money. I just want Mommy to get better.”

They really were not wrong when they said women were like water. In only a few seconds, the tissue was

totally soaked.

Audrey and Gregory had milder personalities and were my own, so they were easier to handle. Even

with Summer, this type of situation had never occurred with me. So, I was at a loss and could only watch

as the girl cried.

It was true that people were cruel and selfish, but they loved drama. Once the girl started crying, all

those unconcerned passersby were surprisingly like-minded as they all looked toward our direction.

That feeling of being stared at by the entire world was not great at all.

Therefore, I signaled to Emery. “You made this mess! Handle it!”

But Emery acted like she was deaf, leaving me speechless.

So this is what good friends do? Do you leave the others behind to clean up your mess?

Right then, Summer spoke. “If you can hold it in and stop crying, I have an idea that could help you earn

a lot more money and acquire more prayers for your mommy at the same time. If you accept, wipe off

those tears and come with me. You only have one chance, okay?”

As soon as Summer finished, a mere one second was all it took for the crying to stop.

Immediately after, Summer took the girl by the hand, right in front of me, and headed downstairs after

picking up the flowers and basket.

I was in awe. It was like watching Gregory tame Audrey all over again.

“In the end, Summer’s still the best. Unlike you, who can’t even handle a kid.” Emery started attacking

me after things calmed down.

“Why don’t you handle the girl if you’re so great? You’re the one that made her cry! I have to say. We’re

both mothers now. It’s about time you changed that attitude of yours. Don’t just bear your fangs at

anyone the moment you see them. Who would want to be near you after you scare them off like that?” I

turned it around and lectured her instead, wanting her to be better.

Emery was like a porcupine right now, covered in sharp spines and quills. Anyone who got near her

would get hurt easily. That said, she actually had the softest heart out of everyone and insisted on hiding

it.

The truth was, I never even thought of buying all those flowers from the girl to free her up, but Emery did.

Nevertheless, the girl would most likely only remember how ruthless Emery was and that she did not

want to pay.

“Who cares?” Emery shrugged. “I only need to ensure that I can always enjoy the life of a single woman.

That’s all. Why would I want to meet new people and start playing the stupid guessing game of what are

they thinking? I’m not interested and cannot be bothered. Those that would stay will stay. Those that

won’t, so be it. Why should I change? I am me. I’m just built different, you know?”

The atmosphere was getting heavy. It was clear that our Queen Emery did not want to dwell on the

subject any longer. Things were not going to change even if we did.

About twenty minutes after, Summer came back, but the girl was gone.

“Did you help her sell all her flowers?” I asked. I was confident Summer could do it since she was

eloquent, but twenty minutes was still an astonishing speed.

“They’re all sold, but not by me. Just know that everything’s settled.” Summer told us and went back to

accompany Audrey and the others.
