My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

Could anyone remain unmoved standing amidst this breathtaking sea of flowers?

It was like stepping into a paradise on Earth!

Patricia had always loved peonies, and this scene before her struck her to the core. It was beyond stunning. It was utterly overwhelming.

A whole mountain covered in peonies...

Who could possibly orchestrate something of this scale? It would have cost a fortune!

It was nothing short of a miracle!

And to think it had all been planted in a single day...

It was almost impossible to believe.

"Festiva Maxima, Coral Sunset, Sarah Bernhardt, Kansas, Cloud Red, Francoise Ortegat, Chocolate Soldier, Bartzella, Fern Leaf, Wild Lactiflora, Green Halo..." Patricia recited the names of some of the flowers. The more she spoke, the more astonished she felt.

She had no idea how many varieties of peonies were planted on Mayhill, but the sheer number far exceeded anything she had ever seen. Many of these flowers were completely unfamiliar to her.

Among them were some of the rarest and most valuable breeds. They usually bloomed in distant lands and were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

How had they even been transported here?

Patricia felt intoxicated surrounded by this endless sea of beautiful peonies.

"How is it? Do you like it?" Dustin walked up to her with a smile.

Patricia blinked and stared at him in a daze.

Was it...

"Don't tell me you did all this! That's impossible!" she said softly.

"It wasn't easy, I admit. Took quite a bit of effort." Dustin smiled faintly.

Well, not for him. All he did was give the order. But those who carried it out might have worked tirelessly.

Patricia's lips parted slightly, and her face froze in pure shock.

Was he serious?

He really did this?

But... that was absurd!

Could he even pull something like this off? Did he have that kind of power?

Her first instinct was disbelief, but she had no grounds to reject the idea.

She loved peonies, and Mayhill was filled with them. What were the odds of such a coincidence?

Dustin had admitted it himself.

No matter how impossible it seemed, the proof was right in front of her.

At this moment, everything she thought she knew about Dustin was overturned.

How could any ordinary person accomplish something like this?

"Why?" she asked softly as she turned her gaze on him.

"Because yesterday, you said seeing flowers here would make you feel a little better," Dustin said with a smile.

Patricia froze.

She had said that as just an offhand remark to herself. She did not know Dustin had remembered.

Even if he had, she never imagined he would take it this far.

"All because of one sentence I said? Just one sentence and you did all this for me?" she said in a trembling voice.

"Why are you being so kind to me?" Her eyes glistened with tears. She could feel her heart melting.

"Consider it... a way to make up for something." Dustin sighed.

So, that was all she was to him? A sister?

"Dustin, how did you do this?" she finally asked after a long silence.

This was an entire mountain covered in peonies. She could not even begin to fathom the resources it would take to make such a miracle happen in a single day.

And Dustin... with his background, how could he have the means to pull off something so extraordinary?

"It wasn't that hard," he said casually as if it were the simplest thing in the world.

"If you want the stars in the sky, I'll find a way to bring them to you."

Patricia fell silent.

The kinder he was to her, the more complicated her emotions became.

"Come on now, don't look at me like that.

these peonies? Don't let my h work go to waste," Dustin said.

"I am very happy today," she said as she smiled beautifully.

"This is the happiest I've been in a long time."

Seeing her smile, Dustin grinned as well.
