Chapter 212 The Flowers Are So Special

"Is this 'Yimi flower'? I've heard the story!" Courtney interrupted excitedly, she then proceeded to tell the story of the flower. "The flower is like a small explosion of love. Those sparks are bright and brilliant, even more than the orchid cactus. In the end, it's strong spirit represents courage..."

Flowers in hand, Amelia's eyes dropped downwards and focused on them. She was lost in thought, but it looked as if she was quietly transfixed by the flowers.

"Courtney, you sure seem to know a lot about flowers." Jonny grinned, without thinking he looked over to study Amelia's pensive face.

"No, not really. Pretty much, I'm on par with Amelia in most aspects. But, I am crazy about flowers and plants." Courtney's face flushed red having heard his compliment. Noticing that Amelia was in a daze, she followed up by asking, "Mr. Jonny, since it's a special gift, does it have any special meaning?"

After nervously darting his eyes around, he quickly regained composure. "Well, that's because Amelia is quite special to my heart."

His voice was genuine, full of tenderness and affection.

"Tut-tut, Amelia, If you weren't married, I would reckon that Mr. Jonny was in love with you." Courtney said directly. Jonny immediately felt embarrassed and looked down.

Amelia quickly snapped out of it and shot a fierce glance at Courtney. She turned to Jonny, and said reassuringly, "Don't mind what she said, Jonny! Courtney has verbal diarrhea sometimes, she doesn't think before she talks and it just comes pouring out!"

What Jonny wanted to say, was that Courtne

fore.

Amelia froze. Like a deer trapped in the headlights, she didn't know what to do.

"Well, I came here to congratulate Amelia on the opening of the flower shop, as any good brother should do," Jonny slowly responded with a smile on his face. Compared to Lucian's dark look, Jonny looked much gentler.

"Well, I hope that's the truth." Lucian's voice had changed, now it was cold and emotionless. This made Amelia feel nervous.

Jonny very calmly smiled again. "Lucian, you always have been the winner in business. Why are you so insecure in love?"

His tone was somewhat challenging, as if he was nudging him along to somewhere ugly.

"You have two minutes to get out of here, right now!" Lucian's mood had become fiery with rage, contempt pouring out of his eyes.

"Lucian, Jonny is here to congratulate us on the opening of the flower shop. Be polite!" Amelia didn't understand why Lucian had become so nasty all of a sudden. It seemed that Jonny had done something to provoke him. Before, he used to greet Jonny politely and cordially. But not this time, she could feel coldness coming off of his body.

"Amelia, don't try to speak for me. Otherwise, he will get even more jealous!" As soon as he finished speaking to her, Jonny looked over at Lucian and said, "Don't think that this can stop me. I have told you that I will never give up the opportunity to get what I want."

Amelia was confused by all of the testosterone hanging in the air. But, Jonny's tone was serious, almost matching that of Lucian's. Why did Jonny say that? What was it that he wanted?
