“Who upset you?” he asked.
Anastasia shot him a plaintive look.
“…No one.”
He watched her walk away, hesitating for a long moment before turning to Logan at his side. “Why is she upset?”
Logan was a little surprised—Mr. Lancaster, actually showing concern for someone?
But how would he know? He wasn’t the lady’s husband, after all!
He kept those thoughts to himself and answered carefully, “Sometimes you don’t need to know why she’s upset. You just need to cheer her up.”
Harrison considered this, nodding slightly. “How?”
Logan racked his brain, and suddenly remembered something.
“Mrs. Lancaster’s a student at Kingsbridge University, isn’t she? Didn’t they say they’d be sending you flowers soon? Maybe you could give them to her!”
Kingsbridge University—renowned for over a century—had a famous garden of hybrid roses that bloomed every summer, drawing crowds from all over. Every year, a few rare, homegrown varieties were carefully cut and gifted to a select few.
These bouquets weren’t for just anyone; they were reserved for distinguished alumni or outstanding students, and receiving them was a point of pride.
The university had been reaching out to Mr. Lancaster, hoping he’d attend an event. Harrison hadn’t been interested, so Logan had handled it all—just yesterday, someone from Kingsbridge had called, humbly asking which variety Mr. Lancaster preferred. For others, it was a surprise package; for him, he could simply choose.
But what was a great honor to others meant nothing to Harrison, and Logan hadn’t thought much of it, casually telling them Mr. Lancaster wasn’t interested.
“Mrs. Lancaster’s a student there too. I bet she’d love to get those flowers. If you gave them to her quietly, she’d be thrilled.”
