Chapter 105: So Many Honeysuckles?

Past the large archway was a vast garden, where Roman and Oriana alighted from the carriage. Roman led the way once more, his strides slow while his hands were behind his back, as if he was not a butler but a landowner evaluating the land under his name.

'Even though they too are servants, noblemen are proud people. Arrogance is deeply embedded in their bones.'

She followed Roman past the front garden where she saw three water fountains at a single glance, along with a man-made waterfall and a pond, and while there were gardeners trimming weeds in the front yard, there were also servants cleaning the exquisite statues in the garden. Behind them was a spectacular three-storey mansion that looked to be a work of art in itself.
