Chapter 721
Chapter 721:
Additionally, there was a hydrangea bush in the yard, which promised to be quite spectacular in bloom.
However, at the entrance, one spot was noticeably empty, marked only by a prepared flower bed.
Noticing Yelena’s focus on the empty space, Austin remarked, “You noticed the empty flower bed, huh? I want something that drapes naturally when it blooms. What do you think I should choose p>
Yelena stared at Austin, her expression one of confusion. “Why ask me about it?” she thought, glancing around his garden.
It was his property, not hers, and he clearly had someone capable of creating such beauty without her input.
“What did your landscaper suggest? Do you disagree with them?” she inquired, looking for clarification.
Austin laughed lightly. “There’s no landscaper. I arranged it myself, just for fun p>
Shock crossed Yelena’s face as she absorbed the fact that Austin had crafted this garden on his own, revealing an unexpected knack for landscaping.
“And your opinion?” Austin asked.
“It’s lovely,” Yelena responded. “Clearly, you don’t need my advice p>
“But I value your thoughts,” Austin said earnestly, causing her to pause.
Despite her reservations, she couldn’t deny his sincere request.
Scanning the garden, she said, “Perhaps wisteria? It would fit right in p>

“That is a nice coincidence.” Yelena agreed with a smile.
They lingered among the flowers, illuminated by the moonlight, sharing a serene moment.
Suddenly, Yelena felt a tug at her trouser leg. Looking down, she saw Austin’s cat, Lena, who had apparently followed her outside.
Kneeling, she stroked the kitten’s head. “Lena, did I wake you p>
Lena had just been napping in the living room. Surprised by how quickly she had woken up, Yelena asked, “Did I wake you p>
Lena couldn’t answer, but she rubbed against Yelena’s hand with apparent happiness.
Continuing to pet Lena, she said aloud, “Aus is just next door. Want to visit p>
Lena gave a serious meow and then dashed off.
Yelena chuckled as she watched Lena; clearly, the cat wasn’t interested in visiting Aus.
Moments later, Lena returned, a diamond-studded necklace gleaming in her mouth.
Lena dropped the necklace by Yelena’s feet and looked up at her with a plaintive meow.
Yelena bent down and picked up the sparkling diamond necklace, her eyes widening. “It’s real!” she gasped.
With a keen eye for jewelry, Yelena could instantly discern its authenticity and value—clearly worth over a million dollars.
Her gaze conveyed her astonishment at his wealth as she turned to Austin.
Austin, interpreting her gaze, smiled sheepishly. “My mother gave it to Lena. She loves adorning the cat; Lena has a collection of these, decorated with diamonds, rubies, sapphires, agates, and jade p>
