Chapter 57
Joslin trusted Logan’s judgment about Lorraine, and she also had confidence in her own instincts. She saw Lorraine as a diamond in the rough. With a bit of polish, she knew Lorraine would shine brilliantly.
Logan said, “Lorraine oversees several large orchards and has hired many workers to manage them. Since the cherry orchard is especially busy today, she’s brought in workers from the other orchards to help us with the workload.” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
He wasn’t opposed to hiring additional help but was worried it might arouse Lorraine’s suspicion. Besides, he couldn’t just ask his construction workers to come over, right? Hestia said, “You need to split the workload. Besides, you can’t let her wear herself oUL”
“Grandma, you’re so biased. You favor Lorraine over me.”””
She stated, “I’ve been looking at your face for 31 years. Honestly, I’m a bit tired of it. Now, I find myself drawn to her. The more I see her, the more I like her.” Logan chuckled. He knew that his extended bachelorhood had been a source of concern for his family.
Hestia continued, “By the way, I noticed something when we arrived earlier. The landscaping here reminds me a lot of our estate’s gardens. It seems like the same person designed it.
“I asked Lorraine about it. She said she studied architectural design and majored in landscaping. But she seemed hesitant to go into detail
“she must have gone through something in the past. Investigate this matter to see if she has ever been mistreated or wronged before.”
The saying proved true that with age came wisdom. Despite having just met Lorraine and exchanging only a few words, Hestia could tell that Lorraine had gone through something in the past
“Every entrance to the orchard feels like stepping into a garden. I asked her about it, but she only said she did the designs casually and didn’t want to elaborate. I’ll have someone look into it,” Logan said.
When be first arrived at the orchards, he headed straight in without paying attention to the surroundings. It wasn’t until later that he finally noticed and asked Lorraine about it She seemed hesitant to talk, so he dropped the subject, At that time, he didn’t think much of her reaction.
Just then, Markus walked in, and they immediately changed topics.
When Lorraine entered, Logan was filling their glasses with water.
She brought in two baskets of cherries–on filled with Bing cherries and the other with Metror cherries “Please try some of these freshly picked cherries. These are Bing cherries and Meteor cherries. The Sentennial cherries aren’t ripe wet, but I’ll bring some for you next time”
This orchard primarily cultivated common cherry varieties to cater to everyday consumers.
Hestia and Joslin’s eyes lit up at the sight of the cherries even though they were already suffering from mouth sores,
After learning that Logan had a flash marriage, they devoured the bag of cherries that Jacob had brought back. The cherries were so urt that the women ended up with mouth sores from eating too many
Their family doctor even visited earlier that day to prescribe them some anti–inflammatory medicine. But they couldn’t turn down Lorraine’s offer since she was right them
Sa, Hestia quickly grabbed a Bing cherry. “I’m old and trying to watch my sugar intake, so I’ll just have one. But Joslin, you’re younger. Go ahead and eat more.” Joslin couldn’t believe Hestia was trying to set her up.
She knew Hestia wasn’t being very generous. Joshin figured if they had to deal with mouth sores, they might as well share the misery.
