Chapter 709:
Linda nodded with satisfaction and then looked at the yellow roses on the table.
After a long pause, she finally spoke.
“These flowers were sent by Herbert earlier. Aren’t they beautiful?”
She reached out and gently pinched a petal.
Hearing this, I didn’t know how to respond or what Linda meant, so I simply nodded in agreement.
“They’re very beautiful.”
Didn’t he say there was nothing between Linda and him? Didn’t he claim he had completely rejected her? So why was he sending her flowers again?
What did this mean? Was he planning to send her flowers for the rest of his life?
Although I felt a wave of discomfort, I didn’t let it show.
“Do you know why he sent me yellow roses?”
Linda suddenly looked at me and asked. I was a little confused by the question. Yellow roses? I glanced at Linda, who looked so elegant and beautiful. Was it because her temperament matched that of yellow roses? Or had he simply grown tired of sending red ones and decided to switch things up?
I shook my head, signaling that I didn’t know. I was still puzzled. The next moment, Linda smiled helplessly and said, “Yellow represents sincere apology.”

“Ah?”
I blinked and stared at Linda.
“He’s apologizing to me,” she explained.
“Did he offend you?”
I could only pretend to be clueless. Was Herbert offering his most sincere apology for rejecting Linda’s love? Oh my God, why had he never treated me like a gentleman, so romantic and attentive? With me, he was always rough and forceful. This damn man couldn’t blame so many women for falling for him. His way of apologizing was so romantic…
Bella’s POV:
Linda then took out a light blue card from the bouquet and said, “Although a bunch of yellow roses can’t offset even a fraction of my apologies to you, I’ll continue to send them every day until you accept my apology.”
Hearing that, I frowned. He was so gentle. Those words were clearly written by Herbert.
Linda then handed me the card.
I took it and looked down. The familiar handwriting was unmistakably his.
I opened my mouth but didn’t know what to say. I returned the card to Linda with both hands. She took it and placed it in her notebook.
I felt a little strange. If Linda wanted to show off in front of Herbert’s ex-wife, there was no need to pull out an apology card like that, right?
Shouldn’t she be showing me a card that said “I love you” or “I miss you”?
Then Linda raised her head, offering a slight smile.
“Bella, please tell Herbert that I don’t blame him. I don’t want him to send yellow roses every day. If he does, for ten thousand days, I fear I’ll end up loving him more.”
