Upon hearing that, Elizabeth felt her heart ache, and an indescribable feeling appeared in the depths of her heart.
Andrew must have experienced a lot of unimaginable hardships to be able to gain a foothold in the Hayes family and become the future head of such a big family.
Elizabeth paused, unsure how to comfort Andrew. Then, on second thought, a rational man like Andrew probably didn’t like the emotional atmosphere, so she changed the topic.
“When we go back later, you have to teach me how to plant it.”
“I don’t take stupid disciples, and I only teach once.”
“Don’t worry. My brain, hands, and feet are all agile. I won’t disappoint you.” Elizabeth patted her chest and promised.
She and Andrew put the things they bought into the trunk one by one and drove home.
After returning home, Andrew asked Peter to prepare the tools for planting flowers and then took Elizabeth to the backyard.
Seeing that Andrew wanted to plant flowers in person, Peter was worried that Andrew would be too tired and insisted on sending a few maids over to help, yet the maids were all sent away by Andrew.
For a moment, only Andrew and Elizabeth were left in the spacious and empty backyard.
“Take a hoe to loosen the soil first. Then, dig a small hole and put the fertilizer and seeds in it. As for these potted plants, you just need to trim the dead leaves, which is relatively easier. I’ll leave it to you.
As he spoke, Andrew handed Elizabeth a pruner.
“Alright. Elizabeth nodded and took the pruner from Andrew’s hand. Then, she squatted at the side and trimmed the potted flowers carefully.
Andrew picked up the small hoe and began to dig. In the early autumn, the evening wind was a little cool, but it was completely useless for Andrew and Elizabeth who were focused on their work.
Elizabeth finished trimming the dead branches and leaves on the potted plants and turned to look at Andrew. His white shirt was drenched in sweat, and the strong male sex hormones made her heart skip a beat.
Elizabeth swallowed her saliva subconsciously, standing up and walking slowly toward Andrew. She could not help but sigh in her heart, “Sure enough, men were the most handsome when they were serious!”
“Well… Why don’t you take a break? I’ll dig…
As she spoke, Elizabeth picked up a bottle of water and a towel from the basket and handed them to Andrew.
Hearing Elizabeth’s voice, Andrew stopped what he was doing and stood up to look at her.
He took the water and took a sip. After returning it to Elizabeth, he took the towel and wiped the sweat off his face.
“It’s fine. I’m almost done digging. Put the fertilizer and seeds in the holes. I’ll water them later.”
Although Andrew walked in the office all year round, he insisted on running in the morning every day. In his spare time, he often exercised, So, the little bit of physical work was nothing to him.
“Okay.”
Elizabeth nodded and picked up the basket full of seeds and fertilizer.
Under the guidance of Andrew, Elizabeth paired the seeds and fertilizer appropriately and placed them into the pit one by one. Then, she used a small shovel to bury them in the soil.
After several times, Andrew became more proficient. Andrew was relieved and continued to dig the hole and loosen the soil.
Peter came secretly to take a look from time to time. Seeing Andrew and Elizabeth working together harmoniously, he could not help but take a few photos and send them to Benjamin..
Peter thought with a gratified expression, “If Mr. Andrew’s relationship with Mrs. Elizabeth continued developing. I believe that Mr. Benjamin will soon have a great–grandson.”
About half an hour later, Andrew and Elizabeth finally finished their work and buried all the seeds.
When Andrew came back to water the plants, he saw Elizabeth walking around the field excitedly and was amused by the yellow soil on the tip of her nose. He could not help but laugh.
Elizabeth was a shrewd woman, but she was also a little cute when she was muddle–headed.

“Why are you laughing?”
When Elizabeth heard Andrew’s laughter, her beautiful crescent brows furrowed slightly. She turned her head and looked at Andrew in confusion.
“Nothing.”
Andrew shook his head and put down the watering pot in his hand. He took a towel and walked straight to Elizabeth.
“There’s some soil on your face. Wipe it yourself.”
As he spoke, Andrew handed the towel to Elizabeth.
“Where?”
“On the nose.”
Hearing that, Elizabeth took the towel and gently wiped the tip of her nose. Unexpectedly, there was also some dirt on the back of her fingers. When she wiped the tip of her nose, her fingers accidentally rubbed her left cheek, and her originally beautiful and fair face was stained with more dirt, making her look like a tabby cat.
Because of Elizabeth’s unskillful actions, the smile on Andrew’s face grew brighter. He complained, “Forget it. Let me help you clean it. The more you wipe, the dirtier you get.”
After saying that, Andrew shook his head resignedly and took back the towel in Elizabeth’s hand. He changed to a clean side and bent down slightly to wipe her face.
“I didn’t bring a mirror…”
Elizabeth pouted speechlessly. Subconsciously, she raised her head slightly so that it would be easier for Andrew to wipe
her face.
Andrew pinched her chin gently with one hand, and his actions were also gentle.
When he looked closer, he found that Elizabeth’s skin was quite good. It was fair and rosy, so perfect that no pores
seen.
At that moment, Elizabeth parted her red lips slightly and was staring at Andrew with her big eyes.

After Andrew cleaned Elizabeth’s face, he was actually a little reluctant to let go of her. He felt that the warm breath from her mouth carried a faint fragrance that lingered in his nose, making the air around him begin to heat up.
Andrew’s sexy Adam’s apple moved imperceptibly, and a trace of desire flashed across his eyes. His hand that was holding Elizabeth’s chin trembled slightly.
“What’s wrong? Is my face so dirty? If you can’t clean it, don’t bother. Anyway, I have to wash my face later.”
Regarding Andrew’s abnormality, Elizabeth, who had always been slow to react, did not realize that something was wrong. Her blunt words instantly destroyed the charming atmosphere just now.
“Alright.”
Andrew came back to his senses, moving his hand away from Elizabeth’s face and taking a few steps back. He picked up the watering pot and turned around to water the flowers and hide his thoughts from his previous absent–minded actions just
now.
When Andrew and Elizabeth returned to the living room, it was already dark.
“Mr. Andrew, Mrs. Elizabeth, you are finally done with your work. Please wash your hands and have dinner.”
Seeing Andrew and Elizabeth enter, Peter went up to them immediately with a worried expression.
“You can eat. I’m going to take a shower.
Andrew’s body was sticky, and he had no appetite for the time being. After giving his instructions, he went upstairs. After washing her hands, Elizabeth returned to the dining room happily and wolfed down a lot of food.
