Jasper meets his father-in-law (2)

After dinner they went to the garden. It was a cold evening, but with jackets on, it was not unpleasant. The garden was well lit.

No plants were in bloom. But the evergreen ones were well trimmed and just by glancing at it you can see that it's well maintained.

"I've put your favorite flowers in…", Matthew told Ellie, expecting to score some points. "If you come from April to October you can enjoy them."

He was happy to see that Ellie smiled and he hoped that she is smiling because of what he said and not because that fiancé person pulled her closer to him. It was just an inch, but Matthew noticed it.

"Boss is personally taking care of the garden.", Matthew's subordinate who followed them closely said.

"That's enough, Ian…", Matthew awkwardly said, but he was happy to see that Ellie's gave him an approving nod.

After the walk through the garden, they went back into the reception room to warm up with some hot beverages.
