Chapter 185
This news seemed to have caused some psychological trauma for Patrick.
Despite maintaining a smile and showing Sherry around his house, Patrick’s expression
was noticeably different. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his enthusiasm was
not as high.
Sherry didn’t push him either. “Thank you, Mr. Martin, for showing me around. We can
stop here.”
Taken aback, Patrick waved his hand. “It’s alright; it’s alright. The garden of my house is
just ahead. It was personally taken care of by my eldest brother. It looks beautiful. Since
you’ve come all this way, it would be a shame not to see it. Let me take you there.”
The garden was the same one where she met Mr. Sniper, but they entered from a
different entrance. However, it was still as beautiful as before. The roses here were as
tall as a person, blooming brilliantly. They were radiant and magnificent.
My eldest brother really likes roses. You probably don’t know but

been cultivating this rose garden for over ten years. He doesn’t need a gardener. He
personally tends to it every year and expands it a little. Now it has become gigantic.
Isn’t it beautiful?”

Sherry breathed in the faint fragrance in the air and sincerely exclaimed, “Yes, it’s truly
beautiful.”
“Everyone who has seen it says it’s beautiful, but this is my eldest brother’s private area.
It’s not open to the public,” Patrick said. “Every time my dad urges him to get married, he
says he will only get married when all the roses in this garden wither. But look, these
flowers are blooming continuously. How could they wither?”
Sherry stopped in her tracks. “So, your eldest brother is planning to never get married?”
“Not exactly,” Patrick sighed, feeling somewhat helpless and melancholic. “My eldest
brother has achieved great success over the years. Everyone knows that my dad’s
eldest son is especially powerful and capable, almost invincible, but I know he’s not happy inside.
Because of the scars on his face?”

“If only it were that simple. With the advancement of medical technology nowadays,
one could just get plastic look better, and the scars on his face would be

gone. But my eldest brother doesn’t want that. He says the scars are his memories; he
has to remember; he can’t forget. However, this has nothing to do with his scars; it’s
because of a woman, a woman he deeply loves.”
Sherry’s heart skipped a beat.
She didn’t say anything, listening to Patrick continue, “For some reason, the woman he
loves got married to someone else. He was particularly devastated during that time,
drinking heavily every night until he was completely drunk and continuing to work
during the day, as if he were treating himself like a robot. Our parents tried to advise
him, and I also tried to advise him, but it was all in vain. My eldest brother has always
been independent; he doesn’t listen to others advice. Over time, he couldn’t even listen
to comforting words anymore; he had to bear all the pain himself. It was hard for me to
watch, let alone him.”
Patrick seemed talkative, and he shared a lot with Sherry about this garden and his
admiration for his eldest brother. Sherry didn’t interrupt much, but Patrick knew that
he was listening attentively

He spoke with great focus: “I just don’t understand. What kind of woman is she that
almost cost my eldest brother half of his life? What’s so good about the man she
married? How could he possibly compare to my eldest brother?”
Sherry reached out and gently touched a blooming rose, softly saying, “Perhaps that
woman doesn’t even know about your eldest brother’s existence?”
“I’ve actually thought about that possibility,” Patrick said. “My eldest brother lives a
reclusive life; even in his work, he only interacts with a few familiar people every day.
There’s no trace of him in the world, but his legend is everywhere.”
Sherry asked, “Does your eldest brother normally wear a mask?”

“No, he doesn’t,” Patrick said. “My eldest brother doesn’t usually meet other people, and
ordinary people can’t even see him. The people who see him are all familiar with him,
and they know about the scars on his face. Wearing a mask would be unnecessary.”
That’s true. Sherry nodded.

Sherry smiled back. “He’s quite mysterious.”
“He’s quite mysterious,” Patrick chuckled. “He hasn’t been home for a long time, but he
suddenly came back recently, and my parents were startled. But you can tell that my
older brother has been in a good mood lately. He often laughs foolishly while holding
his phone, not at all like the wise person he used to be.”
Sherry smiled brighter upon hearing it. She remembered the text messages that Mr.
Sniper had sent her, which made her blush and her heart race. It made her feel relieved.
Every time she was teased by him, she felt shy and embarrassed. She never expected
that he would be the same way when he sent messages.
Thinking about this, she felt more at ease.
Next, Patrick casually chatted with her about her situation.
Sherry only mentioned unimportant things. She used to be a full–time housewife, but
after her divorce, she started working in the makeup industry, doing makeup for car models. Now she is Christopher’s makeup artist.
Chapter 185 He Is Our Hero
“Being a makeup artist for celebrities must be tough, right? And you’re pregnant; can
you handle it?”
Sherry smiled gently. “My colleagues take good care of me, and the workload isn’t too
heavy. I can manage.”
Patrick nodded, and he hesitated for a while before he finally asked, “Does the father of
the child… agree to let you work? You’re pregnant, but you’re so slim. Doesn’t the child’s
father care?”
Patrick found it difficult to understand. Such a pretty lady, carrying her own child, any
normal man would cherish and protect her. How could he bear to let her suffer like this?
However, Sherry replied, “The father of the child is a very understanding individual.
Being a makeup artist is the profession I am passionate about and want to pursue, and
he supports me in doing so. However, he has a significant influence over every decision
I make. If I encounter any difficulties, he will promptly come to my aid.”
He must be an exceptional person.”
“Yes.” Sherry nodded. “He is my hero and the hero of our baby.”
After they exited the garden, Patrick ran into some of his friends. As he departed, he felt
embarrassed and wanted to offer an explanation to her, but Sherry simply smiled and
waved, signaling for him to leave quickly.
Young boys always had endless energy, and she was capable of taking care of herself
without him here.
She soon received a message.
“Seems like you’re enjoying a nice chat with my younger brother, huh?”
