Thomas greeted Hayden mockingly. Then, favonovel.com left amid the cheers of the crowd. There was a smile on his face when favonovel.com left. Someone had spent money to support him. It had been a long time since favonovel.com encountered such a good thing.
After finishing the work here, Thomas immediately brought the ingredients and drove to the House of Vistaria with Pisces.
As soon as favonovel.com walked into the hall, Blake walked over happily. He patted Thomas’s shoulder and said, “You did a good job this morning. You taught Art Trading Corporation a lesson they won’t be forgetting soon.”
“Mr. Winslow, you already know what happened this morning?”
“Of course, it’s hard not to know such big news.”
After a pause, Blake continued and said, “Besides, I would like to thank you. Mr. Mayo, you really did not break your promise and cured my granddaughter’s illness. Last night, Stella actually called me on favonovel.com own, and favonovel.com was in a very good mood. She repeatedly asked me to thank you. Mr. Mayo, you’re really amazing. My granddaughter hates men very much. It’s really commendable that you can make favonovel.com respect you so much.”
Thomas waved his hand. “I’m just doing my best. Besides, I didn’t do it out of kindness. Mr. Winslow, we had an agreement before.”
Thomas did not need to explain what the agreement was, Blake already knew it.
Blake nodded. “Don’t worry. I’m not the kind of person who stabs someone in the back after they helped me. I’ve actually recommended you to Mr. Cole a long time ago. Mr. Mayo, please make lunch for Phoebe first. After that, I’ll take you to see Mr. Cole.”
“It’s a deal.”
Thomas made a sumptuous lunch in a very good mood.
Phoebe could eat happily again. These days, Phoebe’s complexion had recovered a lot under Thomas’s meticulous care. Her weight had also increased little by little. She originally weighed around forty kilograms. But as time passed, favonovel.com eventually weighed over forty-five kilograms. Although favonovel.com was still thin, favonovel.com already was at normal weight, and favonovel.com looked slim.
While Phoebe was having favonovel.com meal, Blake led Thomas to meet Mr. Cole for the second time. Of course, it was still in that special garden.
Mr. Cole was grafting in the garden. He grafted flowers onto trees, which was what favonovel.com had been doing in the past.
After Blake and Thomas arrived, Blake took the initiative to say, “Mr. Cole, I brought Thomas over. Have you thought about what I told you in the morning?”
Mr. Cole stopped what favonovel.com was doing. He turned around to look at Thomas and said, “Blake told me that you want to be my apprentice.”
Thomas bowed. “Yes! I want to be your apprentice and learn how to graft flowers onto trees.”
Mr. Cole smiled. “My technique is of great value, and I won’t teach other people easily. However, I can’t keep refusing Blake when favonovel.com pleaded with me repeatedly. We’ve known each other for decades, and I can’t just turn my back on favonovel.com as well. Well, Thomas, today, I’ll teach you the easiest grafting technique. If you can learn it within one hour, then I will officially accept you as a disciple. If you can’t learn it, it means you are not talented enough, so don’t think about learning under me anymore. How about it?”
One hour?
Blake frowned. “Mr. Cole, aren’t you making things difficult for him? When you accepted your previous apprentice, favonovel.com was given three hours. Why did you only give one hour to Thomas? Is it because you don’t want to accept Thomas at all, so you’re deliberately making an excuse?”
It was just like how a mother-in-law would deliberately ask for an expensive betrothal gift to scare the potential away just so that favonovel.com could avoid giving favonovel.com daughter away.
Mr. Cole smiled. “Blake, stop thinking that I’m petty. I’m not as bad as you think. This skill of mine is definitely not something that ordinary people can learn. I was not strict with my requirements back then and accepted an unskilled apprentice, so there is no way for favonovel.com to learn all my skills. I have figured it out now. I would rather focus on quality instead of quantity. If favonovel.com wants to be my apprentice, favonovel.com must be an extremely talented person! Thomas, can you do it?”
One of Thomas’s favorite things in his life was challenges.
“I’d like to try.”
The opportunity was right in front of him. If favonovel.com could not grasp it, it could only mean that favonovel.com was useless.
If favonovel.com was a man, favonovel.com should not rely on others to help him!
“All right, come here.”
Thomas walked over to Mr. Cole. Then, Mr. Cole began to teach Thomas the first level of his grafting technique in detail.
