Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

"Oh my gosh, I was so busy looking at Flora, I didn't even notice big bro was here! And he hates swearing more than anything!

"Got something to say?" Connor's face was a blank slate.

"No, no, no, nothing at all!"

"Then head back to the Falcone estate. Quit hanging around."

Kruz stammered, "Oh, oh, oh...!!!"

Flora's eyes began to sparkle with amusement as she watched Kruz fumble in fear. Adrian, standing nearby, got lost in thought for a moment.

Flora seemed different right then. Usually, in front of others, she was kind of aloof, lazy, and indifferent. Her eyes were often half-closed, not one to smile easily. But now, sitting next to Connor, her eyes crinkled into a soft, starry smile. Very...

Very much like someone he remembered.

Adrian was so captivated he didn't notice Connor's expression darkening, his handsome features turning icy, his aura growing more and more oppressive. The car felt like it was suffocating under a heavy, threatening atmosphere. Moss and Beck were breaking out in cold sweats, and even Flora sensed the tension. Kruz, the best at reading Connor's moods, quickly figured it out.

"Bro, you want some alone time with Flora, right? We'll leave you two alone!" he said hastily.

He took a couple of steps back and, seeing Adrian still standing there, gave him a tug. "Come on, what are you standing around for?"

Man, you really don't value your life!

With Adrian gone, Connor's menacing aura eased up a bit.

"Drive."

Those two cold words were all Moss needed to hear. He quickly started the car, and they sped off, disappearing into the distance.

Moss let out a relieved breath. If Adrian kept staring at Ms. Flora, he was sure the boss would kill him. And why did this young master of the Reyes family keep staring at Ms. Flora, anyway?

Flora?"

"Shut up," Adrian snapped, irritated.

Him, like Flora? As if.

He knew very well that someone like Flora wouldn't even give him a second look.

"Hey, I'm serious. I know my Flora is. amazing and it's normal to like her, but you better not even think about it. If you have any ulterior motives, my brother will kill you!"

"I don't have any ulterior motives. I was staring because Flora reminds me of someone!"

Kruz, acting like he had it all figured out, said, "Reminds you of someone? Your dream girl?" Adrian: "..."

Damn it.

They just couldn't communicate!

...

In the car.

Flora tilted her head, looking at Connor's still gloomy face, and laughed. "Jealous King."

Was it really necessary? So what if someone looked at her a bit longer?

Connor's ears turned a bit red. He

Too much.

But he couldn't help it. He couldn't stand another guy staring at Flora.

He was jealous.

Seeing him upset, Flora sighed, leaned closer, and kissed his cheek. "Connor, I'm yours, always yours."
