Chapter 212
Selene dropped another stack of books on Flora’s desk. “Here, consider these my apology”
“That’s it?” Flora raised on eyebrow.
Selene wasn’t thrilled with her tone. “These textbooks are from top students, filled with detailed notes. And these notes–I copied them myself. They’re Henrik’s notes! Do you even know who Henrik is? He was the student who got the highest score thirteen years ago!”
Selene felt she had done more than enough. She had ripped Flora’s book and now she was compensating with an entire set.
Flora never took notes. These books Selene brought were from all the top students. If Flora had just been a bit more diligent, studied those notes, she could have easily gotten into a top university
Flora casually picked up one of the notebooks. The notes were indeed her brother’s. However, they were copies, and they didn’t feel as good as the originals Henrik had given her.
She closed the notebook and handed it back to Selene. “No thank you, I have my own books. You can keep these.”
Then, she pushed the stack of books back towards Selene.
Selene frowned, clearly displeased. She wondered what good books a poor student like Flora could possibly have. These books and notes would be fought over if offered to others. Yet Flora didn’t want them.
Keeping a straight face, Selene decided to stay silent, She had offered the books, and if Flora didn’t want them, she better not come begging later.
Flora pulled the books from the box and placed them on the table. A few pages were open, and Selene couldn’t help but glance over She recognized the handwriting immediately and frowned. “Where did you get these books?”
The handwriting was identical to the notes in her own books.
Flora was exasperated. Placing the last book on the table, she sincerely asked, “Do you know why Henrik’s last name is Irving?”
Selene was confused. “What are you talking about?”
Flora continued, “Because my dad’s last name is Irving.”
Selene was still puzzled.
Flora opened the first page of the top book and said flatly. “Henrik is my brother”
Now, Selene was stunned.
After school, Connor

“Flora, I need to go to the States for a week,” Connor said suddenly, halfway through their meal.
Flora looked up. “What’s going on?”
Connor pursed his lips. “It’s about my
y mother.”
Flora nodded. “Send my regards to your mom if you get the chance.”
“Sure. Take care of yourself, and call me if anything happens. I’m available 24/7:
Flora was chewing on ribs but her mind was elsewhere. Queen Algra had asked her to go to Maple Grove to treat someone. With Connor leaving Cedarvale, she could use this time to go to Maple Grove.
“I haven’t even left yet and you’re already distracted?” Connor teased, noticing her wandering gaze. He placed some peeled shrimp into her bowl. “Will you miss me?”
“Of course!” Flora nodded eagerly. “Without you here. Ill be a wreck! I won’t eat well, won’t sleep well. I just sit around missing you all day.”
Connor laughed, his lips curling into a gentle smile. He was leaving early the next morning, and when Flora offered to see him off, he declined. He didn’t want to disturb her since she’d sull be sleeping.
After dinner, Connor dropped Flora back at the Irving residence and then went back to his villa to pack.
