Chapter 39
Flora humed to the school entrance and immediately saw Connor’s car parked across the street. She quickly walked over and got into the back seat.
“Sweating already?” Connor handed her a tissue.
“I didn’t want to keep you waiting and got anxious.” Flora chuckled nervously, feeling a bit quilty,
“If you’re hot, you could take off your coat.”
She was wrapped up tightly, and Connor felt hot just looking at her. He thought Flora was acting a bit strange.
“It’s fine, it’s not that hot. I just broke a sweat running over here.
If she took off her coat, Connor would definitely see the bruises.
“Is everything alright with you today? Connor frowned, “Did you do something guilty? Are you hiding something from me?”
He was just speaking his mind, but Flora suddenly widened her eyes as if his words deeply wounded her. “You’re being harsh with me.”
Connor was slightly stunned, “I’m not.”
“So, you’re interrogating me?”
“Tm just asking.”
“Your tone is harsh,” Flora glared with an aggrieved and angry face.
Connor was speechless. He couldn’t follow the young girl’s train of thoughts. He didn’t get what was on her mind.
“What would you like to eat later?” Feeling a headache coming on, he quickly changed the subject.
“How about a spicy soup?”
“Sure.”
At night, Flora returned home to find Raul and Henrik still awake,
“Good evening.”
She approached them, shaking the bag in her hand, “Connor bought some apple pies from Tully’s, and there’s still plenty left. I brought some back for you to try.”
The way Flora mentioned Connor repeatedly made Raul feel a bit jealous.
When Flora didn’t like Connor, he was worried. He had watched Connor grow up and knew his character well. Raul couldn’t be more relieved with Flora in Connor’s care.
Now, seeing his daughter’s eyes and heart full of Connor, Raul began to feel jealous.
“You can have it. I’m old, and my teeth aren’t so good.”
“I’ll pass too, Flora. You enjoy,” Hennik said indifferently.
Flora still smiled, “You’re not eating? Then,
en, I’ll have it myself. I was worried there wouldn’t be enough for me”
So, she was just being polite earlier.
“I’m going to my room to wash up now. Goodnight.” Flora, carrying a big bag of snacks, cheerfully went upstairs.
After washing up, she lay in bed messaging Connor.
There was a knock on the door. “Flora, it’s me, May I come in?”
“Come in.”
Henrik entered, holding a glass of milk..
Seeing Flora in her pajamas, lying in bed with her hair still damp, he frowned slightly. “What’s up?” Flors asked.
“You came back smelling like spicy soup today. Drink some milk. It’ll ease your stomach tomorrow.”
“Aww, you’re so sweet!” Flora smiled, taking the milk and drinking a big gulp.
Henrik took a hairdryer from the shelf, plugged it in, and adjusted the temperature.
When Flora finished her milk, he said, “Come here, let’s dry your hair before you s
“Ah, it’s fine. I’m used to it.”
sleep”
“Be good”

Flora slowly walked over and sat down. The hairdryer buzzed, but it wasn’t annoying.
“Flora, I’m planning to start a talent agency. It won’t be very big initially. I’ve been in the entertainment Industry for so many years, and I’ve built some connections. Many artists are willing to follow me.”
Henrik spoke gently, his tone even.
Flora’s heart trembled.
