Chapter 75
Rafael ended the call and saw Connor leisurely enjoying his meal. He frowned and said coldly, “I’m not joking with you. If you hurt Flora In any way, 111 make sure you regret it!”
“What you described will never happen. With your abilities, you can’t even fulfill that threat.”
Connor’s tone remained indifferent, but his words were sharp enough to choke someone.
Rafael was infuriated. What did Connor mean?
He couldn’t fulfill the threat? Was Connor questioning Rafael’s ability?
Just then, Flore walked in. She noticed the tense atmosphere between the two.
“What’s going on?” She sat down, her gaze briefly crossing Rafael.
“What could I possibly do? Why are you so afraid of me–bullying him?” Rafael replied irritably.
“You’re overthinking. I’m not womed about you bullying him.” Flora slowly spoke,
Rafael’s mood had just started to improve when he heard her next sentence. “You’d just end up being completely outplayed by him.”
Just as Rafael was about to burst with anger, Devin’s call come in.
Rafael thought it was about some variety show arrangements that needed to be finalized, but what he heard next dumbfounded him. “What the hell? Two hundred million? Who’s making such a fuss? Do they want me to participate in that variety show? And I can’t refuse?”
Flors watched as Rafael’s expression changed from disbelief to utter despair. “What happened?” she asked. She was more curious than concomed.
Rafael was on the verge of tears, the despair clear on his face. “I’m off to on that show in Antarctical
After dinner, Flora repeatedly warned Rafael not to follow her, or he would face the consequences.
Knowing Flora’s temper, Rafael wisely chose not to continue following her. Along the way, he noticed Connor didn’t do anything excessive and was rather gentle and considerate with Flora.
This slightly eased his worries.
But now, he had to find that damned person, who had nothing better to do than exploit him into getting on that show in Antarctica!
In the evening, a gentle breeze blew as Connor’s car slowly came to a stop outside the Irving family’s villa. Connor helped her unbuckle her seatbelt
“Make sure to rest early once you’re home.”
“Goodnight!” With a giggly hug, Flora wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her soft body against his. Connor, looking at his beloved girl so close, leaned down slightly.
Like a breath of spring, a kiss softly landed on Flora’s lips.
“Goodnight
Flora blinked, initially unresponsive, then her face turned beet red!
Connor’s kiss was incredibly restrained and polite, nearly imperceptible, but the tingling sensation on her lips lingered.
Meanwhile, Raul and Hennik were sneakily watching from the second floor bay window of the Irving family’s home. They saw Connor kiss Flors, and their gazes darkened with unspoken thoughts, while they ground their teeth in frustration.
Without a word, Raul walked over to the bedside table and picked up an electric shock baton. Then, with a blank expression, he opened the drawer and took out nunchucks.
Unbeknownst to Connor, he was moments away from a perilous fate.
Henrik, expressionless, came downstairs. He opened the villa’s main door,
Without saying a word, he merely stared deeply at the car
The villa’s lights shone through, surprising Flora at first, but upon seeing Henink at the door, her ears tumed red. “I should get going. now!”
She quickly spoke and dashed off!
What a pity. If only Henrik hadn’t appeared. Flora had hoped to enjoy a moment with Connor…
Well..
Just a little peck.

Chapter 75
Connor also got out of the car, knowing it was impolite to enter the Irving family’s home so late, but since Henrik had come out, he naturally had to greet him.
“Henrik.”
“Hmm”
Henrik coldly replied, “You’ve brought her home. Now leave.” Then, he expressionlessly slammed the door shut
In the living room, Raul was nonchalantly reading the newspaper on the sofa.
“Hey, Dad!” Flora greeted.
Raul lowered his newspaper slightly, revealing his eyes behind glasses. “Flora you need to come home earlier in the future. It’s not safe for a girl to be out late at night!”
“Got it.”
Shifting uncomfortably because of the electric shock baton in his seat, Raul found a more comfortable position.
Remembering something, he added, “Oh, and Carina’s birthday is the day after tomorrow. Ask her at school tomorrow how she plans to celebrate with us or her classmates.”
Despite Carina’s misdeeds, she was still his niece. Raul still cared for her
Carina’s birthday….
Flora paused for a moment. Yes, Carina’s birthday was coming up.
Carina’s birthday party had been a disaster for Flora in her past life. Now, with her rebirth, many things had changed. She wondered….
What surprises would this time bring?
“Til ask her at school. Flora replied, her eyes slightly squinted, a bit mischievous.
