Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1799

Fiona had a restless night, tossing and turning until morning. With dark circles under her eyes, she shuffled out of her bedroom to find Jackson already whipping up breakfast.

He noticed her panda eyes and seemed unsurprised, flashing a knowing smile. “Come on, breakfast is ready,” he said, waving her over.

Fiona wasn’t in the mood for pleasantries. She’d spent the whole night wrestling with a puzzle she just couldn’t crack. She wasn’t lacking in looks, and she was confident in her body and abilities. So why was Jackson acting so disinterested?

It was maddening. Fiona shot him a glare and plopped down at the table, focusing on her oatmeal, too irritated to engage.

“Here, try these. They’re a new flavor,” Jane said. Fiona glanced down and then eyed Jane suspiciously. “What’s your angle this time?”
