Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 549

He remembered he had to talk business, and lowering his voice, he said to Flora, "Flora, you better hurry down. He's still waiting for you downstairs."

He, of course, was Connor.

The documents in Jules's hands had also been provided by Connor. Because she had to pick up those documents, that's why she was late. Hearing that Connor had arrived made Flora smile a bit. She hurried downstairs.

"Hey, hey, hey—"

Dr. Ray quickly patted Shawn, signaling him with a nod and a nudge. "Go after her, quick!"

Earlier, when he had asked Flora to return to the lab, she had ignored him, likely still upset. Worried that Flora might actually skip the lab, and knowing that Shawn had always had a good relationship with her, Dr. Ray quickly urged him to catch up and smooth things over.

Shawn caught on fast and immediately ran after Flora.

...

Downstairs.

Libby rushed down the stairs and saw Connor standing under a tree. Jealousy and anger twisted her insides, making her stomach churn.

Why, just why?

Just then, Connor's gaze shifted past her, seeming to spot something, and the oppressive aura surrounding him slightly receded. The intimidating presence also faded. Libby, feeling utterly drained, her legs trembling, had the sensation of being snatched back from the gates of hell. Without another thought, she turned and fled in a panic.

Connor watched as Flora emerged from the stairwell, the darkness in his eyes slowly dissipating, replaced by a soft warmth. He moved to approach her, but another man came out from the stairwell.

He stopped in his tracks.

The man called out to Flora, and when she turned and saw him, she also paused. The two stood side by side, the man speaking continuously while Flora listened, seemingly with great patience. Whatever the man said made her smile.

At that moment, Connor felt volcanic jealousy erupting in his chest!
