Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 740

Connor had taken up cooking as a hobby, but what about him? Even if he whipped up a meal, Aisha wouldn't give him a second glance, right?

“You just don’t want to do it; stop making excuses,” Flora said, squinting her eyes with a knowing look. “There’s a world of difference between a meal cooked by a lover and one cooked by a maid. Cook Aisha a meal, and she’ll be touched for sure.”

“Really?”

“To win a woman's heart, you gotta win her stomach first. Just look at me and Connor.”

Ray: “…”

Well, that kinda made sense.

Looks like he’d have to learn how to cook!

Connor, who had just stepped out holding a thermal container, overheard their conversation. His eyes narrowed with determination.

Seems like he needed to up his culinary game too!

He handed the container to Ray, signaling him to leave: “Two servings, enough for you and Aisha. Take it and go.”

“Alright.” Ray grinned as he accepted the container. “I won’t intrude on your cozy time with Flora then.”

“Take care.”

Just as Ray reached the door, Connor called out to him, “If you need help, just say the word.”

Ray’s grip on the container tightened. Connor was always so perceptive.

Always knowing everything.

…

After Mr. Tanner got back, he immediately announced the shortlist. It was supposed to go out yesterday, but he had delayed it for Flora’s sake. Now, it had to be published.

“Director, is there really no way to reconsider?” one of the senior staff asked. “Flora’s talent is undeniable. It’d be a shame if she doesn’t compete.”

“Yes, with Flora, we actually stand a chance at winning.”

Mr. Tanner was frustrated: “Alright, just release the shortlist now. Don’t get your hopes up for that stubborn girl.”

He had seen through her; once she made up her mind, nobody could change it.

…

The Medical Championship was a globally recognized competition, attracting widespread attention. Everyone was eager to see who would represent their country.

To them, Flora joining the national medical team and competing in the Medical Championship was a given, considering her unparalleled talent in all of Austenberg.

Thus, as soon as the shortlist was announced, social media exploded!

: Am I blind? Why don’t I see Flora’s name!

: I can’t see it either! Damn, did Flora not pass the exam? Impossible. With her track record, passing should be a piece of cake, right?

:Haha, well, that’s not necessarily true. The national medical team’s exams are notoriously difficult; many veteran professors might not even make the cut. Flora is young, so failing isn’t out of the ordinary. But weren’t Flora’s fans saying she was going to lead Austenberg to victory? They said she wouldn’t even join the national team if asked, and now, she didn’t even pass the exam. Hilarious.
