Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 971

Flora: "......"

Nathan: "......"

"Ms. Flora, I'm really sorry, I honestly didn't know you were the important person my granddad was talking about. And you're so young, too. So, I—"

He couldn't finish. It was just too humiliating.

Once the first person started, the others followed suit, handing over their gifts.

Flora glanced at the massage chair, health supplements for seniors, orthopedic insoles, a fancy teacup, and a blood pressure monitor, lost in thought for a moment.

Nathan hid his face in his hands, feeling utterly embarrassed for himself.

"Ms. Flora,"

Jaden stepped forward, offering Flora a gift box, his voice a bit shaky: "About that misunderstanding we had at the underground market, I hope you won't hold it against me. This piece of jade is supposed to help with relaxation and sleep. If you don't need it, maybe someone older in your family could use it."

Flora didn't say anything. She just leaned on the table, resting her chin on her hand, and looked at him.

She didn't reach out to take it.

The other heirs exchanged puzzled looks. What was going on? From Jaden's words, could it be that he had offended Ms. Flora?

"Ms. Flora..."

Jaden's hand hung awkwardly in the air, his polite smile starting to falter.

"Take your gift back."

Flora finally spoke, her voice calm and steady: "You, leave."

Jaden's grip on the gift tightened, and he instinctively glanced at Nathan.

Nathan wasn't looking back at him.

He already knew the full story and was pretty disappointed in Jaden.

All for Candace, to bad-mouth a young girl in front of so many people.

Nathan turned to the young man in sportswear. Everyone else had given their gifts except for him.

The young man scratched his nose; he hadn't brought anything, but he didn't dare admit it, afraid Nathan would give him a hard time.

After a moment of thought, he pulled a handful of candies from his pocket, spreading them out in his hand for Flora: "Ms. Flora, want some?"

Nathan: "......"

If Flora weren't here, he'd probably have given the kid a good whack!

Sure, the others might've gotten the gifts wrong, but at least they tried. This kid was just too laid-back!

Flora glanced at the candy, spotting the honey crisp Connor often bought for her. She picked it up, unwrapped it, and popped it in her mouth.

As the sweetness spread, Flora remarked cheerfully: "Not bad."

Nathan gave the young man another look.
