Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 972

To help Flora and the heirs bond a bit more, he found a reason to slip away.

The heirs were clueless about how to deal with Flora. She was younger than them, and after her chilly attitude towards Jaden earlier, she seemed pretty unapproachable, leaving them a bit on edge.

"Ms. Flora, can I ask you something? Why does Grandpa call you his master?"

A boy in a tracksuit plopped down next to her, full of curiosity.

"Ah," Flora blinked, "I didn't take him on as a student."

He chose to call me that himself.

"Are you really that good at mixing perfumes? I heard you're also amazing at medicine and racing!"

"Not too shabby," Flora said, resting her chin on her hand, "I dabble in a bit of everything."

The other heirs couldn't resist joining in the conversation. Forget the assessment for now—who wouldn't want to chat with such a stunner?

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of things.

Jaden walked out of the villa quietly.

Candace had been waiting outside. When she spotted him, she quickly said, "Jaden, I just saw Flora! She seemed..."

"I know," Jaden's voice was heavy, "She's the special guest Grandpa invited."

Candace's face went pale.

So, it really was her...

"Wait a second, why are you out here alone?" Candace picked up on something unusual. "Did Flora do something to you? Is she getting back at you?"

"I—"

"Mr. Jaden."

Jaden closed his eyes and let out a deep breath.

Candace was all he had.

Leaving the Neville family might be tough, but he would never abandon Candace, no way.

Having been an orphan, taken in by Nathan, he knew all too well the fear of being left behind.

Candace choked up, as if she expected him to say something else. She was his lifesaver; he wouldn't dare leave her!

She was focused on how to handle the Neville family's heir situation!

Candace muttered Flora's name under her breath, her gaze intense as if she'd made a big decision.

For the title of the Neville family's lady, she'd swallow her pride and ask Flora for help!

She hoped Flora wouldn't be foolish enough to say no!
