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

Chapter 78

At the karaoke bar, everyone was enthusiastically wishing Carina a happy birthday.

Flora was sitting in a comer, seemingly out of place.

“Happy

birthday to our Carina! Let’s cut the cake now!”

“Wait a minute, someone’s not here yet.” Carina said with a smile.

“Who’s missing?” Everyone was curious.

About ten minutes later, someone arrived, looking rushed. It was Aaron.

Carina, why did you invite him?” A boy said discontentedly.

Carina just smiled and replied, “We’re all friends here, aren’t we?”

Aaron had been having a tough time lately. Without Flora’s protection at school, he realized how hard things could be.

“Alright, let’s cut the cake.”

Carina gave Aaron a look, signaling him to sit next to Flora, and then started to encourage everyone to cut the cake and blow out the candles.
