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

Chapter 1059

Hanging up the call, Flora slipped her phone into her pocket and leaned her head on her hand, watching Connor intently.

He had just shrugged off his coat and set it aside, while a few flakes of snow lingered in his hair. As he brushed them away, he caught Flora's gaze and returned it with a curious look. "Is everything okay?" "Nothing really," Flora chuckled softly, teasingly hooking a finger under his chin. "Just wondering how you can be so handsome. It's a bit hard to resist."

Meanwhile, Henrik was on the phone with Cecelia, offering to take her out for dinner. Cecelia's mind was a swirl of emotions. She hadn't sent money to Liam, and knowing his fiery temper, she expected him to call and rant or show up at her doorstep. But he hadn't. Worried that Liam was plotting something, she did some sleuthing. It turned out Liam had left Maple Grove, and no one knew where he went. She knew him too well; he wouldn't leave without getting paid. Further digging revealed police cars had been spotted at Liam's place.

She wasn't naive; she quickly pieced it together. Henrik must have been the one to intervene on her behalf. Could Mr. Raul really be interested in her? Was he crazy? To actually like her?

Lost in thought, she gazed out of the car window, her mind elsewhere, while Henrik drove. He noticed her distraction. "Hold on a moment."

Stopping by a bakery, Henrik parked and stepped out, leaving Cecelia in a mix of curiosity and excitement.
