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

Chapter 1088

It was New Year's Eve, and Flora couldn't help but chuckle at how cheeky those two kids were, taking full advantage of their rare chance to use their phones.

Raul, feeling his age, headed to bed early instead of waiting for midnight. But before he did, he handed Cecelia a generous gift envelope. "Dear, take this. It's a little something for your first visit, just a bit of tradition."

With a warm smile, he patted her hand gently. "We all adore you, and I truly hope you might become a part of our family one day."

He then gave Henrik a knowing look. "But I'll leave you young folks to sort your own affairs," he chuckled, heading upstairs.
