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

Chapter 1098

Flora arched an eyebrow, her hand resting comfortably on Connor's waist. "Why?"

"She's been a fan for years, finally got the chance to design something for me, and you let her go? She's probably crying her eyes out somewhere," Rafael's voice had an awkward edge to it. Flora smirked, intrigued. "Since when do you care about people crying?"

"It's not really that. She's close to you, so I thought I'd look out for her. Felt kind of bad, you know?"

"Oh, really now?" Flora's voice took on a teasing lilt as her fingers traced circles on Connor's side.
