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

Chapter 1157

"Hey, sis! I know yesterday was your birthday, but something came up, and I couldn't celebrate with you."

The young guy's cheeks turned a bit pink as he spoke, his eyes softening, the usual chill in them melting away whenever Flora was around.

Flora glanced at the pink gift box he held out and took it with a small smile. "Thanks."

He seemed even happier once she accepted the gift.

"How's your injury doing? All healed up?" Flora asked.

"Yeah, much better," he nodded. "Just a little sore now and then."

"Let me take a look."
