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

Chapter 1276

"Flora, sweetheart!" Joey called out, his voice carrying through the air as the girl turned around, revealing it was indeed Flora.

Joey rubbed his eyes in disbelief; it was really her. Just moments ago, he'd almost mistaken her for that ominous woman from the Enforcement Division. No way, no how! How could they possibly be alike? That woman gave him the creeps, while Flora was a breath of fresh air! "What are you doing out here instead of heading inside?" Joey and his companions quickly approached Flora, noticing Connor standing beside her. "And who's this?"

Mae squinted, giving Connor the once-over like she was sizing up a future son-in-law.

His thick eyebrows, straight nose, and thin lips framed eyes as dark as obsidian, sparkling with a sharp intelligence. His cool, calm demeanor was reassuring.

"Fiancé?!" Joey and Mae exchanged looks of surprise. Flora had just arrived in the Western Lands; how did she already have a fiancé? They didn't even know this guy! Could Flora have been tricked?
