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

Chapter 1432

Fiona paused to think but eventually shook her head. "I can't. I've got some stuff to deal with, so I won't be able to come over for the next few days." "What's going on?" Jackson asked.

"I found my friend's brother."

Fiona didn't hold back, telling him straight up, "I brought him home with me. He's crashing at my place, and I need to sort out his stuff for a bit." "If there's anything you can't handle, just let me know."

Jackson didn't press further. He figured Fiona, still quite young herself, probably had a friend's brother who was around thirteen or fourteen. He dropped Fiona off at her place, watched her head inside, and then drove off to his own.
