Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1163

In the forest behind the hill, as noon rolled around, Flora and her crew decided to take a breather right where they were. Their first-aid kit was stocked with some pre-made sandwiches and pickles. Luiz and the others found the meal a bit tough to get down, but hunger and the promise of more grueling work ahead meant they had to fuel up.

Flora wasn’t usually fussy about her food, but ever since Connor had spoiled her palate, those sandwiches seemed particularly uninviting. Her senior sister noticed, throwing a glance at the savory braised fish in her bowl and then at the hefty sandwich in Flora’s. A sly grin crept onto her face. Newbies needed to know their place, after all.

“Flora~” Her senior brother, noticing her uneaten meal, sidled over, offering his lunch box. “FloraFlora, mine's a bit nicer. Why not have some of mine?”

“Oh yeah, little Flora, go ahead and have mine. I've got beef!”

“I brought some homemade beef jerky, Flora, you've got to try it!”

Seeing her reluctance, a few senior brothers offered up their meals. The senior sister pouted, “I want some beef jerky too!”

He handed her a small piece with a touch of reluctance and passed the rest to Flora. “FloraFlora, it's all yours. Dig in!”

The senior sister’s face darkened, especially as she watched her crush gravitate towards Flora. Her expression soured even more, prompting her to abruptly get up and walk away.

“Flora, that gal’s got it in for you,” Selene nudged Flora with her elbow.

Flora replied with a laid-back “Ah.” She’d faced plenty of folks who weren't too fond of her, but she’d managed to handle them all just fine. As long as they didn’t cross her line, she couldn’t be bothered to deal with them.

After lunch, Flora and her group got back into action. “We’re heading into a risky area now, lots of cliffs and steep drops. Everyone, stay sharp!” The senior brother warned, as the five of them each took a couple of newcomers under their wing. That way, if any trouble came up, they could lend a hand.
