Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124 

Raul cheerfully agreed and let Connor take his place, as he dashed to the kitchen to prepare pork ribs for Flora. It was his daughter’s special request, and he was determined to do it right. 

When Connor sat down, Ray’s interest in playing poker waned. Both of them were an unusual pair; playing games with them was a guaranteed loss. 

However, when Ray thought Connor and Flora would collude for a win, Connor deliberately passed all the good cards to Henrik. 

Sometimes Henrik didn’t catch on right away, and Connor would continue to deal out another favorable card. Flora, too, quietly fed cards to Henrik. 

They helped Flora’s brother, and they were ganging up on Ray at the same time? 

With each hand dealt to Connor, Ray was on the verge of losing his mind. He was consistently the underdog, nearly spiraling into despair. 

It wasn’t until Raul called them for dinner that Ray felt a weight lifted off his shoulders, hurrying to the dining room. Connor and Flora exchanged a look, their mutual prank on Ray sparking shared amusement. 

During dinner, Raul asked Connor some questions, to which Connor always responded with humility and respect, offering deep insights. 

Raul was genuinely impressed with Connor. He had seen the years of Connor’s dedication firsthand. 

Connor’s devotion to Flora could be described as nothing less than wholehearted. 

Raul felt reassured entrusting Flora to Connor, but the thought of his precious daughter getting married still stirred a hint of jealousy in him. Therefore, Raul adopted the air of a future father–in–law schooling his son–in–law. 

After dinner, Connor prepared to do the dishes. 

Flora kicked Ray’s foot, “Think you can freeload here? Go do the dishes.” 

“Flora, your hospitality needs work,” Ray said seriously. 

“You’re not a guest right now.” Flora wagged her finger, “Forgot how much money you lost to me? I’m your creditor now. Either pay up or do the dishes.”
