Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1386

"Holy smokes, Nash, your uncle is seriously handsome."

Robert and the gang were floored.

Is this what they call the allure of a grown man?

"Nash, has your uncle ever treated you like this?" someone asked cautiously. "I remember last year when you messed up at school, he almost broke your legs."

Nothing like how he's treating Fiona today, all gentle and sweet, like he's scared she might get upset.

Nash: "..."

Let’s not even go there.

It's a real punch to the gut.

He watched, feeling a mix of relief and frustration, as Jackson was all affectionate with Fiona. On one hand, he was glad Jackson was there to back Fiona up, keeping the gossipers at bay. On the other, he was bummed that his uncle treated him worse than he did Fiona.

What’s his uncle’s deal with Fiona, anyway?

Fiona glanced up at Jackson.

He towered over her, and when she looked up, she could just catch sight of his sharply defined jawline.

Beneath that distinct jawline was a prominent Adam's apple, tucked under a black silk shirt, radiating the vibe of a mature man.

Dang, he's good-looking.

But his words, were they a bit too open-ended? Saying he hasn't cut back on her food or clothes, people might get the wrong idea about how close they are.

The parents, hearing Jackson's cool yet slightly ticked-off voice, were scared stiff.

This was not someone they wanted to cross.

"Mr. Woods, we're so sorry, we didn’t realize Ms. Fiona was your sister."

"We were just worried about our kids. Seeing all that stuff on the forums freaked us out, so we rushed over. But once we got here, we saw Ms. Fiona was nothing like what the forums said—she's sweet, kind, generous, and sensible!"

"The forum stuff was total rubbish! Ms. Fiona is so lovely, we couldn't help but adore her. Even if you hadn't shown up today, Mr. Woods, we would never have given Ms. Fiona a hard time!"
