Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1436

"Sure thing."

Tyler quickly grabbed a takeout container, packing up both the porridge and dumplings. In his haste, he packed his own portion too, which made Fiona shake her head with a mix of amusement and exasperation, prompting her to tell him to leave some out for himself.

Just as she was sorting it out, Jackson pulled up, and Fiona headed out with the takeout box in hand.

Jackson's car was parked right outside the apartment. He was still in the driver's seat, casually resting one arm on the car door, his fingers tapping away idly. His hands were exceptionally striking—nails neatly trimmed, fingers long and well-defined, with tendons that gave his hand a sculpted look, akin to polished marble. It was hard to look away.

Fiona had a weakness for a handsome face, and even more so for beautiful hands. She licked her cheek, eyes fixed on his hand as she slowly made her way over.

Seeing her approach, Jackson got out and opened the car door for her. His gaze flickered momentarily up to the second-floor balcony of the apartment.

"Have you had breakfast? I brought you something to eat."

Once Fiona was settled in, Jackson handed her a bag. It was still pretty early, and knowing her usual routine, he guessed she hadn't eaten yet. He'd made sure the chef prepared something special.

"I already ate."

Already? Jackson's brow furrowed slightly.

Fiona blinked at him, though she accepted the bag and gave it a sniff. It smelled alright, but it couldn't quite match Tyler's cooking.

"Hey, I brought you breakfast too."

Fiona handed over the takeout box. "Try this; it's really good. I had a bunch this morning."

Jackson's gaze deepened as he looked at the takeout box. She'd just come from the apartment, and she wasn't the type to wake up early to cook. It was pretty clear who'd made it.

Well, breakfast was already being handled. Good thing he’d had that guy move out. Young hearts and all—didn't need them getting tangled up too soon.

Still, the fact that she thought to bring him some was touching. Shouldn't he be a little moved?

Jackson chuckled softly.
