Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1451

So, did Uncle drop by because he had a tiff with Aunt?

"Uncle, did something happen between you and Aunt?" Fiona asked, her curiosity piqued.

"That's grown-up stuff, not for kids to meddle in."

Henrik's usually calm eyes had a hint of frustration. He and Cecelia weren't really fighting. It was more like Cecelia seemed keen on picking fights.

Unlike Flora, who was all about lounging around and getting cozy with Connor, Cecelia was fiercely independent and always seeking security. When they first talked about getting married, she kept dodging him. Connor and Flora already had a kid, but Cecelia wasn't ready to tie the knot with him. She'd always change the subject.

To avoid him, she even took acting gigs out of town. One night, after having a bit too much to drink, he caught her as she was heading to her room.

"Mr. Raul..."

See that? Heartless. They've been together for so long, and she still calls him Mr. Raul.

Knowing her fears, he stayed loyal and made their relationship public early on to give her the security she craved. But despite all that, she was still hesitant, and he had to half-coax her into getting married. After they tied the knot, she didn’t want kids, and he was cool with that.

Connor treated Flora like a queen, and Henrik spoiled Cecelia just the same. He never stepped on her freedom, was there for her acting gigs, and supported everything she wanted to do. In the entertainment world, no one dared mess with Cecelia. Everyone knew she had Henrik, her doting husband, backing her up.

His unwavering love over the years finally gave Cecelia the confidence she lacked. But now... she was almost too confident! And it was Henrik who felt insecure!

With Cecelia so focused on her career, Henrik felt neglected and was always trailing after her. This time, their spat came from Cecelia taking a big TV show gig abroad for over two months without telling him. Henrik couldn’t join her because of work, and that really ticked him off. And Cecelia hadn’t even bothered to call home during her time away!

The more Henrik thought about it, the more it riled him up.
