Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1496

She wasn't a fan of anyone messing with her peaceful life, especially someone as high-profile as Allen. If people found out, who knows what kind of drama would unfold. Besides, she just wanted her school years to remain calm and steady; everything else could wait.

“If there’s an emergency, I’ll get in touch immediately. Don’t worry, I’ll cover any medical costs and won’t bother you with unnecessary chit-chat.”

“Alright.”

Fiona opened up her QR code, and they added each other as friends. She believed that turning down easy money was just plain silly, so she wasn't about to pass up this opportunity.

In the days that followed, Allen stopped having nightmares, and life went back to normal. Thanks to Fiona’s advice, Allen started eating regularly and refused food from anyone, not even from Christina.

“From now on, no need to bring me warm milk at night,” Allen said, declining the milk Christina offered with a calm look. “It’s late, you should get some rest.”

“Milk is good for your sleep. You shouldn’t just take Ms. Fiona’s word for it. Nutrition experts also recommend a glass of milk before bed for better sleep,” Christina insisted. But the next moment, the housekeeper took the milk from her hand, and it spilled on the floor.

Allen then excused himself to get some rest. He wasn’t dense—Fiona’s hints were clear as day. If he didn’t get it, he’d really be missing the point. He stared at the spilled milk, deep in thought, and quickly gathered it into a sealed bag.

Before bed, he sent Fiona a message. “Ms. Fiona, I have something I need tested. Name your price.”

Fiona was on a video call with Jackson, who was busy with paperwork in his study while she lay on her bed reading comics, throwing in the occasional joke for Jackson.

“Hey, can I grab some more comics from your study tomorrow?” she asked playfully, her cheeks slightly flushed from lying down, but her smile was sweet. “I want the third book from the left behind you.”
