Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1518

"Alright, Fiona, no need to worry," Jackson said with a rare, gentle smile, his eyes soft with affection he didn't even realize he had. "Catch a bit more sleep."

They'd gotten back late the previous night, and Fiona loved her beauty sleep, so she definitely hadn't caught enough Z's.

"You're the best, Jackson!" Fiona chimed, snuggling into his shoulder, drifting back off into a deep slumber.

There was something about Jackson's presence—his calming aura and soothing scent—that made Fiona feel like she could sleep even more soundly.

A faint smile played on his lips.

Watching Fiona through the rearview mirror, Jackson noticed her smiling in her sleep, like she was lost in the sweetest of dreams.

"Take it easy on the road," Jackson gently reminded the driver.

The ride was smooth until they neared a traffic light where a truck suddenly barreled through, cutting them off.

The driver slammed on the brakes, the tires screeching loudly.

Jackson's forehead creased in concern as he instinctively reached out to steady Fiona. He cradled her to keep her in the most comfortable position and shielded her ears with his hand.

"What just happened?" Jackson's voice was as chilly as his glare towards the driver. "Didn't I tell you to be cautious?"

"Sir, a truck ran the red light," the driver explained, trying to keep his cool.

Jackson wasn't in the mood for explanations. With a cold glance, he instructed, "Sort it out and get Fiona home safely."

"Yes, sir."
