Chapter 232
Behind her, Crimson’s stare was practically boring holes into Flora.
Releasing Connor, Flora cleared her throat. “Connor, hang on a sec, I’ve got something to handle.”
Connor nodded, his eyes tracking her every move.
Flora dashed over to Crimson. “Head back to Club 257. I’ll fill you in on everything when I get back.”
Crimson hesitated, glancing between Flora and Connor, but eventually, she swallowed her curiosity and nodded. She still had the Bryant family to deal with,
Connor’s gaze lingered on Crimson for a couple of seconds before shifting away. He recognized her; she was the vice president of Club 257. So, his Flora was truly deceptively mysterious.
In the helicopter, Flora removed her mask and hat, using a special toner to wipe off her makeup. Connor had already taken off his mask and stood by, watching Flora cleanse her face.
With the heavy makeup gone, her stunning beauty shone through. Seeing that familiar face, Connor’s eyes softened.
“When did you recognize me?” Flora asked curiously as she patted her face dry with a towel.
“The day Aisha had her surgery,” Connor replied honestly.
Flora’s eyes widened in realization. In the urgency of that day, she had inadvertently revealed herself while treating Aisha.
“Does Ray know too?”
“Not yet.”
Ray was so focused on Aisha that he wouldn’t have noticed.
Flora’s lips curved into a slight smile, pleased that Ray was still in the dark about her identity. She clung to Connor like an octopus, completely letting her guard down. “Is everything sorted with your mom?” She asked in a soft, somewhat sweet voice.
“Not yet.” Connor tightened his grip on Flora’s waist. “I’ll drop you off at the Irving family, then head back to the States.”
Flora’s safety was the only thing that eased his mind.
Flora rested her head against Connor’s chest, her voice tender. “You don’t have to worry about me; I can handle everything.”
She didn’t want Connor to be so exhausted. He had rushed back to Maple Grove upon hearing she was in trouble.
“But I can’t be at peace. I can’t bear the thought of anything happening to you,” Connor’s voice was strained. “Flora, I can’t live without you.”
Her nose tingled with emotion. Flora looked up into Connor’s eyes and said, “Connor, you won’t be without me. We’ll be together forever and always.”
Nothing in this life could tear them apart!
