Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 373

Christian was on edge, worried Jillian would blurt out something reckless. In a moment of fury, he struck her leg with his cane. The pain nearly brought her to her knees, but he quickly dragged her away.

Flora nodded and left the office. Stepping out of the building, she spotted Connor standing under a large oak tree across the street. He had his back to her, dressed in a simple white shirt and jeans, one hand casually in his pocket. Even from behind, he was tall and commanding, enough to make any girl swoon.

But his aura screamed "stay away," so she didn't dare approach, only took a few photos from a distance. Connor, wearing a face mask, was growing impatient. The constant ogling from the girls made him uncomfortable.

He'd put on the mask to avoid attention, but it wasn't working.

"Connor!"
