Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 511

Right now, she felt absolutely awful. Her whole body was drained of energy, and she hadn’t had a proper rest in ages. The second her head hit the pillow, sleep washed over her like a wave.

She gently kicked Ray with her foot, her movements soft and delicate.

"Ray, you're such a pain."

Her voice was tinged with a mix of helplessness and frustration, lacking its usual sharpness. It was almost like a whisper, airy and, surprisingly, carried a hint of playfulness.

Ray’s throat tightened.

He looked down at her, her eyes now closed, took a deep breath, and pushed down the surge of desire rising within him before getting up from her side.

It took a moment for him to fully realize that the person in front of him was indeed Ray.

“Wade.”

He forced out a nervous chuckle, his eyes filled with caution.

“What’s that you’re holding?”
