"Connor." She called out, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
Connor didn't respond, just stared at her.
She promised she would never leave him again.
Always.
To be good to him forever.
He tried to calm his racing heart, took a deep breath, and walked towards Flora.
With his tall frame and long strides, he quickly closed the gap, wrapped his arms around Flora's waist, and lifted her from the couch.
"Bro, you're here!"
Kruz felt a wave of relief wash over him at the sight of Connor.
Thank God he's here, he thought. Otherwise, he was genuinely worried about what his mom might do to Flora.
Oh, wait.
He was actually worried about what Flora might do to his mom.
He still remembered how Flora had knocked down a burly guy with a single punch.
"Let's go."
Connor didn't acknowledge Kruz or Amanda; his eyes were locked on Flora the whole time.
After speaking softly, he held Flora's waist and started to leave.
Amanda, who had been quietly observing, couldn't stay silent any longer. "Stop right there!"
Her tone was sharp. "You finally come over, and you can't even say hello?"
She had just called Flora over, and he showed up right after. What, was he afraid she would bully Flora?
Typical, she thought. A son who forgets his mother the moment he has a wife!
Connor didn't reply but turned to Flora, speaking gently. "Flora, could you wait for me outside for a bit? Just a little while, I'll be right out."
"Okay."
Flora understood he needed to talk to Amanda and nodded before stepping outside.
Once she was gone, the softness in Connor's eyes vanished.
He turned to Amanda, his dark eyes cold and unfeeling.
...
Connor's car was parked outside. Flora walked over and got into the back seat.
