After setting her phone aside, Flora heard the bathroom door creak open. She turned to see Connor stepping out, steam swirling around him, and his long, athletic legs peeking from beneath a loose bathrobe. Her eyes flickered at the sight...
The next morning, Flora didn't rise until nine. Connor had already left, tied up with some work commitments over the past few days. He’d left her a sweet little note reminding her not to skip breakfast. Flora carefully folded the note, tucking it into a drawer before heading downstairs.
Typically, the house was quiet, just Amanda and a few staff around. But today, the living room buzzed with activity. A group of high-society ladies filled the sofas, deep in conversation. Amanda sat in the middle, cool and composed.
Flora paused slightly on the staircase, then continued her descent with her usual elegance.
“Flora, come on down!” Amanda called out warmly, waving her over with an inviting smile.
Flora approached the ladies, greeting them with a polite nod. “Good morning, everyone.”
Today, she wore a black down jacket, her hair tied back, and no makeup. Yet, her innate, cool demeanor shone through, making it hard for anyone to overlook her presence.
The ladies were taken aback, having heard Amanda's constant praise of Flora; seeing her now, they agreed she outshined many daughters of prestigious families they knew.
They all returned her greeting with courteous smiles.
“Alright, go grab some breakfast. Connor whipped it up early this morning. He made me promise to make sure you ate it all,” Amanda said, her eyes gleaming with affection.
“Flora, let's get some grub,” Kruz chimed in, seizing his chance to escape. He dreaded these gatherings of high-society women, which always seemed to spell trouble. At only nineteen, they were already nudging him about marriage—terrifying!
The ladies exchanged surprised glances.
Connor cooked breakfast for Flora?
Apparently, the rumors were true; Connor was utterly smitten with his fiancée. It was enviable that someone of his stature would personally cook for her.
