Chapter 344 The Sweetest Surprise

He brushed his fingertips together, trying to calm the flutter in his chest.

No guy could stay completely calm when a girl looked at you like that.

Her eyes were full of nothing but trust and dependence, and it made his heart soften completely.

Leighton let out a quiet sigh. She was so easy to make happy.

All it took was a pretty bouquet, and she’d look at him like he’d given her the whole world.

“Leighton, let’s go home.”

Zora reached out and tugged softly on the bottom of his shirt.

His hands were full of all their snacks and bags, so she had no other way to hold onto him.

These flowers were so pretty, and she couldn’t wait to get home and take tons of pictures of them.

She definitely wanted to show them off too.

Zora had always loved every kind of flower.

When she lived out in the countryside, fresh flowers were placed in her room every single morning without fail.

Spring brought tulips, peonies, cherry blossoms and magnolias.

Summer had gardenias, jasmine, lotus, roses, hydrangeas and sunflowers.

Fall was filled with fragrant goldenrod, hibiscus and camellias.

Winter had winter jasmine and elegant orchids.

Her mentor had built a private garden and flower greenhouse just for her.

For over ten years, he’d switched out fresh flowers in her room every single day, never missing

once.

But after she moved in with the Knox family, she’d had to let that sweet habit go.

Still, sometimes Tom would pick a small flower for her, and it always made her day a little brighter.

The first real bouquet she’d gotten in a long time was a sunflower from Maya.

And now, this custom bouquet from Leighton was the second one.

She had enough money to buy her own flowers anytime she wanted.

But those two hard months living with the Knoxes had left her with no mood for little luxuries

like that.

She’d realized getting unexpected flowers felt way more special.

At her core, she still loved flowers just as much as before.

“You love it?” Leighton let her tug him along as they walked out of the flower shop.

“I love it so much!” Zora nodded fast, her face glowing with joy.

Once they got in the car, Zora passed out warm roasted nuts, baked sweet potatoes and hot cocoa to Noreen and Aaron up front.

She always made sure to buy extra treats for them.

She knew they’d be sticking around to protect her for a long time still.

The Knox family had basically fallen apart completely.

No one knew where Wayne had gone. Among the Knox brothers, Yale was sentenced to two years in prison and Anton one year. Wendy got a ten-year sentence, while Jolie received three

years.

Wayne had run off and was still nowhere to be found.

Leighton’s men had searched everywhere, but Wayne had vanished like thin air.

Zora never took the people who cared for her for granted.

She lived by one simple rule: if you’re good to her, she’ll be ten times better to you.

“Thank you, Ms. Hale.”

Noreen and Aaron first glanced at Leighton to check his mood, then reached out to take the snacks.

Aaron was driving, so Noreen held all the treats for both of them.

They were genuinely surprised that Zora had thought to get them something too.

Of course, they didn’t eat in the car. That wasn’t proper for them.

Leighton didn’t stop Zora at all.

Zora had such a pure, kind heart. She always saw the best in people and treated everyone with warmth.

Most people in this world only cared about their own benefits and played petty games with each other.

A sincere, good soul like hers was incredibly rare and precious.

Asher had spent more than ten years protecting her carefully to keep her this way.

Now that she was under their protection, their job was clear.

They’d let her grow step by step, keep her kind nature safe, and shield her from the dark side of the world as much as possible.

They’d let her learn tough lessons in safe, controlled ways, so hardships would make her stronger instead of holding her back.

They also needed to help her build the courage to protect herself.

That way, she’d never get hurt easily when trouble came her way.

Besides, people’s loyalty and trust were always earned through small, kind little gestures.

When you didn’t have great power or status, being humble and nice was the easiest way to win people over.

It made everything you wanted to accomplish so much simpler.

Winning people’s hearts was the hardest thing in the world to do.

But Zora had such a sweet face and bright, clear eyes.

When she looked at you, it was so easy to grow fond of her.

You’d naturally want to do anything you could to keep her happy and safe.

It had been exactly like that since the day they first met.

Once they got home, Zora rushed straight to her room with her flowers.

She pulled out her phone and took tons of photos from every single angle.
