Chapter 7


    Back in her room, Flora hurriedly changed her clothes and soaked herself in a hot bath


    Looking at her reflection, she gasped in shock.


    The girl in the mirror had a messy head of blond hair, and her f


    her face


    was a patchwork of ck, red, blue, and purple.


    Flora almost scared herself when she looked up. The thought that she had kissed Connor, looking


    like this, made her mouth twitch.


    It was a testament to true love that Connor hadn’t kicked her out on the spot.


    Unable to stand the sight, Flora quickly cleaned herself up. The messy hair was beyond saving, so


    she tied it into a little topknot on her head.


    After removing severalyers of makeup, her glowing and radiant skin was revealed. Her cheeks


    were as delicate as the freshest petals, and her long, thick eyshes were dotted with water


    droplets. With a gentle blink, it was as if the entire gxy appeared in her eyes. Flora was quite


    pleased with her current appearance and inwardly scored herself for listening to Carina and


    dressing up like some punk rocker.


    As Henrik knocked and stepped in, he was met with the sight of a young girl d in a white


    nightgown. Her face was fresh, revealing


    a her striking, vibrant features.


    A sh of surprise crossed his eyes as he walked over and handed Flora a new smartphone. “Ive


    reced your SIM card for you. It’s already inside.”


    “Thank you!”


    Flora was incredibly moved, receiving the phone as if it were a royal decree


    Henrik smiled and lightly tapped her on the forehead, it’s gettingte. Get some good rest”


    “Wait, Henrik! Can you help me fix this mess on my head?”


    Hennik was a master of styling in the entertainment industry, sought after by many celebrities for his


    expertise. Flora was at her wit’s end with her blond mess. She didn’t want to keep looking like this!


    “What do you have in mind?”


    “Just make it look normal and pretty!”


    Henrik chuckled and tugged at the little topknot on her head. “My sister, you always look beautiful


    no matter what”


    After


    er p hot bath that warmed her through,bined with Canna’s departure, Flom felt rxed and


    slept soundly.


    Text moming, she got ready and went to find Connor Her hair was still a mess, so Flora wore a


    mask and a hat.


    Just as she was leaving the vi to hail a cab, someone stepped out from the side. “Flora!”


    Flora stopped dead in her tracks. Under the mask, her lips quivered.


    Aaron… What a coincidence.


    Not far away, a bodyguard snapped a photo of the two and sent it to Connor. His job was to monitor


    whom Flora met up with


    Aaron strode up to Flora, looking down at her with suspicion. Why did she wear a mask today?


    Gone were the garish makeup and colors, revealing eyes as deep and mesmerizing as the cosmos


    itself, unintentionally captivating.


    He quickly snapped out of it. Aaron, how could you be so enchanted by this ugly duckling? You’re


    here to seek justice for yourdy:


    This ugly girl couldn’tpare to Carina in the slightest.


    Heposed himself and began to scold. “Flora, Carina has always had your best interests at


    heart. How could you hurt her and drive her out of the Irving family home? When did you be so


    heartless?”


    Flora took a moment to regain herposure before looking up at him.


    Aaron still had a youthful look, but his eyes were filled with . She regretted ever falling for him.


    “Why aren’t you saying anything?” Aaron continued to chew her out “Go apologize to Carina right


    now, and I might consider forgiving you and taking you out for a meal.”


    His disdain for Flora only grew after thinking of how Carina was distressed and crying the night


    before


    Flora continued to stare at him silently, her gaze unsettling.


    In the vi, Connor sat on the bed, silently gazing out the window.


    Dawn was breaking, the sky a dim gray


    He couldn’t shake off Flom’s words from yesterday. She said she liked him and begged him not to


    leave her.


    He knew her motives weren’t pure, yet he still yearned for her

    Flora said she would visit him again today. He hoped she would keep her word.


    “Get me a change of clothes,” he said quietly to Moss and Beck after a moment..


    Flora would be arriving soon, and he needed to present himself well. He couldn’t see her in this


    disheveled state.
