Chapter 51


    Connor didn’t say a word. He didn’t even nce at Wade but instead took a big step and walked


    into the room. Flora and Ray als walked in without looking sideways.


    Wade, having been tantly ignored repeatedly, had eyes smoldering with anger.


    He could pt Conner’s disdain, but Ray was an outcast. What gave him the right to look down on


    them too?


    In a fit of rage, Ware let loose without restraint. Harsh words followed one after another


    “Wade, do you think Mr. Connor is too easy–going?” Those lowly remarks made Moss and Beck’s


    face tum sour.


    Wade should feel lucky he’s from the Brimer family, as those words alone could have cost him


    dearly.


    “Wade… Yvonne tugged at Wade’s sleeve, showing a timid look unlike her usual bratty self.


    They knew Connor wasn’t easy–going: Wade had nearly been crippled by him before,


    Moss‘ words were like a bucket of cold water, cooling Wade downpletely, even making him a


    bit scared. He stiffened his face and fell silent


    aling Aisha


    Inside the room, Flora was still treating


    Ray, with a heart full of unease, stood by, waiting. After a while, he couldn’t help but ask,


    “Séraphine, how is she really?”


    “There’s no major issue. Rx” Flora spoke lightly. “Ill give you an addresster. Just send what I


    asked you to buy there, and ile back the day after tomorrow to check on her. Now, I need to


    leave.”


    “Séraphine, I have everything here. Whatever you need, I can have someone fetch it immediately.


    Can you please stay for a bit longer?”


    Ray was still womed. Aisha was not yet awake. If Flora left and something unexpected happened,


    what then?


    “Are you trying to keep me here?” Flora, helping Aisha to lie back down, replied indifferently upon


    hearing Ray’s words.


    “You’re overthinking it. I didn’t mean that. It’s just, with you here, in case of any emergency-”

    “As long as you keep those people outside from causing any trouble, there won’t be any


    emergencies. Flora interrupted him sharply.


    Ray couldn’t help but frown. Why was this person so sarcastic with him, yet seemed quite amiable


    with Connor?


    Ray was indecisive, worried about offending Séraphine yet also reluctant to let her leave.


    “Aisha hasn’t woken up yet. Maybe you could leave after she wakes?”


    “If you didn’t trust me, you shouldn’t have asked me toe here in the first ce.”


    Ray fall silent. Had he offended Connor somehow? Why did it seem like she had a grudge against


    him?


    He looked at Connor, signaling him to say something


    Connor nced at Flora and said to him, “You stay here and take care of Aisha. Il take Séraphine


    home.”


    “It’s okay, I can go back on my own.”


    Flora’s heart skipped a beat. Why


    did Connor want to take her back? Was it because she had shown a w?


    “It’s gettingte, and it’s hard to get a cab here. Let me drive you.”


    Connor was insistent, and after a moment’s hesitation, Flora agreed. She had her secrets to keep


    and didn’t want to react too obviously. afraid Connor might notice something off.


    When Flora obediently followed Connor out, Ray was even more puzzled. Why


    y was she so nice to Connor, yet so mean to him?


    In the car, Flora casually gave an address, keeping her eyes forward, not speaking.


    Connor, a man of few words himself, naturally didn’t initiate conversation.


    The ride was unusually quiet.


    “Well, just stop here, please. I can walk the rest of the way”


    “Here?” Connor looked at her through the rearview mirror, quessing she didn’t want to reveal where


    she was going. He didn’t say anything more and pulled over


    Flora got out of the back seat. “Thank you.”


    “You’re wee. You went to the Brimer family to heal Alsha. It’s only right for me to take you


    back.”


    Flora raised an eyebrow. Although she knew Connor only saw Aisha as a sister, hearing Aisha’s


    name from his mouth repeatedly sparked a teasing thought in her mind.


    Ha Mr. Connor this nice to everyone? You are not only nice to me, but also to that Aisha. Aren’t you


    afraid your girlfriend at home might

    get jealous?”


    “She’s not my girlfriend. She’s my fiancée. Connor corrected her seriously, “Besides, you can’t


    compare the two.”


    Alsha was his friend.


    As for Séraphine…


    He wasn’t sure why, but if it were anyone else, he would have had Moss and Beck take her home.


    Today, however, he chose to do it himself. Perhaps because he saw a glimpse of Flora in her.


    Flora chuckled and didn’t tease him further. “Goodbye, Mr. Connor.” She waved and walked away


    briskly. Soon, she disappeared into the crowd.


    Connor didn’t have anyone follow her. Someone of her stature wouldn’t want their privacy intruded


    upon. Séraphine was well–known in the world of perfumery. He wash’t worried she’d pull any tricks
