Chapter 57


    After their split Flora made a beeline for the Stonnell residence. She furiously rang the doorbell.


    The butler, surprised to see her, opened the door “Ms. Flora”


    “Is Connor in?”


    “He’s in his room upstairs.” The butler hesitated before adding, “Connor just came back from an


    errand and has been in a foul mood


    ever since”


    In a foul mood?


    Flora raised on eyebrow and ascended the stairs.


    At Connor’s door, she encountered Moss and Beck. Their expressions changed upon seeing her.


    What was she doing here? This was adding fuel to the fire. Ever since Connor returned, he had


    locked himself in his room and hadn’t


    Their nces made Flora feel puzzled. She thought to herself. “Why are they all looking at me like


    that?”


    “Is Connor inside?” She asked in a hushed tone.


    Beck ignored her, but Moss nodded with a tight face.


    Remembering what the butler said about Connor being in a bad mood, she lowered her voice even


    more and asked, “He is in a bad mood today?”

    “Pretending to be ignorant? It’s all because of you.” Beck, already on edge, exploded at this


    remark.


    Flora’s frown deepened, and she knocked on the door.


    “Go away” A cold voice emanated from inside


    Flora couldn’t help but shiver. Connor was indeed angry


    She pushed the door open and entered.


    The door was unlocked; no one ever dared to enter without Connor’s permission. Ray was one


    exception. She was another


    Beck hurriedly tried to stop her, but Moss grabbed his hand and pulled him back.


    “Better to let Ms. Flora in to clear things up than to let Mr. Connor suffer alone.”


    “She clear things up? She’s always rubbing salt in the wound. It’s only because Mr. Connor dates


    on her and can’t bear to part with her.”


    Beck still harbored resentment from past incidents.


    Moss remained silent, his intuition telling him that Ms. Flora had changed. Only she could soothe


    Connor’s mood,


    The room was dimly lit Upon entering, Flora was hit by a strong smell of tobo.


    Connor had been smoking Clearly, he was in a very bad mood.


    Her footsteps were light, but in the silent room, they sounded conspicuously loud.


    Connor’s already aching head throbbed even more “Get out.


    Who had the audacity toe in without permission?


    “Do you really want me to leave?”


    Behind him, the pleasant voice of a young woman rose, carrying a light fragrance that assaulted


    Connor’s senses.


    His rigid body began to numb.


    He turned and saw Flora approaching him step by step. His eyes reddened instantly.


    His swollen eyes made Flora pause. Things seemed serious.


    “Connor, you look scary when you’re angry Flora approached him, ncing at the full ashtray


    beside him, “The room stinks. What’s the matter? Can you talk to me?”


    Talk to her…


    “Why did you lie to me?”


    “Huh?” Flora didn’t catch on immediately, responding in confusion.


    Her expression, in Connor’s eyes, seemed like she couldn’te up with an answer, attempting to


    continue the deceit.


    10:30


    apter


    The anger he had been suppressing surged. Images of Flora and Rafael being intimate reyed in


    his mind.


    He lost all reason.


    He grabbed Flora’s wrist tightly, pulling her down and pushing her onto the couch. His broad body


    pressed against hers. His breath was frantic and almost mad.


    “Flora, do you not want me anymore?”


    Connor, whomanded Cedarvale, appeared like a vulnerable boy at that moment, his eyes


    welling up.


    His voice choked. “Now that I’m healed, you want to leave me. Is that it? All the kindness of these


    days, was it justpensation?
