Chapter 173


    Connor also chuckled, hisrge hand patting Flora’s small head affectionately, but when he turned


    to Chelsea, the smile and affection disappeared from his face.


    “I’ve heard, Chelsea, that you have quite the opinion about my employees, and even my fiancée.”


    “No, that’s not-”


    Chelsea was terrified. In front of Connor, all her arrogance vanished.


    “In that case, the partnership between yourpany and Stonnell International will end here.”


    Chelsea was shocked. She hadn’t expected Connor to terminate their coboration over such a


    trivial matter. “Mr. Connor, you must know that among allpanies, ours can offer the most


    benefits to Stonnell International. And we were about to finalize everything. Terminating the


    partnership now would mean all our efforts have been in vain.”


    She tried to sound calm, but cold sweat was dripping down her back. If her father found out she had


    messed up the partnership, he would be furious.


    Connor ignored her, tuming to Moss, “Moss, find the contract and notify Mr. Gordrik that the


    agreement is hereby terminated.” “Yes.”


    As Moss was about to follow Connor’s instructions, Chelsea hurriedly stopped him. “Mr. Connor, I


    admit I made a mistake earlier I can apologize to you, but is it really necessary to go as far as


    terminating the contract?”


    She couldn’t understand. She had caused trouble at Stonnell International before, but Connor had


    always ignored her. Yet today, he was willing to terminate the contract


    “You made my fiancée unhappy.” Connor’s voice wasn’t loud, but everyone heard it clearly.


    Because she upset his fiancée, he’s terminating the contract. No matter how lucrative the contract


    was, it’s not as important as his fiancée.


    The employees were touched, witnessing a mature man’s unconditional love.


    Chelsea was so angry she pointed at Connor and Flora for a long time, unable to utter a single


    word


    Moss couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. Flora was Connor’s world. Bullying Flora in Connor’s


    company was asking for trouble.


    Eventually, Chelsea staggered off, and as she left, she tripped and nearly fell, almost revealing too


    much.


    Connor took Flora back to the office.

    Flora served Connor chicken soup, which had been kept warm in a thermos. It was


    eating.


    Connor pulled Flora onto hisp, holding her wrist and examining the bandage on her hand. “Does


    it still hurt?”


    “A bit, and sometimes it’s a bit itchy.”


    “Don’t scratch it.”


    “Okay”


    Connor leaned over to open the cab under the desk, taking out a first aid kit and cing it on the


    table. He unwrapped Flora’s bandage, disinfected the wound, applied medicine, and rebandaged it


    Despite Connor’s self–control, he was, after all, a normal man. The girl’s slender legs were pressed


    against his. Her pleated skirt had ridden up slightly, revealing her ck shorts undemeath.


    He sighed, adjusting her skirt properly. “I’ve told you before, you can’t wear skirts this short


    anymore.”


    She was too young for him, and he didn’t want to take advantage of her, but it was bing


    increasingly difficult to restrain himself, “I know.” Flora smiled, handing him the now–cooled chicken


    soup. “Drink up, a
