He said to Moss, Tell Beck not to pack up anymore. We're not leaving" Beck had just cupstairs to hear this after packing up half of their stuff. He was puzzled. "What?" Did all that packing go to waste? Half an hour later, Flora arrived at the villa. The bodyguards didn't stop her this time, and she entered without any hindrance.
'Connor!" She opened the door and greeted him with a radiant smile. Her mask was already removed, revealing her stunningly beautiful features.

"Have you been waiting long?" Flora asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Not at all," Connor replied, avoiding her gaze as if indifferent Moss and Beck could hardly stand it. Not at all? Yeah right.

"Connor, you misunderstood..." Flora realized and explained with a mix of helplessness and exasperation. I'm not leaving you. I have something to do tomorrow, so I can't come.

"By the way, Connor, I brought you a gift!" Flora took out a sachet from her pocket. I know you often have trouble steeping. This is at blend I made myself, filled with various herbs. Wearing it can help you sleep better. I was rushed, so it's a bit rough." The sachet, previously used by Flora, was a bit old. The pink fabric was embroidered with the narne Flora.
A faint herbal scent mixed with a subtle touch of jasmine was released from the sachet. It was a fascinating En aroma that seemed to calm the soul.
