Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life
Chapter 1060

"Hey, Mr. Raul, what are we grabbing to eat later?" Cecelia asked, feeling a bit restless.

"Feeling hungry?"

"Not really, just in the mood for some food."

Cecelia admitted, and just as she finished her sentence, she noticed Henrik placing a bag of cakes on her lap.

At first, she thought Henrik just wanted her to hold onto it carefully so it wouldn't spill, but then he said, "Let's snack on these for now."

"What?" Cecelia blinked in surprise. "Aren't these meant for the lady of the house?"

"We got two; there's a little one in there just for you."

Curious, Cecelia opened the bag and saw two cakes inside a four-inch mousse cake and a small mango mille-feuille. She was over the moon but couldn't help teasing, "But Mr. Raul, didn't you say as a female artist, keeping fit is top priority, and we're not supposed to eat this stuff?"

Henrik, still concentrating on the road, gave her a side glance. Cecelia heard him say, "For you, I can bend the rules."

Cecelia: "!!!"

...

Even after finishing their meal, Cecelia's heart was still racing. Once Henrik had safely dropped her off at home, he headed back to the Irving family estate.

Flora had just returned from dinner with Connor, and they bumped into each other at the entrance.

"Hey, big bro."

Flora smiled, linking her arm through his, catching a whiff of his cologne and immediately putting two and two together.

Oh, he went on a date.

She'd heard about the drama with Liam and realized her brother had quite the assertive side.

"I got you a cake, want to have it now?" Henrik asked while unlocking the door.

"I'm not hungry at the moment, but I am parched. I could go for some freshly squeezed orange juice," Flora replied, grinning.

Henrik nodded, gesturing for Flora to sit down, and headed to the kitchen after shrugging off his coat to make some orange juice for her. Concerned it might be too cold for her stomach, he even warmed it a little. "Ding"

His phone buzzed.

He picked it up, scanned the message, and his expression grew tense.

Liam Peyton's been kidnapped and is missing?

Liam was just a regular guy from the countryside with no big connections. Who would want to kidnap him?

Even the folks he had on the lookout underestimated the situation, which allowed this to happen. His main worry was that they might be

Weting Cecelia.

He quickly sent a message.

-Keep your eyes peeled, let me know the instant there's news.

After sending the text, he brought out the warmed orange juice to Flora, his eyes softening.

The next day.

At the airport.

Mr. Richard and Flora, along with the deputy dean from the University of Maple Grove Medical School, were waiting at the exit.

Mr. Richard was a huge fan of Kruiz, and the thought of meeting him soon had him all fired up.

Flora, on the other hand, seemed pretty unfazed, even a tad sleepy from the wait.

As they were waiting, Mr. Richard chatted with Flora, "I heard Kruizas bringing along some students from the medical base this time. Flora, you should definitely get to know them."

Mr. Richard had her best interests in mind. After the New Year, Flora was heading to the medical base, and he thought it would be good for her to make some connections, thinking she might not have much clout there. But he knew if anyone dared to mess with her, Austenberg would have her back.

Flora nodded lazily.

"Mr. Richard, the folks from the medical base are here!" a teacher suddenly called out excitedly.

Mr. Richard quickly turned his attention to the exit, eager to introduce Kruiz to Flora and help her make some connections.
