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

Flora:

Nathan: "......"

......

"Ms. Flora, I'm really sorry, I honestly didn't know you were the important person my granddad was talking about. And you're so young, too. So, I—"

He couldn't finish. It was just too humiliating.

Once the first person started, the others followed suit, handing over their gifts.

Flora glanced at the massage chair, health supplements for seniors, orthopedic insoles, a fancy teacup, and a blood pressure monitor, lost in thought for a moment.

Nathan hid his face in his hands, feeling utterly embarrassed for himself.

"Ms. Flora,"

Jaden stepped forward, offering Flora a gift box, his voice a bit shaky: "About that misunderstanding we had at the underground market, I hope you won't hold it against me. This piece of jade is supposed to help with relaxation and sleep. If you don't need it, maybe someone older in your family could use it."

Flora didn't say anything. She just leaned on the table, resting her chin on her hand, and looked at him.

She didn't reach out to take it.

The other heirs exchanged puzzled looks. What was going on? From Jaden's words, could it be that he had offended Ms. Flora?

"Ms. Flora..."

Jaden's hand hung awkwardly in the air, his polite smile starting to falter.

"Take your gift back."

Flora finally spoke, her voice calm and steady: "You, leave."Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Jaden's grip on the gift tightened, and he instinctively glanced at Nathan.

Nathan wasn't looking back at him.

He already knew the full story and was pretty disappointed in Jaden.

All for Candace, to bad-mouth a young girl in front of so many people. The other heirs looked around, not daring to say a word.

"Ms. Flora there really is some Standing between us, we

about this later," Jaden said, taking a deep breath. "Is it really fair to kick me out now?"

"Fair?" Flora's eyes narrowed slightly, a faint smile on her lips, her tonez light and deliberate: "Sorry, but have a long memory for things like this. Unfortunately for you, you've crossed me."

"Grandfather!" Jaden quickly turned to Nathan.

"Didn't you hear her telling you to leave?" Nathan glared at him, clearly annoyed: "I've told you before, that woman will be your downfall." "Grandfather, I-"

"Do I need to have someone show you the door?" Nathan was set on teaching Jaden a lesson.

Jaden was mortified, his lips trembling, but he couldn't find the words and hurried out.

The other heirs thought about pleading for Jaden, but a sharp look from Nathan silenced them.

They had all assumed Jaden was a shoo-in for the future heir of the Neville family, but who could've guessed he'd manage to offend Flora? "What did you bring as a gift?"

Nathan turned to the young man in sportswear. Everyone else had given their gifts except for him.

The young man scratched his nose; he hadn't brought anything, but he didn't dare admit it, afraid Nathan would give him a hard time.

After a moment of thought, he pulled a handful of candies from his pocket, spreading them out in his hand for Flora: "Ms. Flora, want some?" Nathan: "......"

If Flora weren't here, he'd probably have given the kid a good whack!

Sure, the others might've gotten the gifts wrong, but at least they tried. This kid was just too laid-back!

Flora glanced at the candy, spotting.

As the sweetness spread, Flora remarked cheerfully: "Not bad."

Nathan gave the young man another look.
