Chapter 7
Back in her room, Flora hurriedly changed her clothes and soaked herself in a hot bath
Looking at her reflection, she gasped in shock.
The girl in the mirror had a messy head of blond hair, and her f
her face
was a patchwork of black, red, blue, and purple.
Flora almost scared herself when she looked up. The thought that she had kissed Connor, looking like this, made her mouth twitch.
It was a testament to true love that Connor hadn’t kicked her out on the spot.
Unable to stand the sight, Flora quickly cleaned herself up. The messy hair was beyond saving, so she tied it into a little topknot on her head.
After removing several layers of makeup, her glowing and radiant skin was revealed. Her cheeks were as delicate as the freshest petals, and her long, thick eyelashes were dotted with water droplets. With a gentle blink, it was as if the entire galaxy appeared in her eyes. Flora was quite pleased with her current appearance and inwardly scored herself for listening to Carina and dressing up like some punk rocker.
As Henrik knocked and stepped in, he was met with the sight of a young girl clad in a white nightgown. Her face was fresh, revealing
a her striking, vibrant features.
A flash of surprise crossed his eyes as he walked over and handed Flora a new smartphone. “Ive replaced your SIM card for you. It’s already inside.”
“Thank you!”
Flora was incredibly moved, receiving the phone as if it were a royal decree
Henrik smiled and lightly tapped her on the forehead, it’s getting late. Get some good rest”
“Wait, Henrik! Can you help me fix this mess on my head?”
Hennik was a master of styling in the entertainment industry, sought after by many celebrities for his expertise. Flora was at her wit’s end with her blond mess. She didn’t want to keep looking like this!
“What do you have in mind?” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“Just make it look normal and pretty!”
Henrik chuckled and tugged at the little topknot on her head. “My sister, you always look beautiful no matter what”
After
er p hot bath that warmed her through, combined with Canna’s departure, Flom felt relaxed and slept soundly.
Text moming, she got ready and went to find Connor Her hair was still a mess, so Flora wore a mask and a hat.
Just as she was leaving the villa to hail a cab, someone stepped out from the side. “Flora!”
Flora stopped dead in her tracks. Under the mask, her lips quivered.
Aaron… What a coincidence.
Not far away, a bodyguard snapped a photo of the two and sent it to Connor. His job was to monitor whom Flora met up with
Aaron strode up to Flora, looking down at her with suspicion. Why did she wear a mask today?
Gone were the garish makeup and colors, revealing eyes as deep and mesmerizing as the cosmos itself, unintentionally captivating.
He quickly snapped out of it. Aaron, how could you be so enchanted by this ugly duckling? You’re here to seek justice for your lady:
This ugly girl couldn’t compare to Carina in the slightest.
He composed himself and began to scold. “Flora, Carina has always had your best interests at heart. How could you hurt her and drive her out of the Irving family home? When did you become so heartless?”
Flora took a moment to regain her composure before looking up at him.
Aaron still had a youthful look, but his eyes were filled with scom. She regretted ever falling for him.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Aaron continued to chew her out “Go apologize to Carina right now, and I might consider forgiving you and taking you out for a meal.”
His disdain for Flora only grew after thinking of how Carina was distressed and crying the night before
Flora continued to stare at him silently, her gaze unsettling.
In the villa, Connor sat on the bed, silently gazing out the window.
Dawn was breaking, the sky a dim gray
He couldn’t shake off Flom’s words from yesterday. She said she liked him and begged him not to leave her.
He knew her motives weren’t pure, yet he still yearned for her
Flora said she would visit him again today. He hoped she would keep her word.
“Get me a change of clothes,” he said quietly to Moss and Beck after a moment..
Flora would be arriving soon, and he needed to present himself well. He couldn’t see her in this disheveled state.
