Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life
Chapter 692

"Hey, bro..."

"You've been crashing here for five days now. The Falcone family sent word. You either head back on your own, or they're sending someone to fetch you."

Kruz's shoulders slumped, his energy draining away. "I get it," he muttered.

Gone was his usual lively spirit. He trudged back to his room, dragging his feet as he packed his things.

Flora watched him leave, clicking her tongue in sympathy. "Poor guy," she thought.

"It's getting late. Time for a bath and bed," Connor announced, standing up and pulling Flora to her feet.

Flora obediently followed him, a stark contrast to her fierce demeanor during the day.

...

The next morning, after breakfast, Beck drove Kruz to the station.

"Flora, I'm heading out. Don't forget about me, okay? Make sure you reply to my messages!" Kruz said, his voice heavy with sadness. His biggest takeaway from this trip to Austenberg was meeting Flora. Leaving her was the hardest part.

"Yeah, yeah," Flora responded lazily, thinking he was being overly dramatic.

"Flora, if you ever get the chance, come visit me on Lone Island."

Kruz couldn't stand the thought of parting from Flora, and he knew Connor would never bring her to Lone Island.

Wait a sec...

Isn't there a medical competition coming up on Lone Island soon?

Flora would definitely be there!

Realizing this, Kruz's sadness melted away, replaced by a spark of excitement.

Flora's racing skills were off the charts, rivaling the best professionals. Her control over the race was so good, she could outmatch any navigator.

Hehe...

When Flora got to Lone Island, he'd have her as his navigator. Together, they'd dominate the island!

This would shut up everyone who ever doubted his racing skills!

Unaware of his thoughts, Flora just felt a shiver seeing his creepy smile.

"Flora, I'm really leaving now."

Kruz didn't want to go, but Connor's glare was practically piercing him. If he didn't leave now, who knows what would happen!

He walked away, looking back every few steps, with Moss trailing behind him, carrying his luggage.

Once in the car, Kruz got a call.

"Hey, you big doofus, are you back yet? Mom says if she doesn't see you tonight, she's sending someone to drag you back and lock you up!" Hearing 'big doofus', Kruz scowled. "Ethan, I'm your brother."

"You were born just a minute before me!"

"Still counts. Plus, I made a great catch this time."

"What catch?"

"I met Flora! She's not just a pretty face, she's a total badass! She can knock out grown men with one

punch. And her racing skills... yamet

I

should see her. I can't explain it all over the phone, I'll tell you back."

Shen I get

Ethan sounded unconvinced. "An Austenberg woman, what's so special about that? Kruz, have you lost your mind? You used to call her a 'bad woman', and now it's Flora this, Flora that! She doesn't deserve that name!"

He had seen her on his brother's social media, always so fake!

Posting sugary sweet stuff a net

clinging to his brother like a vine, zero self-respect!

Kruz sighed. "I was wrong about her. Once you meet her, you'll like her too." Ethan scoffed. "No way, I can't stand those women who act all meek and delicate!"
