Drama Novel
Chapter 3
Moss and Beck escorted a drenched Flora to stand before Condor
The moment she saw Connor, tears streamed down her face, and they mingled with the rain. “Connor.” she whispered, almost inaudibly, “you’re still alive…”
That was good,
He was still alive.
They were both still alive.
“I’m not dead, and you’re not pleased with that? Want to push me down again?”
That sentence reignited the fire of anger Connor had been barely holding back, bringing him to the verge of explosion. He grabbed a blanket and threw it over Flora, his voice harsh, “Moss, take her away now!”
Flora realized her mistake too late. Before Moss could drag her away, she threw herself in front of Connor, desperately apologizing. “Connor, I didn’t mean it! I came specifically to see you and to apologize, I know I made a mistake. I shouldn’t have pushed you down the stairs. I’m sorry…”
Now she was apologizing to him…
She always left him half–dead. When did she ever apologize? She was just pretending
Flora, I’m about to leave, and after that, I won’t bother you again, and you won’t have to put on this act with me.” Connor slowly closed his eyes. He didn’t want to see her again, worried that it would make him unable to leave.
“No, Connor, I don’t want you to go. Please, don’t leave, okay?” Flora grabbed his hand, looking at him anxiously.
Flora’s hand was ice cold and still wet, numbing Connor’s entire arm. She actually initiated contact
“You don’t want me to leave?” Connor’s expression was unreadable.
“Don’t go. I realize my mistake… Flora nodded, gripping his hand tighter. “I don’t want you to leave. I like you. Connor still stared at her, his gaze cold. “You don’t want me to leave?”
“You like me?”
“Mhm…”
Connor forcefully pulled his hand away, a mocking smile on his cold face. “Flora, do you even believe your own words?”
“I said, I’m leaving, and 111 be gone soon. I will no longer be in your way. You hate me and should be happy enough to laugh out loud.” He stared at Flora, slowly raising his hand to touch her cold, delicate face. “You come running to say this now. Do you think you haven’t played with me enough?”
“No-” Flora’s eyes widened.
“Aren’t you afraid that if your act fails, I really won’t leave?” Connor’s words grew colder his dark eyes intimidating. “I might stick with you for a lifetime-
The last word stuck in his throat as Connor felt warmth on his cheek. The chilling fear in his eyes suddenly disappeared, leaving only confusion and bewilderment Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Did she just kiss him?
She had lied before, but she had never kissed him.
What exactly do you want to do!
“Connor, I really didn’t lie to you.”
His gaze just now had shaken Flora, and in her desperation, she covered his mouth. “I know I’ve done many wrong things, and you might not believe me, but I’ve really realized my mistakes. Please don’t go, okay? Stay!”
“Sir, don’t believe her. This woman is full of lies! Beck hurriedly interjected, fearing Connor would fall for Flora’s lies
Moss also scrutinized Flora intensively Today, Ms. Flora still looked as unattractive as ever but strangely different
“Connor, please, don’t leave. Please, I can’t bear to see you go. I’ll treat you well. I like you.
“You think just a few words will make the master believe you?” Beck continued. “He won’t be fooled by you! We’ve packed everything-
“Okay.” Connor, finally spoke. His gaze was fixed on Flore
His left cheek was still wet. It’s where she had kissed him.
