Chapter 36: Flora's Collar
“…… Yes, they say that Lance and you seem to have some falling out. ”
"I don't have anything to do with Lance, it's just that he misunderstood something, I made a friend on Dongyang Island, and Lance misunderstood my relationship with him."
"Is that so? That's good. The man was visibly relieved, and said, "Then I'll talk to Lance then." ”
"No, don't tell him." Flora said.
"Why? Don't you like Lance? Lance is a single-minded man, and although his abilities are weak, he works well, and the Mitchell family has developed well in recent years. He has a violent personality, but he is very gentle with you, and you will not suffer if you marry him. ”
Flora's brows furrowed even tighter, she knew that her father was right, marrying Mitchell was a very safe choice, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was the best ending for her, and the most important thing was that it didn't take much effort to take this path, as long as she opened her mouth, Lance would marry her.
But she doesn't want to get married, she wants to be free, and she wants the happiness of her family.
"Dad, I want to wait." Flora said.
"Okay...... But don't wait too long, if you wait too long, happiness will run away from your hands. I know you've been working hard, and you've worked so hard for so many years...... But people have limits, and sometimes recognizing their limits will make you happier...... Flora, you've done a great job. ”
“…… I could have done better. Flora was silent for a moment.
"You think about this matter yourself, I don't want to put pressure on you, I know it's hard for you. But your uncle and grandfather are very concerned about your marriage, and they want you to get married soon. You know, twenty years old is the best age for a woman. ”
"Laura, are you listening?" Men call her by her affectionate name.
“…… I'll take my chance. ”
"That's good." The man let out another sigh, "I secretly bought a cell phone for your mother, you can call her, and I'll send you the number later." ”
Hearing this, Flora's eyes suddenly lit up, her lips began to tremble, and she held back for a long time before she said, "Thank you, Dad!" ”
"It's okay, it's what I owe you." The man said in a very soft voice, and after saying that, he was quiet for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Okay, don't disturb your rest, hang up first." ”
"Hmm."
The call ended, and soon after, Flora received a string of numbers.
She couldn't wait to dial out.
After five seconds of busy talking, the phone was picked up on the other side: "Is it Lola?" ”
The other party's voice trembled a little.
Flora's tears flowed uncontrollably.
She cried silently, and at the same time greeted the other party in a normal tone: "Mom, are you doing well there?" ”
"We're doing well here, and Milo's health is much better, thanks to you."
"That's good, I'm doing well over here, everything is going well. I got to know a guy from the Bureau of Investigation, he was very strong, we became friends, and I was going to a party with him in a few days, and I should be able to get to know more people by then. ”
"Really? That's great! The woman's voice was filled with joy, and after a while she asked, "How are you and Lance doing?" ”
"Something happened a little, but it doesn't matter, I'll explain it to him in person later, mom, you don't have to worry."
"It's to explain clearly, Lance, he likes you for so many years, it's not easy."
"Well, I know. Let me hear Milo's voice, it's been a long time since I've heard him. Flora said.
She heard a rustling sound on the phone, and in the midst of coughing, a weak voice rang out: "Sister." ”
"Milo, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I've been... Ahem... I've always taken my medicine on time, and I've slept soundly lately, and I haven't woken up in the middle of the night for several days. ”
"That's good, they ...... Did they give you enough medicine? ”
"Enough, the same amount as before."
"Well, you should also take care of your body when I am away, don't be anxious, don't cause trouble to Dad, and if someone says bad things about you, don't take it to heart...... I can't go back after that, you have to learn to take care of yourself. ”
"Don't worry, I'm not a kid anymore, and I'm the same age as you...... Ahem! Ahem, ahem! ”
Flora frowned: "Don't talk about it, you have a good rest." ”
"Wait!"
Flora put the phone back into her ear: "What's wrong?" ”
"Sister, you have been working too hard all along, you should find your own happiness and rest."
"Why are you so numb all of a sudden, don't talk about it, I'm going to read a book, hang up."
With that, Flora ended the call.
The phone hung up, the only trace of tenderness on her face slowly faded, and her eyes were reapplied with a thin layer of frost.
