"Mr. Connor, why didn't you say you were coming? I would have arranged everything in advance." "It was a last-minute decision. No need for special arrangements, just the usual will do, Connor said nonchalantly, holding Flora's wrist gently.
The manager escorted Connor to his private dining room, asking respectfully "Mr. Connor shall we prepare the usual dishes for you?" "Bring sspicy dishes, and sdesserts that girls generally love." Flora was taken aback upon hearing this. She loved spicy food, while Connor preferred lighter flavors.
In her past life, she had despised Connor and even caused him to be hospitalized after making him drink a pot of extremely spicy soup. Feeling a pang of guilt, Flom quickly said to the manager, "Please add slight-flavored dishes, with less spice and salt, and without garlic or cilantro.” Connor stared at Flora in astonishment, wondering how she knew his preferences.

As Connor remained silent, the manager took it as his approval and went to instruct the kitchen.
Soon, the dishes were served.
Flora placed the spicy dishes on her side and the lighter ones near Connot even pouring him smilk with affectionate care.
Moss and Beck frowned upon this scene. Although Flora had changed, the shadow of her past actions made them fear she might poison Connor.

Why was she now being so considerate? Unable to help herself, Flora stole glances at Connor, who had been staring at the dishes since they were served, lost in thought.

Connor felt his heart racing, almost leaping out of his chest. She actually remembered his preferences. This meant she truly cared about him Lost in his thoughts, he was suddenly presented with a peeled shrimp, held in Flors's expectant hands.
"I just tried this, and it's delicious. You should try it." Connor took the shrimp and the meticulously wiped Flora's hands clean before placing the shrimp plate in front of himself.

"That's good. You can throw the old one away. I've made you a new one, which should work even better. I give it to you next twe meet" Connor didn't respond, just continued peeling the shrimp. He would always keep anything given by Flora.
"Connor, you're really not cool, man. You chere and didn't even tell me." Just then, a boisterous male voice Interrupted the moment The man barged into the dining room.
