Chapter 1155
Flora had really overdone it with her eating today, and now she was nursing a bit of a tummy ache. Connor
pulled her close, gently rubbing her belly. "Feeling any better?" he asked softly.
"Yeah, a bit."
Connor kept massaging her abdomen patiently until she seemed to feel more at ease, and then he subtly moved
his hand away. Flora heard srustling behind her, as if Connor was searching for something in his pocket.
A moment later, her fingers brushed against something cold. Under the moonlight, she realized it was a ring,
sparkling brilliantly.
"What are you up to?" Flora raised an eyebrow, slowly pulling her hand back. "I'm not wearing that."
"If you don't take my ring, whose will you?" Connor teased, giving her waist a playful pinch.

Flora huffed, "People usually exchange rings at weddings. You haven't even givena wedding, and you're
trying to lockdown with a ring?"
"Sorry, | just can't wait," Connor admitted, wishing he could whisk Flora away and marry her right then and
there.
He got up from the bed and knelt on one knee, holding the ring out to her.
Flora propped her chin and smiled at him.
"Ms. Flora, my princess," he said gently, "Will you be with me? Letbind us with this ring, take my last name,
be my wife, and grow old with me."
These were words meant for a
wedding. But he was saying them now, hoping to ease his own insecurities. She was just too charming, and he
felt he wasn't quite good enough. Without marrying her, he couldn't feel secure. If they were in Austenberg, he'd
already be dragging her to get a marriage license, selfishly tying her to him for life.
Flora chuckled softly, rolling around on the bed. "My stomach's still a bit upset. Rub it smore, and maybe I'll
feel better and wear it."
Hearing she was still uncomfortable, Connor focused on massaging her stomach again. She really had eaten too
much of the wrong stuff, no wonder she felt bad. While he was busy, Flora casually picked up the ring and
slipped it onto her own finger. The guy's taste wasn't bad-it looked pretty nice.
"Flora..." Connor murmured, his
voice thick with emotion. His gaze
ooo
was intense as he continued to rub her belly his other hand gently holding her ring-adorned finger, He bent
down, pressing a kiss to her fingertips, his voice husky and filled with longing. "My Flora, a beauty like no other."
Flora giggled, turning to hug him, her voice playful and sweet. "Hey, don't just focus on my stomach, rub some
other spots too."

Other spots...
Connor's eyes roamed over her slowly, feeling an unexpected thirst, and he quickly reined himself in.
"Connor, | want more-" Flora teased, snuggling into his arms and playfully nudging his leg with her foot, her toes
tracing light circles on his skin.
Being a young man full of life,
Connor found it hard to resist her teasing He felt a warm rush rising within him and took a deep breath, lowering
his voice, "Hang tight, I'll just grab a quick shower."
With that, he slipped out of bed and headed for the bathroom.
Flora watched the bathroom door, listening to the sound of running water, and lit a scented candle on the
nightstand.
About ten minutes later, Connor emerged. His strong upper body bare, showing off his V-line and nearly perfect
physique, with a towel wrapped around his waist, he strode towards her with confidence.
