NovelEnglishChapter 154 Ray and Aisha returned to their seats. Both Connor and Flora could acutely sense that something was off between them.
Aisha's top had cundone by two buttons, revealing the scented pouch around her neck-a gift from Flora. However, its fragrance had faded.
"Aisha, it seems like you like scented pouch too," Flora mentioned, pulling out a brand new scented pouch from her "Here, I'll give you this one. It's good for your health to wear it" Ray scoffed "ignorant. That's a pouch from Séraphine. You think your homemade trinket can compare? Aisha had recovered well. She seldom fell ill now. Aside from avoiding strenuous activities, she was nearly back to normal.
"Don't cbegging tolater, Flora retorted with a cold laugh Ray responded in kind, "Flora, if that day comes, Ill call you my grandma" The waiter brought out their food, mostly dishes Flora had ordered.
Spotting a plate of spicy crawfish, Flora exclaimed to Connor, "I want to eat crawfish!” Before she could continue, Connor had already put on his gloves. He smiled, picked up a crawfish, and patiently peeled it for her Flora ate each one he peeled. The scene was excessively sweet.

Flora thought Aisha was just scared and paid it no mind. When the man lunged at her, aiming for her eye, Flora dodged and grabbed his arm, twisting it harshly.
His arm bent at an unnatural angle, and he screamed in agony. The knife dropped to the ground, and he fell to his knees before Flora. Just then, Alsha, whom Flora had been holding onto, began to scream uncontrollably. "Ah!" She brake free from Flora's grip and dashed to a corner.
