Chapter 1262
She wasn't just any girl; she was Connor's sweetheart! With a playful grin, after dinner, Flora headed back to her
room and, just as she guessed, there was Connor sitting at her bedside. "Connor!" She darted in and flung
herself into his arms. Connor caught her effortlessly, ruffling her hair with affection.
"Connor, | need to visit the training field tomorrow," Flora mentioned, bringing up her plan to meet Jacob Carly.
Connor nodded, "Alright then, how about we make tomorrow a day off for training? An open day where parents
can cvisit their kids outside the training grounds. Mae could use the chance to see her child too."
"But aren't we in a closed training period?" Flora questioned. Connor paused, his eyes soft and tender like
morning mist, "You, my dear, are always the exception."
The Gilbert family truly treated Flora well, and he was happy to grant their wish. "Hey, have you been enjoying
too many snacks lately?" Connor teased, gently pinching the soft part of her waist, "Feels like you've put on a
little weight."
"Are you callingfat?" Flora shot up, hands on her hips, glaring at Connor in mock outrage, "You! Called! Me!
Fat!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConnor stumbled, "I...did not."
"You totally did, and you said it loud and clear!" Flora accused.
Connor tried again, "I really didn't."
Flora wasn't letting it go, "You did, | heard it with both ears!"
Seeing she might be upset, Connor quickly backtracked, "I just meant you've filled out a bit more, not that you're
fat. More like you've got a bit extra around the waist..."
He was practically tripping over his own words. "So, you are saying I've gotten fat!" Flora insisted, arms still
defiantly crossed, "Oh, | see how it is. When couples are together too long, feelings fade. You don't love me
anymore, right? You're fed up with me, huh?" Before she could finish, Connor silenced her with a kiss. With one
swift motion, he pulled her closer, wrapping her in his embrace, and sealed her words with his lips. His breathing
was a bit rushed, a bit frantic.
When a girl's mad, don't bother with logic or arguments-just kiss her! Flora's eyes twinkled as she wrapped her
arms around his neck, turning the tables to her advantage. Teasing Connor was always entertaining~
The news of the Enforcement
Division's open day spread like wildfire among the noble families. Heads of families were abuzz with speculation.
Usually, assessments for noble children were strictly private; no one saw them until the very end.
What was different this time? The family heads were uneasy, sensing that something unusual was surely a test
from the Enforcement Division. It had to be!
"Honey, I've packed so many goodies for our son! He probably doesn't get to eat well at the training field. Today,
I'll make sure he's well-fed!"
"Don't take anything! You can't!" Just
as she was about to step out with a hefty bag, her husband stopped her "Can't you tell this is a test from the
Enforcement Division? When we' meet our son, they'll definitely be watching us. If we sneak him treats and they
catch us, it'll reflect poorly."
"We need to pass this test, understand?" She nodded, bewildered but compliant.
That was the prevailing thought among all the noble families. The sudden open day was undoubtedly a
challenge, and they needed to stay

Over with the Gilberts, Mae was thrilled about the open day and didn't share these worries. She packed a sack
full of food, clothes, and essentials, ready to give Jacob Carly a bit of comfort.
Meanwhile, at the training field, in the office, Hawthorn knocked and entered. "Captain, you wanted to see me?"
Kenneth, sitting behind his desk, looked up. "Shut the door."
Hawthorn did as told, puzzled about why Kenneth had called him in. "How's your team behaving?" Kenneth
asked, casually flipping through sdocuments.
"They're pretty good, all follow orders well," Hawthorn replied with a nod.
