Chapter 124 Raul cheerfully agreed and let Connor take his place, as he dashed to the kitchen to prepare pork ribs for Flora. It was his daughter's special request, and he was determined to do it right.

It wasn't until Raul called them for dinner that Ray felt a weight lifted off his shoulders, hurrying to the dining room. Connor and Flora exchanged a look, their mutual prank on Ray sparking shared amusement.
During dinner, Raul asked Connor squestions, to which Connor always responded with humility and respect, offering deep insights.

He took off his jacket and hung it over a chair, rolled up his sleeves, and then said to Connor, "Connor, handyour apron." Henrik had to leave right after dinner to deal with sbusiness. Raul always took a el nap after lunch, and went upstairs to rest. After washing the dishes, Ray cout to find Connor sitting on the sofa with Flora lying across, her head resting on his lap. The sunlight at this twas perfect, casting a warm, dappled glow through the leaves onto the floor-to-ceiling windows. The expression on Connor's face was one of a tenderness rare for Ray to see, his eyes soft and filled with an indissoluble warmth.
Leaning against the door, Ray watched them and felt a sudden envy. He was happy for Connor's hard-won love and envied his long journey finally culminating in a happy union with Flora. And Ray himself? X
