The red haired she-wolf fell to her knees immediately upon seeing Owen, trembling all over. “I… I was wrong!”
Sylvia’s POV
Owen promptly ordered someone to drag the red-haired maid away without hesitation. The rest of the maids were scared and all fell to their knees to apologize.
Owen was so annoyed that he waved his hand and reassigned them to work in a pig farm in the suburb.
I didn’t know how much Owen had heard, but judging from his angry face, I could tell that he must have heard a lot.
After the maids were sent away, I turned to him and said, “The maids were lying. Flora might be a little eccentric, but she’s not a bad person.”
I wanted to speak for Flora, but surprisingly, Owen interrupted me.
“I know what you’re trying to say, but you don’t have to worry. I’m actually fond of that girl, and I’m glad that Warren has her in his life. She’s like a beam of sunshine in his life, bringing him warmth and happiness. If it weren’t for her, Warren would probably be very depressed now. After all, what with Leonard’s sudden death and the murderer being Alina… All these things are a big blow to him.”
I could understand where Warren was coming from. Leonard was one of the most important influences in Warren’s life, being his life mentor and second father. Warren grew up together with Alina and he used to have a crush on her. Although he later stopped loving her romantically and just saw her as his sister, he still cared about her a lot.
No one would’ve thought that Alina would kill her own father.
It was ridiculous and Warren just lost two important people in his life all at once.
“If you have time, please hang out with Flora more. She has been very bored recently.” Owen smiled like a very easy-going man, very different from who he was before.
I still remembered that when I first saw Owen, he was still a serious middle-aged werewolf. Flora was so frightened by his grim face that she didn’t even dare date Warren.
But now Owen was no longer as tense as he was before. He didn’t seem to care about many things that were taboo before. And this change was brought by the death of Leonard.
“I can visit her now,” I offered.
Owen nodded and asked someone to lead me to Flora’s house, saying that he would follow later.
Flora and Warren lived in one of the manors, but there were no roses there. Instead, there were many fruit trees. It seemed that Warren had planted them for Flora, because Flora was fond of eating fruits.
I walked through the grove and entered the hall, only to find Warren busy feeding Flora.
I walked through the grove and entered the hall, only to find Warren busy feeding Flora.
Flora didn’t look well, which could’ve been due to her morning sickness. She had only two spoonfuls of soup fed to her before pushing the bowl to Warren. “I’m full. You should finish the rest. Don’t waste it.”
Holding the spoon in his hand, Warren shook his head helplessly. “I just ate four cheese pancakes. I’m too full.”
“Huh? But you haven’t eaten anything else today. A cheese pancake isn’t even as big as my palm! And you used to be able to eat three large plates of spaghetti at one meal!” Flora snorted and then fed him the soup.
Warren slurped up the soup silently. Suddenly, his eyes turned red and he lowered his head like a homeless dog, sobbing.
Flora flew into a state of panic. She quickly put down the bowl, cupped his cheeks, and asked, “Why are you crying, babe? Isn’t this your favorite soup?”
Warren didn’t say a word. He threw his arms around Flora and buried his head in her neck, crying.
Flora comforted him in a low voice, stroking his back gently.
Seeing that the two were about to kiss, I quickly coughed to reveal my presence.
Sylvia’s POV
It wasn’t until then that Flora and Warren noticed me. They quickly stood up from the sofa, looking embarrassed. Especially Warren.
Tears were still streaming down his cheeks as he murmured an apology and hurriedly went into the bathroom.
Flora scratched her head in embarrassment and smiled at me. “Warren has been emotionally unstable recently, and I’ve been having a horrible case of morning sickness. That’s why I couldn’t come to see you.”
“I understand.” I shook my head and flashed her a smile. “There are some things that don’t need to be explained. We’re friends, aren’t we?”
Flora walked over to me and took my hand. Then, she took me to sit on the sofa with her. “So many things have happened recently, and I haven’t had the chance to talk to you. I miss you so much.”
Looking at her baby bump, I was eager to touch it. I was also pregnant, but my gestation period was shorter than hers, and I hadn’t been able to feel my baby move.
“Can I touch your belly?” I asked.
“Of course,” Flora said as she casually put my hand on her belly. “It feels comfy, doesn’t it?”
I excitedly nodded. “Yeah. I think the baby is moving!”
Flora chuckled. “Let me touch yours too!”
Then, she put her hand on my belly and muttered, “Your belly is big too even though your gestation period isn’t that long.”
“Really?” I looked down at my belly and then at Flora’s. What she said was true, but my belly was still smaller than hers. “Maybe it’s because I’ve been eating too much. Rufus is strict with my diet, and I have to eat all kinds of nutritious food.”
“Warren is basically the same with me! I feel like I’m a pig when he feeds me like that,” Flora said with a sigh. Although she sounded distressed, her expressions were still very sweet. “I didn’t know he was that patient before. Every time I don’t have an appetite because of my morning sickness, he would say all the sweet words in the world and do anything just to make me eat more.”
Hearing what she said, I felt happy for her.
But when I thought of what had just happened, I couldn’t help but worry. So, I told her what the maids had discussed behind her back.
Surprisingly, she didn’t care about them at all. She even tried to comfort me by saying, “You really shouldn’t take them too seriously. As long as Warren treats me well, that’s enough for me. Besides, I have Owen and others’ full attention. Those servants are just jealous!” She placed a hand on my shoulder. “So don’t worry about me, okay? You should focus more on Prince Rufus. I just wish you two to be happy too.”
Hearing her words of comfort, I was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. I just flashed her a small smile instead. “It’s good that you don’t care about them.”
“Of course, I don’t! My parents told me to be happy and optimistic every single day. If I let myself get influenced by others and let their meaningless harsh words ruin my day, I will lose one day of happiness. That’s not a bargain at all!” Flora’s smile reached her eyes as she said that. “I don’t want Warren to be in a bad mood because of my affairs either. He has already been depressed because of Leonard’s death. He hasn’t been eating well these days and has lost a lot of weight because of it. The reason why I ask him to do all kinds of things for me is that I want to keep him busy so he won’t drown in sadness. Besides, I asked Owen what food Warren likes, so the things I asked Warren to buy are all his favorites. I told him that we shouldn’t waste the food he bought after a few bites and then forced him to eat the rest. I just want him to eat something at this point because he’ll definitely get sick if things go on like this.”
Flora had always been a considerate person even though she was willful and careless sometimes. She was really good to Warren, though. I remembered that she had complained about him before, but that was because they had some misunderstandings and he hadn’t realized that she loved him.

So many things had happened lately, and she had grown a lot. She never felt inferior because of her status as an Omega. At that point, she only cared about Warren’s feelings for her.
