novelxo Chapter 1231
"Flora!" Jacob and Carly shouted in surprise, rushing over to lend a hand!
Flora's eyes, bright and full of mischief, squinted with satisfaction. With a slight tilt of her neck, she flashed a knowing smile, almost as if she was ready for a challenge. Ah... A punching bag delivered right to her?
Just what she needed.
Teddy moved with lightning speed, appearing in front of Flora in an instant, aiming a palm strike at her chest!
In that crucial moment!
A large hand appeared out of nowhere!
It grabbed Teddy's wrist and twisted it gently-
"Ah!"
Teddy's scream was like a pig being slaughtered!
"Who! Who dares lay a finger on me! Let go!"
The man's voice carried a playful tone, tinged with a hint of mischief: "Mr. Schaefer, attacking a young lady in broad daylight, aren't you ashamed?"
"What are you, to meddle with me—"
Teddy's anger turned to shock when he saw the man's face.
"Al... Alan Mace!"
His voice was trembling!
Hearing the name "Mace," Flora looked up, her gaze landing on the man standing beside her.
She had been all set to fight.
But he had ruined her fun.
His last name is Mace?
Carly and Jacob, seeing the man, instantly quieted down.
"Can I handle you now?" The man's voice was casual, with a touch of rogue charm, making him seem like a carefree young master without any threat. Yet Teddy was nearly petrified: "Ye... yes! Alan Mace, I was wrong, please forgive me!" Alan Mace, the charming rogue.
Tara's uncle.
Also the brother of Sammuel Mace, the head of the prominent Mace family.
To show up here today...!
"Knowing your mistake, you should apologize then." Alan Mace smiled effortlessly.
"Alan Mace, I truly apologize, I... I..."
"Apologize to this young lady."
Alan Mace cut him off, nodding towards Flora.
Though Teddy was reluctant and quite unwilling, he dared not confront Sammuel at this moment.
"I apologize... I'm sorry..."
He managed to choke out the sentence, his face turning a deep shade of red.
Alan Mace then released him: "Now off you go."
Teddy scrambled away, not even bothering with his horse.
"Young lady, did he scare you just now?" Alan Mace then turned to Flora. "No."
Flora lifted her eyes to the man, "Thank you."
Even though she was itching for a
showdown with Teddy, the man bet
her, after all, and she her appreciation.

However.
The moment she looked up.
Seeing her face, Alan Mace's heart skipped a beat, and his handsome face froze.
His breathing quickened.
How could she...
Noticing his change, Flora frowned in confusion: "Is something wrong?"
It's just...
She looks so much like...
For the first time, Alan Mace's voice. was a bit hoarse, his expression somewhat dazed: "Young lady. you

look very much like someone €
"Uncle Mace, hehe..." Jacob stepped forward, grinning, conveniently blocking Flora's view: "That's a bit cliché, isn't it? That pickup line, who are you trying to fool? Are you going to say next that she resembles your beloved?"
"Don't be ridiculous." Alan Mace chuckled, calming the storm in his heart: "This young lady, she resembles my sister."
His sister.
That is, Tara's mother.
Alan Ward.
