Chapter 68
Dane and the others looked around with wide–eyed wonder, their excitement palpable as they seemingly didn’t know where to put their hands or feet.
“Rafael is getting his makeup done backstage. Flom, do you all want to go now?” Devin asked in a low voice.
“Let’s go.” Flora nodded, the kids were too enger to see Rafael.
Devin quickly led them backstage.
Backstage, Rafael had been waiting for a while, constantly looking towards the door.
“Oh my, please don’t move around so much” The makeup artist was eat her wit’s end.
“Flora!” Finally, Flora and her group walked in, and Rafael sprung up immediately. “You’re finally here!”
Dane and Kaylee just watched as Rafael, who always shone brightly and carried himself with a cool aloofness on stage, ran towards Flora, arms wide open for a hug.
Connor stepped forward, blocking him with an unfriendly expression.
Rafael abruptly stopped in his tracks. He had noticed Connor the moment he walked in.
Despite wearing nothing more than a simple white shirt and jeans, Connor captured everyone’s attention instantly.
“Who are you?” Rafael asked, looking displeased.
“Watch your tone.” Flom glanced at him, “This is my fiancé, Connor.
“Fiancé?!” Rafael nearly choked on his saliva.
A france? Since when? Weren’t you completely focused on Aaron?
“You’re joking, right?”
Rafael’s gaze towards Connor became much more serious. Dressed in simple attire, the man might seem underwhelming at first glance.
But Rafael knew better. Every item the man wore was worth at least in the six figures.

With just one in
one look, Rafael realized that this man was powerful and not to be trifled with
How did Flora get involved with someone like this?
“Pleased to meet you, I’m Connor. Connor extended his hand politely, nodding slightly with an inherent nobility. Every movement was captivating.
Ignoring Connor, Rafael turned to Flora, “You’re engaged to him just like that? Aren’t you afraid he’s after your money or something worse?”
“Are you asking for trouble?” Flora glanced at him lightly. She then grabbed Connor’s hand in mid–air, their fingers interlocking.
Rafael pouted, looking somewhat wronged.
Dane and the rest were stunned. Was this the Rafael they knew? How come he was so obedient in front of Flora.
“Stop making a fuss. My friends here want to take a photo with you and get your autograph.”
“That’s no problem at all. Come on over, everyone.”
Rafael greeted Dane and the others, his tone/noticeably cooler than when he spoke with Flora
“Rafaell Sign here! A
Right here! This shirt, Im going to treasure it!” Alex, holding a pen and pointing at his shirt, said excitedly.
“Rafaell Me too, me too!”
Rafael was used to it many fans were even more enthusiastic than them.
“You’re friends of Flora, so you’re my friends too. If she needs anything at school, I’m counting on you all to lend a hand.”
“Rafael, you’re too kind. It’s Flora who looks after us.”
“Exactly, exactly
Dane and the others nodded vigorously.
After Rafael took photos with everyone, a somewhat nervous Kaylee asked him, ‘Rafael. I really like you. Can I have a photo with just
