Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Halston did not expect to find 300, 000 active users on this forum, which placed it in the top five most active groups on the entire website.
He foolishly thought that this was just a small interest group, but it seemed that they were as big as an army. It was no wonder a single live stream was able to put him in the headlines.
Halston continued scrolling down the page, his eyes completely focused on the screen.
[This is so sweet! Just look at them! Look at them!]
[Oh my god, my precious little Flossie is looking at that bastard with such loving eyes!] 2
[They’re definitely the opposites attract trope! The cold tsundere CEO, Halston Guajardo, loves his wife just as much as she does!]
The forum was incredibly active, and new threads containing old stories, photos, and theories would pop up every few minutes, all revolving around Halston and Flossie’s relationship.
This was the first time Halston realized that he actually had this many pictures with Flossie. Moreover, he noticed just how deeply in love with him she appeared to be.
Out of all the posts, there was one that stood out from the rest with its astonishing amount of likes. It was a piece of fanfiction about them, written by someone with the ID name, ‘Ellsworth_Guajardoer’.
[Their first meeting was on a summer evening, as rain poured heavily from the skies. Everyone was busy finding shelter when their gazes met…]
Halston was intrigued. He was about to give it a good read when he was met with a 404 error message after clicking on the post. It seemed that the post had been deleted.
“Damn it!” He cursed under his breath, obviously wishing that he could’ve seen just a little more about the story.
However, he finally understood why there were so many active members within the forum. Their authors were just too imaginative and skilled in their writing. The moment you entered this fanbase, it was near impossible to get out.
Halston did his best to keep cool as he clicked away from the page. He was worried he himself would become a fan of his relationship with Flossie if he continued reading on.
It wasn’t long before nighttime descended upon the city. Although Halston had worked productively the entire day, he felt an emptiness in his heart.
After pointlessly scrolling through his phone in the quiet office, Halston stared off into space, seemingly deep in thought.
At the same time, Flossie was reading a book on parenting when her phone suddenly rang. Picking it up from her couch, she realized that it was a call from Halston.
“I’ll be waiting for you at Rose Quartz Eatery,” the voice said coldly before hanging up abruptly, i
Listening to the dial tone, Flossie was dumbfounded. “What’s his deal?”
This man had never called her during the entirety of their marriage, he’d merely do it through his assistant, Elijah, and only if it was necessary.
‘Well, tonight’s a first.’ i
If this was before, she would’ve squealed with excitement while hugging her phone to her chest. Then, she’d do her makeup and dress nicely to meet him.
Now… she just thought of it as a scam call. She just wanted to dismiss it as soon as she could.
After finishing her book, Flossie proceeded to watch a documentary, then played around with some codes.
Soon, it was 10 PM, and she intended to put on a facial mask before heading to bed.
“Are you here yet? I’ve been waiting for more than two hours.” Halston sounded like he was about to explode from rage.
Flossie was speechless. ‘Is he okay in the brain?*
‘I didn’t make him wait. Why would he wait for more than two hours anyway? Isn’t he a CEO? When did he get the luxury to wait for others?’
“Come here, I have something to tell you!” Halston said before hanging up once more.
“Ugh! He’s just so…!” Flossie groaned, not knowing what his deal was.
‘How did I not realize that my prince charming has a few screws loose before? He’s being so childish right now!’
She first decided to ignore the man, but as the clock continued ticking, she couldn’t help but imagine him waiting in a cold, empty restaurant all alone.
She felt bad.
‘Oh whatever, I’ll just go check it out. The restaurant’s just a mile away anyway.’
With that, Flossie headed out in her cartoonish pajamas without any makeup nor hairdo.
It was already 10:30 PM. The restaurant was empty, except for the seat by the window. There was a handsome man sitting at the table, all alone.
He was currently looking out the window with eyes filled with melancholy. Watching him from afar, Flossie felt her heart skip a beat. ‘Damn, just look at this man. Handsome… Elegant… What a shame that he’s a jerk.’
Taking a deep breath, the woman approached Halston.
“What do you want, future ex-husband? Why’d you have to call me up at such a late hour?”
Halston turned around and looked her up and down. “Wearing pajamas to meet me? You sure let yourself go.”
“You’re going to be my ex-husband anyway, why would I have to restrict myself?” Flossie sat down nonchalantly, making fun of herself. “Besides, I couldn’t make you stay even when I was on my best behavior. Why would I ever do something so pointless now?” “So you really did love me?” Halston asked, his gaze focused entirely on Flossie’s face.
“Cough! Cough!”
Flossie, who was drinking a glass of lemon water when Halston asked the question, started choking.
‘Am I hallucinating? Isn’t this stone-hearted prince being too direct? This is too unlike him.’
“Don’t be a narcissist, who even told you that?”
Averting her gaze, Flossie denied ever loving him.
“Everyone has been telling me that. They said you loved me very much,” replied Halston with a grin that he was unconscious of having.
Plenty of women have confessed their love to him, some even tried to seduce him with their bodies. He would always be annoyed by them, let alone develop feelings for them.
On the other hand, he enjoyed being doused in this Flossie’s love. For some reason, it gave him a sense of achievement.
“Oh please, you know I was acting during that live stream. Those people are blissfully unaware of what was actually happening,” Flossie answered nonchalantly.
She did not intend to reveal her true feelings. It was the only way she could protect her dignity and continue living confidently.
Unfortunately, it seemed that Halston was adamant about uncovering the truth as if he was playing detective.
“If you didn’t love me, what’s the point of all those secret gifts? If you didn’t love me, why were you looking at me with such loving eyes in every picture we took together?”
“And… if you didn’t love me, why would you express hostility towards Jessanna in the first place? Isn’t it obvious that you were jealous of her?”
