Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
The majority in the comment section felt the same as Halston.
“Wow! Flossie is so amazing. She stood in front of a gun for love. This is so touching!”
“I suddenly feel that Halston doesn’t deserve her. He’s so weak. I think Mr. Osborne is more powerful!”
“I agree. I announce that Guajardo my Ellsworth is fake. Liam my Ellsworth is the real couple!”
“I agree!”
“Me too!”
“I agree as well!”
When Halston saw this, he became angry.
He registered an account and commented angrily, “A playboy like Liam doesn’t deserve her.”
Instantly, he became the joke of the internet.
“Why don’t you try and date Flossie then?”
“Liam has a lot of admirers, but he only loves Flossie.”
“You’re definitely a hater. Get lost!”
Seeing this, Halston angrily deleted his comment.
Apart from that, there were posts applauding Flossie and Liam and bad-mouthing Flossie and Halston. Suddenly, he remembered the fanfiction about him and Flossie that managed to capture the hearts of many.
However, the owner had deleted that post, and many were begging for it to be published again. Halston was looking for it too but found nothing in the end.
He was annoyed and phoned Elijah once again.
“Can you still find posts that had been deleted before when you’re doing damage control?” Halston asked.
“What?”
“There’s an id called ‘Ellsworth_Guajardoer’. They wrote a fanfiction of Flossie and me before. Get the technician to retrieve it.”
Elijah was confused. ‘What’s going on?’
Ten minutes later, he called Halston back and said, “Mr. Guajardo, the technician examined it, and we did not erase it. The author seems to have deleted it on their own. Not only that but all online traces of it were also removed. I believe they did it on purpose.”
“On purpose?”
Halston’s face darkened, and his desire to read it became stronger.
The following day, the sun shone brightly. Elijah immediately sent Halston all the pieces of information he had on Flossie. After reading it, Halston was shocked, and he had a new perception of her.
They had been married for four years and were about to get a divorce, and only now did he find out that his wife was the infamous genius that graduated from BC University.
She skipped two grades in high school and entered BC University without needing to take the exam. She studied Electronic Communications and Technology, majoring in Electromagnetic Field and Electromagnetic Wave
Direction.
She became the lecturer’s assistant in her second year, and whenever she was in class, it would be full of students. During her second year of postgraduate, she went to Asken as an exchange student and continued to have exceptional grades.
However, everything changed when she was in her final year.
The Ellsworths faced insolvency and declared bankruptcy. Her parents committed suicide because they were unable to face reality. The former member of The Great Eight of Beach City had fallen and gained a slew of enemies. 1
Afterward, she became an orphan under Maurice’s care where Halston rushed home under the threat of Old Mr. Guajardo and immediately married Flossie.
He wasn’t happy with the arranged marriage, so he hated her.
He still remembered the first time he met her. It was raining. She was wearing all white, and a white flower was hanging on her ear. She looked petite as she didn’t speak a word with a solemn face. 1
Halston didn’t like women who were quiet and solemn, so his first impression of her wasn’t great.
As a result, he had never been interested in his wife in the previous four years. He obviously didn’t want to know her. He pretended to be a loving pair with her whenever he needed to attend an event, but they had no further interaction.
It was undeniable that Flossie carried out her responsibilities as Mrs. Guajardo. She was respectful and attentive to his grandparents. Even though she had been practically a widow for four years, she didn’t get involved in any scandals.
If it weren’t for Jessanna, he wouldn’t have minded going on with this marriage.
After Flossie woke up, she sat up from the bed and stretched her body. Last night was her most peaceful sleep in the past four years.
She looked around the room and didn’t see Halston, and she instantly let out a breath of relief.
“He finally left!”
However, her hopes were crushed when she walked out of her room and saw him sitting on the sofa.
“Why are you still here? I thought, as the CEO of H Group, you should be busy.” She said, her expression filled with disdain as she looked at the man. (1)
He put down the newspaper and looked at her calmly before saying, “Have some breakfast.”
Only then did she see there were all sorts of food on the dining table.
She felt conflicted.
Before this, she would be so happy, but now it was too late. It only felt funny seeing him do all this.
“Halston, you really don’t have to.” She looked at him calmly as she said coldly, “First of all, we are married by contract, so no feelings are involved. Second, we’re about to get a divorce soon. Third, I think Jessanna needs this breakfast more than me.”
“To conclude, I hope you know your limits as my soon-to-be ex-husband. Please keep a distance from me and don’t bother me anymore, so people don’t misunderstand us.”
Her words were blunt to the point that it might have hurt him.
However, he wasn’t mad at her.
He stood up from the sofa and slowly approached her. In the still and silent air, they gazed at each other. He was taller than her, so his aura felt greater, as if he was suffocating her.
“So… Have you misunderstood something?” his voice was cold as he looked at her and asked.
Flossie subconsciously pursed her lips but didn’t answer him, thinking to herself, ‘You’re aware of what I misunderstood. Why are you pretending not to know?”
Halston’s dark eyes focused on her, and he said, “I don’t care what you misunderstood me, but I don’t want you overthinking things. I’m doing all this to thank you for saving me. Besides that, I have no other intentions.”
After hearing this, she laughed mockingly at herself.
She knew she had read too much into his actions.
He had never liked her in the past four years, so it was impossible that he had feelings for her now! (1)
“That’s good.” She relaxed instantly and joked, “After the divorce, we won’t see each other anymore.”
Halston merely pressed his lips together and didn’t say a word. He was thinking of the same thing, but he didn’t feel happy when he heard her say it.
Flossie rolled up her sleeves, pointed at her injury, and said, “See, my injury is healing. I can take care of myself. You can leave now.”
He looked at the scar and asked indifferently, “Where’s the medicine? I’ll put it for you.”
“No. It’s not necessary. I can do it on my own.”
Halston didn’t care at all about her refusal. He found the medicine and applied it to her. The scar was longer and deeper than he had thought. He couldn’t imagine how painful it was for her when she had gotten this wound.
“Ah! That hurt.” Flossie hissed through gritted teeth.
“Bear with it…” His movements were gentle as he blew on her scar and said coldly, “If you’re scared of the pain, why bother acting strong and being the hero?”
