Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Halston furrowed his brows deeply when he heard her and turned to look at his mother and Jessanna.
“Is that true?”
Jessanna, feeling guilty, choked on her words.
As for Francine, rather than feel guilty, she was harrumphed and said righteously, “It’s just a fact! She’s indeed barren. She’s the one who couldn’t conceive, so what’s the fuss about fearing what the people say?”
Leia was speechless, almost reaching the brink of exploding as she exclaimed, “Why do you think Flossie is infertile?” Leia pulled Flossie impulsively and announced proudly, “Let me just tell you straight. Flossie has been pregnant for almost a month. And one more thing, she is having fraternal twins!”
Her words were like the most powerful nuclear weapon in the world.
Everyone was stunned.
And Flossie was the most confused one.
‘What’s happening here? I remembered clearly that I had not spoken a word to Leia about my pregnancy. How did she come to know about it?’ t
Francine stared at Flossie’s belly with mixed feelings, and said doubtfully, “Son, didn’t you have no feelings for her? Why is she get pregnant?”
Halston pursed his thin lips, and his cold eyes landed on Flossie’s belly. The expression on his face was rather unpleasant.
He and Flossie hadn’t been intimate, so how could she be pregnant?
Leia was delighted with their reactions and continued bluffing with a serious face, “Hmph! Stop dreaming. Who said that Flossie’s pregnant with your son’s children? Since your son shamelessly cheated on my friend, of course she could. give him a payback. It’s only fair this way!”
Flossie was always in sync with Leia, so she immediately got her point. Her best friend was clearly trying to stand up for her and making things up on purpose!
Halston’s handsome face turned extremely gloomy, and he questioned bitterly, “Whose baby is it?”
“I told you already that Flossie is having fraternal twins. Isn’t this obvious enough? They are Liam’s, of course!” said
TIU DUKUJ
Leia proudly, “We, the Osbornes, inherit a strong genetic trait of getting twins, you know?”
Flossie struggled to hold back her laughter and nearly failed, and a snort almost left her lips.
‘Oh my God, how could Leia be so full of shit? When I really give birth to twins, it’ll be impossible for me to explain this!’
Halston stared at Flossie with eyes that could almost tear her into pieces. “Is she telling the truth?”
“Um…” Flossie didn’t know how to answer that for a moment.
“Of course, it’s true!” Leia chimed in as she cast a sympathetic look at Halston. “What a pity! My best friend is one hundred percent sure who the father of her children is, but I won’t be sure if Master Guajardo is the father of this bitch’s child!””
“Ahem!” Flossie cleared her throat, signaling Leia to stop and not to go too overboard.
Halston was a difficult man to deal with. If he were really pissed, the Osbornes would be in trouble.
“Let’s go, Lei. Mr. Guajardo is still busy picking out clothes for his baby!”
After dropping this sinister remark, Flossie held Leia and walked away, her head held high and ignoring Halston’s cold gaze. If looks could kill, she would certainly have dropped dead with how hard the man was staring at her!
Halston watched her retreating back indifferently, hesitating to withdraw his gaze.
Francine said indignantly, “Hmph! I knew that bitch was no good. It’s not a surprise that she would cheat on you. You are getting divorced soon anyway, so let her fool around if she wants!”
Halston slowly turned and said slowly, “Impossible.”
“What’s impossible?”
“It’s impossible that she would cheat on me, moreover, get pregnant.” His gaze turned sharp as he said, “She doesn’t have the guts to do that!”
Jessanna did not expect Halston to defend Flossie even though he was about to divorce her, which alarmed her.
To get rid of Flossie, a prickly thorn in her heart, an evil plan started to form in her mind secretly…
Flossie’s shopping mood was swept away after the misfortune of meeting Halston and the two toxic women, so she went straight home after leaving the mall.
The following day, she woke up early. After changing into a black dress and tying up her hair, she went to the florist to get a bouquet of daisies and then drove to the graveyard.
It was the third of March, the death anniversary of her parents.
It had been four whole years since they committed suicide, and she had never visited them. Everyone said she was a cold-blooded, ungrateful wretch who forsook her family to please the Guajardos.
But only she knew how much she loved her family.
She was angry that they were not brave enough to live on, for their cowardice, their choice to leave in such a stupid and stubborn way, and for leaving her alone in the world!
She hadn’t visited their graves for so many years because she hadn’t wanted to face or accept this reality. Yet, it was different now. She had gained the courage to face everything because of the two little ones in her belly! (0
After this visit, she might leave Beach City without knowing when she would return.
Regardless, Flossie froze when she stood in front of the grave, as a bouquet of flowers was lying in front of the headstone of the joint grave. The bouquet was still fresh and undoubtedly pricey, judging from its elaborated arrangement.
But since the tragedy happened to her family four years ago, her relatives deliberately stayed away from the Ellsworth family to avoid getting involved, so nobody would possibly come.
So, who could these flowers be from?
With the questions in her mind, Flossie was about to leave after paying her respects, but an amber pendant beside the bouquet caught her eye. She picked it up with care and examined it. It was a delicate work, with unique characters carved inside.
She found it very familiar but failed to recall who she had seen wearing this, no matter how much she tried.
So, she put the pendant into her pocket and planned to return it to its rightful owner sometime.
Leaving the graveyard, Flossie was unaware that a man was sneaking up behind her. When she got into the car, the man dashed forward and stood in front of the car with his arms wide open.
That was… Elon Barnes? 1
With a cheerful look, the man said excitedly, “My darling niece! I finally found you. I miss you so much!”
It should be a touching scene when family members meet after four years, but who would have thought that a stern look would slide onto Flossie’s face instead?
“Elon, I’ve not forgotten how you kicked my family when we were down. It’s still fresh in my mind, so stop pretending!”
Elon felt so embarrassed that he did not dare look into Flossie’s eyes when he tried to explain himself, “You have to understand, Flossie. Your aunt and I cut ties with you to save our lives back then. In fact, I still care about you and your mother deep in my heart…”
Not bothering to listen anymore, Flossie went straight to the point, “Cut the crap. Just tell me what you want!”
Elon’s eyes were tinged with greediness and slyness as he rubbed his hands. “Flossie, I heard that you are divorcing Halston. Since the Guajardos are rich, you must have received a large amount of alimony, right? So, can you help me out a bit?”
Flossie was somehow intrigued and wanted to see what this traitorous uncle of hers was plotting.
“What kind of help?”
He replied unabashedly, “Can you lend me some money? I don’t need that much, just a few million! I desperately need this money!”
She replied to him lazily, “I didn’t get a dime out of the Guajardos. I only got a law firm.”
“What? Are the Guajardos so stingy that you only got a worthless law firm? Elon said as his expression twisted uglily. However, he did not give up and continued, “Did they really not give you a dime?”
“Yup.”
Suddenly, Flossie recalled something and said, “Did you leave flowers on my parents’ grave?”
Elon was taken aback at first, but then he said cunningly, “Of course, it’s me! Your mother loved flowers and all the beautiful things in this world. It’s her anniversary today. As her brother, I should have done this for her!”
Flossie’s lips curled into an uncaring smile. At this point, she was almost certain that the bouquet was not from her stingy uncle, so he naturally could not be the one who had dropped the pendant.
Either way, she didn’t want to be too harsh to him because he was her mother’s brother.
