Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
She was shocked. “Halston, what are you doing? This is my house. Please get out!”
“You have said that I have a crush on you, so I would naturally not miss such a good opportunity to spend time together with you,” said Halston reasonably.
“I told you it was just a joke!”
She was so annoyed. She knew that she should not have provoked him.
This man was like a beehive. She could not get rid of him after just a slight touch. She was indeed hoisted by her own petard.
“I know better than anyone that all men in the world might have a crush on me, but it will never be you, Halston. I still have this bit of self–knowledge, you know.” She clenched her fist and smiled self– deprecatingly.
Halston said nothing.
He strode to the huge floor–to–ceiling windows and looked out at the blue open sea.
This scene was only visible to their two penthouses in the whole neighborhood.
It was such a coincidence. It felt like there was an invisible thread tying him and Flossie together.
They might have looked at the same sea for many nights without knowing each other’s thoughts…
“Why did you want to move out?” After a long time, Halston turned around and asked in a low voice.
Flossie was busy opening all the drawers in the living room to look for the quilt when Halston threw the question at her, and she froze.
“Because I feel like it!”
She replied perfunctorily and added a self–deprecating remark. “The main reason is that I know you don’t like me. If we live next to each other, we will keep bumping into each other. So, I decided to move out to keep out of your sight and not affect your mood.”
He harrumphed. “You are just playing the wise guy when you don’t know anything!”
“Maybe I am. You are always busy and have little time to spend with Miss Ximenez, so you must want to stay in Guajardo Villa. Why will you come here? I’ve indeed done something unnecessary.”
Halston was standing in the sunlight. His stony face turned slightly cheeky. He gazed at Flossie’s face for a long time and said.
smiling. “You are jealous.”
She flushed and denied it immediately. “Don’t flatter yourself. I don’t like you. Why would I be jealous?”
“You are,” said Halston confidently. When he repeated it, it was a statement, not speculation.
With so many women admiring him, how could he not know if someone had feelings for him?
Suddenly, he felt that he had won for once ever since the video of him going crazy was exposed. Regardless of what led him to act like a clingy man and hold on to Flossie, at least now, he was certain that this woman had lingering feelings for him!
The sunlight pierced through the floor–to–ceiling window, silhouetting Halston, who was standing in front of it. He looked like a tall male idol when he walked toward Flossie.
“What do you want?
Seeing the man getting closer and closer to her, blocking all the way out like a high wall, Flossie subconsciously took a defensive stance.
‘He’s not going to be like the overbearing CEO of an idol drama, trying to play the awkward kabedon kiss scene, is he?”
Halston stood before Flossie, sizing her up like an object from top to bottom, then leaned down and reached out for her waist-
“You rascal, I am warning you, don’t try to mess with me!”
She hurriedly clasped her hands over her chest. Her reaction seemed to be a bit exaggerated.
Though it was not a big problem for her to fight against Halston with her skills, she would rather not do it unless she had to, for the sake of her babies.
Halston was speechless. He pointed to her waist in frustration and said, “Your dress is unzipped.”
“Huh?”
She gulped and fumbled with the zipper.
‘Shit, I really forgot to zip it!”
The zipper on the side of her dress was very long. Through the open zipper, everything, whether it was her waist, or something else, could be seen clearly!
No wonder everyone threw sideways glances at her when she came here. She previously thought that it was because she looked very beautiful in her outfit today. Never did she expect it to be…
‘It’s so damn embarrassing!‘
Flossie’s face and neck immediately turned red. She wanted to find a cave and hide in it right now.
Pretending to be calm, she attempted to pull the zip as if nothing happened. But it was even more embarrassing when she realized that she found it hard to pull. She could no longer fit into this once loose–fitting dress!
Halston watched unsympathetically and said to the blushing Flossie, “Do you need help? You seem to be facing a problem.“.
‘Damn! Of course I have a problem when there are two kids in my belly!‘ she thought.
“No!” Flossie took a deep breath and replied in annoyance. “The best thing you can do for me is to get out of here right now!”
He raised his brows and responded ambiguously. “I will go. But I want to tell you this. Although I don’t like you, I don’t hate you that much either. You don’t have to act like a smart ass and avoid me.”
“You…” Flossie froze in surprise.
She thought that this huge iceberg hated her all along. Otherwise, he would not have always shown her a stern face and rejected her!
But now he was telling her that he actually did not hate her?
“And you’d better eat less.”
Halston’s eyes fell on Flossie’s waist, and he asked in a serious manner, “Your waist has widened a lot. Could it be that you’re pregnant?”
Flossie’s heart skipped a beat. She put a hand on her belly awkwardly and pretended to be calm. “I wish I was pregnant sol could proudly marry into the Osborne family. Unfortunately, I have been enjoying myself too much since the divorce, and I gained weight from eating too much. Anyway, thank you for your reminder, Mr. Guajardo. It’s indeed time for me to lose some weight. Liam is, after all, so young and vibrant. If I don’t maintain a good figure, who knows when he will be seduced by another vixen, and what would happen to me then?”
Halston’s face turned dark instantly. His eyes were like sharp blades cutting through her skin.
“Well, I wish you good luck then.”
The man grunted and put his hands in his pocket. Then, he left without looking back at her.
Flossie stood in place for a long time. She reflected on her words just now, uncertain of whether she had gone too far with what she just said.
‘He seemed to be very angry just now. However, what was he angry about when he did not like her?”
She simply could not understand this man, and her helplessness made her sigh. A man’s heart was like deep water.
