Chapter 142 – A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

The group then reached the final mission, and that was to convince the bride to open the door for them.

However, the door stayed shut no matter what the groomsmen said. Not even Christopher, the groom, was able to persuade her.

Flossie shrugged as well, indicating that she couldn’t help them this time.

Just then, Xavier nudged Halston’s arm and said, “Hey Halston, why don’t… you try?”

Everyone turned to look at Halston, expressing disbelief. Most knew about the messy history between these three, after all.

It was already quite surprising that Halston attended the wedding in the first place, but now that he even took part in these wedding games, it resulted in everyone finding the man rather forgiving.

Halston pressed his lips together, remaining silent and standing still. He looked like he wanted to refuse. The atmosphere felt tense and extremely awkward in an instant.

Realizing that they were going to be late, Xavier started panicking and sighed deeply. “Halston, we know this is crossing your boundaries…’

‘But we have no choice. Didn’t Cecy say she feels guilty about wronging you? That’s why she wishes to hear your blessing! I’m guessing she’ll be leaving the door shut till you speak up. Why don’t you just… fulfill her wish.

Just this once?”

Christopher furrowed his eyebrows. “Xavier, don’t push Halston. He should be the last person to ever do this!”

“But…”

Before Xavier could continue, Halston opened his mouth, interrupting him dismissively.

“It’s fine. If this is really needed, I’ll do it.”

He then knocked on the door in front of everyone, frowning lightly. ‘Cecilia, don’t worry, and just open the door. I’ve already moved on, and I really do wish both you and Chris the best.”

Soon, Cecilia’s soft and regretful voice could finally be heard from within the quiet room. “Halston, Chris, and I are deeply sorry! We know we’ve done you wrong. I’ve been waiting for your forgiveness for so, so long… Thank you, truly…”

After that, she opened the door slightly.

Seeing this, the groomsmen immediately attempted to barge inside, with the bridesmaid trying their best to stop them.

Thus, the event once again broke into a chaotic, lively atmosphere.

Halston’s tall figure was currently standing at the side of the crowd, observing them silently instead of participating. His eyes were visibly filled with an endless swarm of sadness…

Out of safety, Flossie was standing at the very side too.

She snuck a glance at Halston, only to be met with his depressed expression. This immediately aroused her sympathy and made her heart ache for him.

‘Dang, this is too much for him, isn’t it?’

‘His first love ended up dating AND marrying his best friend. Yet, for some reason, the victim had to be the one to heal her heart… Poor Guajardo…’

‘He must be so sad now. Could it be that… he was never able to move on from Smith?!’

‘Oh god, it must be so hard to watch his one true love marrying his best friend!’

As Christopher was finally able to meet his bride, everyone started cheering loudly.

“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”

Flossie took another glance at Halston again, noticing that he was narrowing his eyes further.

‘Seeing this is definitely torture to him…’ She thought, slowly moving towards the man. For some reason, she decided to hold onto his hand.

The man froze up and turned to look at her, his face filled with sheer confusion.

Flossie winked at the man, whispering under her breath. ‘No need to thank me, I’m just repaying you for the dessert! Don’t worry! I have your back! You won’t look like a loser with me around today!”

Hearing this made Halston frown even deeper. ‘What… does she even mean?’

Flossie could tell that he was stupefied, and this got on her tiptoes, whispering into his ear. “I know you’re still in love with Smith, and it’s hard to watch her get married to another man.” ‘You were frowning so much, you know? I can’t believe they even made you congratulate their marriage! How inconsiderate…”

Realization finally dawned upon Halston, and he found himself not knowing how to react.

‘How did this woman draw the conclusion that I’m sad?’

’I did look gloomy just now, but it wasn’t because of Cecilia.’

Instead, he was simply reminiscing about his marriage with Flossie. He realized that the entire event was too rushed and dismissive. There wasn’t a single thing that could be considered a good memory.

Regretting his lack of attention then, he even went as far as to plan a whole new wedding in his head, hoping that he could get back together with the woman someday…

However, he obviously wouldn’t tell her the truth. On the contrary, he took the chance to mess with Flossie. Putting up a perplexed face, he said,’ Yeah, I’m so upset that my heart hurts, and I’m so angry at the fact that they would do this to me! What do I do?”

This made Flossie sympathize with the man even more, patting him on the head as comfort. “Don’t be sad, cheer up… In my opinion, the best revenge is to live a better life than them, and to experience a sweeter love than them!”

But I don’t have that…” Halston pouted. ‘ My relationship was a complete failure. Everyone knows we’re divorced, and that you’ve been fooling around with that Osborne kid! I’m so embarrassed; it’s like I came here to be laughing stock!”

‘Don’t worry. I promised I’d help you out today! As my ex-husband, your image affects mine too. I can’t have you looking like a loser…”

Cecilia was watching the whole time as the two whispered into each other’s ears. Although she was smiling sweetly while playing bonus games with Christopher, her heart felt bitter.

‘Didn’t they get a divorce? I heard it ended quite badly too! Why are they still so intimate with each other? How could they hold hands at a time like this!’ She thought, yet was unable to express her frustrations.

‘Halston, don’t just stand so far away! You know how much we longed for your blessings…” Cecilia called out to the man. “It’s almost time for the group photo. I hope the three of us can take a picture together.”

Everyone looked rather uncomfortable when they saw the bride being so reckless, as if she just couldn’t read the room.

‘Of course she’d have a chokehold on her ex and her fiance! They’ve been pampering her throughout their entire friendship, after all!’

Halston raised a brow, not showing much emotion as he responded. “Sure.”

Just then, Flossie raised her hand and exclaimed. ‘I’d like to join in too! I’m quite close with Halston, after all! How could I miss out on such a happy moment?”

Cecilia clenched her fists, putting up a fake smile as she indirectly tried taunting the woman. “Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for ex-spouses to take a photo together?’

‘So what if we’re divorced? We’re just switching up our relationship! Honestly, our bond has only gotten stronger. That’s why I’ll go wherever he goes!” Flossie said as she pridefully looked toward Halston.

She was trying to show him that she was a woman of her word and that she had her ways of saving his dignity.

Cecilia was visibly annoyed now, replying. “We have a special relationship with Halston, and we’ve known him for much longer. That’s why I still hope just the three of us can have a photo together. I’d like to keep it to commemorate this da…”

‘There’s no need for that,” came Halston’s cold interruption.

This made Cecilia’s eyes redden, as she gazed into the man’s eyes. “Halston, do you still hate Chris and me? Is this why you’re saying this on purpose?”
