Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Flossie was perplexed. “You’re so unreasonable. Fine, if you’re so wary of me ruining your friend’s life, I’ll stay away from him from now on. You can take care of him. I’m not coming here anymore! ”
Flossie turned around and left the hospital.
Halston remained rooted to the spot, speechless. He could not understand her line of thought.
Why would she think that he was wary of her ruining his friend’s life?
Couldn’t she see that the one he’s wary of was obviously his friend?
After Flossie left the hospital, she was still furious.
“He’s so annoying! What is wrong with him? He’s so worried that I would ruin his precious friend’s life. He’s totally looking down on me!”
She took a taxi back to the Guajardo Villa.
Margaret was already there. She was rubbing her hands anxiously.
When she finally saw Flossie, she immediately rushed over. “Miss Flossie, what’s going on? How did the Ellsworth Residence burn down while I was out doing grocery? Why did you ask me to wait for you at the Guajardo Villa?”
The moment Flossie saw Margaret, the tears she had been holding back came pouring out.
Like a child, she threw herself into Margaret’s arms and cried,” Margaret, what took you so long? Our house is gone! Our home is gone!”
“Don’t cry, Miss Flossie. Don’t cry!”
Margaret gently stroked Flossie’s back and comforted her, “Don’t be sad. Our home will never be gone. Home is where you and I are. So what if the house burned down? We can just rebuild it. Don’t cry! 11
“It’s all gone…”
Flossie bawled her eyes out. She sobbed, “The house can be repaired, but the traces of Grandpa, Mom, and Dad are all gone.
Every plant, tree, brick, and tile in the house is gone!”
“They’re not. As long as they remain in our hearts, even if the house is burned down, they’ll still exist. Calm down, Miss Flossie. It’s not a big deal. We can always rebuild the house. I know our strong Miss Flossie would never be defeated by this setback.”
“That’s right, I can’t let it defeat me…”
Flossie finally stopped crying.
Grandpa once said tears belonged exclusively to the losers. The strong would always turn tears into strength.
Instead of feeling sorry for herself, her time would be better spent making the Ellsworth family great again!
“Margaret, we can’t be defeated by this. We have to be stronger than before. Let’s stay in the Guajardo Villa for now while we slowly rebuild the Ellsworth Residence. I believe that the reborn
Ellsworth family will shock the entire Beach City!”
Flossie’s oath filled Margaret with enthusiasm.
The two then carefully transformed the Guajardo Villa from the inside out so that the villa would have a strong Ellsworth feel.
The next day.
Flossie got up early and, like before, cooked something delicious in the kitchen.
After all, she had lived in this place for four years. She was familiar with every comer of it, especially the kitchen.
She used to love cooking. Whenever she heard Halston was coming back, she would prepare a whole feast for him.
She had not cooked at all since the divorce, so her skills were somewhat rusty.
She had taken a liking to sour food lately, so she wanted to make lemon chicken feet.
The moment she finished marinating the chicken feet, she heard Margaret’s nervous voice call out to her.
“Miss Flossie, we have an important guest.”
“An important guest?”
Flossie was puzzled. She quickly washed her hands and walked out.
She saw her ex-mother-in-law, Francine Milford, sitting in the living room.
That’s not an important guest! That’s an unfortunate guest!
Last night, Flossie and this arrogant woman had parted on bad terms, and now, she was probably back for more.
“What brings you here this early, Miss Francine?”
Flossie asked flatly. Her attitude was far from polite. She looked like she was ready for a fight.
She was not the old Flossie anymore. She did not have to be considerate of Francine’s feelings now. If Francine dared to make a scene, she would definitely retaliate!
However, to Flossie’s astonishment, Francine actually smiled at her warmly.
“Can’t I just come to see how my daughter-in-law is doing? I don’t really need a specific reason to come here.”
“Huh?”
Flossie’s eyes widened and her jaw dropped.
Did Francine forget to take her meds today? She had always just called Flossie the harbinger of tragedy and she had never been kind to her, yet today…
Margaret said happily, “Miss Flossie, Miss Francine is so kind. She even brought you a gift. Do you want to open it and have a look?”
“Uhh, I…”
Before Flossie could respond, Margaret had already opened the beautifully packed present.
“Wow, it’s a sapphire necklace. It’s so beautiful! It must be really expensive!”
Margaret was just like a mood maker at a party. She thanked Francine for her generosity, said the necklace would look perfect on Flossie, and said the two of them were truly mother and daughter, they understood each other so well!
Flossie was perplexed. ‘What is Margaret doing?! She knows Francine and I are at odds with each other!’
Francine smiled and said, “It’s not that expensive. It only cost a few hundred thousand dollars. I thought it suits you, so I bought it for you.”
Francine’s words still contained a sense of superiority as the lady of a prestigious family, but compared to the past, she was like a completely different person.
The main reason forthat was because of the abrupt change in her attitude towards Flossie!
Rather than feeling happy, Flossie just felt scared. She subconsciously took a step back. “Ms. Francine, I hope you can behave normally. Just call me the harbinger of tragedy like you always do. Also, if you want anything, just say it. Don’t scare me by doing all this.”
“You…!”
