Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
But to her embarrassment, she choked and started coughing fiercely, as Liam had predicted.
“Cough! Cough! Cough!”
“Sigh. Look at you now. Drink some water!”
Liam was so anxious and quickly gave her some warm water and patted her back gently, his actions gentler than coaxing a kitten.
“Tsk tsk. Brother, can you be any mushier? Why don’t you just treat Flossie like a baby?”
Leia had goosebumps all over her body as she was watching from the side.
One thing always conquered another. The previously philanderous man who would make women die for him transformed into the most affectionate lover as soon as he met Flossie. He had stooped so low to the point of losing his dignity!
William also sighed helplessly. ”1 always thought that it was difficult for an older woman to tolerate and care for her younger partner, and such a couple wouldn’t last long. Now it seems that I’ve been too narrow-minded. Mr. Osborne is really a role model for us men. I shall learn more from you and spoil Leia like a baby like this!”
Leia flushed immediately and leaned toward William’s shoulders. “Hmph, you are such a sweet talker. How annoying!” she flirtatiously cooed.
Flossie got her breath back after taking a big gulp of the water and teased them. “Don’t you feel embarrassed for commenting on us? It is you who are the cheesy ones… Especially you, Leia. This is the first time I’m finding out how mushy you can be when you’re dating. You are so mushy that you seem to be possessed. It makes me sick!”
“You don’t understand this, Flossie. All women will become like this when they find their true love. Speaking of this, I always think that you and my brother are too respectful to each other. You don’t look like you’re about to get married. You should act like me sometimes and flirt with my brother!”
Leia always felt that Flossie chose to be with Liam not because of love but simply out of familiarity and gratitude.
Such a relationship would, over time, become a double-edged sword that would cut both parties at the same time.
“I…”
Flossie bit her lips, feeling awkward and powerless.
How could she not know that it wasn’t love between her and Liam?
It was just that she firmly believed that if she tried hard enough, the other feelings they experienced would slowly turn into love.
“Flossie, why don’t you do what I did and flirt with my brother? If you guys keep respecting each other like this, and your hearts are separated by a hundred thousand miles, when will you really walk into each other’s hearts?
Leia tried her best to put them together.
William also strongly agreed. “Miss Ellsworth, just act coquettishly with Mr. Osborne,” he encouraged. “I’m sure no man can resist it when you do that.”
’Yes, just do it.”
Leia clapped and egged Flossie on.
However, Flossie appeared to be in a dilemma as she stood there awkwardly. She did not make a move after a long time.
It was not difficult for her to act coquettishly, and she had had experience with it. However, she could not force herself to do so when the other party was Liam…
Liam saw through her dilemma, so his handsome face showed a tinge of sadness, but he hid it just as quickly as it appeared.
“That’s enough. You’re so bold to make jokes about your elders. Do you still want to hold the wedding on time at the end of the month?”
He pulled a long face and taught both Leia and William a lesson.
Hence, they ended that topic in dismay.
Liam asked Leia, “Didn’t you tell me that you prepared a surprise for Boss? Why haven’t you taken it out?”
“Be patient. Just wait for a few minutes.”
Leia looked at the watch and started counting down. “Ten, nine, eight, seven…”
When she counted to one, a piece of dynamic music could be heard in the restaurant out of the blue. A group of handsome men started to dance charmingly and neatly on the stage.
“Flossie, these handsome men are the members of SKH Group, the most popular idol team from Korshach. Many local TV stations and businessmen failed to hire them. I know that you like this kind of show, so I used a lot of connections and pestered many people to get them to perform for you… This is their first show in our country. What do you think? Isn’t it a very pleasant sight?”
Leia asked Flossie with great confidence.
Women understood women the most. Besides, Leia was Flossie’s best friend.
Her best friend had that kind of interest. While others were ignorant of that, Leia was certainly not one of them.
People always say that one should eat well and enjoy themselves to the fullest.
Men took pleasure in drinking and looking at beauty. Women were, of course, no different.
The members of the idol team on the stage were tall, handsome, and classy. Their dancing moves were awesome too. Flossie was soon enthralled by them. She even got to her feet and clapped with all her might. “Good! Awesome dancing! You guys are so handsome and young! Your faces are so tender.”
“Of course they’re very handsome. I’m the one who knows you the best. They’re the top male idol team from Korshach. I like the one with the silver hair the most. Look at his lips. They look like delicate plum blossoms that are so kissable!”
“Yes, I like the one with silver hair too. He’s so handsome.” She then grinned.
The two women huddled together and fervently discussed the treat laid before them. Their eyes brightened with excitement.
Sitting in a corner, Liam looked rather gloomy but could not make a scene. It would make him look very stingy if he did.
William’s expression was not that nice either.
At first, he was just fooling around with Leia because of his mission. He had no sincerity toward her at all.
But he was now slightly jealous when he saw Leia’s eagerness when she stared at another man, drooling.
No, he had to find a way to make Jessanna fulfill her promise quickly and end that game. If not… he would fall in love with Leia sooner or later.
William failed to hold himself back, so he turned Leia’s head aside and said with great jealousy, “Lei, stop that. If you enjoy watching a dance, I can dance for you. You mustn’t look at other men…”
Liam wanted to do the same thing to Flossie, but… he had no right.
He loved Flossie in such a humble manner that he did not even have the right to be jealous.
It was a video call that ruined Flossie’s fun.
“Miss Flossie, something awful has happened!” Margaret exclaimed from the other end of the video call, her voice shaky. The extreme state of anxiousness she was in almost left her in tears
Flossie’s heart skipped a beat before she got back to her senses. “Margaret, what happened?” she asked gravely. “Calm down and tell me slowly.”
“I felt that something was wrong just now, so I forced my way into Adie’s laboratory, but I… I found that he wasn’t there. I looked around the island, but I still couldn’t see him. He’s so young. Could some bad guy have taken him? Miss Flossie, what should we do?”
Margaret cried profusely and described the incident with a shaky voice.
Flossie had left the two children in her care, but a second of carelessness caused her to fail to realize that the child had gone missing. She wished so much that she could just kill herself now as an apology, not to mention Flossie blaming her.
“What did you say?”
After Flossie heard Margaret’s words, she felt like she had received a fatal blow to her heart. Her mind then went completely blank.
