Flossie’s cheeks turned red. “I-I don’t think so.” To be honest, Flossie wasn’t sure if they slept together or not, but the kiss definitely happened. She knew it because she felt the same way when Halston kissed her!
Despite being in her twenties, Flossie had only ever kissed and had sex with one man – Halston. That’s why she wasn’t sure… Was that how all kisses felt?
‘What do you mean?” Leia instantly felt something was amiss. ‘Did you really sleep with him after getting drunk? If you did, I’ll believe you’ve truly moved on from that scumbag!”
Flossie had no choice but to come clean. “To tell you the truth, I think we kissed while I was drunk. It felt like I was kissing Halston – it was so familiar…

Flossie stared at her best friend and asked hesitantly, “You know that I don’t have much experience in all this. Does kissing feel the same with every person?”
“Umm, about that…” Leia trailed off, not sure how to explain. “It’s pretty different. Honestly, I’m not that experienced either – it’s all theoretical knowledge. Like you, I’ve only ever done it with one person!”
Birds of a feather really did flock together. These two often talked about watching handsome men, but in reality, they were as naive as one could get!
Flossie frowned. “I’m beginning to suspect that the male escort might actually be Halston. After all, it felt too familiar!”
Leia couldn’t help but sigh as she patted Flossie’s shoulder. “I knew it… You still haven’t moved on. You’re even hallucinating! I admit he does resemble Halston somewhat, but how can a dead person come back to life? Besides, he’s the CEO of a big company, so why would he work as a male escort? It’s impossible! To me, he may look like Halston, but it doesn’t feel like him…”
To Flossie, last night felt like a gentle dream. She was determined to get to the bottom of this. “Instead of making wild guesses, why don’t we just ask him? I don’t think he’d lie if we’re paying him.”
“Good idea!” Leia agreed eagerly, and pulled Flossie to the back of the bar to look for the male escort, Isaac.
At that moment, Isaac was fixing his hair in front of the dressing table. His mask was on the table.
When Flossie and Leia walked in, they saw him from behind. He was wearing a black shirt, which showcased his broad shoulders, and his hair was thick. There was a charming masculinity about him that Halston also shared.
Flossie stopped walking. Suddenly, she felt a little nervous. She had mixed feelings – a part of her hoped he was Halston, but another wished for the opposite.
Leia, on the other hand, was getting impatient. She strode over to him and slapped his shoulder. “Did you do anything to my friend last night?” “You’re here.” The man smiled and turned around. He looked at Flossie intently. “Did you have fun last night?
The moment Flossie saw the man’s face, she felt a great sense of loss.
He was definitely attractive. He had soulful eyes, a pointy nose, sexy lips, and a defined jawline… Everything about him was perfect. Although he looked like Halston in almost every aspect, he wasn’t Halston. She really had hallucinated him!
Flossie wanted to laugh.
She should be glad that Halston died because it saved her a lot of trouble. On top of that, she no longer had to worry about her children being taken from her. She probably only hoped he was alive because she was drunk!
‘Thanks for making me feel better last night. It really helped.” Flossie smiled politely at Isaac, then turned to Leia. “Let’s go.’
‘Huh? Are we leaving already?’ Leia asked in surprise. Her friend was so unpredictable sometimes! A second ago, Flossie had insisted that the man felt familiar and gave her a sense of security. However, when she was in front of him, she tried to run away. He was almost as handsome as Halston, so what was the issue here?
Leia stared at Isaac’s handsome face for a long time. Finally, her eyes lit up, and she snapped her fingers. “I know what it is!”
‘What… is it?” Flossie asked with a confused look on her face.
’I know why you’ve lost interest!” Leia eagerly started to explain. ’His facial features are perfect, but his eyes make him seem a little too feminine.
That’s why you didn’t find him masculine enough. Look, once he puts on his mask, his femininity instantly disappears. Do you feel anything for him right now?” Leia exclaimed, urging Isaac to put his mask on.
Isaac obediently did as he was told.
It was true – he did look like a different person after putting on the mask. There was a sense of coldness and arrogance about him, and the lower half of his face looked like Halston’s.
‘What do you think? Has the sense of familiarity returned?’ Leia asked.
Flossie glanced at him, but still didn’t feel anything. Honestly speaking, Isaac looked a lot like Halston with the mask on. She nearly mistook him for Halston, but she no longer felt the same way about him like she did last night
“I had too much to drink last night, which was why I lost control. Now that I’m sober, I won’t act so crazily. Let’s not waste Isaac’s time, I’m sure he needs to get back to work!” Flossie’s head was pounding as she pulled Leia away.
The two walked out of the bar and hailed a taxi back home.
Leia was miserable throughout the journey. She had finally found someone who could help Flossie move on, but now that Flossie was sober, she was suppressing her emotions again. Leia was truly worried about her.
She needed to find a way to make this male escort more attractive!
Back in the apartment, Adie was watching cartoons on the couch, but he was clearly distracted. He frequently looked at the door, and he seemed anxious.
Beep, beep!
As soon as Adie heard the door being unlocked, he hopped off the couch and dashed to the door.
“Adie, why are you up so early?
Flossie felt warmth bloom in her chest when she saw her son waiting for her. She bent over to hug Adie, but he took a step back and put his hands on his hips sternly.
“Mommy, you didn’t come home last night. You misbehaved. Tell me the truth! Where did you go?”
‘Umm, about that…” Flossie felt a little awkward and didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t tell Adie that she got drunk at a bar and spent money on a man, could she? Adie would definitely lose all respect for her!
“I finished work late, so I decided to spend the night in the office. Sorry for making you worry, Adie.” Flossie picked up Adie and muttered an excuse, feeling a little guilty. After all, Adie wasn’t exactly gullible.
As expected, Adie took a deep breath before taking a few sniffs. His eyes narrowed suspiciously. “Mommy, you’re lying. You reek of alcohol! You went drinking last night, didn’t you?”
When Leia heard this, she immediately came clean about what happened.” That’s right! I asked your mother out for a drink last night because she’s been a bit down lately. Work has been exhausting, and she needed to relax a little.”
“That’s ridiculous!” Adie scowled angrily. “It’s dangerous out there, and Mommy is so pretty. Not only were you drinking, you even stayed out the whole night. What if you bumped into bad guys?”
Adie knew he was only a child, and adults wouldn’t listen to him, so he decided to get help. “Looks like I’ll have to call Daddy Liam and ask him to keep an eye on his wife!”
Flossie was a little sad when she heard this. She squatted down and ruffled his hair. “Baby, I haven’t told you yet, but Daddy Liam and I are no longer together. However, it doesn’t affect you in any way –
Daddy Liam will still love and protect you as he always has.”
“Did you two break up?” Adie blinked. “Will Daddy Liam still love and protect you too?”
“Well…’ Flossie didn’t know what to say. After all, relationships between men and women were complicated. Even if she tried to explain it, Adie might not understand.
However, Adie was very smart. “Mommy, I know Daddy Liam will fall in love with another woman and protect her instead. He will no longer love and protect you. Isn’t that right?”
Flossie smiled at her son warmly. “That’s right. You’ll have to love me and protect me instead.”
Liam had done so much for her over the years. Now that their relationship had officially ended, she genuinely hoped that he could meet someone who deserved his love and protection.
Leia was worried Adie might feel disappointed, and she quickly tried to comfort him. “That won’t happen. They might not be together anymore, but they still have feelings for each other. Don’t worry, Adie. My brother will always put you and Flossie first. He’ll do his best to protect you both!”
“It’s different now because they’ve already broken up. I’m not as gullible as other kids, so don’t try to trick me.” Adie frowned contemplatively. “If that’s the case, I’ll have to do something for the sake of Mommy’s happiness.”
Flossie and Leia exchanged concerned glances. “What are you talking about?
Adie pouted and said firmly, ‘From now on, I’ll do my best to find Mommy a husband. He’ll share Mommy’s workload, love her, and protect her!”
Flossie felt her heart warm when she heard this, and she couldn’t resist kissing Adie’s cheek. “Adie, you’re the best, but work isn’t that tough, and I have you to love and protect me. That’s more than enough, so you don’t have to find someone for me.”
