“Why? I knew it, you’re lying. You’re slandering her.”
“That’s not it.”
Halston continued to complain and paint himself as the victim. “I just remembered that she blocked me. See? Not only did she splash wine and coffee on me, she also blocked off my attempts to make contact with her… She’s giving me physical and mental abuse. No matter how strong I am mentally, I’d still feel sad and hurt.”
Oh, that’s right, she already blocked him a long time ago. His calls could not reach her.
Flossie heaved a sigh of relief, but what he said next made her furious.
That bastard! He’s completely slandering her!
He made it sound like she’s a cold-blooded demon while he’s an innocent angel. He never explained why she blocked him in the first place and why she would splash drinks on his face!
“I’ve tried my best to win her back. I gave her my everything, but she…”
Halston covered his handsome face with his large hand. Depression and pain enshrouded his body. He looked like he was on the verge of tears. “Grandpa, I’m so hurt, so tired. I can’t deal with her at all. What should I do?”
Grandpa Timothy had always been a shrewd man, but his grandson was even shrewder. He could not help being deceived.
The old man let out a long sigh and patted Halston on the shoulder, comforting him. “Don’t feel too bad. I know women are really hard to understand. As long as you’ve tried your best, that’s enough for me. Flossie is the one in the wrong here. I’ll give her a talking to. I won’t let her keep hurting you…”
Flossie clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. She thumped the floor a few times in anger. She was going to explode!
‘Aaah, Grandpa Timothy, don’t believe him! When have I ever bullied him? How can I bully someone who’s as cunning as a fox and as cold as an iceberg?!’
Flossie secretly decided that after she escaped, she must tell Grandpa Timothy the truth as soon as possible to give Halston a proverbial slap to the face.
Grandpa Timothy finally left Halston’s room. The room suddenly became really quiet.
Flossie held her breath and dared not move an inch. She felt even more nervous now.
Her eyes were glued to Halston’s feet. She wanted to be aware of his position at all times in order to find an opportunity to escape.
But that bastard Halston would sit on the side of the bed from time to time, as if he was deliberately toying with her. Every time he did, it would scare the hell out of her. Then, he would walk away, but never too far off.
After repeating this a few times, Flossie could not take it anymore. She debated whether she should just rush out of the bed and get it over with.
When she saw him take off his shirt to go take a shower, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.
She planned to leave as soon as Halston walked into the bathroom.
But before he did, his phone suddenly rang.
The caller was Seraphina, the other option Grandpa Timothy gave Halston.
As Grandpa Timothy said, both the Murphy family and Seraphina were very anxious. They hoped the matter between Halston and Seraphina could reach a conclusion soon. If the two strong families could unite, the future would be bright for them.
Halston returned to the bedside, picked up his phone that was charging, and accepted the call.
“Lil’ bro, are you home?”
Seraphina asked in a cheerful voice.
“What’s the matter?”
“To thank you for taking care of me, I’ve got a surprise for you. Trust me, you’ll love it.”
“If you’re home, I’ll bring the surprise over to you right now!”
Halston was not interested in the so-called surprise, but thinking of the “audience” under the bed, his thin lips curled into a smile and he said eagerly, “I’m at the Guajardo Residence. You can bring it here!”
Who was that? Bring what here?
Flossie could not hear the conversation very clearly from under the bed.
But what was certain was that she would have to stay under the bed for a lot longer.
‘Damn it… Are you serious? I’m not gonna be stuck here all night, am I?’
Flossie thumped the floor in frustration. She was gonna go crazy!!!
About ten minutes later, Seraphina knocked on the door of Halston’s room.
“That was quick.”
Halston expressed his surprise when he opened the door.
“Of course!”
Seraphina’s smile was as bright as the sun. She pounced on Halston, put her arms around his neck, and said, “I actually called you after I’ve already reached the Guajardo Residence. I knew you must be here, and I was right! We understand each other so well. We really are brothers!”
Halston had long gotten accustomed to Seraphina’s intimate behavior. He did not feel like there was anything inappropriate with how she behaved.
He let the woman hug him and rubbed her freshly-styled hair, then said mockingly, “You came to my place so late at night and even styled your hair. Be honest… What kind of mischief are you planning?”
Seraphina’s cheeks reddened slightly with a faint blush. She deliberately said in a casual manner, “What? This is natural beauty, man. Have you fallen for my charm?”
“Oh no, you got me. I’m so fascinated with you that I’m losing my mind.”
Halston hugged her back and joked.
They all liked to joke with Seraphina like this. In truth, they never saw Seraphina as a woman and had always treated her like a man.
From Flossie’s perspective, she could see their legs being very close together. They hugged each other for so long and spoke so intimately with each other. Sure enough, there was something going on between those two!
Seraphina knew that Halston was joking, but she could not help feeling moved. With a bright smile, she said, “You stinky brat, you have such a sweet mouth. As expected of my favorite lil’ bro.”
“I guarantee you’ll like the present I got you. You’re gonna become even more infatuated with me after you see it!”
After declaring that with confidence, she clapped her hands and told the two maids who were waiting outside the door, “Thank you. Please bring it in.”
The two servants cautiously carried a huge present into Halston’s room.
“What is this?”
Halston could not help feeling a little curious.
“Open it.”
Seraphina said with a smile with a hand around Halston’s shoulders.
Halston unwrapped the gift. When he saw what was inside, his eyes couldn’t help but light up a bit. He generously expressed his delight, “You do know me well. I love this gift.”
Flossie stretched her neck to try and catch a glimpse of the present. She was so curious to know what kind of gift could make the CEO of H Group so happy.
