She would much rather fight him fair and square. At least, if she lost, she would be able to accept it.
“See how upset your son is? I don’t think he wants to be with me at all. Please stop it with the pointless matchmaking…”
Flossie said to Francine while holding her chin, pretending to be disappointed.
“He’s not being honest with himself!”
Francine was furious with her dumb and stubborn son. She asked Flossie, “What I want to know is if you’re willing to reconcile with Halston. You can see for yourself how happy it is when the four of you live together. There’s no need to make things ugly.”
“If he agrees to do what you said – marry into my family, let me have the final say in everything, and let the children take my surname – of course I’m okay with it.”
Flossie agreed without hesitation.
First, knowing Halston’s personality, she knew that there was no way he would humble himself and accept all those conditions. This outcome was impossible from the start.
Second, if Halston actually agreed to it for some unfathomable reason, having a handsome, capable, and obedient husband like that would not actually be that bad.
It was at times like this that Flossie felt envious of men. They gained so much from marrying a wife!
They did not have to bear children, they did not have to handle household chores, and the children would take their surname. Their life would not be affected at all. It was all reward and no risk!
Francine’s eyes lit up. She grabbed Flossie’s hand and confirmed it again with great excitement, “My good daughter-in-law, are you serious? As long as my son is willing to marry into your family, you’ll reconcile with him?”
Flossie nodded and said, “Of course I’m serious!”
There was no way it would happen anyway!
“Great! Wait for my good news. I’ll go persuade that brat right now. If he doesn’t agree, I’ll beat him up!”
With that bold statement, Francine went upstairs in high spirits.
Flossie was not worried at all. She calmly ate with the children.
“Mommy, will you really marry Bad Daddy?”
Adie had a very strong comprehension ability. During the meal, he had already figured out what the adults were talking about. He now asked Flossie curiously.
“Do you want me to marry him?”
Flossie asked playfully.
“If that bad man is willing to marry into our house and listen to everything you say, I think we should consider it… After all, he seems very capable. He can definitely help you in many things.”
Adie’s view on the matter was very pragmatic.
“Hahaha!”
Adie’s pragmatism made Flossie laugh. That part of him was very similar to Halston. She asked again, “In that case, between him and Mr. Q, who would you choose?”
“Well…”
Adie rubbed his chin and seemed to be in a dilemma. “Q has his strong points, but Bad Daddy has his values too. It’s such a difficult choice.”
“I know!”
Abby raised her hands high and said with sparkling eyes, “Since Q Daddy and Bad Daddy are both pretty good, why not just accept both of them, Mommy? One can take care of the cooking and household chores for you, while the other can take care of your business. You can marry Bad Daddy first, then marry Q Daddy, and then you’ll have both!”
“That’s right. Abby’s proposal is very good. I agree with what she said.”
Adie also raised his hands high in support.
He was very pleased to hear his sweet, foolish little sister finally say something clever for once..
“Ugh. You two have such daring thoughts…”
Realizing that the two children were serious, Flossie did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Neither Mr. Q nor Halston was an easy opponent to deal with. One was enough of a headache for her. Both of them? She might not get to live long enough to “enjoy” them!
Moreover, Mr. Q and Halston were mortal enemies. If the two of them met… Flossie did not even dare to imagine how that would go down.
“If you really have to choose one between the two of them, who would you choose, Mommy?”
Adie threw the question back at Flossie.
“I…”
Flossie realized that the one week time limit was fast approaching. She would have to make a decision soon.
“Don’t worry, you’ll find out soon enough.”
She looked upstairs to where Halston was while touching her ring finger. There was no longer a ring there to restrain her. It meant that she was free to live her life however she wanted.
She could follow her heart and choose anyone she wanted!
Halston and Francine were arguing in the bedroom on the second floor.
“I can deal with Flossie myself. I don’t need you to get involved. If you really want what’s good for me, please leave immediately!”
He stood in front of the French window, looking out at the lush plants in the garden. His face was icy and he was very annoyed.
Yes, he had feelings for Flossie, but not enough to make him humble himself to that extent, and definitely not enough to let Francine and the entire Guajardo family humble themselves.
Francine could not help feeling angry. She snorted coldly. “You think I want to get involved? The problem is, if I don’t, you can’t handle it! Can you make her name reappear in our household registration book?”
“With your iceberg-like personality and rigid brain, I might have to wait until my next life to see you change her mind!”
“I know asking you to marry into the Ellsworth family is a big blow to your ego, but as long as you and Flossie become husband and wife and your children carry the Guajardo bloodline, what does it matter? It’s the 21st century. Stop being so hung up on tradition.”
Halston looked at Francine incredulously. “Mom, are you for real? Do you really want me to marry into the Ellsworth family and take their family name?”
“Of course! As long as you and Flossie get married again, everything else doesn’t matter.”
Francine said generously.
Halston could not accept it. “I thought you were just putting on an act. Are you really gonna “cast out” your only son? If Dad and Grandpa find out about this, they’ll break my leg.”
Francine patted Halston on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, son. Your father and grandfather will do no such thing because they were actually the ones who proposed it. I couldn’t accept it at first, but they convinced me that as long as you can reconcile with Flossie and live a happy life, everything else isn’t as important.”
Halston: “……”
“Son, listen to me, you don’t have to feel any mental burden. Flossie will definitely take good care of you after you marry into the Ellsworth family. She won’t abandon you ever again. Isn’t that what you’ve always dreamed of? As long as you can make peace with yourself, your dreams will come true.”
Halston: “……”
