Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Especially the last promise. No woman could resist that.
Think about it. After coming home from a tiring day of work, there’s a stunning beauty waiting for you at home. He would make your stomach, mood, and body feel great. It would be better than winning the lottery!
“Halston, let’s be honest with each other. What’s your goal? If it’s the children, I advise you not to waste your time. Just file a custody lawsuit and let the judge decide.”
With the last trace of reason in her mind, Flossie pushed the man away and calmly asked him.
“No, my goal has never been the children,” he said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, as his eyes bore into Flossie’s.
“Then what’s your goal? To torture me, get revenge on me, and finally destroy me?”
“Am I so heinous in your eyes?”
“Of course you are. Other than that, I can think of no other reason why you would lower yourself to this level.”
Flossie looked up at him. The man in front of her felt so familiar and yet so strange. She had no idea what kind of person he truly was.
“My mother already told you…”
Halston said slowly, “I want my name and your name to appear on the same marriage certificate.”
After a momentary stun, Flossie felt disgusted. He glared at him and said, “I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. Unless the apocalypse arrives, that day will never come.”
“Why?”
“No reason. But if you need a reason before you’ll stop this madness, I don’t mind giving you one…”
Flossie paused for a moment, then told him honestly, “Because my name will be on another man’s marriage certificate. This person is a hundred times more suitable for me than you are!”
“Really?”
Halston’s eyes turned a little dark. An anger was clearly rising inside them, but he suppressed it. He said only one thing before he left: “We’ll see about that.”
Since then, they had not communicated much. Even though they lived under the same roof, they were like strangers. Even when they ran into each other, they would not even make eye contact. They completely ignored each other.
On the day she agreed to meet with Mr. Q, Flossie sent the children to the kindergarten early, then brought the necessary documents to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
“Are you sure you’re willing to be my wife?”
Mr. Q was there on time. He was clearly a bit surprised to see Flossie.
“I’m sure!”
Flossie nodded without hesitation.
“Have you taken care of all your relationship matters? You won’t have any regrets if you become my wife?”
Mr. Q could hardly believe that Flossie had actually chosen him.
Although getting married was no longer a big deal these days as you could always get a divorce if you regretted it, Flossie had already been married once, so if she divorced again, it would have a significant impact on her.
“Although I admire you and want to form a family with you… I don’t want to cause you more pain.”
Mr. Q held her shoulders and said sincerely.
“Don’t worry, you’re not causing me more pain. In fact, you’re saving me. Thank you… for saving me!”
Flossie took a deep breath and embraced the man.
It was not easy for her to make this decision, but now that she had, she would not regret it!
“I’m glad to hear that.”
From behind his unique mask, Mr. Q looked at Flossie with complicated eyes. He said meaningfully, “Remember, you made this choice yourself, so you can’t regret it no matter what, okay?”
“No regrets.”
Flossie nodded again to assure him. She left herself no way back and bet everything she had on this decision so that she could have a fresh start.
Regardless of whether the ending would be a happy one or a terrible one, she would have no regrets!
“You’re aware of my situation, I presume? I’ve sworn to never take off the mask, so the way we obtain the certificate will be a little different.”
“How so?”
“Give me your documents. I have special connections that will let us obtain a marriage certificate directly.”
“But…”
Flossie was a bit dumbfounded. “Are you really gonna wear this mask forever? Even after we get married? Even when… even when we sleep together?”
“My face is disfigured. It’s a humiliation for me. I won’t let anyone see it. If you mind, we can end the relationship right now.”
Mr. Q was adamant. There was no room for negotiation.
Flossie knew how important the mask was to him. He would not let anyone touch it. Therefore, she was not that insistent. She said casually, “It’s fine if you don’t want to take it off. I’m not marrying you for your face anyway.”
If it was a handsome face she was after, she would have married Halston. He was probably the most handsome man in the entire Beach City.
“How surprising. You’re that tolerant of your man’s behavior?”
Mr. Q responded to Flossie’s open-mindedness with a weird question.
The atmosphere in the car became a bit strange.
Mr. Q moved closer. His thin lips curled into a strange smile as he asked, “Are you sure you’re willing to sleep with me, a man whose face is ruined?”
“I…”
Flossie was a bit embarrassed and a bit uncomfortable. She kept moving back, clearly resisting Mr. Q’s approach.
In fact, she did not like it when any man got close to her. Like a hedgehog, she had a natural defense against men, even if the man was the “husband” she was about to marry.
This may have to do with the way she was brought up. Her grandfather’s training meant that the wall she put up around herself would always be thicker than what ordinary people had. It was difficult for a man to breach.
Except for… Halston, that bastard!
Damn it, why was she thinking of that guy again?!
Today was the day she would get married again. Why was she thinking of her scumbag ex-husband? Something must be wrong with her brain!
“See? You resist me so much, but you still want to marry me. You’re such a contradictory woman.”
Mr. Q stopped teasing her and returned to his original position, maintaining a “safe” distance between them.
