Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Liam wasn’t sure if he could win against him, so how could a naive and pure woman like
Lei?
“Liam, I told you. Xavier is different from those bad guys. He loves me very much, and he deserves my love. You don’t like him because you think that he’s on Halston’s side. You just assume that your enemy’s friend is your enemy too, don’t you?”
“I’m not that petty…” Liam mumbled, embarrassed that she had got it right. Liam scratched his nose then scoffed, “You claimed that he loves you very much, but are you sure it’s not just wishful thinking? He said he’s a playboy and doesn’t care about others, but you fawn over him like a fangirl. You drive me mad!”
“Hmph, you won’t understand. It’s because he’s too proud and can’t bring himself to admit that he loves me. Let me tell you a secret-his phone is full of photos he secretly took of me.
He even told me that I am his bedtime dessert. Don’t you see how much he loves me-”
“He took your photos secretly?” Liam’s handsome face twisted in rage. ’Oh, so he’s not just a playboy, he’s a pervert too. How can you date such garbage?”
‘ What? You’re so mean! I don’t want to talk to you.” Leia threw Liam’s backpack on the floor and stormed away furiously.
‘ Well, luckily for me, I don’t want to talk to you either!” Liam’s legs were longer, so he walked faster than her. He purposely bumped into her, making her stumble.
‘ Liam, how old are you? Ugh, you’re such a child!” Leia rolled her eyes and whacked his shoulder.
This was how they behaved when they were kids, chasing and hitting each other. They made quite a scene, but it was already late at night, so the people of the Osborne family were all asleep. The spacious Osborne Mansion was silent and calm.
Leia grinned mischievously and pushed Liam onto the sofa to beat him up. However, she was too weak, so Liam defeated her easily.
“Are you going to apologise? You know I’m right, you little witch!” He demanded as he tickled her, his eyes gleaming with mirth.
“Haha! Liam, you sly fox! Let me go!”
“Tell me you’re sorry and that you won’t be a kiss-ass first.”
“No, I won’t. I… Hahaha! Ah, Flossie, what are you doing here?” The second Leia said that,
Liam immediately sat down and leaned back in a casual posture, quickly smoothing down his hair.
“Pfft! Looks like you’re a bigger kiss-ass than me, brother dearest!” Leia burst out laughing.
“How dare you fool your brother! It’s over for you!1
“No!”
Leia ran upstairs swiftly, all while joking around with him. “Say, Liam, you went on a little pity party trip and left for almost a whole year. But look at you; you still haven’t moved on from her. Your little trip was such a waste; your heart, destined to stay with Flossie all along…”
“Nonsense, I’ve moved on long ago.’
“Sure… and yet you still get nervous hearing her name.”
Suddenly, Leia remembered something and quickly became serious.” Though you did come back just in time. Azure Group is in shambles, they’re being targeted, and H Group is leading this attack. Besides, Flossie and that Halston guy aren’t even talking to each other, either. It’s your time to win her back.”
Liam frowns as well. “That’s exactly why I came back. Boss has two kids and a business to run. She can’t juggle all of that all the time.”
“Right? I had to step up and help too. But I was too inexperienced and offended some people, I almost ended up in jail after being framed too!” Leia exclaimed. She was reminded of her time handling business for Flossie during these past six months. It was truly a bitter memory.
‘Tsk, I’m really not cut out to be a lady boss. I’m more suited to be laying around wasting air!’
“It’s good to have you back. Azure Group is saved! Let’s fight back and make sure they eat their own sh*t!”
“You’re unbelievable.” Liam couldn’t help but find his sister amusing.
However, it only made his heart more determined to stay by Flossie and assist her as much as he could.
The next day, Geronimo and his wife were so excited to learn that their precious son had finally returned that they burst into tears of joy. 1
“Oh, I didn’t know you still knew your way back home, you punk! Don’t you know how much we longed for you to return to us?”
“Exactly! I thought you would never come back! I missed you so much!” Madame Osborne embraced Liam, wailing as if he had just died in her arms.
“Hey, is this what people call separation anxiety? I just went on a trip, I even called you guys from time to time! You don’t have to act like this!”
“What do you mean by that? You were all alone out there in this dangerous world! Don’t you know your mother would worry about you, you naughty boy!” Madame Osborne slapped
Liam’s back repeatedly, expressing both love and annoyance toward her son.
Leia was leaning against the stair railing on the second floor, gloating at her brother’s demise. He didn’t even have to do anything to get beaten up like this.
“Alright, alright. It’s good to see you back.” Geronimo let out a long sigh.” Now that you’re here, I’ll be retiring as well. I’ll entrust you with the entire family business, I’m sure you’re more than capable of handling it.’
The old man then patted on Liam’s shoulder, showing recognition towards him.
“I don’t expect anything else from you at this point. I just hope you keep a clear head and don’t involve yourself in anything that might bring harm,” Geronimo said, then shot Leia a dirty glare. “And definitely don’t be like your sister. She’s out there doing free labor.” 1
The old man had always coddled the two siblings, granting them whatever they wished.
However, whenever it came to Flossie, he showed no leniency whatsoever.
“Sorry Dad, I only came back this time to help Miss Ellsworth.” Liam placed his hands in his pockets, speaking in a nonchalant tone.
Leia weakly raised her hand as well. “Same.”
Geronimo, however, felt as if he was about to have a heart attack. “Darling, get me my pills!”
Flossie was also overjoyed to learn that Liam had returned to Beach City.
She even went out of her way to prepare a grand banquet at a five-star hotel in the next city so that they could welcome him back. Her brother, Chase, and some of the founding members and leaders of the Azure Group were invited too.
The luxurious banquet hall was decorated to specifically incorporate many of Liam’s favorite elements, such as superheroes, sports cars, beautiful women, and so on.
Quinton was wearing a black suit, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and leaning against the piano, watching as people walked by with a bored expression.
However, he was the one who stood out the most. With the unique black feather mask on his face, it was quite hard to not get people to turn their heads.
He wasn’t exactly interested in this banquet. If not for his sister’s pestering, along with the mention that the main character of this party was very important to her, he would not have attended.
As the organizer of the banquet, Flossie had her hands rather full doing the preparations.
When she finally had a chance to rest, she noticed Quinton leaning against the piano, which made her giggle.
“Quinton, if you’re really that bored, just play some games with Chase and the others later!”
She said as she walked towards the man, a small dessert in hand.
Quinton turned back to Flossie, his eyes under the mask revealing a look of praise, “Tsk tsk tsk. As expected of my own sister. Just look at you; you’re like a goddess.”
“Haha, that’s what I like to hear, Quinton. Keep going, keep praising me.” Flossie smiled sweetly.
The woman was wearing a gorgeous silver bodycon mermaid dress, which enunciated her beautiful and luscious figure. The thin straps made it look light, and the bareback design put her lovely fair on full display.
