“W-What do you want?” She could not move at all given her injury, so it would be easy for him if he wanted to do anything to her.
“What do you think I’ll do?” Halston crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair, smiling wickedly.
“How would I know…” Flossie tried to get her phone and warned him coldly, “Get out now or I’ll call somebody.” “Give up.
You can’t reach anybody at this time because I’ve stopped them all.” Halston laughed at Flossie’s naivety.
Of course, he would have ways to stop others from coming since he had come to Flossie’s ward at this hour.
“Yeah, you’re right.” Flossie put her phone down and laid back on the bed with a sigh, then closed her eyes.
”Go ahead if you want to take revenge.
You can break my neck, and I won’t even be able to stop you.” Halston frowned unhappily and scoffed, “Do you really think I’m that wicked?” “No, I didn’t say you’re wicked…” Realizing he meant her no harm, Flossie opened her eyes and glanced at him.
“But we all know how vindictive you are, and you’ll never allow yourself to suffer any losses.
It’s only fair for you to want to break my neck.” “Oh, so being fair is important to you now?” His expression was unclear under the dim light, and he gracefully uncrossed his legs and moved closer to her.
As his fingers traced her neck, he murmured, “Your neck is so slim; it’ll be very easy if I want to break it.” “You should think this through.
I’m sure you’re more than happy to break my neck but it’ll be troublesome to get rid of the mess later…” Flossie could feel his cold fingers on her warm skin, but she didn’t feel scared.
On the contrary, a long-lost familiarity gripped her heart.
They were once a married couple, and he had touched every part of her body.
Her body knew his touch, and wasn’t afraid of it.
Halston paused as he held her neck, overwhelmed by a confusing wave of nostalgia.
Excitement surged through him the moment he touched her smooth skin, and for reasons he couldn’t understand, his own body reacted with an instinctive desire.
He slowly slid his fingers down her collarbone until he reached her collar…
“Halston, stop! Don’t tell me you’d take liberties with a woman who can’t even move!” Flossie gasped and swallowed nervously, her heart pounding in her chest.
Halston’s hungry gaze dropped to her exposed skin, but he was not so lecherous to do anything to Flossie for real.
It was the first time he had seen her so flustered, and it intrigued him.
“Well, I’m nota gentleman.
Being a gentleman in this world means being passive and someone else’ backup plan B.
Do you think I’ll settle for being someone’s backup plan?” “What the hell is all that? We’re not even close, so what’s with all this talk about being someone’s backup plan? You’re Halston, the mighty president of Guajardo Enterprise, so you shouldn’t do anything dishonorable while I’m vulnerable like this, right?”
Flossie held the bedsheet tightly and purposely criticized him to make him regain his wits because she was afraid that he would take liberties with her.
Unfortunately, Halston’s wits helped him see through her trick.
He murmured teasingly, “You’ve got me all wrong.
I’m not a gentleman, and I am petty enough to use any means necessary to get what I want.
I’d be a fool if I didn’t enjoy the grand feast laid out before me.” After that, he purposely slid his fingers across her collarbone and unbuttoned the first button of her hospital gown.
More of her skin was exposed, and Halston’s gaze darkened with desire.
“Halston, I’ll never forgive you if you don’t stop this right now!” Flossie exclaimed, her voice high-pitched with panic.
“Weren’t we a couple in the past? Although I seem to have forgotten everything about you, we must have been intimate given our relationship.
Don’t you think you’re overreacting?” Halston said casually, offering her a lazy smirk.
“So what if we were once a couple? Does that give you permission to do whatever you want?” Flossie snapped at him, wanting to kick him.
Gritting her teeth, she said, “You’re going to get married.
Can’t you be a gentleman, at least for your fiancee’s sake?” Her words instantly killed his excitement, and he straightened his back, scowling at her unhappily.
“Why do you care so much about my relationship?” “I’m just hoping someone can discipline you and make you stop harming others,” Flossie heaved a sigh and answered grumpily.
“But you’re a mother with two kids.
Didn’t you do the same?” Displeasure filled Halston’s voice as he spoke.
Previously, he felt that he might date Flossie after ending things with Seraphina, but after finding out that she was a mother with two children, he figured it was impossible.
It was not like he hated the children, but he felt she must have loved that man deeply since she was willing to give birth to his children.
No man could tolerate being the second choice for a woman, including Halston.
“when did I do what you did?” His words baffled Flossie.
“You harmed me, didn’t you? How can you behave like that with other men if you have kids? Justin is always by your side, isn’t he? Don’t tell me they’re his kids,” Halston demanded, sounding peeved..
Flossie was dumbfounded by his reasoning.
When did this man become so dumb? Clearly, his brain damage was pretty serious.
“Yeah, they’re Justin’s kids.
If not, why would he always stay by my side? Can you stop pestering me now that you’ve learned about my relationship?” Flossie complained, wanting this crazy and foolish man to leave.
The atmosphere in the silent ward became tense, and after a while, Halston finally bit out, ’I’ve got to hand it to you-you had two kids secretly. I’m definitely a failure compared to you.”
‘Thank you for your praise. You should hurry up and marry Miss Murphy so you can have lots of kids and catch up with me.”
Flossie didn’t care if he misunderstood her because she wanted to cut him out of her life.
“I don’t want kids,” Halston said icily.
“Why? Haven’t you had enough fun already? Are you worried that you’ll be bound by the kids?” Flossie glanced at him while sighing. “Don’t have kids if you don’t want to-they’re a big responsibility. You need to love them wholeheartedly and give up a lot for them, which might be tough for a self centered person like you who likes their freedom. Your kids will suffer if that happens.”
As an experienced person, she was well aware of what a child meant to an adult. An adult had to sacrifice a lot to raise a child, and they had to shower the child with selfless love. She had gone through a lot of difficulties while raising Adie and Abby, and she would have stopped caring for them if not for her love for them.
“Hmph! So, you considered it thoroughly before you had your kids? And you love them deeply?” Halston demanded, glaring at Flossie.
“No, I didn’t think about it that much,” Flossie answered honestly. “They were a surprise, and I actually wanted to have an abortion at first.
However, the doctor said it was rare to have mixed-gender twins, and it would be hard for me to get pregnant again after the abortion. That was why I took a risk and gave birth to them. They didn’t come to this world because of love, but I love them very much now. No one can replace them in my heart.”
“Does it mean you had Justin’s children out of wedlock and he didn’t want to take care of them? And you raised the kids alone?” Halston grew more curious about the origins of the children and started bombarding her with questions.
