Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Professor Wood, however, did not go along with Flossie’s wish this time. Instead, he said, “This is a secret between us two, so it’s not that convenient. But we’ve finished talking now. I’m going to go cook something delicious for you. Why don’t you two take Jane out for a walk?”
“Huh? But…”
Flossie was about to say that its “not that convenient“.
But Halston was faster than her. He said expressionlessly, “I heard that there’s a famous place called the Sophora Road in BC
University. I don’t mind going out for a walk.”
“That’s right. The Sophora Road is a famous landmark of BC University. The sophora flowers happen to be blossoming now too. When the wind blows, the white petals fall like snow. I remember there’s a legend about the Sophora Road…”
Professor Wood looked at Halston, then at Flossie. “It’s said that when a man and a woman walk along the Sophora Road holding hands, they’ll grow old together. Sophia and I, as well as many of the lecturers living in the specialist residential area, are loving couples. Maybe it’s because we walked along the Sophora Road every day.”
Flossie said, “Wow, that’s amazing. But that means you have to be careful who you walk down that road with. What if you have to grow old with a man you hate? That would be terrible…”
“How scary. I think I’ll take Jane out to play!”
She deliberately glared at Halston with a disgusted face on the way out.
Halston: “…”
He pursed his thin lips, his eyes murderous!
That woman was clearly insinuating something about him just now. How dare she?
Professor Wood could not help but laugh. He told Halston, “See? I told you. Flossie is a mischievous girl. All those years she was married to you, she had been suppressing her own nature a little…”
Halston kept quiet.
He thought “a little” was an understatement. She had become a completely different person after the divorce!
So much so that he sometimes wondered if she had multiple personality disorder.
“Jane, let’s go out to play!”
The two girls went out happily like sisters.
BC University was still the same as Flossie remembered it. It was both artistic and scholarly.
When Flossie was studying here, she was a legend due to her outstanding appearance and genius–like learning ability.
But to everyone’s surprise, the legendary figure chose to marry into a rich family when she was shining the brightest. And thus. a rising star in the physics world fell. It was such a pity…
The sophora petals fell on Flossie’s face and hair. It was beautiful and romantic.
Flossie grabbed one and lowered her head to smell it as sunlight caressed her fair porcelain face. She looked so beautiful, like there was a filter on her.
She looked like the lead actress in a Korean drama. With a sweet smile on her face, she gently blew petal away.
“It’s snowing! It’s snowing!”
Jane danced and spun with her arms spread wide amidst the falling flower petals. She caught sight of Halston walking towards them.
“Uncle Halston, Uncle Halston! Over here! Let’s play together!”
Jane dashed over to Halston, took the man’s hand and pulled him towards Flossie.
“Why are you following us?”
Flossie suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
Had he been quietly walking behind them the whole time?
Then he would have seen her acting like a Korean drama’s lead actress just now. How embarrassing!
Halston’s handsome face was emotionless. He coldly said, “Does this road belong to you? Why can’t I come here?”
Halston’s words rendered Flossie speechless.
This guy was so annoying!
Flossie crossed her arms and raised her chin somewhat proudly. “Actually, this road… was made for me!”
“?”
Halston’s eyes were full of doubt.
“Don’t believe me?”
Flossie casually grabbed a passing student and asked, “Hi! Do you know the history behind the Sophora Road?”
“Of course I do!”
That student was very enthusiastic and started to talk endlessly.
“Years ago, this road…”
“Years ago, this road was built by the Scholarship Foundation to honor the legendary figure of BC University and the goddess in the heart of countless BC University students, Flossie Ellsworth. Apparently, the road was supposed to be called the Flossie Ellsworth Road at first, but Flossie felt that it was too high–profile, so it was named the Sophora Road instead…”
The college students got more and more excited as he spoke. In his narrative, Flossie was like a mythical goddess.
“You probably don’t know how amazing Flossie Ellsworth was. The experimental group she led won numerous international physics competitions. Some of the academic papers she published in international journals even made it into the textbooks of foreign universities…”
“Ahem!”
To Flossie’s surprise, she still had quite the reputation in BC University after all these years. The boy’s praise of her was making her feel a bit embarrassed. She quickly stopped his gushing and said, “Alright, alright, we get it, she’s incredible!”
“She really was. Unfortunately, she has bad judgment!”
The student sighed with a face full of regret. “During her peak years, rather than focusing on her career, she actually quit to get married. What’s worse, the person she married was Halston Guajardo, a guy who anyone could tell was a scum with one look. My friends and I never believed that the marriage would last.”
“As expected… he cheated on her. I heard that they’re now divorced. I sincerely hope that Flossie Ellsworth can leave the suffering behind her and reach another peak in her life!”
