Chapter 129 – A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

“Of course he’d be disgusted!” Xavier uttered as if he’d gone through a similar experience. “Halston was forced to marry his wife, so of course he wouldn’t be happy…”

“Christopher, it’s different for you and Cecelia. You two are getting married because you love each other. You’ve been through so much as a couple, and you can finally be together now. I’m sure you’ll be very happy. Don’t you look forward to your life as a married couple?” Xavier asked curiously.

Halston and Christopher looked at each other and said nothing. They smiled bitterly and clinked their glasses together.

“Yeah. I’m marrying Cecilia out of love, so I should be happy. Halston and Ms. Ellsworth are getting divorced because they don’t love each other, so he should be happy too, but Why do we both find it so hard to be happy?”

Christopher’s question instantly killed the mood.

Xavier couldn’t resist letting out a sigh. “I admire you two for even wanting to talk about whether you love someone. I’ve never faced this kind of issue. I don’t love women enough to give up my freedom. However, if I lose that darned case, I’ll have no freedom to speak of!”

After saying that, he downed his glass and clapped his hands. “Alright, alright. We need to stop moping around. Why don’t we play something fun?”

“Like what?” Christopher perked up.

“Let’s play a drinking game. Whoever loses will have to accept whatever punishment we impose. What do you think?”

“Boring.” Halston said indifferently. Clearly, he wasn’t interested.

However, something suddenly occurred to him. “Is it a counting game?” Halston asked.

“Sure. I can play any drinking game.” Xavier shrugged.

“In that case, let’s play that.” Halston suddenly seemed eager to play. Truthfully, he couldn’t accept that he had lost to Flossie every time they played. He wanted to use this opportunity to find out whether he was really bad at it, or if that woman was just too good at it.

The three of them began playing the game.

Halston was a workaholic and rarely came out to play, so unsurprisingly, he was the worst at the game, and Christopher and Xavier easily beat him.

Halston kept his word and waited for their punishment.

“I’ll go first!” Xavier exclaimed. “Halston, I want you to call your wife right now, and talk to her for at least ten minutes.”

“Nope.” Halston instantly refused.

However, Xavier wouldn’t take no for an answer. “It’s only a phone call. You’re a coward if you can’t even do this much!”

Feeling triggered, Halston took his phone out and dialed Flossie’s number. After a while, he realized Flossie had actually blocked his number – his call couldn’t even go through.

“Hahaha!” Xavier and Christopher burst into laughter. This was what they wanted to see.

“Alright. My turn.” Christopher finally managed to stop laughing. “Halston, don’t worry. I’ll make this one easy…”

He looked at the bar’s entrance. “Ask the second person who walks in to dance with you. What do you say?”

Halston raised his brows. “That’s easy.”

All he had to do was dance with a stranger. He believed any man or woman would accept his request.

The first person who walked in was a handsome guy.

After that, a beautiful woman in a white dress slowly walked in

The girl had a pretty face, with big, soulful eyes. She looked like a college student who was new to the scene.

Under the three men’s watchful gazes, the girl walked to the bar counter and sat down.

Xavier patted Halston on the shoulder. “Halston, you sure are lucky that girl’s really pretty. Meanwhile, my luck is so bad that I only ever encounter large men or women in their fifties. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go dance with her.”

Christopher nodded. “She is. She reminds me a little of Ms. Ellsworth, actually, but with less bite. Ask her to dance with you. I doubt she’ll say no.”

Halston pursed his lips and didn’t say anything as he stared at the girl in the white dress.

She sat at the bar alone, seemingly waiting for someone. Her anxious demeanor suggested it was her first time in a place like this.

Her innocence certainly reminded Halston of Flossie the Flossie of the past.

Halston stood up and walked towards the girl.

Due to his imposing aura, the girl noticed him from the very beginning. The closer he got, the more nervous she felt. Her cheeks were flushed, and she quickly averted her gaze and drank her beverage.

“Are you here alone?” Halston asked indifferently as he stood in front of her.

“Umm.. Are you talking to me?” The girl met his gaze shyly and then looked around. She couldn’t believe that such a handsome man was flirting with her.

Halston raised his brows. He found her response rather adorable – like Flossie when they first met. “Are you hoping that’s not the case?”

“No, that’s not it. I did hope…” She blushed, then shook her head. “What I mean to say is. I’m honored I caught your eye!”

“In that case, will you dance with me?” Halston held out his hand expectantly.

“O–Of course!” Clearly, the girl was surprised by the attention she was receiving. She shyly stood up and placed her hand in Halston’s.

Christopher and Xavier watched in admiration as Halston and the girl walked to the dance floor.

“If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time Halston flirted with a girl. Looks like he’s succeeded.” Christopher said in disbelief.

“Obviously! If I had his looks, I could easily do the same!” Xavier said excitedly.

“Christopher, you won’t believe this, but Halston actually asked me to teach him how to pursue women. I taught him a bunch of theories. but it looks like he didn’t need any of those things. I guess I just made a fool of myself!” Xavier added with a laugh.

Christopher looked at the two people on the dance floor. He smiled. “That might not be the case… After all, didn’t he get blocked by a certain someone?”

“That’s true. Halston’s wife seems to have changed completely. She used to be humble and submissive, but now she’s the one messing with him. The tables have turned!” Xavier smirked, his eyes gleaming.

While the two were talking, Flossie, Liam, and Leia walked in. They seemed very happy.

“The ambience here is good. It isn’t too loud, and the singers are good. I’m sure we’ll have a good time!” Liam said enthusiastically as he led the way.

He frequently came to Sporadic Stars Bar to relax. Since it didn’t open its doors to just anyone, people who frequented this place were mostly all socialites or big shots. It was a good place to hang out.

Flossie also happened to be wearing a white dress. She didn’t have much makeup on, and her hair was brushed to one side. Despite appearing innocent, there was something very alluring about her.
