Chapter 134 – A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Halston didn’t answer her, and just walked towards the bar’s exit.

’W-Wait for me!” Shirley grabbed her purse and mustered the courage to follow him. From her perspective, Halston was more than a knight in shining armor. Even if there was a sliver of hope, she’d grab onto it tightly and not let go.

The two of them walked out one after the other, and everyone else was in shock.

Even Xavier, who had been unconditionally supporting Halston, couldn’t resist complaining. “Damn. He didn’t drink much today, so what the hell is he thinking? Does he really have feelings for that girl? That girl really does look like his ex-wife. He’s leaving the real thing behind and going for the fake version… What’s wrong with him?”

Christopher glanced in the direction where Halston and Shirley had gone, then looked at Flossie. A playful smile appeared on his face. “Halston is serious this time.”

‘Serious? About that girl?” Xavier shook his head. “I don’t think so!”

Christopher chuckled. “I didn’t say he’s serious about that girl.”

’This is so lame. Today’s supposed to be your bachelor party, so why did Halston leave on his own? Even if he does have feelings for that girl, can’t he just resist them for a while?” Xavier asked.

A man and a woman meet at a bar, and they then leave together. Even a fool knows what’s going to happen next.

Liam hurled his glass onto the floor and snarled, “Halston is a heartless scumbag! He’s playing with someone’s feelings. He’ll get his karma soon enough!”

Liam returned to Flossie’s side with his head hung low. “Sorry, Boss… I didn’t avenge you. I wasn’t expecting him to be such a jerk!”

Flossie didn’t react to his words. In fact, she smiled as she shuffled the tarot cards she was holding. It seemed like she didn’t care about what happened earlier at all.

Boss, don’t be sad. You’re divorced already. He can find someone new, and so can you. If he’s going for someone younger, you can go for someone younger too!”

Flossie didn’t say anything, and slowly placed the shuffled cards on the table. She then randomly picked one and smiled. “The sun card… It represents freedom and success. My luck is about to change, so there’s nothing to be sad about.”

Liam and Leia looked at each other. They felt sorry for Flossie. When a girl started believing in superstitions and mystic arts, that meant she had been hurt badly and was hoping to heal. Although Flossie appeared to be very carefree lately, she was probably struggling on the inside…

“I’m tired. Let’s go home!” Flossie said suddenly and stood up.

When she walked past Christopher’s table, he called out to her. “Ms.

Ellsworth, do you have a minute?”

Flossie stopped walking and turned to look at him.

Christopher smiled apologetically. “Halston is the emotional equivalent of a rock when it comes to relationships. He doesn’t know how to express how he truly feels, so please don’t mind his childish behavior.”

Flossie shrugged. “It doesn’t matter. We have nothing to do with each other now, so he can do whatever he wants. I don’t care.”

Christopher shook his head and didn’t say anything.

After that, he retrieved an invite from his bag. “Cecilia and I are getting married tomorrow. I wanted to ask Halston to pass this to you, but it seems like a better idea for me to personally hand it to you. I hope you’ll come tomorrow.”

Flossie was a little surprised. She and Christopher had only met on two or three occasions, so she wasn’t expecting an invitation to such a private event.

However, after thinking about it, the Jacobs family was very powerful in the realm of politics. Being on good terms with them would be very helpful for the Ellsworth family’s future developments.

Flossie accepted the invite with a grin. “Thank you for inviting me. I’ll make sure to show up in style.”

After Flossie left, Christopher grabbed hold of Julian. “Kid, you’ve got some explaining to do. Why are you so close to your aunt-in-law?”

“Didn’t you hear? They’re already divorced. She’s not my aunt-in-law anymore,” Julian answered casually.

‘ Don’t mess around. Your uncle is serious this time,” Christopher said sternly.

“Really? I couldn’t tell.” Julian’s arrogant demeanor was very much like Halston’s. “I already gave him a chance. He didn’t appreciate it, and he even made things worse. He can’t blame me for giving it a shot now.”

Over the years, Julian had met all kinds of people through his carefree way of living, but he hadn’t met someone as interesting as Flossie for a very long time…

Julian wasn’t sure if his feelings for Flossie were romantic, but he certainly was interested in her.

Halston looked coldly at Shirley. He didn’t answer her.

Shirley realized she had overstepped a boundary, and she frantically apologized. ’I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked you that. I think you might find me useful in the future, so… can I have your number?”

This was the bravest thing that Shirley, who had been naive and conservative for many years, had done.

Her careful attitude reminded Halston of Flossie when he met her four years ago, and his heart softened a little. “Give me your phone.’

“O-Okay!” Shirley quickly handed him her phone.

The two stood very close to each other in front of the taxi, and to anyone watching, it seemed like a very intimate scene.

At the same time, Flossie and Liam walked out and happened to see this.

Flossie felt her heart ache. She wanted to pretend she didn’t see anything and leave right away, but coincidentally, Halston looked up, and their eyes met.

His gaze was cold as usual, but there seemed to be an aura of superiority about him. He didn’t feel awkward or bad at all, and this infuriated Flossie for some reason.

Impulsively, Flossie wrapped her hand around Liam’s arm and asked him sweetly, ‘Where are we going next? I think the hotel next to the sea we went to last time wasn’t too bad. Should we go there again?”

’Umm…’ Liam didn’t dare move at all.

Was Flossie really willing? If she was, there was no way they could maintain their ‘pure’ relationship!

Halston’s expression became several degrees colder. He went even further by opening the taxi door. “Go to this hotel,” he said to the driver.

After that, he and Shirley got into the same taxi, and the car drove past Flossie.

Needless to say, Flossie knew what would happen between them next… She stood still for a long time and didn’t say anything. Her gaze was fixated on the taxi until it disappeared from view.

Liam knew Flossie was sad. “Boss, I really do know a hotel by the sea. Would you like me to take you there for a walk?” He asked carefully.

‘No, thanks.” Flossie pulled away from Liam and smiled bitterly. “I’m letting him hurt me for the last time. Once Ms. Lee wins that case, I’ll leave for good. He won’t be able to hurt me anymore.”
