Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
It was getting late. Liam and Leia wanted to send Flossie home, but she insisted she didn’t want them to. She said goodbye to them, and quickly left. She didn’t want to go home, and she didn’t want to talk. She didn’t want to deal with anyone. All she wanted was a quiet place where she could be by herself.
She wanted to go somewhere she could let out her true emotions, where she didn’t have to pretend to be strong…
She had to admit that she was feeling really hurt. The thought that Halston might be sleeping with that girl right now made it hard for her to breathe. It felt like someone was driving a knife into her heart and twisting it.
Halston had never fallen for her despite being married for four years, but now, he had fallen for a fake version of her at first sight!
It wasn’t fair!
She walked aimlessly until she somehow arrived at the shopping mall she went to with Halston and Jane the other day. Coincidentally, the movie she’d been wanting to watch, Soul Travel, was still available in the cinema.
Flossie didn’t hesitate. She bought the earliest show and silently walked into the dark cinema hall. Since it was a midnight show, there were very few people there, all of whom sat sparsely across the hall.
Flossie suddenly felt a sense of security she’d not felt for a long time.
Where else could a person cry to their heart’s content than a cinema hall where nobody knew them?
Soul Travel was about an unsuccessful pianist who accidentally died just as his dream was about to come true. He met Soul Number 22, who hated life, and they helped each other find the meaning of life. It was a story of mutual redemption…
The screen emitted a gentle glow. The graphics were beautiful, and the story was heart-warming.
While watching, Flossie silently began to weep. It wasn’t because the story was particularly touching or that Halston hurt her… She just felt like crying at that moment.
According to the books she read, pregnant women tended to be very emotional due to fluctuating hormones, so it was very easy for them to get upset. Flossie believed she was going through this phase, and so, she didn’t want to hold it in. She began sobbing profusely…
She gently placed her hands on her belly. ‘Hang in there, my little ones. I’ll be able to leave with you very soon!’
After crying, Flossie felt much better. Her mood lifted significantly.
Coincidentally, the movie had also ended. The dark cinema hall suddenly became bright again, and several members of the audience stood up.
When Flossie saw Halston standing up several rows in front, she was stunned.
Wasn’t he supposed to be sleeping with a college girl in a hotel? Why was he here?
Flossie was afraid he might notice her, so she intentionally slowed down and turned the other way.
However, it was too late.
When Halston made a turn at the corner, he happened to turn around. His cold gaze met Flossie’s, and he didn’t seem surprised.
Suddenly, everything became still around them. They both looked awkward, as if they’d been caught red-handed.
“You…” Halston tried his best to appear cold, and cleared his throat. “Didn’t you go to the beach with your boyfriend? Why are you here?’
‘Oh, about that…’ Flossie quickly thought about her reply. “Who’d go to the beach at night? We postponed it.’
Immediately after that, she shot back, “What about you? Aren’t you supposed to be having fun with that college girl? Why are you here?”
“It’s too late. We postponed it too.” Halston scratched his nose and mumbled.
Flossie wanted to call him out on his stupid excuse, but resisted the urge. After all, her excuse wasn’t any better.
They both knew the other person was lying through their teeth, but neither of them called the other’s bluff.
People in the cinema hall gradually left. Halston and Flossie kept a small distance from each other and walked behind the rest. Although neither of them spoke, something seemed to have melted away. They no longer felt as tense around each other.
After leaving the cinema hall, it seemed they would soon part ways.
Halston lifted his wrist and looked at his watch. “It’s still early. Do you want to get supper?”
‘Huh?’ Flossie was confused. He just said he had given up on having fun with that college girl because it was too late, so why was he saying that it was early now?
Flossie felt that he must have an ulterior motive!
Seeing how she wasn’t replying, Halston felt slightly annoyed and muttered coldly, “It’s fine, I have other things to do anyway.”
“No! I’m free!” Flossie instantly blurted out, then inwardly kicked herself for being too eager.
She awkwardly brushed her hair to the side of her face and stammered, “I mean… I’m actually really busy, but it’s not like I don’t have time for supper…
Halston felt rather amused with her bashful attitude, smiling to himself as he thought, ‘She’s actually kind of cute when she’s like this.’
The two exited the cinema and headed straight to a famous place known fortheir street food.
“What would you like?” Halston turned around, asking the woman standing behind him.
“Anything, just make sure it’s not too savory.”
‘Did I hear you right?” Halston frowned. “I thought you used to love savory foods. What changed?”
Flossie naturally couldn’t tell him that she was pregnant and had to monitor her diet, so she replied casually, ’People change all the time. What’s so weird about changing taste when people can change their partners?”
She was obviously trying to describe her feelings towards the man right now.
However, Halston did not bother to continue the topic, pointing towards a nicely furnished restaurant. “Then we can have some minestrone soup. It’s not that savory, and it’s good for digestion too.”
Flossie nodded. “That does sound nice.”
The weather was rather breezy, after all, so it would be nice to warm up with a fresh bowl of minestrone soup.
The two then proceeded to choose a seat next to the window, sitting opposite each other. None of them spoke for quite some time, which made the atmosphere a little awkward.
“Umm… Would you like to have anything else? Maybe some milk tea?” Halston broke the silence, showing rare gentlemanly behavior.
Flossie waved dismissively, speaking politely. “No need. I ordered soup anyway, drinking too much liquid might be bad for my stomach.”
