Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
She was accustomed to all kinds of delicacies, but Flossie’s lemon chicken feet had truly made her fall in love!
“If I had known that your lemon chicken feet were so delicious, I wouldn’t have let you and Halston divorce. Why didn’t you tell me you’re so skillful?”
Francine wished she could eat all the chicken feet in Flossie’s plate.
Flossie did not expect that her difficult ex-mother-in-law would be won over by an ordinary plate of lemon chicken feet.
Unfortunately, it was too late now…
“Do you have more of this? I’d like to bring some back for Halston.”
Francine asked Flossie seriously.
“I have a bit more. If you want, I’ll pack it for you.”
Flossie said generously.
It felt good when someone liked the food she made, not to mention the person was the difficult mother- in-law she tried very hard to please back in the days.
Francine took the lemon chicken feet Flossie packed for her and left happily.
On the way out, she encountered a handsome man who was getting off a bus.
Her intuition told her that this man was not that simple.
“Who are you looking for?”
Francine stopped the man and asked snobbishly.
Haze looked Francine up and down, then smiled and said, “Flossie Ellsworth. I heard she’s currently staying here.”
“You’re looking for Flossie?”
Francine immediately got defensive. She asked aggressively, “Why are you looking for my daughter-in- law? What’s your relationship with her?”
“Your daughter-in-law?”
A playful expression crept onto Haze’s handsome face.
So the well-dressed woman in front of him was Francine Milford, Flossie’s former mother-in-law.
“As far as I know, Miss Ellsworth is currently single. It’s a bit inappropriate for you to claim to be her mother-in-law like this.”
“What do you know?”
Francine raised her chin high and said, ’If she’s my daughter-in-law for a day, she’s my daughter-in-law for a lifetime. Until the day she remarries, no one can replace my position as the “mother-in-law”.”
Haze put his hands in his pockets and chuckled. “In that case, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. I’m actually here to take Miss Ellsworth to meet my parents. If everything goes well, she’ll have a new mother-in-law soon.”
Francine already had an impending sense of crisis before this, but after hearing what Haze said, the sense of crisis became even stronger. She immediately interrogated him, “Who are you? Who are your parents? What’s your relationship with Flossie?”
Before Haze could answer, she added confidently, “Do you know how much Flossie loves my son? Do you know how much she yearns to be Mrs. Guajardo again? It’s only a matter of time before she remarries my son. There’s no way she would go meet your parents with you.”
“Oh, really?”
Haze raised his eyebrows and smiled even wider. “Should we go ask her right now how much she loves your son and how much she yearns to be Mrs. Guajardo again?”
“Ahem!”
Francine immediately pursed her lips and said, somewhat guiltily, “There’s no need forthat. Let’s wait and see what happens.”
If they really were to go ask Flossie now, Francine’s lie would be exposed for sure. She would never do such a humiliating thing!
“Anyway, I advise you not to waste your time. Her ex-husband is Halston Guajardo. There’s no way she would fall for a nobody!”
Haze was not upset. Instead, he said cheerfully, “Like you said, let’s wait and see what happens!”
After leaving the Guajardo Villa, Francine rushed to the headquarters of H Group.
When the employees saw her, they knew trouble was coming. They quickly immersed themselves in their work and tried to keep a low profile.
“Where’s my son? I want to see him right away!”
Francine went all the way to the CEO’s office on the top floor, slammed the table and asked the secretary.
“Miss Francine, the CEO is in an executive meeting. Why don’t you wait for him in the lounge? I’ll make you a cup of tea.”
“No! This can’t wait!”
Without saying another word, Francine headed straight for the meeting room and pushed open the door. ’Son, this is urgent. Get out of there. I need to tell you something!”
Halston was sitting tall and imposing in the center like a king. He frowned when he saw his mother. “I’m in a meeting. Whatever you want to tell me, it can wait.”
Francine rushed in impatiently and said, “Who cares about the meeting? You’re about to lose your wife! You need to act now!”
“Wow!”
As soon as she said that, dozens of H Group’s executive members exclaimed in surprise under their breaths, unable to maintain their solemn and serious expression any longer. They were eagerly waiting to hear more of the gossip.
After all, the H Group was, without a doubt, the place that contained the highest number of “stans” of the “Flossie-Halston ship”.
Halston rubbed his temples. He wished he could dig a hole and jump into it.
He got up and, while walking out of the meeting room, told Francine in low voice, ‘We’ll talk in my office.”
Francine nodded with satisfaction and said, “That’s more like it!”
After they left, the senior executives of H Group immediately discussed with each other what just happened.
“I knew it, our CEO hasn’t moved on from his wife. He’s gonna win her back now!”
‘ I bet 100,000 dollars that Flossie and Halston will get back together!” “I’m not optimistic. The CEO’s wife looks like the kind of person who wouldn’t look back. I bet 500,000 dollars that it’s over for them!” ”100,000 dollars on reconciliation!”
‘200,000 dollars that it’s over!”
The outcome of Halston and Flossie’s love life instantly became the subject of a bet. From senior management to cleaners, the entire H Group enthusiastically participated in it. They all looked forward to the pay day!
CEO’s Office.
“What’s going on?”
Halston’s originally calm expression immediately faltered the moment the door closed. He asked Francine urgently, “Who’s Flossie running away with?”
Francine could tell from Halston’s reaction that her iceberg of a son had truly fallen in love this time.
