She did not know whether to be happy or not at that.
*1 don’t know who that guy is. He’s quite tall and handsome and has a wild feel to him. He’s completely different from you. If Flossie’s taste has really changed, you’re in trouble…”
Francine told him honestly.
Halston was emotional, but he pretended not to care. He shrugged and said casually, ’So what if her taste has changed? We’re already divorced. She’s free to like whatever type of man she wants. It’s none of my concern.”
“You brat! Are you really gonna act tough in front of me?!”
Francine felt the urge to kick Halston.
Rather than her good genes, her emotional idiot of a son had inherited her pride instead.
“If you really don’t care, then sure, let her get away. Don’t let me catch you crying into your blanket at night.”
Francine exclaimed angrily, “That good-looking guy said he’s gonna take Flossie to see his parents. He didn’t look like he was lying. If you have the balls, go get her back right now!”
Halston’s heart suddenly tightened. He asked tentatively, “Was the man Liam Osborne?”
“No!’
Francine said, “If it was that Osborne brat, I wouldn’t be so worried. Flossie and Liam Osborne were obviously just fooling around. They’re not serious…

’But this good-looking guy is different. He has an aura about him, so he should have a considerable background, at least on par with yours!”
It was precisely because he gave her a strong sense of crisis that she immediately rushed here to urge Halston to go get his wife back.
Halston’s handsome face was cold and silent.
‘How impressive, Flossie Ellsworth. It’s only been three months since we divorced, but your suitors already come knocking at your door one after another. There are so many of them that the door must be breaking down by now!’
When Francine saw Halston keeping quiet, she said, “But don’t be intimidated. After all, you and Flossie were married for four years. No other man can match that…’
“Also, I went to look for her today to probe around and see how she really feels about you. I don’t think she’s moved on from you yet. It’s just that there’s Jessanna standing between you two, and she cant stand that. She made it clear that there can be only one between her and Jessanna. Maybe you should think of a way to get rid of Jessanna.”
Halston’s eyes turned cold. He asked, “Did she really say that?”
“That’s right. She can’t tolerate Jessanna!”
Francine shook her head and said, “I can understand where she’s coming from. If I really love someone, I wouldn’t be able to stand it either. So… you must abandon one of them.”
“I won’t do anything to Jessanna.”
Halston’s attitude was firm.
This confused Francine.
“Son, what are you thinking? You obviously don’t like Jessanna, so why are you protecting her at the cost of hurting the person you like?”
“There are more than affection and love in this world. There are also things like responsibility and morality… If she really detests Jessanna to that extent, it can only mean that we’re not actually a good fit.”
Halston said with clenched fists.
Francine found his words hard to understand. “Then what are you going to do now? Are you really gonna let Flossie meet with that guy’s parents? Are you sure you’re okay with that?”
Halston’s expression was cold and indifferent. ’She can do whatever she wants. She’s single now. It’s not like I can tie her up.”
Francine glared at her son with a frown, lamenting his incompetence and lamenting his misfortune. “Yeah, keep acting tough. I hope you won’t regret this.”
To be honest, it was not as if she liked Flossie that much. She only wanted her as a daughter-in-law because her son had fallen in love with her.
In addition, the lemon chicken feet made by Flossie were truly amazing. Her impression of the woman had improved because of that.
Therefore, she could not bear to see a good daughter-in-law like her slip away!
Francine became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. She decided to turn her anger into appetite. She opened the box filled with lemon chicken feet and started to gnaw on one.
The aroma of the lemon chicken feet filled the entire office.
Halston stared at his mother who was gnawing at chicken feet without any care for how unladylike she looked, his handsome face filled with confusion. “Mom, what are you doing?”
“What do you think I’m doing? I’m eating chicken feet.”
Francine answered impatiently.
She had to admit, the lemon chicken feet Flossie made tasted really good. She could not stop eating them.
The chicken feet alone were worth encouraging Halston to get Flossie back. That way, she would be able to eat these chicken feet regularly.
Halston had never seen Francine eat like this before. He could not help but feel intrigued by the chicken feet. He asked, “Is there anything special about these chicken feet? Why do you have to eat them in front of me?”
Instead of answering, Francine gave him a mysterious smile. She handed Halston a chicken foot and said, “Eat this first. I’ll tell you after that.”
Halston frowned and had a look of disdain on his face. “You know I’ve never liked these kind of things.’
“If you don’t try it, how would you know if you’ll like it or not? Maybe it’ll surprise you.’
Because it was lunch time and Halston happened to be hungry, he reluctantly took one and slowly tasted it.
“How was it? Was it delicious? Did it surprise you?”
Francine asked impatiently.
Halston nodded and replied truthfully, “It’s the most delicious chicken foot I’ve ever had.”
He usually ate Western food. Even when he had Chinese food, he would usually have high-class Chinese food. He would rarely eat street food like chicken feet.
He did not think they look that good, so he had refrained from trying them, but now that he had one, he thought it actually tasted really good!
Like Francine, after he finished one, he could not help eating another one.
Francine saw that the time was right, so she told him, “Flossie made these chicken feet. She specifically asked me to bring some for you. Have you ever had them during the four years you were married to her?”
Halston suddenly stopped. “She made these?”
He now recalled that, when he had no choice but to go back to the Guajardo Villa for dinner in the past, there seemed to be chicken feet like these on the table, but he did not think they looked good, so he did not even try one.
“I can tell from your reaction that this is the first time you’ve had them too… ■
Francine sighed, “I only now realize that Flossie is not as cowardly and incompetent as I thought. She has many good points that I ignored because I was biased… She’s a treasure that we need to take the time to unearth.”
The look on Halston’s handsome face was profound and complicated. After a moment of silence, he said softly, “What’s the point of telling me this now? Even if she’s the most amazing woman in the world, she doesn’t belong to me anymore…’ “What are you saying? You sound so defeated. You’re Halston Guajardo. Is there anything in the world that you can’t do?”
