Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Until now, he would still try to dissuade Flossie whenever she was about to sign the contract.
“This program is very risky.It’ll also use up a lot of funds.The most difficult part is that we don’t have an excellent research team.We might end up losing everything and bear a significant amount of debt.We’ll become the joke of the town! “In fact, downstream companies like ours focus mainly on production and sales.Normally, a research center isn’t even necessary.H Group, for example, doesn’t have its own research center.It has always cooperated with other research companies.Even so, it still managed to maintain its position as the leader with its high production and sales capabilities!”Liam added.
“Is that so?”
Flossie rested her chin on her hands.
“Just do as I tell you.We’ll become the leader sooner or later!”
It was already night when she sent Liam and Leia away.
As the waves hit the shore, the island regained its silence and serenity, and the soothing fragrance of flowers permeated the air.
Flossie would touch the objects around her for a split second before looking around. She even spent half an hour giving catnip to her newly acquired cat, Orange, as though attempting to keep herself occupied to escape something.
Meanwhile, her gaze couldn’t help but wander to her computer from time to time. Her fingertips moved unconsciously as she was eager to test it.
Finally, her curiosity got the better of her, and she flipped her laptop open.
Her slender fingertips tapped on the keyboard, and she got into the film distributor’s system, copying the movie ‘Hunt my Ellsworth,’ which was about to be released in theatres.
She was curious to see how capable Halston was to receive so many good reviews for his first-ever film!
The film lasted two hours. She played the film on her private cinema screen. She even made snacks and beverages before sitting comfortably on the sofa to watch the movie.
She couldn’t deny that the movie had quality. It was shot in such a manner that each scenario had its own significance. Evidently, it had been created with great care and attention to detail.
The first instance of the movie was enough to capture Flossie’s heart.
It was shot in line with the real story. The male and female leads met for the first time as they stood in the pouring rain.
As Flossie was watching, her eyes reddened, and she felt that she wasn’t watching a movie but staring into a mirror as it reflected her true story.
Their four-year relationship, portrayed in a two-hour film, included all of their bittersweet recollections.
Halston created the other half of the movie, so it wasn’t nearly as heartbreaking as the first. It was more about the male and female lead’s life taking care of their children together, which was sweet and harmonious.
Then one day, a small misunderstanding turned into a huge fight. The female protagonist walked out of the home and never returned.
The male protagonist took their child and went traveling all over the globe in search of her. He would write her a postcard whenever he stopped.
As they traveled, the postcards grew in number until they filled the whole luggage. Unfortunately, he never heard anything about her.
Finally, amid the male lead’s dream, he said, “You’re back,” and the film ended.
Flossie, who inspired the female lead’s character, couldn’t stop crying after viewing it.
‘I can’t believe Halston could be so skilled. The film is quite moving. He went to great lengths to portray himself as a decent man,’ she thought as she clutched the tissue in her palm and couldn’t stop wiping her tears.
The gloomy theater suddenly became bright.
Margaret walked in and looked at Flossie worriedly. “Miss Flossie, why are you crying? Were you reminded of something sad? Or did anyone bully you?”
“No, I…”
She couldn’t bring herself to tell Margaret that she had sobbed because Halston’s movie had moved her.
“Did Orange bully you?”
Margaret pointed at Orange in Flossie’s arms and said seriously, “Orange, didn’t I tell you that Flossie is now pregnant? You can’t lay on her stomach like that, or you will crush the babies in there. Come here!”
Orange hopped down and sat in front of the television.
Only then did Margaret realize the male protagonist in the film was Halston!
’Oh my goodness! The jerk is now acting! Is the H Group about to go bankrupt? Why would a CEO like him want to work in entertainment?”
Flossie couldn’t stop laughing as she joked, “I heard it’s because he’s attempting to woo the female lead.’
“Damn him!”
Margaret despised Halston so much after learning that he had almost murdered Flossie for Jessanna.
She became even more upset after learning that he was pursuing another woman. “Miss Flossie, you made the correct option by leaving him.
Otherwise, you’ll have to put up with his cheating behind your back. Your boys will be miserable growing up in such an atmosphere. I completely agree with your choice to leave him back then!’
Flossie had a faint grin but didn’t say anything when she heard this.
If she didn’t see the movie, she would’ve reprimanded Halston as well as Margaret.
She did finish it, however, and she couldn’t admonish him. She had the impression that he wasn’t as cruel and cold as she had expected. He had to be a very meticulous man, since he could write such a lovely and emotional end.
“I’m not going to chastise him anymore for the sake of your babies.”
Margaret took a deep breath and suppressed her rage.
She examined Flossie’s pulse and blood sugar as usual. Everything was how it should be.
“Your children are doing fine.’
“When Mr. Osborne learned that you intended to do water birth, he discreetly got a designer and a few workmen a while ago and created a water birth room for you. The room is created in a submerged form, with glass walls that reach all the way to the bottom of the sea. You can see the aquatic animals swimming. It should be quite soothing.”
“Water birth room?”
Flossie was excited and shocked at the same time. ‘This is amazing! I just said it casually. I didn’t expect him to remember it.”
“Of course, he remembers. Mr. Osborne cares about you a lot. No matter how small the detail, he would make sure he got it perfectly. You mean a lot to him that’s why he’s so considerate of you. In my opinion, Mr. Osborne is better than the jerk in various ways. You should consider making him the father of your babies.”
Before this, Flossie would have rejected such a request instantly, but now she didn’t. She placed her hands on her belly, felt her babies moving around energetically, and mumbled, “I’ll think of it.”
“Mr. Osborne will be so excited if he knows about this!”
Margaret sighed happily. “Miss Flossie, you finally thought it through. You should find a man that loves you so that you won’t get hurt. If you find a man that you love, chances are you will have your heart broken.”
However, Flossie argued, “Love isn’t necessarily the reason for a man and a woman to be together. To me, Liam is the friend that I trust the most. Our friendship is more important than love. Besides, I need a long-lasting relationship!”
Meanwhile, at Beach City.
Xavier was having a meal with a few bosses of big cinema companies, preparing for the release of ‘Hunt my Ellsworth.’
Suddenly, he got a call from the film distributor saying that some mysterious person had copied the movie’s original file.
Hearing this, his eyes lit in excitement, and he instantly phoned Halston.” Halston, it’s just as you predicted. The fish has taken the bait!”
