Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
“No!”
Abby shook her head. She still remembered her promise to Adie. “Big bro said he’s doing an experiment like you. He said he’s gonna make something big to show you, so we can’t disturb him… He made this phone for me. He’s amazing!”
“Ugh!”
Flossie shook her head helplessly.
In this aspect, Adie was just like her.
He’s good at various things and liked to experiment with this and that.
Moreover, whenever he went into his laboratory, he would stay there for several days. He had the potential to be a good researcher. She naturally found it hard to stop him from doing his things.
“Never mind, then. Can you tell him later that Mommy misses him very much and ask him to stop being angry at Mommy?”
“Okay, Mommy. Don’t worry, I’ll persuade him.”
They soon ended the call.
Flossie fell asleep peacefully.
The next morning.
Flossie got up early. Her plan today was to inspect the Ellsworth Residence and sign a contract with a design company to begin the rebuild of the Ellsworth Residence.
Leia refused to let her go alone, so she went with her.
They took the big red Ferrari.
Leia bought some nice-looking pastries. She took a bite herself, then fed Flossie a bite. The two of them naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Leia had been holding onto a certain question the whole night. She finally could not hold it in anymore and asked Flossie, ‘ Flossie, were you serious when you said you’ll marry my brother?”
“Of course. You can’t joke about these things.”
“But I don’t think you like my brother, do you? He’s always been your underling. No boss marries their underling.”
“Marriage is less about liking someone and more about whether the person is suitable.”
Flossie smiled self-deprecatingly. “Take me, for example. You know how much I loved a certain man in the past? And how did that work out?”
“It’s hard for me to become close with someone, especially men. Liam has been by my side all these years – helping me, supporting me, warming my heart. He makes me feel at ease. I don’t think there’s anyone in this world more suitable for me than him.”
‘The reason you would think he’s suitable for you is because he suppresses his own nature to appeal to you… no, that’s not entirely right.”
Leia frowned as she searched for the right words. “It’s like he’s hiding his sharp edges to cater to you. In truth, my brother is extremely cocky. He has lots of ideas, lots of ambition and he’s very capable. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be notoriously known as the “Little Demon King” in Beach City. He’s not the cute little obedient puppy that he appears to be in front of you.”
“I know.”
Flossie said, “After all, your family earns money through the gray industries. Without some degree of ability and courage, how could you possibly keep the people in those industries in check? As the child Mr. Osborne values the most, Liam will take over the Osborne family one day. Of course he’s not a cute little obedient puppy.”
“If you know that, then don’t joke with him…”
Leia was rarely this serious. She earnestly pleaded with Flossie, “My brother’s feelings for you are sincere. He might look carefree and heartless, like nothing could bother him… but he’s actually very loyal. When he falls in love, he falls in love for life. If you’re not sure that he’s the one for you, don’t give him hope. I’m worried that he might spend the rest of his life trying to forget you.”
Although Liam and her were always fighting, they were born together, so they knew each other very well.
No one knew better than Leia how much Liam loved Flossie.
And no one could say for sure whether Flossie had really gotten over Halston.
If Flossie got involved with Halston again, then her brother would get hurt!
“Don’t worry, I know what you’re worried about. The things you’re worried about won’t come true.”
Flossie was very clear about what choices she should make. Her voice was firm. “Maybe Liam is not my Mr. Right, but he’s definitely the man I’m willing to spend the rest of my life with. Our relationship has already transcended a normal relationship between a man and a woman.”
“I’m glad to hearthat. Maybe I’m overthinking it.”
Leia nodded.
Although she had received assurances from Flossie, deep down in her heart, she still did not have high hopes for them. She could not help feeling like something would go wrong somewhere.
They soon arrived at the Ellsworth Residence.
There were always stories about the place being haunted, and it even burned down some time ago, so all the inhabitants nearby had moved away. The area had become a wasteland overgrown with weeds.
From a distance, the house looked gloomy and desolate. It was still cordoned off.
“Look what happened to the house I grew up in!”
Flossie frowned looking at the desolation before her.
This place carried the joyful memories of three generations of Ellsworths. It had a very special significance to her.
Seeing one’s home in ruin was like seeing the most precious thing in one’s heart being tainted. It was painful.
“Yeah. After the big fire, this place has become a forbidden area for Beach City’s inhabitants. It’s been abandoned for a long time and should be quite difficult to rebuild. You’re better off just buying a new house…”
Leia sighed with a regretful look on her face.
To think that this place used to be known as a wealthy area. You really couldn’t predict what would happen in life!
‘There can be many houses, but there’s only one home. I’ll definitely rebuild the Ellsworth Residence, no matter how difficult it is.”
Besides dealing with some matters related to the Azure Group, the main focus of Flossie’s trip back to Beach City was to rebuild the Ellsworth Residence.
They pulled the cordon up, wanting to go in to take a look.
Suddenly, someone ran over and yelled at them. “Who are you people? You can’t trespass on private property!”
“Private property?’
Flossie glared at the man with a frown.
The man was wearing a security guard uniform. He should be a staff member responsible for guarding this area.
“What are you talking about? This is my friend’s house. How could it be your private property?”
Leia, who was notorious for her violent temper, yelled at the security guard, “We’re going in right now. Get out of the way!”
“I don’t care who owns this house, this land has been included within the scope of expropriation, which makes it a private property. Our boss said that no one can enter without his permission.”
The security guard straightened up and replied fiercely.
