Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Halston asked coldly.
Flossie shrugged and said indifferently, “You misunderstood, Mr. Guajardo. I’m not unhappy with you. We used to be husband and wife after all. Now that we see each other again after a long time, a hug seems like an appropriate thing to do.”
“Well said!”
Halston snorted, “I never knew you’re such a carefree person, Miss
Ellsworth… Do you really think that you don’t need to be responsible for the troubles you caused anymore after hiding like a coward for four years?”
Flossie knew Halston would not let her off so easily, but she remained calm and asked, “Then what do you want me to do, Mr. Guajardo?”
“Do you know that Jessanna lost her child because of your cruelty? She even had to have her womb removed. She’ll never get the chance to be a mother again!”
Pain crept into Halston’s handsome face. His voice trembled slightly.
For the past four years, he had been mired in guilt.
He had always felt that it was his mistake that caused his brother to lose his only bloodline and ruined Jessanna’s life.
For four years, he put a seal on the topic and forbade anyone from bringing it up. Then, he desperately worked as hard as he could to numb and also to punish himself.
Now that Flossie, the fuse of the entire tragedy, finally reappeared, he felt that it was time to undo the knot in his heart.
“I don’t care whether what you did back then was intentional or an accident, it’s a fact that the baby died at your hands. Jessanna suffered from severe depression because of that. She tried to commit suicide countless times in the last four years… You owe her an apology.”
“It’s that serious?”
Flossie’s calm expression gradually turned grave.
She did not expect the accident four years ago to have such serious consequences.
In the past, she was too arrogant. Even if she knew that she was in the wrong, she would never apologize to someone like Jessanna Ximenez.
But now that she had become a mother, she knew better than anyone how traumatizing this kind of experience could be. It was impossible to not feel any guilt over it.
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
Flossie looked coldly at Halston, paused for a few seconds, then added,” However, this is a grudge between me and Jessanna. I hope you won’t interfere too much. If you get injured by mistake, I won’t take responsibility for it.”
Halston did not expect Flossie to agree so easily. Deep down, he felt an indescribable sense of loss
After all, this seemed to be the only thing still connecting them.
If this matter was handled cleanly, then there would no longer be anything between them. They would become complete strangers.
“Good. I have nothing else to say.”
Halston’s emotions were very complicated, and so were his feelings for Flossie.
He could not say that he hated her.
But there also seemed to be a lack of reason for him to embrace her again.
He had to admit that after four years, many things had changed.
Halston coldly turned around, preparing to leave.
“Wait.”
Flossie suddenly stopped him.
“Anything else?”
“Thank you.”
Flossie said sincerely.
“For what?”
Halston was confused.
“Thank you for visiting my parents’ graves in the last four years. I once loved you deeply and I once hated you deeply, but everything’s over now. I no longer love or hate you. I hope that, when we meet in the future, we can greet each other with a smile, and I hope that we can both live our lives well.”
Flossie said from the bottom of her heart with a smile.
Before, she kept too many things in her heart, and it was very exhausting.
She only realized that she could live a carefree life after completely letting go!
Her words were grand, but Halston’s face became increasingly cold as he listened to her.
This damn woman was so eager to cut ties with him?
“I think this amber pendant is yours. I found it four years ago. I can finally return it to you now.”
Flossie took down the amber pendant that she had kept for four years from her neck and handed it to Halston.
“It’s actually with you!”
Halston quickly took it from her. He could still feel Flossie’s body heat on the amber.
After examining it carefully, he confirmed that it was indeed the pendant left by his brother. He was very emotional. “This is something very important to me. I’ve been looking for it for a long time.”
“You dropped it in front of my parents’ graves. I didn’t expect you to go there, so I never thought it would be yours. I’m sorry if it caused any inconvenience.”
Flossie spoke politely. Her tone was distant.
Halston hated this “politeness”.
It was as if they were just acquaintances, but they were once an intimate couple!
However, no matter how unhappy he felt, an arrogant guy like Halston would never show it on his face.
“You’d better pray that this pendant isn’t damaged, or it’s not something that can be glossed over with just an apology!”
After saying that coldly, he left without looking back.
Flossie leaned against her car and watched Halston’s impressive figure blend into the night. She could not help smiling.
‘Tsktsk, this guy still has such a bad attitude. It’s time for him to suffer a bit and have a taste of failure…
By the time Flossie returned to the apartment, it was already really late.
Leia was not back yet, which was quite unusual.
