Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Adie’s grape-like black eyes twinkled, and he immediately took the chance to probe her. “Wow, are you really Mommy’s best friend called Jessanna Ximenez?”
Jessanna’s face stiffened. She suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed. “You-your Mommy mentioned me before?”
“Uh-huh. Mommy said that Aunt Ximenez is very beautiful and kind, even more so than her. Now that I have seen you, you are really as she said.
Aunt Ximenez, you are beautiful and kind!”
Adie suddenly jumped out of the office chair and opened his arms as he rushed into Jessanna’s embrace. Then, he muttered coquettishly, “Aunt Desroriers, I really, really like you. Apart from Mommy, you are the prettiest and kindest woman…”
“Um…”
Adie’s action stupefied Jessanna. She literally froze on the spot and even stopped breathing.
‘What’s happening here? The son of the woman I hated the most is actually hugging me and saying he likes me a lot?’
The actual fact, however, was that she and Flossie had always been at odds and hated each other to the guts. She refused to believe that Flossie would say anything good in front of this little kid.
Then… what exactly went wrong?
“Are… are you sure that your Mommy said I am kind and gorgeous?” Jessanna looked at the fluffy head of this little guy and asked curiously.
Still hugging Jessanna, Adie tilted his head up and gazed cutely at the woman with bright shiny eyes uncannily similar to Halston’s.
“Yeah. Mommy even said I must hug you and not let you go if I meet you. She said you are very kind and will take good care of me.”
Jessanna was speechless.
She looked at Adie’s eyes, a complicated feeling clouding her heart.
On the one hand, she hated Flossie so much to the extent of killing her, which meant she should naturally hate her kid.
On the other hand, this boy was simply too adorable. She was a woman who nearly became a mother. It was especially when she saw his eyes that her heart, which had long turned rock-hard, softened
“Aunt Ximenez, don’t you like me?”
Little Adie blinked his eyes like how his sister, Abby, always did. He tried hard to act cute with the same intention as Jessanna, to gain her trust, as he knew that it was her who worked with bad daddy to bully Mommy.
Therefore, he needed to find a way to teach this woman a lesson!
“I…”
Jessanna couldn’t bring herself to even say that she hated this little kid the moment she looked at his adorable face.
“Aunt Desoriers, can you pat and hug me? You are just like my Mommy. I like you very much!”
Adie beamed and held Jessanna’s hand.
Jessanna was instantly defeated. She failed to restrain herself and cupped Adie’s fair and soft cheeks, and said, “How can I not like you? You are so cute! Don’t worry. I will take good care of you. Why don’t I take you somewhere to play later?”
“Sure. You are the best!”
Adie continued to hug Jessanna tightly while plotting a small plan in his mind.
She indulged in the feel of Adie’s soft cotton-ball-like cheek, unwilling to let go.
She sighed inwardly. If her baby developed normally and was born at full term, he should already be as big as this kid. She wondered if her child would be as cute as him and if his cheeks would be as soft as his. If only Aide were her child…
Soon, she shook her head and came to her senses.
This brat was Flossie’s child. So what if he was cute? He was just a bastard. This was such a good chance, and she couldn’t afford to waste it!
Jessanna took a deep breath, suppressing her liking for Adie, and asked, “Adie, did you come to Beach City with your Mommy? Who brought you to this office? Are you planning to see your daddy?”
“Yes. I have never seen my daddy. I have a lot to say to him. Do you know where he is?” Adie answered with pretended innocence.
“Your Daddy happens to be my best friend. He won’t be not coming here for a while, and you might not be able to see him…”
“Then do you know where he is?”
“Of course. I am your daddy’s best friend!”
“That’s fantastic. Can you bring me to Daddy, Aunt Ximenez?” Adie knew that Jessanna must be thinking of kidnapping him, so he played along and begged her.
“Sure. Get your stuff, and I will bring you to him right away.”
Jessanna’s smile slowly turned cold.
A child was indeed a child. With just a few words, he was already fooled.
Honestly speaking, this little one was indeed very cuddly and adorable. He was the kind of child she dreamed of having. Unfortunately, he was born into the wrong family and became the son of her nemesis, Flossie Ellsworth.
Not only that his fate was bad, but also his luck. He had just returned to Beach City but was already in her hand before meeting his father…
Now, his life and death would depend on his luck.
She had a vicious plan in her mind.
She held Adie and left H Group unnoticed, avoiding all the surveillance cameras..
A week later, Flossie recovered well from her leg injury. She was now able to get her cast removed and was discharged from the hospital.
Liam, Leia, and William came to pick her up.
“Today is such a good day. Our Boss can finally remove her cast and come back to life with full blood in her veins. We must celebrate this!”
Liam was apparently excited, and even thoughtfully prepared a wheelchair for Flossie.
“Of course! I have booked a restaurant and prepared a surprise for Flossie. I think that she will like it!” Leia said in suspense, smiling like a flower in full bloom.
They drove to the restaurant Leia had booked in advance.
The feast on the table made Flossie drool. She couldn’t wait to dig in.
Take your time, Boss. Don’t choke yourself.”
Liam patiently diced the steak for Flossie and put them onto her plate quietly as if he was taking care of a child. He did everything so meticulously.
He could not help it, as he cared too much for her. He would not allow her to be hurt even a bit, so he has to take care of even the smallest things.
Flossie was a little overwhelmed and said helplessly, “Liam, I just hurt my leg. I am not crippled. Don’t treat me like a disabled who can’t take care of herself.”
She had been eating and drinking too lightly in the hospital that she felt that she almost became a nun. Today was a rare opportunity to eat as much as she wanted, yet here she was, closely monitored by a man. This was so frustrating!
“I want to eat fast. I want to eat a lot. I would rather die choking than to starve to death!” Flossie threw a childish tantrum and argued with Liam.
