Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Flossie wanted to pretend that it was good till the end, but this celebrity chef in Beach City was too “powerful.” The appearance of the food was beautiful and mouth-watering, but a single bite would cause nightmares for years!
She couldn’t help but want to throw up!
Aiden carefully picked up some scrambled eggs and tasted them, and he immediately gagged and spat them out. ’Oh my god! This is so salty! Ew!” How could the food Q made be so inedible?! How was he supposed to take care of his mother in the future and make sure she had enough to eat?
No. Adie needed Q to improve his cooking as soon as possible.
“The cooking skills of this chef may need some improvement. I’ll ask him to improve, and it’s going to be delicious, and it’ll suit your taste next time, okay?” Aiden assured Flossie with a pat on the back.
“There’s going to be a next time?”
Flossie wanted to die when she heard that and said with a bitter smile, “It’s not necessary, right?”
“No! You need to give him another chance!”
Once Aiden had pacified Flossie enough, he slipped out of the room, pulled out his walkie-talkie, and called Mr. Q
“Emergency! Emergency! Calling Q! Calling Q!” Aiden had just called out on the walkie-talkie when Mr. Q responded immediately as if he had been waiting there all along.
“Q speaking! Q speaking!” The man asked confidently, “Have you had breakfast? Have my superb cooking skills amazed you?”
“What are you talking about? It wasn’t amazing. It was terrifying! Mommy almost called the police after eating your dark cuisine,” Aiden replied as he threw up his hands helplessly.
“Dark cuisine?” Mr. Q’s voice turned cold, obviously disagreeing. “That food was carefully made according to the cooking instructions, and I poured my passion and love into them… Just to make the bread, I spent an hour kneading the dough. How could you call those a dark cuisine?”
“Okay, fine. I see your sincerity, but it’s a fact that you don’t have a talent for making good food. This is your shortcoming, and you have to make up for it quickly. Otherwise, I’ll have to choose someone else… I must find someone who can care for my mommy, make lots of delicious food, and keep her healthy and plump.” Aiden’s tone was exasperated and strict.
“Give me another chance. I promise to amaze you with the next meal.” Mr. Q made a solemn promise.
“Of course, I’ll give you a chance. After all, I’ve already chosen you as my daddy. But…’ Aiden’s delicate and handsome face wrinkled up, looking very troubled,
“Since your cooking is so bad, do you have any other strengths to compensate for it? Otherwise, it’ll be hard for me to vouch for you!”
“Other strengths…” Mr. Q thought briefly and asked, “I have money. Does that count?”
“Who doesn’t have money? My mommy has it too!”
“But I have a lot of money. However much your mother wants, I can give it to her.”
“That’s good! Great! Take another ten points for that!” Aiden smiled and said into the walkie-talkie. “Mark your words! Whatever amount my mommy wants, you’ll give it to her… Let’s end our call for now. We’ll talk again if anything else comes up. Bye!”
Mr. Q was speechless. Had he just been tricked by a child who was not even five?!
At this moment, in the study, Flossie Ellsworth was also fretting over the word “money.”
Azure Group had been in deficit, and it was a problem that had yet to be resolved. The planned production and R&D center had to be built on schedule, or four years of effort would go in vain.
She scanned her contact list and found that there were few people she could turn to for help.
The Osborne family had already subsidized her costs by a lot, so she couldn’t ask Liam Osborne to fill this bottomless pit.
Haze did have the ability, but when she thought about the Baldwin family behind him, she knew she couldn’t afford to provoke them, which meant she could only avoid them.
Others who used to be friends with the Ellsworth family couldn’t be counted on at this time, let alone extend a helping hand…
Did that mean she had to endure nausea and accept Jovan Guajardo’s support? But that guy was a lunatic. Once she got involved with him, it would be hard to shake him off.
She could use some “special” relationships, but the cost was to return to that “circle” and continue to bear the carnage and the cruel and dangerous pressure there.
She promised her grandfather that she would not return to that circle, and she would not do so for the sake of her two children’s peaceful upbringing.
The very last option was to sell Sun Island, which, if sold, would easily cover the losses of Azure Group. However, Sun Island was paradise for her and her children, and she really couldn’t bear to part with it..
‘Argh! Every path I see ends in a roadblock! On the surface, it looks like there are many ways to Rome, but in reality, they’re all blocked!”
Flossie repeatedly sighed, almost driven mad by the problem.
“Mommy, are you unhappy?” Aiden asked worriedly after pushing the door open to see Flossie sighing.
“No.I’m very happy.I’m a winner in life with you and Abby by my side.Why would I not be happy?”
“Mommy, stop lying to me.You’re clearly forcing your smile, and you blink a lot when you lie.I’m not a three-year-old anymore.I’m almost five, you know? Can you please stop insulting my intelligence?”
“Uh, well…”
Like a thief caught in the act, Flossie’s smile froze on her face.
After all, with Aiden’s intelligence, her poor acting skills were a joke that would be easily exposed.So, she stopped pretending and was honest with Aiden.
“Adie, I’ve encountered a problem recently and need a little money.We may have to sell Sun Island temporarily to solve this problem.Are you and Abby okay with that?”
Selling the island was her last resort and also the most painful decision she could make.So, she needed Aiden and Abigail’s agreement.
“Of course not!”
Aiden replied without hesitation and firmly added, “Sun Island is our home, and we have many happy memories there.We can’t sell it, come what may!”
“You’re right!”
Flossie patted her head and slumped down in her chair.She looked up at the white ceiling with watery eyes and whispered, “I just lost my mind for a bit since I was in a hurry.I’m sorry, okay? I won’t sell Sun Island.I’ll think of something else.”
Aiden pulled on Flossie’s arm eagerly and said, “Mommy, if you need money, that’s easy.I know someone who has a lot of money.Whatever amount you need, he’ll give it to you.”
“Oh? Who is it? Let’s hear it.”
“Mr.Q!”
Aiden gleefully said as he took the chance to promote the man further.
“Mr.Q is a really nice person, and he’s super rich.His treasure house has all sorts of exotic treasures from around the world.If you take just one piece and sell it, you can make a lot of money! “I have a close relationship with him, so if you need money, just let me know, and I’ll talk to him.He can solve your problem easily!”
Flossie naturally didn’t take it seriously and smiled gently.
“Really? Ah, our Adie must be really amazing to know such a wealthy friend.”
Aiden pouted and denied seriously, “We’re not friends! We just have a special relationship!”
“Haha! How special is it? Can I know?”
“Not for now.”
Aiden didn’t want his mother to know that Mr.Q was the man he had picked for her until he was done with his investigation.His mother would beheartbroken if Mr.Q turned out to be a scumbag in the end.
“Oh, you rascal.You’re always so imaginative and mysterious!”
