“Adie, why don’t you… give it a try too?”
Adie shook his head and said, “Mommy, of course I should let you go first. I’m a filial son after all.”
Flossie’s smile was awkward. “Yes, you sure are.”
She slowly picked up a slice of cake and licked it tentatively.
Surprisingly, it did not taste as “exciting” as the previous breakfast. In fact, it was quite delicious.
Flossie quickly finished a slice and immediately started on a second one.
Seeing that, Adie also picked up a slice and tried it out.
“It’s good. Looks like that guy put in a lot of effort to improve. Not bad, not bad at all.”
Adie nodded while eating. His opinion of Mr. Q improved by ten points.
With her mouth full of cream, Flossie looked at Adie with a skeptical expression and asked, “Tell me honestly, who exactly is this “famous Beach City chef” you were talking about? How did you meet him? Do I know him?”
“He’s a friend I made. When the time is right, I’ll introduce him to you…”
Adie was being very mysterious. He added, “My friend is amazing. If I introduce him to you now, I’m worried that you might fall head over heels for him immediately. But what if he has a major flaw? That would be bad. So, Mommy, please be patient for now. I promise I’ll observe him carefully for you.”
“For me?”
‘Yeah, didn’t I tell you I’ll pick a husband for you? Have you forgotten already?”
“Uhh…”
Flossie’s expression was awkward.
She did not expect the little boy to actually look for a husband for her.
In that case, she looked forward to meeting the man that her son found for her.
At least the man would have passed Adie’s evaluation already. That means he had already won half the battle.
They enjoyed the delicious breakfast and departed for Monte Perry Kindergarten.
Because it was the kids’ first day and they were transfer students, Flossie was really worried. Even after the two kids were led into the classroom by the childcare teacher, she stood at the school gate for a long time, refusing to leave.
On the contrary, Margaret appeared very calm. She persuaded Flossie,” Miss Flossie, stop staring. They’re gone. We’ve always kept Adie and Abby protected from the outside world on Sun Island. It’s high time they make contact with the real world and make friends with other kids. It’s also time you learn to let go.”
“I understand what you’re saying, but I still can’t bear to part with them. My nose was sore when I watched them walk into the classroom. Will they be alright? Will they bully their classmates?…”
“Well, as long as their classmates don’t do anything stupid, they should be fine. Adie and Abby know their boundaries. Even if they bully their classmates, it would be the gentle type of bullying. They won’t cause too much trouble.”
‘You’re right. Although my two babies are difficult to deal with and are very scary, they won’t cause unnecessary troubles. Their classmates… should be safe.”
Flossie took a deep breath. She couldn’t help but worry for the other children.
“Miss Flossie, get back to work. Don’t worry too much about them. I believe they’ll adapt well.”
Margaret was not as confident as she appeared. She was also worried that the kids might not adapt well or that they would get laughed at for not having a father, but she had to remain calm.
If she was anxious too, Miss Flossie would become even more anxious.
“Okay, I’ll get back to work. I do have something important to take care of today.”
Flossie said goodbye to Margaret.
Flossie checked her watch. There was still half an hour left before the press conference Jovan mentioned.
Major changes were coming to Beach City in half an hour. Many important figures would probably attend the press conference. Of course she would want to witness this special moment too.
Flossie drove straight to the five-star hotel where the press conference was held.
Luxury cars lined up outside the hotel. Security was tight. Reporters crowded outside the cordon. Many influencers were there too, hoping the exposure would boost their popularity.
Flossie’s red Ferrari was very eye-catching to begin with. When she got off the car, it turned even more heads. She instantly became the center of attention.
“Look at how beautiful that woman is. Isn’t she the Queen Fighter who went viral a while back?”
“She’s not just the Queen Fighter, she’s also the wife of H Group’s CEO. Unfortunately, she was usurped by the mistress…”
A daring male influencer chased after Flossie while streaming on his phone.
“Hold on, chat. I’ll go talk to the former wife of H Group’s CEO. Let’s find out why the Queen Fighter has suddenly appeared at H Group.”
“Goddess! Goddess! A moment of your time, please. Can I ask you a few questions?”
Flossie frowned and blocked her face with her hand while saying, “Sorry, I’m in a hurry”
The male streamer blocked Flossie’s way and would not let her go. “It won’t take up too much of your time. Please say a few words to your fans…”
“Get out of my way!”
Flossie was annoyed. Her gaze was cold.
She really hated unethical influencers who would do anything for popularity like him, so she naturally would not give him the time of day.
Not to mention, the press conference was about to start, so she was indeed in a hurry.
The streamer thought that the bigger the commotion and the more embarrassing the situation, the more popular his stream would get, so he immediately shouted, “Oh, wow, the CEO’s wife has quite the temper. You think you’re a big celebrity or something? You won’t even say hello to your fans. If you’re really all that, you wouldn’t have lost to the mistress. You’re just an abandoned woman now, but you’re still so snobbish!”
His stream’s audience started hurling insults at Flossie too.
“Shut up!”
Flossie’s tone became even more impatient. She warned him, “For the last time, get out of my way!”
“Nope, don’t wanna. What are you gonna do, hit me?”
The male streamer spread open his arms and said to the camera, “See, chat? This is what she’s really like. She’s as foul-tempered as a hag. No wonder she got abandoned by her man. In my opinion, Mr. Guajardo’s mistress, Miss Ximenez, is simply more gentle and more feminine than her. At least, when I met Miss Ximenez before, she greeted me politely…”
“Chat, if she hits me, you’ll have to be my witness. I’m the victim here. I…”
“Get lost!”
Flossie had run out of patience. She slapped the streamer and sent him flying together with his phone.
She then tried to walk into the hotel, but her action had caught the attention of the influencers and reporters there. They immediately flocked around her to snap her pictures or catch her in their streams.
Flossie became even more irritated. She roared at the reporters and influencers, “I already said I’m in a hurry. Are you all deaf? Get out of my way or I’ll beat you up!”
