Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Halston just remembered about his outfit. He was still wearing heavy make-up in garter stockings and high heels as he talked about grooming Adie into the future king. Just the image alone was crazy!
Halston’s face immediately turned grim. He said through his gritted teeth, “You two little brats. You’ve vented your anger and gotten your revenge. Time to return me my clothes and shoes!”
‘Damn it!’ Halston thought. If the two little brats were not his, he would have punished them with a beating.
Flossie glanced at Halston briefly and let out a laugh.
Indeed, Halston was cold and arrogant but hilarious at the same time.
“You two. Return his clothes and shoes to him immediately, or I won’t forgive you!”
Flossie wore a stern face and ordered the two kids before Halston grew furious.
As the saying went, never push your enemy into a corner. Moreover, Halston was like a fearsome and ruthless beast.
Flossie knew when to stop, and so did Adie and Abby.
Adie and Abby sensed that Halston had reached the limit of his patience, so they hurriedly took out his clothes and pants and stuffed them into his hands.
Adie held his chin up and stated seriously, “We’ll let you off this time. Don’t you fall into our hands again. It won’t be this easy next time.”
“Same to you. Next time, I’ll show you!” Halston responded with the same cool look and warned them arrogantly. Then, he grabbed his clothes, turned his high heels, and strode into the bathroom quickly.
“Hahaha!”
Flossie could not hold back her laughter anymore. It started from a soft peal but quickly escalated into a massive burst. Her wild and unrestrained laughter almost echoed throughout the building!
Halston had always been stoic and arrogant, maintaining a dignified composure throughout the years they were together. It was refreshingly odd to see him in such a hilarious and embarrassing state.
Sure enough, the little devils were the only ones who could deal with the big devil. The future generation was always more evolved than their predecessor!
When Flossie stopped laughing, she held Adie and Abby in each hand and educated them solemnly. She maintained a stern expression and lectured, “I’m telling you two. I won’t pursue it this time, but you mustn’t do this again. That guy inside is crazy. If provoked, he can be scarier than the devil. You may get into deep trouble for making him mad. Understand?”
Abby said, “But Mommy, I think Bad Daddy has a good temper. We teased him like this, but he didn’t get angry. He seems… It seems that he likes the look we made for him. Maybe he’s actually happy?”
Flossie shook her head and soberly explained to Abby, “He’s a big beast. He won’t show his emotions easily. He may appear calm on the outside, but he’s probably furious on the inside and plotting revenge. We shouldn’t provoke people like him. Let’s stay out of trouble.”
Abby pondered briefly. Shortly after, her eyes lit up. “In that case, why don’t we change our strategy and deal with him differently?”
Adie seemed interested. “But how?”
Abby had an innocent expression and answered softly, “If he’s a big beast, let’s not fight him. We can be nice to him and tame him. He won’t hurt us that way. Maybe he’ll even protect us?”
Abby was less hostile to Halston than Adie. She even had a little crush on him. After all, she was just like her mommy and loved pretty faces!
Abby had only heard of her bad daddy Halston in other people’s stories. It was her first time meeting him. Halston was much prettier and taller than she had imagined. Halston’s shoulders were also as broad and thick as Daddy Q’s. If she sat on it, she could see the scenery very high and far away. Abby was tempted to climb onto his shoulder and try it!
Adie objected strongly and gestured with a big no. “Absolutely not!”
Adie had a stern look on his handsome little face as he lectured Abby, “Becoming stronger is the only way to deal with the bad guys! We can’t be kind to them. We can’t let our guard down and give them any chance to hurt us again!”
“If we’re nice to him, he’ll treat us as an easy target to bully. We have to make him fear us, obey us, and never dare to hurt us again.”
“No, brother. I think you’re wrong…”
Abby pouted and started an unprecedented debate with her most admired brother.
“Mommy taught us to be a good person. If Bad Daddy has changed, why don’t we give him a chance to be a good person?”
“If we treat him well, he’ll treat us well. If we treat him badly, he’ll do the same to us. Why don’t we be kinder to him and have one more person that treats us well?”
Abby spoke her mind with reason.
She had always been Adie’s number-one fan and most loyal supporter.
Flossie laughed and joked that Abby would always be undoubtedly supportive of Adie. She did not expect them to quarrel over Halston.
“Uh, hey… You two…”
Flossie listened as the little ones quarreled. She turned to Adie and then to Abby, feeling a little at a loss. It was the first time she had encountered such a scene.
“Abby, your thoughts are problematic. A bad guy will always be a bad guy. He’ll never become a good person. We’ll hurt ourselves by being kind to the bad guys!”
“That’s not true. People may make mistakes. If not, why would we need teachers and police officers?”
It was Adie’s first time dealing with Abby’s stubbornness. He could only drag Flossie into the argument in desperation.
“Mommy, say something. What do you think? Do you support Abby or me? Or… Do we have to forgive Bad Daddy?”
“About that…” Flossie pinched her jaw and pondered the question. How could she resolve the conflict and answer without hurting them?
“Well, I think it’s good to be strong. It’s right to be kind too. It’s important to find a balance between the two. You shouldn’t give a chance to someone who’s absolutely evil or hurt someone who’s kind and beat him to death, so…”
“So, it’s all about Bad Daddy’s sincerity, right?”
Adie instantly understood Flossie’s answer. He behaved like an adult and said with a serious nod, “Mommy’s right. We can’t just beat him to death. Why don’t we call him out and take a stand!”
“I agree! Let’s ask Bad Daddy what he thinks… But what’s with him? It’s been so long. Why isn’t he done?”
Flossie listened to the two children and noticed that Halston seemed to have been in the bathroom for too long. Why was there no movement at all?!”
“I’ll go take a look.”
Flossie turned towards the bathroom and pushed open the door to find Halston unconscious on the floor. Halston had changed into his clothes and removed the heavy makeup from his face. However, he was lying on the floor and shut his eyes tightly!
“W-what’s going on?” Flossie paled in confusion.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong, Mommy?”
The little ones heard Flossie and hurriedly ran over. They were startled to see such a situation too.
“He seems to have fainted…”
Flossie went forward to nudge Halston, only to find him unresponsive. Without a second to waste, she called for an ambulance to take him to the hospital for emergency treatment.
“You two stay home. Get some rest and listen to Margaret. No more playing around. I’ll be back soon!”
Flossie gave the two little ones a good lecture before leaving for the hospital with the ambulance.
About an hour later, the doctor came out with the report.
Flossie gulped nervously. She went forward to ask the doctor softly, “Doctor… W-what happened to him?”
“He fainted from his allergies. It’s nothing too bad,” the doctor explained. After that, he lectured Flossie with a frown, “By the way, what are you guys doing? As his family, don’t you know he has hemophobia? His condition is severe. You have to be careful with his diet. He may get an allergy from indiscriminate eating, and it may even kill him!”
