Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Flossie soon realized that she was talking too much and went overboard. She coughed lightly and explained, “Don’t get me wrong. I don’t feel this way about him anymore. I only feel this way about you, so… I just want to…”
“Fake it until you make it with me?”
Mr. Q hit the nail on the head with his question.
Flossie tightened her hand and nodded vigorously. “Well, I want to work in that direction.”
It had been four years, and another four years went by quickly. She had spent most of her life with an unworthy man and an unworthy relationship. It was time to start a new journey.
It might be difficult, but she finally felt the urge to open her heart and take a step forward.
“I see.”
Mr. Q gently cupped Flossie’s face. Then, he examined her with his deep, tender, yet complicated gaze.
Flossie’s beautiful face was flawless and perfect. She was small and delicate. She might appear soft, but her thin lips and bright eyes said otherwise. She was not easy to tame, but that was exactly what made her so irresistible.
‘Halston. Oh, Halston. You’re the biggest fool in the world. Why did you let down such a great woman and let her run away?’ thought Q.
“It’s my pleasure to get married to you and fake it until I make it, but… I don’t want you to regret it. You can tell me your decision a week later.”
Mr. Q stroked Flossie’s cheek softly. He was very gentle and patient and treated her like she was the most precious thing in the world.
After the discussion, Flossie and Mr. Q took the packed luggage and went straight to the kindergarten to pick up the two children from school.
Adie and Abby were thrilled and proud to see Flossie, and they were eager to show her off to the other children.
Abby pulled her best friend, Yara, over. She held her chin high and looked at Flossie in front of the kindergarten, proclaiming, “Look there! The most beautiful lady in the crowd is my mommy. She’s the best mommy in the world. I’m lucky to be her daughter!”
Yara looked on at Flossie with starry eyes but sighed regretfully. “Oh, Abby. Your mommy is indeed beautiful. Why is she with an ugly man in a mask? That’s such a waste.”
“I frequently saw how the TV portrayed mismatched couples. Isn’t that just like your mommy and that masked man? If I were you, I would find a beautiful man for your mommy. Maybe she’d be happier with that.”
Although young, the little girls were obsessed with pretty faces.
Abby loved pretty faces. Naturally, her best friend was the same.
Yara was curious about the masked man who often picked up Abby from school. What does he really look like?
“I heard that the masked uncle’s face was disfigured. He has a deep and long scar on his face. If your mommy really marries him, won’t she be scared? She might see the scar on his face if she suddenly wakes up at night.”
Yara could not help but hug her arms and shiver at that thought.
Abby had a worried look on her face. She said in low spirits, “I’ve thought of the same problem, but he’s very nice to us. He’ll take care of Mommy. We can’t dislike him. A beautiful heart always trumps a beautiful face.”
“Even so, I still think your Mommy deserves someone better looking. As her daughter, you should help her out,” Yara insisted. She tried to convince Abby to find Flossie a good-looking man.
“Alas. My mommy has met a good-looking man, but she doesn’t like him. Not only that, she hates him. What can I do?”
The good-looking man Abby was referring to was her bad daddy Halston. She had met many handsome men, but Halston’s beauty definitely ranked first!
“She doesn’t like him? She must be lying. There’s no woman in this world who doesn’t like beautiful men. I guess she’s shy and deliberately pretending not to like him. You should find a way to set them up…”
“S-set them up?”
“That’s right. Do you know how to set them up? If not, I can teach you secretly! It’s a very useful skill!”
After that, Little Yara leaned closer to Abby and began to whisper.
Adie was standing at the front of the line and a little far from the two little girls. Seeing that it would be his turn to leave the school with Abby, he waved his hand at her.
“Abby, stop talking. We should go.”
“Oh, okay! I’m coming, Adie!”
Abby ran to her brother’s side excitedly. Then, the teacher escorted them to Flossie.
Little Abby had just learned a great trick from her best friend. She was very excited to try setting up Mommy and Bad Daddy using those new techniques.
Flossie did not know what was on Abby’s mind. She took Abby’s hand and asked, “Honey, what were you whispering to the other kid? You both look very serious and happy!”
“Mommy, this is a secret between Yara and me. I promised her I tell anyone else, but I can give you a slight hint. We were talking about you.”
“Oh?” Flossie was intrigued by Abby’s hint. She continued asking, “Was that all? Was there anything else?”
“You’ll find out soon. I can’t tell you now, or it’ll lose its magic.”
“Uhh…” Flossie was so amused by her daughter and could not stop laughing.
Adie crossed his arms and said cooly, just like an adult, “What secret can they have? They must be talking about handsome guys again. Childish!”
Since they started kindergarten, the relationship between the two little ones had subtly changed.
The cool Adie was undoubtedly very popular in kindergarten. Nonetheless, he was too cold and distant and made no friends. The children liked him but dared not approach him.
On the contrary, his sister Abby had become the darling of her teachers and classmates because of her cute face and high emotional intelligence. She made a lot of friends and had companions wherever she went.
Adie was secretly jealous and felt he was no longer the only one for his sister. Abby used to worship and admire him. She always listened to him unconditionally. However, now, it seemed she had her own ideas and no longer listened to him. In fact, she was especially against him.
In particular, the siblings had a huge disagreement over their attitude toward Halston.
Abby advocated forgiving Halston and giving him another chance to redeem himself.
Meanwhile, Adie was aware of the ugly side of human nature and was determined to keep Halston away from Flossie.
The siblings had been quietly fighting because of this disagreement. Deeply embroiled in a cold war, they refused to talk to each other in kindergarten!
Adie opened the car door and got into the car ahead of Abby. Then, he sat on the furthest side and kept a distance from her.
Abby also ignored Adie for the first time ever. She sat on the other side of the back row, pouting and looking out the window.
Flossie was driving and immediately sensed something was wrong. She asked with a smile, “What’s with you two? Why aren’t you talking to each other? Is something wrong?”
“Mommy, I don’t want to talk to Adie anymore. He’s mean, and his face is always stern. Everyone is afraid of him!” Abby complained.
“Is that so? Adie? Are you mean in kindergarten?” Flossie asked Adie.
Adie had a sullen face and was full of worries. He answered, “Mommy, I’m not mean. Abby is just a trusting fool. She makes friends with everyone, regardless of whether they’re good or bad. I can’t forgive her for that!”
“Adie, you’re wrong!”
Abby disagreed, “I make friends with others because I think they’re cute and kind, not because I’m stupid!”
“You’re just stupid. If not, you wouldn’t give Bad Daddy another chance. Giving him a chance is the same as putting us in danger. Isn’t that silly?” Adie said with a serious expression.
