Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Flossie heaved a sigh of relief. She disguised her embarrassment by tidying up her clothes and hair. She explained, “I’m a shy person. You need to give me some time to get to know you better. Once I get to know you, I won’t resist you anymore.”
“Shy?”
Mr. Q sneered and said, “But I heard you fell in love with my sworn enemy, your ex-husband, at first sight.”
“Nonsense. Who told you that?”
Flossie denied it without any confidence.
“Forget it. I won’t tease you anymore. Since you’ve made up your mind, please give me your documents so that we can go through the marriage registration process without showing up.”
“Without showing up?”
“That’s right. Someone will photoshop our pictures together, get everything done, and mail the marriage certificate to you. You can then see what I looked like before I was disfigured.”
“I… I see.”
Although it was strange, Flossie could not suppress her excitement. Without much hesitation, she handed over all her documents.
It felt like she was handing over her turbulent life to the man. From now on, she would be living her life with him and the children!
After they said goodbye, Flossie returned to the Guajardo Villa.
She was in a good mood. She felt like she had embarked on a new chapter in her life.
No one knew about her second marriage, so there were no flowers, no blessings, and no grand wedding, but it made her feel incredibly secure, at least more so than her first marriage.
She may not love Mr. Q, but she missed the time she spent living with him and the children. The feeling of being a peaceful, ordinary family was something that Halston could never give her!
“You seem to be in a good mood.”
Halston slowly walked down from the second floor. He saw Flossie humming a song while pruning the flowers. With a faint smile, he inquired curiously.
“I am in a good mood.”
Flossie looked up at the man, then moved a rose close to her nose and smelled it. She could not contain her smile.
She did not really like roses. She thought they were too bright and too cliché. But today, she was in such a good mood that even the roses looked pleasant to her.
“Mind sharing why?”
Halston sat down across from Flossie. He crossed his slender legs in an elegant posture.
“Sorry, I can’t, because even if I told you, an emotionless iceberg like you wouldn’t understand my happiness.”
Flossie was incredibly smug because she was in a good mood.
But more importantly, it was because she felt like she had at least gained victory over Halston in this matter.
Because Halston had no emotion, no matter how excellent or successful he became, he would never experience the happiness of having a “home”.
Halston was not angry. He wore a faint smile on his handsome face and looked at Flossie with a hint of indulgence in his eyes. “For example?”
“Fine, since you insist, I’ll chat with you for a bit.”
While placing the trimmed flowers in an expensive vase, Flossie chatted with the man casually, “I’m actually curious, what would an emotionless iceberg like you consider as happiness?”
“Happiness?”
Halston narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep contemplation.
“Let me guess. When you acquire several new companies? When H Group’s stock rises? When you defeat your competitors?”
Flossie looked at the man with some sympathy. She shook her head and said, “I don’t know what you consider the ultimate happiness to be, but it definitely isn’t an ordinary family life, right? The happiness of having a harmonious relationship with your significant other or seeing your children grow up healthy would probably only make you scoff.”
Halston’s bright eyes darkened slightly. He said helplessly, “I feel like you’ve never known the real me.”
Flossie was slightly stunned, then she smiled bitterly and said, “Maybe, but it doesn’t matter anymore. I have my own life to live, so I don’t need to know the real you.”
If it were in the past, she would have hoped to know everything about him and be able to walk into his heart.
But now, she had embarked on a new journey. The person she should get to know was her husband and not “a random person”.
At that moment, Flossie’s phone rang.
“Miss Ellsworth? Are you home? There’s a delivery for you.”
“A delivery?”
Flossie was puzzled. Was it her marriage certificate? It’s done already?
But she gave Mr. Q the address of her apartment. It wouldn’t be sent to the Guajardo Villa.
She glanced at Halston, who was sitting on the sofa. She hesitated to speak.
She did now know how he would react if he saw the marriage certificate… Would he fly into a rage or would he remain expressionless? She suddenly found herself a bit curious.
“Why are you looking at me? Are you receiving something illegal?”
Halston tried probing her.
“Of course not. I’m a law-abiding citizen. I don’t have anything illegal.”
“Then why do you look so guilty? What’s the delivery?”
“It’s none of your business. I have no obligation to tell you.”
“Are you sure it’s none of my business?”
“Of course it’s none of your business!”
“Then don’t come looking for me afterwards.”
The look on his handsome face was unreadable and his tone had hidden meanings.
Flossie thought he was behaving strangely, but she was too eager to see what Mr. Q looked like, so she ignored him.
The courier was waiting anxiously outside the gate. When he saw Flossie walking over, he waved at her warmly and gave her a small package. “Hi. This is your package. Please sign here.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Flossie checked the shipping address on the package. It was indeed sent from the Civil Affairs Bureau.
She turned around to leave, but the courier hastily stopped her.
