Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Flossie could not help but burst into laughter upon hearing Leia’s nickname for Xavier.
“I know you’re trying to tell me that Xavier is a good guy, but… why should I settle with a shit-flavored chocolate? Why can’t I just look for a normal chocolate?”
Leia sighed.
“Fine. If you really have no chemistry with him, I won’t try and persuade you any more. I’ll ask him to leave!”
“You do just that! I… I can’t face him anymore!”
Leia’s face turned red again. She felt so embarrassed that she could die.
At that moment, Xavier came out and walked towards them. He was dressed in casual attire and slippers and was holding a can of soda in his hand, as if nothing had happened last night.
“What should I do? He’s here! He’s here! I don’t know how to face him. Hurry up and stop him!”
Leia awkwardly scratched the ground with her leg while blushing, making a hole in the beach beneath her feet.
“Uhh… How am I supposed to stop him? I…”
Flossie was at a loss.
After all, a shameless guy like Xavier would just go wherever he wanted. There was no way she could stop him.
As the man approached, the panicking Leia jumped into the sea and swam offshore.
“? ? ?”
The smile on Xavier’s face disappeared. He was also shocked by Leia’s action.
“What’s wrong with Leia?”
He asked Flossie with a puzzled look.
“Umm… She… She’s just taking a morning swim. It’s a habit she’s had for years.”
Flossie came up with a random excuse to cover up for Leia.
Xavier believed her. He had an appreciative look on his face. “It’s a great habit to have. Many of the girls I’ve met are very delicate. They would start complaining after staying too long under the sun, let alone exercising.”
“Leia is a special woman. Other women are like fragile and delicate flowers, while she’s like wild grass, always exuding an air of freedom and resilience.”
Seeing his expression, Flossie carefully probed, “Sounds like you like my bestie. You have good taste. I’ll give you a thumbs up.”
“Of course I like her. In fact… I like any independent and confident woman.”
“Tch, you playboy!”
Flossie’s face suddenly turned serious. She grabbed his collar and asked, “Tell me honestly. Did you bully her last night?”
“What do you mean by bully?”
Xavier smiled and said, “Perhaps what you thought of as bullying was a wonderful experience for both of us.”
“Stop feigning ignorance. You know what I’m talking about. Did you touch her?”
Flossie let out a long sigh and said with concern, “She has a huge mental burden right now and she doesn’t know how to face you. But you can’t avoid each other forever.”
“Why? We’re both adults. But what a surprise. Even though she wears sexy clothes, she’s actually such a conservative person. The contrast is pretty cute.”
Xavier remarked while watching Leia swim in the sea.
“Yeah, I didn’t realize that either. She makes a lot of lewd jokes with me, but it turns out she’s all talk… This is all my fault. I was so eager to set you two up that I neglected how she would feel.”
Flossie really wanted to give herself a big fat slap.
If Leia suffered a psychological trauma from this, she would never be able to forgive herself!
“Aah, it’s my fault, it’s all my fault. Because I saw how intimate you guys were last night, I thought you had a good impression of each other and just needed a little push… I didn’t expect one of you to be a playboy while the other to be a virtuous woman! You’re people from two vastly different worlds!”
“Hahaha, the playboy and the virtuous woman… I like this description.”
“Stop laughing! What should we do now? Will you take responsibility?”
Flossie pinched Xavier hard, hating him for being so unreliable.
“……”
Xavier kept quiet. He stretched and slowly took off his jacket, revealing his muscular body. His body was so perfect that Flossie could not look away.
“What are you doing? Why did you take off your clothes?”
Flossie asked curiously. She then urged, “Take off your pants too if you dare!”
“I’m going for a morning swim, of course!”
Xavier’s beautiful eyes curved into wicked arches. “I won’t take off my pants. Leia might feel shy…”
Then, like Leia, he too plunged into the sea.
Flossie watched as the two figures got closer and closer to each other in the blue sea.
She ran away, but he gave chase, and now she’s caught!
Tsk, tsk, tsk. How romantic.
Flossie could not help but smile. She was almost moved to tears.
She knew her decision was correct. The man she had carefully chosen for her bestie could not be that bad!
“Hurry up and catch up to her, Xavier! Do your best!”
Flossie cheered Xavier on from the shore.
“Alright, that’s enough. Be careful not to catch a cold.”
Halston had arrived at some point. He gently wrapped a striped embroidered shawl around Flossie’s shoulders.
“Thank you.”
Flossie turned around and gave him a sweet smile.
The two embraced each other like they had for many mornings in the past.
Feeling the warmth of the man’s embrace, she felt a happiness from the bottom of her heart. So this was what it felt like to enjoy peace and quiet with a loved one!
