Xavier shrugged and said, “All I can tell you is, the Murphy family came to power through shady means. The methods they used were much more brutal than what you see in TV shows. If you don’t show up, considering the power of the Guajardo family, maybe there’s still room for negotiation between the two families. But if you go back, it would be a huge provocation to the Murphy family. If you upset them, the consequences could be really dire.”
“That’s right. Let’s just stay put and not do anything reckless. I think Halston must have thought this through.”
Leia quickly agreed with Xavier and secretly gave him a thumbs up.
‘This playboy is quite eloquent. He managed to explain the situation with just a few words.”
“Fine, I’ll wait a little longer.”
Flossie finally changed her mind.
“Thank goodness.”
Leia released Flossie’s hand with relief. She exchanged glances with Xavier and they smiled at each other. For the first time, the two of them were on the same side.
That evening, they drank some wine and had a long conversation.
The children were restless that evening. Even though it was already past eleven o’clock, they were still not feeling sleepy. They insisted that Flossie keep them company.
The children’s bedroom was decorated like a starry sky. Flossie lay in the center of the bed with a child on each side. The children clutched Flossie’s arms like a couple of kittens.
“Mommy, Daddy has been gone for so long. When is he coming back? Abby misses him.”
Abby pouted, clearly feeling a bit unhappy.
The two kids were dissatisfied with Halston to begin with. Halston managed to regain some favor when he stayed on Sun Island for a few days, but his sudden disappearance disappointed the children again.
“Well, it’s a bit complicated.”
Flossie felt a bit awkward.
Adie asked expressionlessly, “What’s so complicated about it? He abandoned us, right? It’s not the first time he’s done it, so it’s no surprise.”
“Ugh, no, that’s not it…”
Flossie decided to be honest with the children. She then asked them sincerely, “If you’re Mommy, do you think Mommy should fight alongside Daddy or stay here and wait for him to come back?”
The two children barely hesitated. They spoke in unison, “We should fight alongside Daddy, of course!”
Even though Adie was small and adorable, he carried himself with a mature and calm demeanor that belied his age. He was smarter and more composed than many adults.
The little boy rubbed his chin and came up with a plan. “Maybe you can stay here with Abby while I go to Beach City to check out the situation there. If the problem is small, I’ll just take care of it myself so you won’t have to come forward.”
“Adie is amazing. Let Adie handle it. He can solve any problem…”
Abby sang Adie’s praises while looking at him with starry eyes. At the same time, she did not forget to insult Halston. “I knew it. Handsome Daddy only has a handsome face, but he’s actually really weak. He gets caught by the enemy so easily and now Mommy has to go rescue him. Adie is much stronger than he is.”
Adie shook his head and sighed with a youthful maturity. “Like I always say, without me, this family is done for!”
Flossie: “……”
She sometimes wondered if her kids had been possessed by some sort of spirit. They seemed to be able to do anything already at such a young age. It made adults like her appear redundant and foolish.
Tsk tsk, she should not have chosen to give birth at sea!
Flossie naturally could not let Adie go to Beach City to “stir up trouble”, so she ordered the two kids seriously, “Alright, listen up, you two. I agree with you, we can’t just do nothing. We should fight alongside your father. However, the enemy this time is too dangerous, so Mommy must be the one to go to war. The biggest help you two can give us is to stay on Sun Island, listen to Aunt Leia and Uncle Xavier, and wait for us to come back…”
“Mommy, trust me, I can do it!”
Adie frowned and insisted.
He was actually worried that Flossie might be in danger and did not want Flossie to go alone.
“It’s not up to discussion. You’re not allowed to leave Sun Island until we get back, otherwise… I’ll break your legs!”
Flossie looked stern and pointed at Adie. “Do you hear me? I’m mainly talking about you. Don’t mess around.”
She then rubbed Abby’s head and said gently, “Abby, your task is to keep an eye on your brother, okay?”
“Don’t worry, Mommy. I’ll keep a close eye on him. I won’t let him go anywhere.”
Abby nodded. To her, Mommy’s words were absolute. No one could disobey them.
At about three o’clock in the morning, while everyone’s asleep, Flossie contacted the captain and left Sun Island to return to Beach City.
When the plane landed in Beach City, it was daytime. The rising sun pierced through the clouds, dyeing the sky golden, making the day seem full of vitality and hope.
As soon as Flossie walked out of the VIP exit, she called Halston, but he still would not pick up the phone.
“Damn it, did he get killed by an assassin sent by the Murphy family?”
Various bloody scenes flashed across Flossie’s mind, intensifying her unease even more.
She was about to grab a taxi when a silver Bugatti honked at her.
The window of the car slowly rolled down, revealing a handsome face that looked like Halston, but more mischievous and dangerous.
“Sister-in-law! You’re finally here!”
The man casually leaned on the car window with smiley eyes. He was handsome in a bad-boy kind of way and attracted a lot of attention.
“Jovan Guajardo!”
Flossie’s expression instantly soured.
‘What is that madman doing here? Is it a coincidence or is he waiting for me?’
Regardless of what he was doing there, at a critical time like this, she should stay as far away from him as possible.
So, Flossie pushed her sunglasses up her nose and pretended that Jovan did not exist. She lifted her chin like a proud peacock as she walked past his car.
Jovan remained smiling. He raised his eyebrows and looked even more excited. He started the car and followed behind Flossie in the lowest gear.
“Sister-in-law, you won’t be able to grab a taxi here. Where do you want to go? I can take you there.”
Jovan leaned out of the window while holding the steering wheel with one hand. He shouted at Flossie.
Moving at a turtle speed like that was an insult to a sports car like a Bugatti.
But in the eyes of outsiders, it was a scene straight out of soap opera!
Tsk tsk, the wealthy young master made the sister-in-law he’s secretly in love with mad, so he followed behind her like an obedient puppy in a limited edition sports car worth millions. It was such a romantic scene!
At first, Flossie planned to pretend that he did not exist, but Jovan went crazy. Not only did he cause a traffic jam, he also recklessly shouted many inappropriate things.
