Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Back then, Grandpa immediately offered support to your family when he learned that they were in trouble.
He even forced me to marry you and protect you, but unfortunately, I had my heart set on Phoenix, so I missed the chance of being with you.” When Haze thought about it, he felt like slapping himself.
He leaned closer to her, and said half-jokingly, “Do you think all this nonsense wouldn’t have happened if you married me instead back then? It would have been easy for us to crush the Guajardo family, and you wouldn’t have had conflict with your mother-in-law.
What’s more, those homewreckers wouldn’t have forced you to divorce your husband.’ “Maybe.” Flossie looked at Haze thoughtfully and placed her hand on his cheek.
’You’re indeed handsome and come from a powerful background.
The most important thing is that we share the same trade.
We can compete against each other in writing codes too.
Sometimes I wondered if I would be happy if I married you instead back then?” “Well, it’s never too late… We can always start now,’ Haze said softly and lifted her chin.
Haze closed his eyes and tried to kiss Flossie.
For the first time, Flossie did not punch him, but tried to accept it.
Human beings needed roughly seven years to have a full cell metabolism, so maybe a person could transform into someone else in seven years.
Flossie knew that she had loved Halston wholeheartedly for more than ten years.
Even her cells had completed their metabolism, so by right, she should also get a new lover.
After all, a vague love affair would probably just fade with time.
Their lips gently came into contact, but before they could deepen the kiss, a cold breeze hit them.
“No, I can’t!” Flossie suddenly gasped, and pushed Haze away.
She looked like she had woken up from a dream, and said remorsefully, “I must be out of my mind!” Haze frowned and held her shoulders, asking gently, “What’s wrong? What’s troubling you?’ “Nothing’s wrong, it’s just…” Flossie shook her head and muttered, “Men and women should get together because they love each other, not because they have the same interests.
Of course I can’t just casually date someone just because my love affair failed.
It’s unfair to you.’ “No, that’s not it,” Haze insisted.
“It is, since we have no love for each other.
We just laid out the reasons that we’re suitable for each other, but we didn’t mention love.
Shouldn’t that be the foundation for us to be together? Without it, it’s useless even if we have compatibility,” Flossie tried to explain to Haze.
Haze was practically tailor-made for her, but she felt nothing for him.
Even dogs could find the stinky old toy they yearned for among a bunch of fancy new toys.
Maybe Halston was like the old toy she couldn’t forget about.
People might feel disgusted by it and tell her to pick something else, but she couldn’t change her old habits.
If that was the case, then she deserved to suffer! After Haze listened to her explanation, he was silent for a long time before he whispered, “That’s what you think.
You haven’t chosen to be with me yet, so you’ll never know whether love can bloom between us.
There’s love at first sight as well as the love that grows with time.
Maybe we’ll find that we can love each other after spending more time with each other.
We’ll be the kind of soulmates who are very in tune with each other.” “No, that’s impossible.
If that was the case, we would have fallen in love much earlier.” Flossie waved her hand dismissively and said firmly, “We can only be friends and teammates.
We’re indeed in tune with each other, but it’ll be impossible for love to grow between us.” “What if I’m kind and good enough to make you fall in love with me?” “Kind?” Flossie chuckled and looked at him in amusement.
“It takes seven years for a full metabolism.
How long can your passion last? Don’t bite off more than you can chew.” “You don’t have to worry about it.
My passion can last for a very long time.
After all, didn’t I soldier through after so many years? Probably, the reason that I failed to make you warm up to me is…” Haze smirked and suddenly gave her a peck on the lips.
“Maybe I’m not hot enough.” He quickly pulled away but said confidently, “Don’t worry, we’ll fall in love with each other sooner or later… After all, I managed to win over my future brotherin-law.
As for you, you’ll soon be mine!” After that night, Carmine Pawnshop began its cooperation with the Baldwin family.
However, it had suffered a gigantic loss previously because of the shipwreck, so they could not transport the treasures back on time.
The Baldwin family showed their sincerity and invested a large sum of 4.5 million dollars in Carmine Pawnshop to help them remedy their loss.
Quinton was grinning all the time and was always discussing things with Haze.
He was very submissive and respectful towards Haze too.
However, Quinton and Flossie’s relationship had become strange after that night.
They were not as close to each other as before… and now, they just chose to ignore each other.
Sometimes they pretended like they didn’t see each other when their paths crossed, and wouldn’t even greet each other.
Whenever they spoke, it was only either out of necessity or to insult the other.
Both Haze and Leia were stuck in the middle of their fight, and they felt like they were walking on eggshells.
“Quinton, eat more.
If not, your belly will become so small that nothing can go in it.” As they sat at the table to eat, Flossie suddenly put some food on Quinton’s plate.
Everyone could tell that Flossie was implying that Quinton was petty.
Quinton expressionlessly ate the food she gave him before he served her some food as well and sneered.
“Flossie, this is fresh.
Eat more so you’ll get smarter.” “Thank you, Quinton.
This is nice too.
You’ll earn more money when you’re stronger and healthier.” “Thank you, Flossie.
Eat more fish so your brain will be smart enough to tell good people from bad.” Throughout dinner, the siblings served each other food and ridiculed each other.
Haze and Leia exchanged glances, but chose not to say anything and kept eating.
