you can start over with me.” Flossie didn’t know why she was throwing away her pride like this.
She held his hand and placed it on her face.
“I can do what she can.
We can be happy together too…” “Don’t do this…” Halston took a step back, feeling sorry for Flossie.
“You used to be free, independent, and strong.
You never took men seriously!”
“People change especially when they Le get a second chance
I’m not what you think I am; this is the real me.
I just want to follow my heart and have no regrets…. Flossie whispered the stood on tiptoe and kissed him.
She would never try to please him that way in the past but all hatred towards him disappeared when he almost died.
She just wanted to be with him, and show him that she still cared.
“How could you…” When Halston felt her lips on his, he stiffened.
He knew that he should turn her down, but his body refused to listen.
Unable to stop himself, he cradled the back of her head and deepened their kiss.
At that moment, both of them abandoned their facade and embraced each other tightly.
They could feel the other’s love; Halston understood Flossie’s fragility, and she understood his helplessness.
“Daddy, Mommy…” After some rest, Adie finally woke up.
He sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes, looking at his parents in confusion.
“Have you made up with each other?” Halston and Flossie immediately jumped away from each other.
Flossie blushed as she hurriedly wiped her lips and smoothed her clothes.
“Ahem…
Adie, why didn’t you tell me you had woken up?” Halston pretended to be calm as he walked to the bed and touched Adie’s head.
“You look much better.
Are you feeling sick?” “It was just a small hurricane, it’s not my first time getting caught in one.
I’m fine,” Adie said maturely.
He glanced at his solemn father and flustered mother, then said bluntly, “There’s no need to be shy-it’s very normal for a couple to show their love by kissing. Flossie froze at the bathroom door, speechless.
Although she was the one who had taught Adie that, she hadn’t expected him to use those words against her.
“You’re right-kissing is indeed an expression of love.” Halston nodded proudly.
It was good to have such a smart child; they didn’t have to waste time explaining things.
“Well, Daddy, do you love Mommy?” Adie continued.
“Of course I do!” Halston replied instantly.
His love for Flossie was sincere, and there was no need to hide it.
To be honest, he couldn’t hide it even if he tried.
“Really?” Adie’s eyes brightened, and he hurriedly asked, “Then will you get back together with mommy? can our family oxfour stay together forever like we used to?” “L.” Halston hesitated, his gaze unreadable.
He could feel Flossie’s expectant gaze on him, and his heart pounded in his chest.
After a while, he swallowed and said, “No, I won’t.” The room went silent.
Finally, Flossie let out a soft sigh, feeling like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders
It felt like she had been desperately trying to hold something that kept slipping through her fingers and now she had an answer.
It felt quite reassuring since Flossie now had nothing else to lose.
Adie, however, wasn’t as understanding as Flossie.
He couldn’t figure out why his parents didn’t want to be together even though they loved each other.
“Daddy, did you make a mistake? Are you being punished for it?” Adie scrutinized Halston, his eyes narrowed.
“Why can’t you be with Mommy? Isn’t it more painful to be away from the person you love?” Although he was just a child, he knew that being together with your loved ones meant happiness.
For example, he loved to spend time with his parents, Abby, and Tiffany, and would miss them when he didn’t see them.
It didn’t make sense to him that Halston wanted to suffer such misery when he could just live happily with Flossie.
“Yeah, I made a mistake, so I have no right to be with her.” Halston smiled regretfully as he looked at Adie.
“If I only bring her harm, would you still want me to stay with her?” “What do you mean?” Adie pouted, refusing to give up. “You should adore Mommy since you love her.
Why would you want to harm her? Daddy, you’re contradicting yourself.
I don’t like you when you’re like this!” “Adults are very complicated, and sometimes, things happen the way they’re meant to.
It’s hard to resist fate…
You’ll understand when you’re older.” Halston kept his head low, sounding miserable.
“T don’t understand, and I don’t want to.
All I know is that people should be together if they love each other.
If you love Mommy, you should be nice to her.
If you can’t do that, then don’t say that you love her.
You have no right to love her!” Adie didn’t believe Halston’s words, he just found him to be hypocritical.
I’m going to ignore you, and so will Mommy!” Adie turned away from Halston and jumped out of bed angrily.
He walked to Flossie and held her hand, patting it comfortingly.
