To avoid any harm to both of them, he chose the path where they would be separated.
“Oh, darling!” Flossie closed her eyes as she held a large part of the blanket.
She sounded sleepy as she complained, “What’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you in bed? I told you not to work overtime.
Why do you want to make so much money? You just need to enjoy your life with Adie, Abby, and me.” Flossie, in a trance, seemed to be living in a time when she was still with Halston. She always went to bed before Halston.
On the contrary, Halston was a workaholic who was never satisfied with his duties.
Every day, he would work until late at night.
After he was done and went to bed, he would disturb her, who was sound asleep.
She would then complain rudely about him since she was already fast asleep.
It was as if they had traveled through time, and were back to the past-when they were still lovey-dovey, living together as a happy family of four…
“I’m sorry.
It’s my fault.
1 should’ve cherished every moment and be with you and the kids stefan murmured
Halston knew Flossie was in a trance from being drunk, but he didn’t correct her.
Instead, he played his part well and behaved like usual.
He tried to comfort her.
“Be good.
When I’m done with this project, I’ll bring you and the kids back tosun e
Island.
I bought an advanced diving set.
We can dive deep into the sea and enjoy the wonderful things of this e world… okay
I love diving! You can’t lie to me.” Flossie kept her eyes closed as she smiled sweetly
She sounded very eager.
Halston patted Flossie’s back and said gently, “Yes, I promised.
Just go to sleep.”
“That’s good.” When Flossie heard a satisfactory answer, she wrapped the blanket tightly around her and muttered, “You know I hate people lying to me the most.” She seemed to be in a beautiful dream that she had fantasized about numerous times.
Soon, she dozed off steadily and sweetly.
Halston remained quiet and tenderly patted her back, as if he was trying to comfort a child.
In the dark, his eyes shone with a deepened passion and restraint.
Even so, he didn’t lie to Flossie.
Before he fell out with Flossie, he spent a lot of money to buy four sets of professional diving equipment.
He planned to return to Sun Island with her, Adie, and Abby after he was done with his work at Guajardo Enterprise.
He wanted a peaceful life with them.
Sun Island had always been a peaceful island with beautiful scenery.
The quality of the water there was top-notch in the world.
It was a great place for diving.
Halston had imagined going there many times.
They would be very happy living on the island.
Unfortunately…
Things did not turn out as planned.
Four sets of professional diving equipment were left in his cloakroom, unused.
Halston would probably never get to use them.
When it was almost dawn, Halston failed to hold on.
He hugged Flossie, and dozed off into a sound sleep.
By then, Flossie had woken up.
She still remembered the previous conversation with Halston.
It gave her a sudden blow, and she quickly sat up in bed.
“Oh, my! That wasn’t a dream.
It was real?” Flossie watched the familiar bedroom and the man whom she was very familiar with lying beside her.
Remorse overwhelmed her, as if she were a young woman who had first tasted lovemaking.
She felt like dying.
‘Oh, my! You’re so fearless and reckless, aren’t you? How could you get entangled with him again? Don’t you have any self-esteem? If people learn about this, 1’1] kill myself even if they don’t tell me off about it.’ Flossie held her breath, and carefully pushed the blanket aside to avoid awkwardness from facing him.
She wanted to sneak away.
She stepped on the carpet, and bent over.
She searched for her high heels for a long time before walking out of the bedroom while holding them. “Yes, you can do it.
Once you’re out, you can pretend that this never happened.
This humiliating day will only remain in your dream A shamed Flossie kept cheering herself on
She felt very uneasy for having slept in the same bed as Halston.
It was a great humiliation to her.
