When Flossie heard Edmund’s words, her expression hardened, and she said in a chilly tone, “Mr. Hanson, I’m grateful for your assistance the other night and your advice today, but please don’t speak of my boyfriend in such a way.”
Her voice was measured and distant.
Edmund’s eyes shifted a tad, a smirk formed at the corners of his mouth, but his cold demeanor gave off a spine-tingling chill.
In a quiet yet forceful tone, he asked, “Do you both share a strong bond?
Does he treat you well?”
Flossie frowned, expressing her unhappiness. “Mr. Hanson, we love each other, so I want to lend a hand. If you find my request a burden, please disregard it.”

Edmund remained quiet.
He observed Flossie with an intense gaze and eventually offered a warm smile.

“Are you serious?” Flossie’s demeanor brightened.
Edmund affirmed, “Yes, but I’ll reserve my judgment until after I meet him.”

Edmund remained silent, his expression unchanging.
After thanking him once more, Flossie stood up to leave.
Though Edmund wished for her to stay longer, he didn’t want to intimidate her, so he let her depart.

Years had passed without a trace of her, and he never imagined they’d cross paths like this.
He pondered if it was destiny.
Edmund’s eyes filled with tears. He held back from letting her know he was her father.
He was uncertain about how Flossie viewed her father, fearing that his revelation might drive her to despise him and keep her distance.
He switched off his phone, exhaling deeply. It was better to wait, he thought.
Flossie arrived home, her spirits high. Upon entering, she encountered Benny, who was getting some water.
Benny gave her a questioning look and raised an eyebrow, noting her lack of groceries. “Weren’t you supposed to be at the supermarket? Didn’t you pick up anything?”
